STARTLING STATEMENT.-A DIR. Freeman
of New YORK, states that almost one quarter
of the children of that city die of hereditary
inebriety. To remedy this he recommends
the erection of an asylum Tor inebriates We
think the only remedy will be found in shut
ting up all the greg shops, and emptying the
poison into the Hudson. If there is any Ii.
quor to be had the New Workers will get it.

FIRE IN WoRcEsTER.-The first FIRE with
which our city has been visited for nearly a
year and half, occurred yesterday morning at
about half past SIX o'clock, in the stone block
owned BY the Hon. Isaac Davis and the heirs of
Samuel D. Spur, corner of Main and Central
streets. The fire was first discovered in the at.
tic, and through the exertions of the fremen it
was confined to that portion of the building,
which damaged to the amodnt of about 81
900. Col. Davis is insured at the Merchants and
Farmers, in this city, and the Spur heirs at the
State Mutual, in Boston The first foor of the
block was occupied by E. P. Lowell, manufactur-
sr Of looking glass and picture frames, Putnam
& Clark, auetioneers and commission merchants,
and Samuel Parker, draper and tailor; and the
second floor was occupied by Davis & Harvey,
tailors, and S. B. I. Goddard, B. Stoddard,
and &. L. Davis, Esqs, as law offices. All of
these occupants suffered somewhat from the
hasty removal of their effects, and the stock Of
Aessrs. Putnam Clark. and Mr.. Lowell, was
considerably damaged by water. The loss of
Messrs- P. s Co. is estimated at $500, which is
covered by insurance at the Dorchester Mutual

IHE STATE LIQUoR AGENcY.-It may not
be known 70 many of our readers that one of
the acts o. the last Legislature was to provide
that the SCENTS in the several towns in the
Commonwealth for the sale of liquor under
the prohibitiye law, shall purchase their sup.
plies of the Commissioner regularly appointed
for the State. There has been great complaint
in many towns, because the agents have sold
very impure liquors. Physicians, temperance
men. and Others who find Unnecessary to pur-
chase liquors for medicinal and mechanical
purposes, want that which is pure and when
agents sell tibet which is impure, there is Just
cause for complaint. The difficulty has been
that the agents have not purchased their sup
plies of the State Comm ssiuner, but for the
sake Of purchasing little cheaper and max.
ing little more money, they have obtained
their liquors of parties who are known to
adulterate and drug. This has, of course
brought the law into disrepute even with its
original Trends, in such places. The prac-
ice, however, must now cease. The new
law referred to above, not only says that the
agents must buy of the State Commissioner
but atiixes very severe penalties if they fail to
do So They may be prosecuted as common
sellers of liquors; and the Supreme Court
has power to place an injunction upon their
business. This is right We might as we'll
have ordinary rum shops open as agencies
which sell adultcrated liquors. The prohibi-
tive liquor law, even if enforced, will be of
little avail, unless the town agents comply
strictly with the provisions which pertain to
their business. The State Commissioner is
under heavy bonds not to sell anything but
the pure article. All his employees are tenn
perance men, and there have been no COM
| paints from towns, the agents of which have
| purchased their supplies OF him. AS the pro.
hibitive law is now being enforced with new
yigor, in many parts of the Commonwealth,
there is no reason why the agencies should
not be self supporting - Traveller.

BosToN on FREEDOM OF SYSTEMATICALLY
no city IN the Union, unless we except Phila-
delphia, can present such indurate hunkerism
as Boston. The sycophantic toadying to SEN
ator Mason at the late Bunker Hill celebration
was notable development of this notable
quality. But the most remarkable instance
which it has exhibited occurred in the Board
of Aldermen on Monday. 1t will be remem-
bered that Rev. Mr.. Alger delivered the ora
ton at the late celebration OF Independence in
Boston. Now Mr.. Alger is a gentleman of
parts, possesses a mind of his own and free
tongue. So, as the spirit moved him, he said

with respectful patience.
This was plain truth, and however much
some may question the taste of its introduce

orator, as a man and an American, had right
to utter 1t but the Aldermen, ignoring uni.
Yersal usage, voted down a proposition ST
