nence from theus Of Intoxicating drinks
as a beverage, and the ordinary means
OF enforcing this principle, our Temper
ance orders ? May this question be
carefully and prayerfully pondered by
your conscientious readers.
We are hopeful that the attention of
our Legislators is being aroused to the
Importance of more stringent laws in
regard to licensing drinking houses.
The Bill in reference to the manuiac-
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors in
the District of Columbia and the Terri
tories has been brought into the United
States Senate. 1t is similar to the law
in Ohio and other Western States. The
bill prohibits the sale of liquors to be
drank on the premises; sale of liquors to
minors, or intoxicated persons; shutting
up and abating as public nuisances all
bar-rooms, taverns, eating houses, Gel
lars, or other places where liquor is sold
to be drank on the premises, imposing
fine of S. on all persons found drunk,
and compelling the vendor to pay a
reasonable compensation to any person
who may take the charge of and pro-
vide for such intoxicated person, and
one dollar per day in addition thereto
for every day such intoxicated person
shall be kept in consequence of such in
toxication; also giving the wife, child,
parent, guardian or employer right of
action for all damages actually sustained
as well as exemplary damages, suit to
be brought in United States courts. The
penalties are fines of $50 to 800, and
Imprisonment 20 to so days, and costs.
We feel exceedingly anxious that the
Virginia Legislature should do some
thing in the same way. AS for such
laws not being wanted, the increase in
drunkenness and crime occasioned by it
is proof the other way. AS for the I'M
possibility of enforcing the laws, we
have just read that Mrs. Priestly, of
Davenport, Iowa, recently brought suit
against Joseph HERB for damages for
selling liquor to her husband The jury
gave her verdict Of $4,000. HERB s
counsel moved for new trial, but the
matter was compromised by Mrs. Priest
ly accepting house, valued at $500,
and HERB paying the cost of the suit.
The success of the suit has encouraged
the cause of temperance in Iowa The
president of the Peoples Temperance
Association of that State warns all per-
Sons that the society intend to prosecute
all such cases. not only against the IL
quor vendor, but the landlord, of the
premises where it is sold. We must
have better laws than those we now
have. Drunkards, as a general rule
are made, by drinking houses. They
are not needed; they are disgrace to
community; tn y are an outrage upon
civilization Can they not be closed e?

ing the heart to grow up with weeds.
The Institution is now in prosperous
condition, more students being in atten-
dance, than at any previous session, and
will catalogue about one hundred and
sixty, representing fourteen States.
The students are now enjoying their
Christmas vacation, which will termi-
nate the second of January. Many
made it an occasion of returning to their
homes. Those that remained were kind
ly remembered by their friends, who
sent them boxes well-flled with good
things, and which proved effectual in
dispelling nostalgia, disease which
sometimes prevails among College boys.
The holiday season, SO far, has passed
off quietly. The frivolities engaged in,
by most country towns, were not in
dulged here to any great extent.
When this communication reaches
you the year eighteen hundred and sew

months ago. Hoping that you have
had pleasant Christmas, and that thu

For the Regisfe,

Mr.. Editor-Do you Sc. how the
new liquor laws are working in the west
which are so popular there They
work in this way. For example, a me-
chanic gets drunk and his wife comes
upon the keeper of the Saloon" and
gets support for the family.
Another man loses his life by liquor,
and the wift,as in the late case in Iowa,
RECEIVERS the probable value of his labor
for the time which it was guaged he
would otherwise have lived. Another
goes home mad with liquor, kicks over
the stove and burns up the house. The
madam is sure to come down for the
money and sure to get it, for the law,
the court, public opinion, truth and JUS.
tice are all on her side.
Things seem to be getting right by
DEGREES. u.
