INTERESTING READING FOR THOSE Who
DRINK.-The increase of fihtemperance moi
only in this city but throughout the entire
country since the close of the war is alarm
ing, and we note it with regret. We have
never been of those who favor prohibs-
tory law regarding the sale of liquor. but
candor .compels US to say that we think a
man who cannot drink in moderation. had
better not drink at all. We are opposed to
drunkenness and sincerely wish that some
measures could be effected which would
prevent it. Nothing is more disgusting
and7a humiliating than to see a, man
entirely under the influence of liquor,
and drinking has become such common

and along the street. These youths imag-

seen half drunk; and, consequently, in
stead, like sensible boys, OF saving their
money for good purpose, they squanderii

those who drink, that as much as they may
differ with us, and think otherwise, they

was found blank book containing certain
receipts, some of which we give below.
He asserted that the receipts were worth
$500 each to him, and that all the liquors
to which they referred were actually made
in that way. The man was and is an at
tache of distillery. We wish drinkers to
see what vile stuff they are consuming, and
