Crime in AlleghanH Co. Pa.


During the session Of the Grand
Jury, just closed in Allegheny county,
Pa, three hundred and sisty-six in
dictments were found, and one hun
dred and thirty ignored. Two hun
dred and twelve tippling-houses were
indicted. The Dispatch says (" The
Grand Jury complain that Of ffty-llyc
ward and township constablcs, but
twelve had complied with the law,
and made returns of the tipping
houses in their respective districts,
and the twelve referred to arc chiefly
those of the two cities. They say =:
From the examination of so large an
amount Of crime, the Jury have nat
urally been induced to investigate the
cause, and find from accurate mono
randum kept, Chat all the cases Of muir
der, and e-lourths Of those of as
sault and battery, and larceny, were
committed under the influence of in
toxicating liquors. Where, then, are
we to find a remedy for SO great an
evill The Grand Jury desire that
whatever influence their united testi-
mony may have, it be expressed in
favor of the procurement of the pas
sage of some constitutional law by
our Legislature that will prohibit the
entire manufacture and sale Of all in
toxicating liquors, except for manu-
featuring purposes"
1t will doubtless strike all with sur
prise when the large number of tip
pling-houses are known; great as their
number is, they would have been
largely increased had the constables
made their proper returns.
Another item of the report was that
the number of vagrants committee to
prison during the three months end

the County of s4,t55. In addition
to this they report $1,o26, as the

pSThe author of 'Sea Bubbles, pub
lished in the Boston Journal, tells the fol-
lowing fish story p
Those of the crew who were looking over
the side, simultaneously untered fearful
shrick-for the boat was at that moment
only rounding the quarter of the ship, and
the captain had not yet got ready the har-
poon. They gave up their unhappy ship
mate for lost, when Jack Thomson, who
had been foremost among the most active
in rendering assitance, leaped upon the
gunwale, and with stunning voice, call
ing out " watch, there watch !" jumped
with all his force directly upon the back of
the shark. The feat was desperate one,
but it was admirably execnted. The feet
Of the chivalrous sailor struck the man
eating villain fairly, just abaft the shoul-
ders, slipped aside, although in different
directions, and, for a moment only, Jack
Thomson was seen riding a dernI on the
back of the sea monster, with his knotty
features lighted up with a smile, as if he
thought it was the funniest thing in the
world.
The shark thus unkindly interrupted at
the moment he was making up his mouth
for delicious bite, manifested more aston
ishment than INDIGNATION. He turned
aside abruptly from the mpting morsel
before him, and made a dash downward
through the water, that unseated Jack
without ceremony, and left him Aoundrring
about like hooked albotros. In the lapse
of few minutes Jack and Jerry we're botq
safe and sound on the deck of the Mem
PHI emagoy.

MATR,MoSIAL MAxIMs If your object
is to be happy, never marry rich woman,
without rank, or lady of rank without
riches; the former will taunt you with
the poverty you experienced before mar
riage, and the latter will taunt yon feel af
ter.
If you marry one of a number of sis
ters, you run some risk of being the slave
of the who'll.
If you mean to be really a domestic
man never marry an ugly woman, even
though she have the wealth of Putus, and
the virtue OF an angel.
If your wife be seizad with violent fit
Of kindness, be careful what promise you
make while it lasts.
She who prom unces obey most auli'ly
before the person, will be IN ost audible il
