D1ssIPAr1oN.-Wine bibbling and
run drinking is increasing with alarm
ing rapidity throughout the country.
Young men, of fair intellect, in good
standing in society; who have been
well educated, and started in life I'M
der very favorable auspices, are daily
seen treading the downward path, to-
ward crime, degradation, and perhaps
an inebriate's DEATH. But few Of the
mournful wrecks that are daily seer
pcrambulating the streets, scarcely
able to sustain themselves-mere SEM
dances of men-were not promising
young men but a few years ago. The
prevalence of dissipation is truly
alarming, and to one who takes special
notice, appalling. Scarcely a day
passes but that some n is seen reel
ing, and staggering along, scarcely
able to keep on the sidewalk, and of
ten times unable to walk without the
aid of 4 friend. Night is the favorite
time for beer and RUM drinking. At
ter business hours, when the business
and laboring man, should be at home
enjoying the comforts and peace of.
family and friends; then Fan be seen
the most disgusting spectacle. "There
he goes reeling down the street. A
thing for beasts to loath. Once, they
say, he was a handsome fellow, sweet
of voice and bright of eye-a man for
men to admire, and woman to love.
What changed him, "Rum !" "You
would not take the wretched man at
the tavern-door by the hand, and call
him friend you mightcast a penny or
notice the filthy beggar child, bat you
would scarcely caress him.. And as
for the murderer, you would shrink
from him in terror and disgust but
Rum, the cause of all, you do not
hate you open your arms to it you
praise it; you think well of it. tits
the game thing which dragged the
drunkard to the gutter, the beggar to
his corner, and the murderer to the

THANKs.- We are indebted to Hon.
Geo. B. Wright, State Commissioner
of Railroads and Telegraphs for a
handsomely bound copy of his report
on the railroads of Ohio for the year
1868. This volume contains n good
deal cfinteresting matter; and abounds
in useful statistics for every reading
and business man in Ohio. We trust
the attempt to abolish this Office, will
fail. If this officer is removed, the
people will have no one to watch over
the extortions of railroads.
