Letter from North East.

MIR. EDIToR-Dear Sir:-If not impos-
ing upon your valuable time and space, we
will give you few lines for your inspec-
ton and publication, if you deem them
worthy Of room.
There must either be an improvement or
an unimprovement in the rum traffic in
North East, as they frequently have two
signs out, one on the pole, and one lying
on the porch. Perhaps the success of the
business require tive Or more signs. A
young man, now resident of this place,
on Saturday, 9th ult., imbibed two freely
of mine hosts whisky, which, according to
the nature of the article, made him very
strong and courageous, (some say crazy he
becoming very much enraged commenced
tearing down the porch railing. When
interferred with by some of his friends, the
Infatuated creature entered the house and
struck the looking glass and clock with
his fist, crushing them to atoms, and injur-
ing his hand severely, which was promptly
fixed up by the physician. Finally the
Town Bailiff undertook to quiet him, but
being small in stature, was soon brought
to the ground, and only for immediate
assistance no doubt would have been badly
hurt. The Bailiff in return snapped his
pistol at his antagonist, but it not being
generally known whether charged or not it
proved harmless.
We would advise North End to have
mine hosts whisky analized at once, and
ascertain if it contains any poisonous drugs
and have him get some '.first class whisky"
same as he wrote about last winter-that
won't make men crazy.
We have used our influence, both by pre-
cept and practice, to show the evil of rum
in our community. Yet we have some
respectable free-holders, who would
even dare to sign the petition for the sale
of the greatest evil ON earth, in our midst.
only for those names our little Borough
would have resumed it's former quiet it had
when prohibition ruled. 1t is no more
than right for these men to be held morally
responsible for the actions of all drunken
men in our village; such as fighting, pro-
family, Safeguarding, and all manner of
vice instilled in the minds of the youth
that see and hear it.
Who knows but they have opened up a
highway for their own offspring to the
drunkard's grave, aims house, penitentiary
or the gallows? There is no knowing if
they will be their children or their neigh
boris. Just think Of the responsibility
they have brought upon themselves, their
bad example may follow them for gener-
atoms to come.

upright is to depart from evil and why is

"a beginner sends us the following lines.
They arc clever for first attempts.
On the Dead.

Beneath the weeping willow,
Where the flowers bud and bloom,
There lie the silent sleepers
In the cold and lonely tomb;
But the marbles are erected,
And on them is inscribed,
"In memory" of the loved ones
/ carressed when by my side.
But now I'm very lonely,
Those whom | loved have gone;
l never will forget them,
Nor their sweet and merry songs.
The songs they sang when by me,
Soothed my aching head.
But now Pm lost without them,
For they sleep among the dead.
The grave, it holds their bodies,
But their happy spirits are gone
To join the holy angels,
In bright and heavenly homo.

MoUNpsvILLE PENITENTIARY. - Col
w. B. Curtis, Superintendent of the
West Virginia Penitentiary, has ouI
thanks for copy of the Annual Report
of the Directors of the Penitentiary
for the year 1870. From it we learn
that the total number of prisoners in
the institution on the 3lst day of De
cember, 1870, was ia. OF these
Berkeley county had I; Boone, 4
Clay, l Cabell, 8; Gilmer, A.. Green
brier, 8; Harrison, 2; Jackson, 5; JEFF
ferson, 5; Kanawha, 10; Marion, 81
Marshall, 2; Mason, 3; Monongahela,
|; Monroe, 4 Ohio, 10; Pendleton, 3;
Putnam, |; Preston, 5; Pocahontas,
/; Raleigh, 2; Richie, 3; Wetzel, 5;
Wood, 7. At the beginning of the
year 1870 there were 81 convicts in the
penitentiary; 81 were received during
the year, II were discharged, 6 were
pardoned, who escaped in 1869 was
recaptured, and 2 died.
The Superintendent says that, if the
wall is not completed within year or
two, a new stockade must be built, for
the present one is very insecure and un
safe.
E. A. Hildreth, Treasurer, reports a
cash balance on hand of $Sl.l6. Not
much to run a penitentiary on.
The Superintendent further says;
"When ] entered upon my duty as
executive officer of the institution, on
the 10th day of March last, there were
fi,y-six cells completed. We have
since had the doors made and hung on
fifty-six more, thus completing the sec,
ond tier OF cells, which work has all
been done by convict labor We also
had made during the summer about
800 900 brick, which was also done by
convict labor, with the exception Of one
man employed to superintend the set
ting and burning, thereby furnishing
brick to the State at about 81 80 pei
thousand, exclusive Of the convict labor
This alone has saved the State, at the
price it had formerly paid, be-
tween six and seven thousand dol
lars. On account of this and the
large amount of work done by the con
victs on the Warden's building, (Which
will be fully shown in your report the
receipts therefore from the various
shops will appear small; but had there
been strict account kept Of the amount
of work done by convicts upon the
erection OF the buildings, | am satisfied
their earnings have far exceeded the en-
tire expenses Of the institution, eXclu
sive OF the appropriation for building
purposes. l have, according to your
instructions, contracted for the material
to complete the cell building, and VT
are proceeding with the work as rapidly
as the weather will permit. The door:
are now well under way, and we are a
work on the stone work OF the last story
and expect to have it fully completed
by the first day of April, 1871. There
will then be two hundred and twenty,
tour cells completed, which will, | pre-
sumo, be ample accommodations for all
the convicts the State may have for the
next ten years.

wondered on Tuesday, when the fire
was burning, that there was no alarm
given from the Hope Hose house. We
learned, Yesterday, that some one, to
prevent an alarm being given, had cut
the bell rope off even with the ceiling
above the stairs. The large door had
been broken open, board forced off OF
the petition so that the stairs could be
reached, and the rope cut. A new one
was put on Yesterday.
