Mad Dog !"--or worse.

Ifa mad dog were seen at large IN the
streets, every one, high and low, rich and poor
would join in the hue and cry-mad dog mad
dog kill him kill him Yet mischief far
more efficient and harder to kill, is at work in
every street and alley in our cities, without
exciting alarm, or attempts to kill 1t. On the
contrary, rum-hot, burning, debasing rum
is poured into the "vital parts of the body,
in thousands of gallons. and Christian legisla-
tors raise money for government by the sale OF
licenses, to dribble out the poison by retail, so
small as to gather in the coppers that fall from
the hands of charity into the cap of the poor
est begger. The mad dog infuses his poison
in the blood of single victim. Rum destroys,
every year, ten thousand fathers oil families,
and leaves them to beggary and prostitution
gnd yet, strange to say, we do not see Society
to cry out against alcoholic liquor as against
the mad dog, as they should do; nor go to
rest until the monster is destroyed. Look at
single fact OF the LIPS inmates Of the
Aims house at Baltimore, during the year, ac-
cording to their report just made, l,0ll were
inten,p. rate aduHs!! And yet the laws of Ma
ryland allow and make money out of the sale
of the detestable poison. Make money as man
would make money by burning stack of wheat
on being assured that its ashes might be resol-
we'd into one silver dollar. Talk of Christian
ity! Could barbarians commit greater FOLLY
than loes the Christian community that licen-
ses the sale of baneful poison, which under
our eyes is every day filing our poor-houses
and penitentiaries, and entailing misery and
moral depreciation on so many thousands =
Were it possible to bring to trial community
that permits, much more licenses, the accursed
source of so much moral evil ought it not to
be consigned to the Penitentiary as accessories
to thousand daily crimes of every species and
of the deepest dves- IN. Y. Tribune.

DR.. Dwight's Lecture.

The lecture before the Lyceum last week
was from the Rev. DR.. Dwight, of Portland.
His subject was the River Rhine, or more par
ticularly ga day on the Rhine" being a de.
scription of days passage up that river in a
German Steamboat. The lecturer gave an in
teresting description of the cities, castles,
scenery, &c +, of the country bordering on the
river and related several incidents and legends
connected with the various places which he
describes.
There is one grea. advantage reaped from
lectures of this character, and that is, one gets
much better idea of the scenes and things
described from hearing the description from
the lips of one who has visited them than can
be gained by reading them in books, and they
are much more wildly and firmly impressed
on the memory.

Widows Wood Society.

Our citizens will see, by notice in another
column, that this society will hold a meeting
tomorrow evening. 1t is hoped that there
will be full attendance of the warm hearted
and charitable. The unusually high price of
fuel has, doubtless, created much suffering in
our midst, and who will sit down quietly by
his own tireside, knowing that there are those
so near him who are thus suffering, without
doing something to- relieve them. While we
give freely to the poor of other lands, let us
remember that charity begins at home, and
that it is our first duty to relieve those who
are in want in our immediate neighborhood.

HousE.-Mr. Rhett of South Carolina ask
ed and obtained leave to make personal ex-
PLANTATION.
He was called to order by Mr.. King of Ca,
Mr.. Rockwell of Conn.,, and Mr.. Smith of la.
on the ground that he was making reply to
Mr.. Goggn's argument instead of combining
his remarks to explanations personal to him
self.
His object in taking the floor at this tine
was to express hope that the debate on the
Presidents Annual Message would be con-
Guided too day or early tomorrow. If not he
would tomorrow move the previous question
on the resolution now pending.
Mr.. Cobb said that members of his side were
ready to close the debate yesterday, had not
the remarks of the gentleman from Vermont
required an answer. He then proceeded with
his speech.
In conclusion, Mr.. Cobb moved to amend
this amendment by inserting the words land
others" after the word Personal.
Mr.. Stevens replied to Mr.. Cobb, and Mr..
Brown, of Penn, replied to Mr.. Stevens.
The Speaker, being appealed to each time'
decided that leave having been given to Mr..
Rhett by the House, he had no power to pre-
vent that gentleman from proceeding, if he
confined his remarks to matters personal to
himself
ing. and appealed from the decision of the
Chair to the House, not to establish prece-
dent for similar cases in future.
Mr.. Stevens moved to lay the appeal on the
table. Carried yeas 90, nays 36.
Mr.. Collamer, and several other members,

taken up.
Mr.. Cobb of Georgia, having the floor,
yielded it to Mr.. Vinton, who said that he had
on Saturday given notice that he would call

portant that it should be acted upon imme
diately.

The Kissing Case.

The hearing in the Police Court, on the
complaint for ejecting Mr.. Bostock from his
boarding house, was finished yesterday. Mr..
Justice Cushing held that the defendants were
guilty of no offence against the laws, and
ordered them all to be discharged. The de-
fence was maintained upon the ground, that
if boarder is rude and insolent in his con-
duct to the lady of the house or her family,
and then refuses to leave the house when
ordered to do so by her, he may be put out of
the house, with tina. degree of force which is
necessary for the purpose. without the use of
unnecessary violence.-Ad0.
Robert Rantoul, Jr., addressed the Anti
Capital Punishment Convention in Boston
last week. He processes to consider it wrong
for government to take life as punishment
for murder; but in his speech on presenting
Caleb Cushing with a sword, last winter, he
expressed no doubts of tho right to butcher
Mexicans.-SpringfeM Gazette.
