WH.r SHALL WE Dprsk AS

WHAT SHALL WE DRINK ?-As the
thermometer is finding its way again up
into the nineties the question we pro-
pound above Observes candid answer
We have just finished reading an arti-
Gle in a medical review on summer
drinks and have thrown the book down
satisfied that there is no drink man
can take in moderation but lager-beer.
Our reviewer protests that water
especially iced water-is as dangerous
as arsenic, and strong liquors equally
bad. What then is left for Us but beer
and "sojer water" as the boy called it.
Among the many foreign habits
which we have acquired by imitation
and inclination from cur Teutonic
brethren, the use Of lager beer is proba-
bly, the most prominent. The consump-
ton of this beverage on our continent,
according to estimates procured 10y sta
tistically inclined individuals, far ex.
ceeds, at the present day, that Of any
other artifcially prepared drink.
To Gambrinus, King OF the Flanders
is due the honor of having invented
and introduced this wholesome and
sys. em. strengthening tonic; and from
his day until the present it has steadily
acquired public favor among all classes,
and has become one OF the popular
beverages of the civilized world.
The average man will resort occa-
sionally to stimulants This has been
the case since Father Noah first in
dulged in the cup, according TO the
Scriptures, and it is likely 10 remain 50
as long as time lasts We do not in.
tend in this connection either to de-
nouncc or justify this prevailing habit
but we may be permitted TO allude to
striking contrasts between the different
kinds of beverages now in use, and in
sist that, of them all, lager beer is the
most wholesome, pleasant and invig-
Grating.
One of the prominent characteristic
of the German is his love of social en-
iovment. Our American fellow citizens
generally of q more Puritan!c turn of
mind, looked years ago with no small
degree DISBURSEMENT upon the rollick-
some practices of these foreigners
Such prsiudices have, however, long
since been laid aside, and with the daily
increasing influence Of German imml-
grafton, many. of the customs of the
Faderland have found their way across
the watery deep The intcrmingling OF
the American element with orr Trans
Atlantic fellow.citizcns, IN their different
pleasure resorts, has become a daily oc-
currence. The drinking of lager beer,
beverage in which twenty years ago
scarcely any class Of people but Ger,
mans indulged, has since become com
mon to Americans, and owing to it,
agreeable and invigorating properties,
so conducive 10 health. it is not less rel.

female ealoots fair to look upon and
wondrously pleasant to the reportorial
soul With our usual gallantry We
give the ladies the first place.
Hannah Fitzsimmon, an oldish look
ing woman, was drunk Monday night.
A husband she had who went to the
bad and so she got tight. Her eye was
in mourning, huge pimple adjoining
the end Of her nose. She drank Of
vile whisky until she get frisky, then
wanted to fight. Monday night she
was Keeling round Centre Wheeling
with child at her breast The Judge
one dollar fined her and then he
consigned her to Castle Faris for five
DAYS to rest.
Amelia johnson was charged with
having used abusive language towards
Mrs. Watson. Both parties live in
! Centre Wheeling, we believe 4 sister
of Amelias was sitting at a window
with piece of looking glass in heI
hand and threw the reflected rays OF
the sun into Mrs. Watson's face. Ont
of this grew the trouble. Mrs. John
son was fined s. and costs.
James st. Clair is q citizen certainly
biz enough to know better than TO get
drunk all over. He is so tall that he
couldn't possibly get all drunk in one
dav, nor sober either, for the matter OF
that. Despite his disadvantages in this
respect, he got so full he fell over into
Charley Lanes steps and couldn't get
up again until assisted by an officer.
He was fined the regular plain drunk
rates, 81 and costs.

Island on Saturday last, and pummelled
each other beautifully for awhile. They
were fined s. and the costs each

There was row AT John Carney +

on Saturday night, and Thomas Her

He was boiling over with it, Said he,
" Brown, can YOU, now, really tell us
the difference between grand and petit
larceny? Brown thought he could.
Well, now let us hear YOU define it.
What is the dftercncc?' and lie tipped
