RELATION OF Liquor TO CRIME.

The following facts, CLEANED from
the various reports at. hand, tell their
own story without need of addition or
comment: 1iaa' =, u ':i -. p
. In 1881 there were 69,631 criminals
arrested, of whom 81, 057 were males;
and is, were females, OF the males,
Is, 500 were arrested for intoXication,
and an additional 5, 439 for being drunk
and disorderly. OF the females, 6,851
were arrested for intoxication, and an
additional 1928 for being drunk and
disorderly, making the total number of
inebriates arrested 2S,669y uwhich is
more than two-fifths the whole number
of arrests. ael Sal
Besides the number arrested, there
were 100, 683 INDECENT persons lodged in
the station-houses; more than So per
cent. of whom were compelled to seek
lodgings there by reason, directly orr
directly, of the liquor traffic., The
males thus seeking lodgings numbered
57,905; the females, GIFTS. This is a
number equal to one-twelfth the entire
population of the city. 81
The cost of maintaining the police
force for the purpose sof attempting to
"cure )" what should be prevented -
was $280,053.
The cost of thesvariouS courts made
necessary by reason of the traffic in
liquor, in New York City alone, reached
the sum of $2,000,000,, 'fil = Asl
The. expenditure of the Department
Of Public Charities and Correction for
1879 amounted to S1,262, 618, over nine
ty per cent. Of which expense was made

The statistics of crime only show
what is forced upon the surface. Pc
licemen avoid making arrests as much
as they can, and convictions are diff

they be locked up in the House Of De-

A Fish and Snake Story.

Rife Range Lake is a celebrated re-
sort for pickerel fishermen in this
county. A party from this place were
fishing there few days ago. Toward
evening a splashing and cOmmotion
was seen in the water about a hum
bred yards from shore. A boat was
rowed out to the spot. The cause of
the disturbance was a struggle between
large pickerel and a rattlesnake. The
pickerel had the snake between its
jaws, having seized it midway between
its head and rattles. The snake was at
a great disadvantage, because the fish
was at home under the water, and the
moment the snake was pulled beneath
the surface, its power was gone. The
fight seemed to be an effort on the part
of the snake to keep its head out Of
water. and a determination on the part
of the pickerel to draw its would-be
victim under the water and drown it.
The snake was Of unusual size and was
more than the fish could carry off
! bodily. The combatants seemed to pay
no attention to the spectators in the
boat, which had been rowed to within
three feet of them. The water was
covered with blood, all of which seemed
to have been shed by the snake. When
the fishermen saw that the pickerel
would conquer the snake in short
time, one of them drew his revolver
and shot it, the ball passing through
the snakes body atthe same time. The
RATHER had evidently started to swim
across the lake, and the pickerel, not

the middle as mans wrist, and had
thirteen rattles-had seized it for his
supper The pickerel weighed five
