contest that benefits the public by
reducing theirratcs of through freight
to forty cents per hundred pounds,
or eight dollars per ton, the reduction
averaging about hundred and fifty
per cent. on the rates previously
charged. The longer this contest
lasts the better. The Pennsylvania
Central has also reduced its rates corr

great safeguard against extortion.-
Keep the competing lines separated

TIE GREAT GERMAN ExoDUs.-The

Uered the Irish two to one, and the
same proportion holds good to the
present time. The latter immigrants
arc for the most patt self depended,
and bring with them means and edu-
cation sufficient for fair start in this
side of the world The great exodus,
especially from the North German
Confederation, at this time, is attri-
buted partly to the political changes
which Prussian supremacy has made
necessary, and partly, to unusual and
excessive taxation. The facilities of
iered to all foreigners TO acquire the
rights and privileges of citizenship
are causing a constant and percepti>
bic change in the character Of our pop
ulation. In is a cheering sign that in
their political affiliations, the great
body of thoughtful and intelligent
foreigners are drifting more and
more to the party of progress and
freedom.

THE HERALD.
Drunkenness in England and France.

A London paper makes compari-
son between England and France on
the subject of drunkenness. 1t says
that since the time OF Henri Meveger
and his Bohe mians the vice of intox
ication has made marked and deplo>
rable strides in France. The prodig
ious multiplication of beer shops,
and the systematic adulteration OF
wine, have, in Paris at least, taught
the working classes the pernicious
custom of what in England is termed
q boozing" A French sot was form
erly monstrosity the manners of
the later day have made the type of
the topper common one Moreover,
the mania-it is nothing less than
mania-for the Supplying aud nau-
ceons beverage called absinthe has
made terrific inroads on the sobriety
of the population and among
workmen and soldiers in particular,
the craving falls little short of the
proportions of a pestilence.
England is not. perhaps, the most
drunken country in the world, but
very few surpass it in proncness TO
the consumption of the most besot-
ting s;imulants. There il more in.
toxication 10 be seen in the course Of
one hour in London, Dublin, Liver
pool or Glasgow, than two whole
days would disclose in any of tho
great Atlantic cities. BY their fond
ness for brandy, the Russian pcas>
antry, the Danes and the Swedes,
would horrify "A temperance lecturer /;
yet it must be owned that neither in
Russian, Denmark nor Sweden are
drinking habits productive of the
misery, the vice and the crime which
are their sure attendance in England.
The Germans drink beer from morn
ing till night, and drink fair pro-
portion of wine and ardent spirits
into the bargain nevertheless,
drunkenness is by no means u mark
ed feature in the German character.
The English paper from which we
quote these remarks adds this inQui-

surrounding races to rival it in the

On Saturday afternoon some young
ladies and gentleman, numbering "a or
%, residing in South Wheeling, thought
that they wonld enjoy themselves in 3
small skating party before the ice was
oil gone. On the river at the head OF
Caldwell's run, was the place chosen
for their sports. But the ice was some
distance fram the shore so that it was
necessary to use a plank in order to
reach il. After all Of them had sue
ce.ded in getting on and were enjoying
themselves most, the ice commenced
breaking and movingaway. They were
greatly alarmed at this, and in the con-
fusion of trying to reach the shsrs by
the plank some Eve or six ladies and
gentlemen fell in the water, AID it was
only with the greatest exertions that
they were rescued from the watery ele-
ments. Skating is dangerous even
where the ice is surrounded by land,
but is Loubly so when surrounded By
water.
