CATHERINE MAnKEr.-In another part of to-
days paper, will be found an account Of
the business of Catherine Market, with a brief
sketch Of its history. At one period it was
considered the most important in the city,
and occupied the same position that Wash
ington Market does now. As New York,
however, increased in size. il was found to be
inadequate to its growing demands; and during
the last ten years it has declined so rapidly that
its removal has been seriously entertained by
the Common Council. It's position and limited
dimensions may be regarded as the principal
causes ofits present condition; but these are not
the only ones. Within the last twenty or thirty
years the produce trade of New York has been
attracted principally to the western side of the
city, where greater opportunities and facilities
are presented for it's more successful prosecu-
tion. Washington Market is at present the
great depot from which the various retail deal
ers throughout the city are supplied with We
getables and fruit; and it is destined to remain
so for many years to come Another cause Of
the decline of the business of Catherine Mar
ket may be found in the large num-
Der of butchers stalls which have been
established in the adjoining streets, and which,
of course, have tendency to withdraw great
deal of its custom. Yet. although it has to
contend against all these disadvantages, its
business is not SO Insignificant as might be sup
posed. The yearly sales exceed five hundred
thousand dollars. and the number of persons
employed in it is estimated at four hundred
1t is only. therefore, in comparison with Wash
ington and Fulton markets that il appears so
unimrortant.

New GARDEN, N. c. Nov. 9th, 1853.
AT an annual meeting held by the friends
Of Temperance 1T New Garden. Gulford CO.
the meeting met a, usual, DR.. S. d. Cof
fin called the house to order. S. W. West
brooks was chosen President, and j. Morris
secretary. Many present being strangers, the
President explained that the object Of the
meeting was to adopt measures or resolutions,
for the promotion Of the cause of temperance.
The president having several copies of the
resolutions adopted by our late temperance
convention, the clerk was given a copy Of
them, and the remainder were distributed
among those present. DR.. S. d. Coffin, 7,
Nicholson, W. + Etherage, J. w. Shives,
and DR.. A. S Porter were appointed as a
committee to prepare resolutions to bring be-
fore the meeting, which are as follows.
In rejecting upon the manifold evils of
Intemperaneo-physical, moral, social and
national-cvils which no pen can describe,
which no language can communicate, and
which no pencil can portray in shades dar-
ker than the truth, we are impellcd by a
feeling Of humanity to unite in measures fol
the removal Of those evils from our State
Therefore,
ResolOed, That Temperance is compare
lively the question Of the day, and lies at the
foupdalion Of all other moral reforms.
2 Resoi0ed, That temperance men can
not feel comfortable when sights and sound
are every day reminding them of that terri
bic scourge which is annually dragging hun
dredS Of our citizens 10 graves of infamy, bu
with the blessings Of Providence upon on
labors, the traffic Of strong drink shall no
much longer be suffered 10 afflct our coun
try.
3. RcsolOed, That after having done wha
We can by i diyidual effort and moral sna
sion, we ara strongly in favor Of prohibito
~ enactment by our next Legislature, sim
lar to the world wide renowned Maine Law
4th. Rssolvei, That we will not supper
any man for our Eext Legislature who is ne
pledged to Temperance, and that we will US
all laudable means to secure the election (
those who will do their utmost to effect th
enactment Of n prohibitory law.
And after being debated upon, the resol
tons were unanimously adopted.
It was then moved and seconded, that tt
proceedings Of this meeting be published

the Greensboro Message, Patriot, and ST.
in the East should copy.
Tho meeting then adjourned to meet &

