TEREsTlSG INFORMATION.
The report Of Adjutant General Latta
to Governor Hoyt, for the year ending
November 30, 1852, has been issued in
book form. 1t gives history OF tho
National Guard of the State, and pre-.
sents mass Of interesting statistics and
tabulated information. "There are now
in service. it says, "three companies Of
cavalry. three batteries o! artillery, and
one hundred and thirty. one companies
Of the infantry. The infantry are or
ganized into fifteen regiments and one
battalion two companies are unattAch.
ed. The batteries report direct to tho
division, and the cavalry is attached to
the brigades. This force aggregating
js4 commissioned officers and 1886 en-.
listed men, ia assigned proportionately
to three brigades, they constituting one
division referring to the Lewntown
encampmeni last summer, the report
says it WAS the best Of the series aud
the expenditure Of the public moneys
for such purposes was again justified.
The spring Inspections were conducted
under general directions from the de
partment. 1T is an axiom, - continues
the Adjutant General, that frequent,
intelligent and instructive inspections
mold the effectiveness and progress Of
a military education Rife practice has
been more encouraged financially this
year than previously. The First brigade
has increased the number OF qualified
marksmen, but the strength of success.
ful practice remains with the Third, the
Thirteenth regiment still retaining the
full honors OF its intelligent and skill
ful labor The report adds that the
scheme for the erection Of armories is
still meeting with encouragement. The
Third regiment is fully completed and
paid for. The corner stone OF the First
was laid on the 10th Of April. The
walls are up to the third story, and II il
confidently expected that it will be 90.

port of Brigadier General Snowden, of

Why IL Should Not be Free.

All Americans have a natural interest
in Switzerland. The people OF that
country have a glorious history, and
have maintained a free federated gov
ernment for many centuries. II is
therefore with real and pecul ar regret
that we hear of the spread of intem.

pie. II seems that in 1874 an amend.
ment to the Constitution was passed
taking from the Cantons the right to
regulate the liquor traffic in other
words. absolute freedom in the sale of
intoxicating drinks took the place Of
the old restrictions. Under the old
Cantonal requirements women were not
allowed to cell liquor. and the tavern.
keepers had to be men OF fair character.
Drunkenness has since become q ma.
tional vice. There are ten glasses OF
liquor drank now where there was one
before. As a consequence thrift ia dis.
appearing, the number OF bankruptcies
has quadrupled, and the price Of land
has fallen proportionately. So patent
