The State in which the business is carried
on most largely, is New York, which makes
more than one half the ale, nearly one quarter
of the whiskey, and more than one third of the
rum. .. -.-.
Ohio does very large business in this line +;
che makes nearly one-third of all the whiskey,
but no rum, and only $1,000 bbls. ale. Penn
sylvania makes about one-sixth of the whiskey
and the ale, but very small quantity of rum,
1900 gallons only.
Massachusetts manufactures more than half
OF all the rum, but furnishes very little whis-
key or ale, only 100, 900 gallons of the former,
and $500 bbls. of the latter.
Of the 42,OOO,O 900 gallons of whiskey and
l,l77 900 bbls ale, New York, Ohio and Penn
sylvania furnish $4,000, 900 gallons of whiskey
and 93l 900 bbls ale.
OF the 6,50O,OOO gallons rum, all but the
small quantity of 225, 900, gallons is furnished
by Massachusetts, and New York, the former
State making 3, ,7s6 900, and the latter 2 1885,

thrilled the delicate organization of Miss Da-

And Farewell to thee, Anacreon Moore -

A MODEL WIFE. There is one in Indiana,
on the Wabash river, who takes it into her
head, and sometimes practices, while her old
man has gone to town, ploughing, nursing and
fishing, all at once. She first yokes an OK and
a cow to the plough the puts her twin babies
into the corn basket, and suspends ii on tree !;
then takes the bell off the COW and attaches it
to the end of her fishing pole, which is stuck
into the ground at the waters edge; she then
commences ploughing around the field at ev-

A Hero.

There is an endearlng tenderness says
Washington Irving, in the love of a mother
for her son, that transcends all other affections
of the heart We have Just heard Of a touch
ing illustration of the fact, that the love of son
for his mother may also transcend and swallow
up all other affections, at moment, too, when
he might well be pardoned for remembering
only his own great trials.
Some two years ago young man, belong
ing TO Philadelphia, was returning by railroad
from the town of Reading, Pennsylvania. By
an accident which happened to the train as it
was approaching town, while he was standing
on the platform, he was thrown off, and fell
partly under the wheel of the succeeding car,
and had his right arm, marrowbones and ALL
crushed to jelly, and dropped uselessly by
his side. This, however, was fortunately his
only injury. He was young man of deter
mined nerve and noble spirit He uttered no
complaint-not even groan. When he arrived
at the depot, a carriage was immediate ordered,
when attended by friend, he said to the
coachman-
Drive at once to DR.. Ms in Walnut
street.
Hadn't you better go Immediately home q
No, said he, Il don't want them to know
anything about it till its all over
Our hero, for he ,cas hero, was deaf to all
the connter-remonstrances of his friend, and
they drove rapidly to the house of the eminent
surgeon alluded to. They were shown into
the parlor, and the doctor was summoned
After examination
'Wel, my dear fellow said the surgeon,
for he was very well acquainted with his pa
tient, 'yon know, suppose, what must be
done!'

haUing it done, came here
My surgical table, said the doctor, 8 is be-
low

sufferer. cannot be ted cannot be held.
Amputate my arm here, DOCTOR he continued,
holding out the dangling limb over the back of
the sofa. Do it here. doctor; | shall not
finch; | shall not interfere with your opera
tions'
The limb was barred, and two attendants,
medical students in the house, were summoned.
The arm was taken off below the elbow, while
the patient sat as he had requested, utiering no
groan nor a word, while the operation was be-
ing performed. The dressing was applied ;;
and attended by his friend, the patient reached
the door on his way home, when he turned to
the surgeon, and said, DIR. should like to look
at my arm once more pray let me see it, The
patient glanced at the bloodless hand, and said, .,
Doctor, there is ring upon the middle fin
ger of that hand; won't you take it off for me !!
My mother gave me that ring when she was
on her deathbed. l can part with my arm, but
while live cannot part with that ring
The ring was slipped from the cold, white
fnger.
Put it on that finger said he, holding out
the same finger on the left hand. As he was
leaving the door with his attendants to enter
the carriage, he said, How shall | break this
thing to my poor sister!'

History teachesus that all Republics which
have heretofore existed, were in their early
existence, pure and interrupted; that so
long as they continued in the path marked
out by heir founders, they were prosperous
and happy. History also teaches that
they have all fallen. And why? We an
swer, they have all fallen into corruption.
Uninterrupted prosperity brings wealth !;
wealth, luxury; luxury, corruption; corrup.
ton, aristocracy; aristocracy, monarchy.
Against all these evils this Order will main-
tain incessant warfare. One object of the
Order is to preserve our institutions pure
and uncontaminated, as transmitted to US by
our foreiathers; and to perpetuale the same.
To hand them down in their primitive SIM
plicty, from father to son, from generation
to generation, and TO avoid, it possible the
fate of all Republics which have preceded US.

HEALTH.-It is commonly supposed that
the Nothern are healthier than The Southern
States; but if the census be true, this is a
mistake. of twenty States which we see
enumerated, Vermont has the smallest and
Massachusetts the largest proportion of deaths
per annum. Vermont has one in hundred,
and Massachusetts one in fii,y-one, Iowa is
next TO Vermont, and after this follow 10 or
der, Georgin, Michigan, Tennessee, North
Carolina, Alabama, South Carolina, Maine
&c. The proportion of deaths is one hundred
and fflv per cent greater in London, than in
South Carolina.

The London Shipping Gazette, in discours-

of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, it is
probable we shall not be long burdened with

have with the United States, we expect, will

ROMANCE AND SLIP BETWEEN THE Cur AND

took il into their innocent heads TO get married
last Sunday. The certificate was obtained on
Saturday evening, which the anticipating
swain placed in his coat poket for safe keep

formed. While on the way, the certificate
was bethought Of, but on looking for it, judge
of the CONSERVATION of both TO find it gone. -
To 90 on without it was folly, to return was
sad disappointment. But return they did, when
il leaked out that a friend of the would-be-

being opposed to the match, given it 10 the

We understand that the committee on finance
propose to ask an increase of the appropriation
for the Reform School, of $4,000, which will
make the total asked for this year for that OBJ
ject, S43, 900 instead of 5000 as above
swelling the aggregate of the appropriations
asked for in behalf of both institutions to $78,-
600. The Treasurer estimates that 5000
more will be required in 1858, to complete the
Hospital but makes no estimates of the addi-
tional sum will be required to complete the
Reform School. He, however, estimates the
expense of maintaining the institution, when
completed, at $4,000 year-though, for
want of particular data on the subject, he states
that it may vary much from the estimate
