The Way to Stop II.

3 In Phlladelphia, one day lately, res
pectable looking man, by the name ct
Richard Suite, who occasionally gets
drunk, was before Judge Kelly for SEN
tence, having been convicted Of an assault
and battery, with intent to kill. He had
stabbed an acquaintance, in a fight, in
four different places. Judge Kelly, in
sentencing him, said
cit was my duty few days since, to
sentence man to twelve years 'imprison-
ment, for using a knife just as you did
His case grew out of a meeting with a
number of his acquaintances, at drink
ng shop, on Sunday. The place was full,
and the fight was with an acquaintance
Just your case, precisely. Yours occurred
near the same place. But there was a
difference in your case: the man you
stabbed was unable to be in court to les
tify against you, because you did
not try to kill him, but because YOU hap
pened to strike the feshy part of the body,
the other sent his victim to another
world. By the nearest chance, you were
saved twenty years imprisonment. You
have proved good character when sober
When you are out Of prison, and about to
drink again, just think that goa see the
yolloms at the bottom Of your glass! The
use of the knife has become too common,
and we intend to make an effort to stop
it; [, therefore, shall give your sentence
proportionate to our rule. and fix the
period at seventeen months in the Eastern
Penitentiary. This is the penalty for get
ting drunk
1t is great pity we have not Judge
Kelly in. some Of our courts, instead of
men who are afraid to pronounce death
sentence, and when forced to do it, shed
tears while doing so. .sT1.

Official visit,

The Secretary of the Interior, George
McClelland, accompanied by his chic
clerk, Mr.. Whiting, made an official visit
last evening to the United States Peni-
tertiary in this District. They were
politely received by the new " arden, Mr..
Thornley,, the new Clerk, Mr.. King, and
the other officers Of the Institution.
Their examination, being an introduce
tory one, was confined to the business
arrangements and books of the Warden s
office. On future occasions the visits will
be extended to all parts Of the prison,
with view to ascertaining all its work
ings, and the corrections of it's abuses,
where any are found to exist.
The Secretary and his associate in
office appeared highly pleased with the
aspect of affairs thus far presented.
1t was the practice of Mr.. McClelland,
when acting as Governor of Michigan, to
visit the public institutions of that State
without giving any previous notice. By
this means he always discovered things
exactly as they were, and was the better
able to correct any, evils that might have
crept in. -. .et4