We find the following estimate of the cap
ital invested and the liquors produced annu-
ally in this country, in an exchange paper:
"The capital invested in the manufacture
of malt and spicituous liquors in our coun-
try is $4,000, $4,000 We are happy to OBJ
serve that New Hampshire is not in the list
of manufacturers, not single distillery of
any kind being reported Massachusetts,
invests half million, and in New York two
millions and haf The quantities of diff
ferent grains consumed are as follows =
Barley, 3.785, 900 bushels corn, II 067 900
rye, 2,l44,000; oats, $4,000; apples, 500,
600. Total, 25,000,332 bushels of grain, fit
food for human beings-except the oats,
which arc yet used for bread in Scotland
equal to one bushel for every man, woman
and child in our country, consumed in the
manufacture of intoxicating drinks. In mo-
lasses, 6l ,675 hogsheads are used for the same
purpose, and l ,294 tons Of hops. The num-
ber of hands employed is 5,487 barrels of
ale manufactured, 1,177,924; gallons of
whisky and high wines, AZ, 1873 ,955; gallons
of rum, 6, 100000. Reckoning each barrel
of ale at 80 gallons, we have rs, s03, ,666 gal
Ions of Intoxicating liquors manufactured
every year in the United States, or three gal

A SINGULAR OCcURRENCE.-Almost ev-
cry body has listened with sadness to the
Plaintive strains and saddening words of the
old song" The Misetoe Bough," in which
the story is told Of young bride who, in
playful hunor on her wedding day, ran TO
hide from her spouse, and was found, years
afterwards, moudered to ashes in chest
with springiock But a San Francisco pa
per relates a sadder tale which occurred in
that city last month, and one which adds to
its own horror BY its reality. 1t says -
A few days since we called attention to
an advertisement Of the loss Of little Span
/ lsh girl, answering to the name of YER
tura, whose agonized mother was searching
!. throughout the city for her After looking
for her in vain for several days, and coming
to the conclusion that the child was dead,
she went to a large trunk in her house, on
Thursday, for the purpose of procuring some
mourning apparel, when upon opening it.
what was the mothers horror to see lying
there the decaved remnant of her own beau
tiful little child. The trunk had been left
. open the day the child was lost, and it i.
t supposed that the inquisitive little one, has.
ing seen the dresses inside, bad taken fan
: cy to them, and upon attempting to procure
them, had fallen into the trunk The lid
closed with spring, ana the little child died
# with suffocation. The tales Of romance fall
# far short in depicting the agony which the
J. poor mother felt upon this sad discovery
/ and the whole story is one which tent.s tC
prove the oft repeated saying, that truth i
. stranger than fiction.

The Ruinad Family.

The depopulating pestilenee that walk
eth IN noon day, the carnage of cruel and
devastating war can scarcely exhibit their
victims in a more terrible array than exter-
minating drunkenness. [ have seen
promidng family spring up from the pa
rent trunk, and stretch abroad its populous
limbs like Towering tree covered with
green and healthy foliage. | have seen the
unnatural decay beginning upon the yet
tender leaf and gnawing like worm in an
unopened bud, while they dropped off, one
by one, and the ruined shaft stood alone,
until the winds and rains of many sor-
row laid that too in the dust On one of
those holy days when the patriarch, rich in
virtue and years, gathered about him the
great and little ones of the flock, his sons
and daughters, too sat at the board [
pledged their health and expatiated with
delight upon the eventful future, while the
good old man warmed in the genial glow of
youthful enthusiasm, wiped tear from his
eyes. He was happy. [ met them again
when the rolling year brought the festive
season around. But all were not there
The kind old man sighed as his sufused
eye dwelt upon the then unoccupied seat,
but joy yet came to his relief, and he was
happy. A parents love knows no dimiR-
ution-time, distance, poverty, shame give
but intensity and strength to that passion,
before which all others dissolve and melt
away. The board was again spread, but
the guests came not. The man cried,
where are my children p aud echo an
cuyora1 (I1ybo p H. g Al.

of drunkenness had been there. They had

ones shame. THEY ARE ALL DEAD"

PRoHIB1ToRY LAw.-We learn from the
Tennessee Baptist, thata committee was ap-
pointed at the last session of the General As
sociation of Tennessee and North Alabama,
to memorialize the Legislature of Tennessee,
praying for the prohibition ofthe Liquor traf-
fc in that State. The Editor says: "Let it
he borne in mind that the Representatives Of
10000 Baptists in Middle Tennessee and
North Alabama resolved, without dissenting
voice, to pray for the passage of a law pro-
hibting the manufacture and traffic of ar
dent spirits within the limits of the State

Baptists Of Tennessee are opposed to Temper
