Lager Beer.

The Cincinnati Gazette of last week
gives some startling statistics in rela-
ton to the amount of this nuisance
made and sold in that city last year
It saws that 3T5, ,8183S barrels were
made there for the year ending Oct.
10th, 1871 That is the amount upon
which a Government tax was paid.
u per cent. is added to this by the
Government for leakage and beer sour
ing and becoming worthless in the
brewrer's hands. This added makes
the amount brewed in Cincinnati last
year, 400, 200 barrels-enough to con-
stitute pretty good sized lake.
The Gazette says in its editorial col
umns:
These statistics have been gathered
with labor and care, and they can be
trusted. The process Of making this
beer is also described Here Is a hev-
erage which, in the general sentiment,
is pronounced of no benefit and ol
positive harm, yet the residents and
bOtOuTueIS III lulS Guy uAauh uuIl =
the year ending October, 1874, 324
gallons, at the cost by the glass of
over six and half million dollars
This was at the rate OF more than
81 gallons for each man, woman and
child. As there is a large number oil
men women and children who do not
drink beer, or who seldom drink it, il
will be seen that the channels of a
large number who do drink regularly
must be kept in active operation.
There is a talk that lager beer is {
very mild beverage, in which there i.
very little Intoxicating property. Al
analysis which we have had made
shows six per cent. of alcohol. Sup
pose that the whisky of the drinking
places has 48 per cent. Of alcohol
which is a pretty large supposition-
it will be seen that beer contains I as
much, and that a steady succession o
mugs of beer, will in the course of f;
Sunday or an evening, supply th'
beer drinker with an amount Of alco
hol which would make hard drink
er of spirits. We commend thes
statistics to the drinkers and to tn
mOraIist.

A Remarkable Religious Move
ment.


ment.
Perhaps the most remarkable relig-
ious movement since the great Refor-
nation is now in progress in Syria
1t is no less than the conversion of
the people by thousands to Christiani-
ty. The movement began in 1868 in
a society OF Mussplmen in the vicinity
of Damascus, led by one Abdcl Marlin
Matar, who used to spend davs and
nights praying for enlightenment The
movement, according to an account
given in Roman Catholic paper, be-
gan in miraculous manner For a
long time the members of the society
were tortured by conviction that the
religion that they professed was erro-
neous, but each supposed that lie alone
was tortured. One night about forty
were together engaged in devotion,
and all fell asleep. The Christ ap.
peared in a vision to each separately,
when they all simultaneously awoke
and revealed to each other in their
fright the state of their minds and the
vision they had seen. The fear that
they would be slaughtered, il they
openly proclaimed their new born be
lief, that Christ is God, and thus be de
prived of the privilege Of working in
His cause, and the admonition that a
leader and a guide would be provided
for them. kept them silent They
were divinely led to the Monastery OF
the Terra Santa, near Damascus, and
there found their leader in the superi
or, Fray Emanuel Former. There are
said to be no less than five thousand
neophytes in Damascus alone. The
revival was extended. Villages are
offering themselves in a body for Chris
tianity, not only the poorer, but some
among the richest Moslems in tbt
country being of the number. There
is serious danger of collision be
tween the Mahammedan and the Chris
tian communities.

A Lottery Squelched.

On Monday last one Chas H. Hart
made his advent in these parts with
intent, as announced by circulars, to
open at the American House corner
what was called grand art exhibition
In connection with the exhibition"
there was to be sale of chrome pic
lures, bohemian ware, silver ware, &c,
all of which articles were to be dis
posed of at the uniform price of one
lollar each" The method of disposal
vas by means of what were called
Photographs, but which were really
|ttory tickets, contained in sealed en-
elopes, and sold at n uniform price
VI qua ter each Each purchaser Of
a photograph" drew n prize that is,
was entitled, on payment Of one dol
lar, to select any article of a certain
class, the letter number or designation
of which was printed on the back -,of
the "photograph."
Such was the scheme. Before pro-
ceeding to business, however, the pro
prietor applied for and obtained from
the acting Mayor license for his
''exhibitiOn,'" believing, no doubt, that
with such document in his pocket he
would be exempt from prosecution
under State laws for carrying on lot
terry swindIe. But unfortunately foI
Mr.. lotteryman, his little game came
to the kno wledge of the Prosecuting
Attorney who brought it to the atten
ton of the Grand Jury, who, after in
vestigsting the matter, found an in
dictment against Chas. H. Hart for
carrying on lottery scheme in viola
tion of the laws of Ohio. Mr.. Hart
was thereupon tried before Judge
Jones, fined $50 and rcprimanded 10y

this time that Mayors license viii
