Mr.. j. G. Harwell. correspondent
Of the Louisville Courier, writing from
Nashville, Tenn, gives the following
penitentiary facts. Iheyspeak trump
cd-tongued for the Maine law:
There are two hundred and forty
convicts; thirty-eight were temperate
before sentence, and two hundred and
two incorporate; one hundred and
twcnty-seyen were drunk when they
committed crime. Forty-three had
fathers who were temperate; tho faith
ers Of one hundred and twenty-five
we're Incorporate; and Of seventy-twc
common drunkards. If the statistics
OF every penitentiary in the Union, in
this matter, were known, what a COM
mentary il would be upon the license
system?
Rev. r. G. Crawford, Of Battl,
Creek. Michigan; writes thus TO the
North Western Advocate:
The Maine law is working admira,
bly, in this region. There is not ar
open grogshop in Battle Creek. ant
our streets are as free from drunken
rowdies as was Egypt from flies after
Moses went out from Pharaoh. and en-
treated the Lord that they might b
