some years previous shows that in this COM
munion tho proportion which Births, Marriages,
and Deaths bear to each other in each year,
(making allowance for the mortality from Chol-
era in lS4O and 1909 is remarkably uniform.
The eonlpa. attire falling of in the number of
marriages in the last two years, may be account
cd for by the fact that larger share Of the
German emigrants that reach this place make
for the country, than formerly. Cincinnati.
also, is not so extensively the landing place for
them as it once was. The emigration toMichigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri, passes to the
Lake ports by way of Buffalo, or TO ST. Louis
and other places on the Mississippi river. The
increase also, relatively, of Irish as compared
with German cmigrants, serves to account for
the diminished number of marriages. The
great body of Germans who reach here are un-
married persons-wilh the Irish emigrants the
contrary Is the case. There are much larger
number of the latter class coming among us
than formerly ] see that they constitute al
most one half of the Catholic population. and
in few years will equal the German, at the
present rate OF increase.
The increase of members of tho Roman
Church corresponds very nearly with our whole
city increase Of population-tLat is, ten per
cent anhuPly. The proportion OF that COM
munion to all others is as SO to G5, which is
about the proportion it has borne for twelve
or fifteen years past. Any one can SEQ from
this that the foreign element is very impor-
tant one in the character of our city.
3 You may be aware of the fact that the Com
missioners appointed to locate and provide
plans for the two new Lunatic Asylums, au-
thorzed by the Legislature a year since, have
determined To build ono near Cleveland, the
other near Dayton. TO the location of the lat
ter, strong dissatisfaction has been expressed
by our citizens. An excellent lot of ground
near this place of IS acres was ofcrd for the
purpose, very convenient of access by Railroad
and owing to the large tax paid by this county
for the support of the insane, and the large
number in our Hospital, and always to be found
in a city of this size, the institution ought to
have been located near this place. The truth
is, the pn6lie good had little weight in deter
mining the selection. The Committee made

The driver of the r. R. Hotel stage, after stri-
king the omnibus, instead of holding up lashed his
horses. and thus produced the catastrophe. The

blameless.

FRUIT STEALlre.-The Barre, (sfass.) Gazette
complains that the grounds of Rev. Mr.. Hodges
and DIR. Bates have been robbed of the choice fruit
which the proprieiors have taken much pains to
cultivate. The Gazette thereupon very justly re-
marks.
Could the history of the daring burglars, who
have recently spread much terror throughout
this village, be traced, it would disclose the I'M
doubted fact that they commenced their lives of
crime by fruit stealing. They that steal fruit will
steal money-and in process of time, become
mighty burglars, robbers and murderers 1t is just
as certain, as that habitua tasters of strong drinks
will become drunkards.

out the entire State of Ohio, and all other States
that have not yet adopted and put 10 force the
.lfaine Liquor Law. The name should be accom-
panied with large plate, correctly representing
the several scenes, therein mentioned.
1st. The poor husband lying in corner of
the room drunk, and almost senseless.
2nd. The lady with the club in her hand, de-
molishing the decanters, glasses, &c.
3rd. The fend in human shape attacking the
lady.
4th. The club in tiae hand of the lady wielded
with unerring skill mt the suft head of the frantic
keeper, and he with distorted countenance falling
to the floor with the word murder in his mouth.
9Th. The hasy fleeing of the three or four in
ebriates from the place of danger.
9th. The lady standing in the door, having full
possession of the groggery, and exclaiming in tri

Ly ,cish there aeds hundrd times as much more to
destroy. gladly soouid / do it,"
Let all the drunkard's wives in Ohio enact and
force the law in similar manner, and there
would go up shout of appreciation from many
thousands male aud female, throughout the State.
Then whether the Legislature should enact the
law or not, it would be ENFORCED to good purpose,
and the earth would receive, and conceal large
drnughts of the accursed poison.
If there were any cases in which it is proper to
destroy property and life in self defence, it
| would seem that when the comfort, and the lives
of many families are threatened and destroyed, by
single individual, then is the time to raise the
club of exrerminaton. and to deal the blows OF
destruction all around.
1t is probable every seller does far more tn
jury to his fellow men, than he could do. by know
ingy and wilfully destroying the property of large
! and populous city In that case he would find
plenty Of constitutional laws, which would efectu-
| ally prevent his repeating the outrage a second
| time. His name would go down TO posterity as
one of the greatest villains that trod the EARTH
Why then should the n,ammon ruul-selier, (who is
in reality the greater villain of the two escape
penal law which would prevent not only the dis
tructon of property, but of the lives and souls o
untold numbers of his fellow beings, who must ex-
| ist forever
| All those who shall be opposed to tho enactment
of the Maine Liquor Law or shall do any thing tc
prevent it, may justly be considered as dccompi
ces in this dreadful work of destruction. Let al
wise and good men and women be aroused to amme'
dafe and right action, upon the subject and victo
ry over the enemy will follow.

Mr.. EDlToR:-I have long remained silent
spectator of the action of the people in reference
to temperance until it has arrived at that point
when no freeman can hold his peace To see the
people rise in their majesty. and without dissen
ting voice. say that rumseing shall no longer exist
fcouLd produce feeling not easily described
That legislation is the only efectual means of erad-
icating this evil from land, there can be no
doubt. But this is opposed by some who have fol-
lowed their party for years, through right and
wrong, agreeing with the leaders of their party in
their various opinions and prejudices, frequently
voting for an officer without knowing his princi-
ciples or even reading the platform of resolutions
which he proffers to support. 1t is such who are
now beginning to fear that an effort of this sort
may prove destructive to their party organizations.
We would ask such. how this movement could af-
feet either of the great political bodies which are
now forming themselves into compact for the ac
compIishment of the great object for which time,
labor and money have been spent almost in vain.-
They answer, that they cannot, in conscience vote
(no matter in what cause) aoh, and for. those who
have plainly declared by their words and actious
| that they were in favor Of slavery the sum of all
Vlainy. pretty pretex. by which those who
pretend to possess the spirit of seventy-sx are to
eVade doing justice to themselves, their neighbors
ano tner country. This act would give an mpe-
Jus 10 tne car OF humanity, for there now thou
sanos OF drunkards in our State who cast in their
Vo'es while under the influence Of liquors but being
MADE men again by law, they, in the light of sober
reason, will aid in the advancement of freedom and
thus all the ends for which the patriot now labors
will be accomplished. Fear not then. The crv
