wIYg-BEATINa WHISKY. - The tax on
whisky must have caused very serious adult
teration Of the stuff IL we may Judge OF re-
cent effects produced in this locality. The
old style of adulteratiop, although 1t caused
towdyism, riot and disorderly conduct, rarely
made wife-beatins epidemic. Most Of the
causes that have occurred iii times past orlgl-
mated in JEALOUSY, and frequently man aud
wife were equally at fault. Within few
weeks past a number of cases have been
reported to the police, produced by nothing
else but whisky. Husbands and wives who for
years have lived happily together, and In COM
Portable circumstances. have fallen out aud
the wives have been beaten, children NAL
treated, and In some cases prompt separations
have resulted. Wife-beatlng is a disgraceful
amusement under any circumstances. In the
minds OF some, Jealousy, for which there Is
reason, will excuse the act, but the great ms
Jority OF thinking men condemn 1t then; and
al will agree that drunkenness Is never q JUS
tihcation but always an aggravation. Many
cases have never been brought to trial. Some
parties have been iued, others have been sent
to prison, and others gave security to keep the
peace. We hope the adulteration of tho stuif
will cease from the use Of the Ingredient that
produces wife-beating.

VERY SUsPICIoUs.-Yesterday morning at
an early hour, two youngsters about IS years
Of age went to a secondhand clothing store
and offered for sale lot Of clothing that was
evidently just taken from clothes line. The
proprietor tried to detain them and sent for
an officer. Oficer whitemore arrived In time
to secure one, but the other got a sight of the
officer and left In haste, The one captured
gave his name as William Brown, and said he
bought the clothes from the one that escaped.
His account OF himself was very unsatisfac-
tory, and left the impression upon the minds
OF all who heard It that he Is an itinerant
taking In washing. He was ordered to give
bonds for his fusure good behavior and was
sent to the workhouse, in default, by Justice
Tucker.
