:" jackson A. Vail, Esq, of Montpelier, has
)een sent, as We learn, to the Lunatic ASYLUM
" Concord, N. ii. He ought to have been
mere some time since, as he is really an insane
50, however, by drinking Rum,
I'm, &c. The evil might have been prevented,
i the leading Churches and men of Montpelier
iad given their influence as they ought to have
lone, to break up and put down the Liquor
iralnc IN the town, but they have not done so.
hey haVe allowed it to go on, and now the
'ax, payers OF the town must support Mr.. Vail
ina pay the entire expense of keeping him at
The Asylum, We know not how long"
We can readily imagine why the Repository
EDITOR meets with 50 poor success In his advo-
oacy of the Temperance CAUSE Success will
attend any such wholesale abuse of the
leading Churches - as the above. A much
better way is to use calm persuasion instead of
abuse When talking, and legal measures when
that fails. Temperance in all things" The
Repository is Unlversalist, and the leading
Churches are not. But, by-the-way how do
you reconcile tho allusion to Gods judgment
in the remainder of the same article with Uni
Gle will, undoubtedly cost the town thou
sands of dollars, in addition to all the ruin,
shame, disgrace and wo which his past course
of conduct has produced to himself, TO his fam
lily and friends. We pity them and him. But,
there is God that judgeth in the earth and
: the way of the transgressor, must be, neces-
sarily, under his righteous government, "a hard
way"
HUMBUGs.-The number of huinbugs is in
creasing. We are almost daily in the receipt
of requests to insert advertisements, &C., &C.,
for the good of the public, and giving their
own name as " Rev." So and So, and referring
us to the religious papers of the city, which
are but base impositions and humbugs We
suggest to some papers in whose columns are
these advertisements, that if they would just
call on the reference given, they would be saved
some hard feeling about the time their bills fall
due. Rev. E. a. Wilson of Williamsburgh, l..
l., is one of these.
SPLENDID CHANCE FOR GIRLs.-The latest in
t~elligence from Victoria contains Il statistical
return of no little interest to ladies. By the
last returns of the Registrar General of the
colony, we perceive that the numerical prepon-
derance of men over women amounted to the
astounded sum of 1874 900 In a population of
40, 900. In other words, there were emily
about 1853 900 women to 800, coo men, and this
prportion was becoming even more uuiavorable,
as the gold-felds still acted as Il magnet to the
adult male laborer of the world. Now these
l34 900 unhappy bachelors consist mainly of
men earning nearly the best wages in the
World. An acre of land can be purchased for
2s., and what more obvious to the well paid
workman than tho only things necessary to u
reasonably amount of earthly felicity a cottage,
a garden, a wife Are statistics always unin-
~teresting to the fair readers ?-Stanstard &C.
