:3-tvn Your: EAENiNGS.—-The 'p:'a.ctiCe
which apprentices, clerks, and others
have, of spending their money as faFt 35
they accumulate, is one great reason why
so many never obtain a position above :1
mediocrity in life. A person who re-
ceives but a small compensation for his
services, will, with a little care over his
.3;.;(;11¢-miter, and a system of regularity in
his expeirditiires, finds that at the end of
the yer-.r he is prepared to encounter any
emergency or mishap. But as :1 general
thing they manage to get rid of their
eaihitfsgs quite as quick as they are due,
thus l-..F.‘."illg them wholly unprepflrefil f0f
any emergencies, or otherwise. A 5Y5’
em of curtailing unnecessry expense, if
adopted by our younger f3lks,would bring
around the most happy and gfatllylllg
results, and be the means of raising to em-
inenc and standing in society, many who
have now contracted the habit of parting
with their earnings so readily and foolish-
ly‘—for, the habit of keeping constantly
in debt, begets indifference and dissipa.
tion, a lack of self—respect, and an utter
disregard for future prospects. The real
cause of a great deal of crime is traced
to the habit of a foolish expenditure of
money in earlier days.——-Alb. T7‘a?z.s‘.
Coming to itat Last.
The New York Herald, which has ridiculed
and derided the Maine Law, as much or more
than any other paper in the count-ry,.makcs the
following frank avowal :
Progress of c7'2777ze in New Yo.<./’:.——
The November calendar in the Court of
Oyer,and Termiuer presents a frightful
record of the increase of crime in this
city. There are no less than twelve
murder cases inscribed upon it, invc 1'-
ing the life or death of eighteen pt‘-1'50"-“.
t.0:say nothing of the number of minor
offences for which prisoners are awning
trial- The principle primary cause ofall
this crime is bad brandy. The brandy
manufactured and dispensed here pois-
oned stuff. Thirty years ago men used
to get drunk night after night with the
utmost safety on b'andy, and they could
always rise next morning with ‘perfectly
sober heads, from the simple fact that the
brandy and other liquors at that time
were good. But at the present. day.
when any people, high, or low, rich or
poor, indulge in any kind of spiritousliq-
uors, they get disease and delvlrium tre-
mens, and become mad, infuriated, and
imbruted. The reason of it is that all
the liquors sold here uow——brandy, rum,
w1,i51;ey,and every other kind—are adul-
terated with poisonous stuff. Really,wc
are inclined to think that the Maine Law
would do some good after all, in putting
:1 stop to the entire commerce in such
horrible beverages. It is worth while to
make the experiment.

pers said he had left them at home.——

And more especially so, when We rcmc.m-

we read in history, where the Carthage-
nians imrnolated their noblest sons by
hec-atombs, to propitiate the favor of
their Gods. How much more terrible is
it to see with our own eyes, the noblest
sons and daughters of Amcriczt immo'la-
ted by thousands, not upon the altar of
the Gods, but to glut an infernal ap-
petite for Rum. W/fiat Antiquity and
Paganism so darkly fore-shadowed, and
typified, Christendom has more than re-

Startle not again kind reader, at the
horrors, which history unfolds, as per-
taining to the darkest period of the past,
unless thou has :1 heart to feel, as well as

The history of intemperance in the

They are (Z1/‘owned, and murdered, and
drank up, in the costly potations of this
rum-guzzling age. When u brewer falls
into a boiling vat of two hundred barrels
of beer, and is drowned, as was the case
the other day in New York, a “l2.orr2'cZ
z'7zcz7dc7zt,” heads this piece of intelligence
in the city papers. How much more
horrid is it, when the man is killed by
pouring the burning fluid down his throat
and being burned inside, instead of out-
side.
The punishment for Iferetzcs, by pou-
ring mo-ulten lead into their ears and
mouth is surely dreadful. But this has
its mitigation in the fact of its being a
forced operation. But the voluntary
drinking of " liquid-fire,” and “distilled
damnation,” this transcends in horror.——

of Northville, New Milford, was found
dead in a cave on the moumains near
that place, last week. The deceased,
says the Litchfield Enquirer, was among
the first ofthe California adventurers, and
returned with some $50,000 . he again
visited the land of gold, where he lost
his property, and since his arrival home,
a year since, has appeared rather depres-
sed in spirits. He had beeuabsent from
his boarding place about two weeks,
when search was made and his body found
as above. A r evolvcr was by his
side with one barrel empty, the cliargc
having passed through his head. His
age was about 27.

The Great Republic cost, it strict, about,
$300,000, and was insured in various ma.
riuc offices for about $180,000. The val-
ue of the cargo was estimated at $300,000,
on this freight insurance had been affected
for about $275,000. The various min-inc
offices of i\.'eW York, had full lines, either
on the ship or cargo.
A most praisewoz thy duty was performed
by the Union Ferry Company’s boats du-
ring the night. The two night. boats on
the Fulton ferry were taken from the
routes and ordered to assist in towing ves-
sels out into the stream by which two ships
at lcast were saved from destruction. The
operations of’ the ferry were thus. stopped
for about two hours.
Several vessela escaped destruction by
slipping their cables and <i2‘:1\.vin,;;_- out into
the stream.
A general alarm was rung during the
fire, and the whole fire dcpartmcnt- turned
out. The:-e W218 also 3. large 'f'orc.r>. of po-

The Whole of Front street, in the neigh-

the streets with cindcrs.
The houses on South street were in im-
miuent danger, and many of them were
considerably sccrchc(l. The wind blew it
perfect gale during the three hours that the
fire raged.
Tm: C.~'fLORlt',‘ Smv..——It is now said
that the newly invented caloric ship Erics-
son will soon “astonish the natives.” Du-
ring the t-en months that have elapsed since
the E1-icsson made her last trip, she has been
undergoing extensive alterations, the en-
gines haviug been taken out and new ones
put in their place, of an improved construc-
tion, but embodying the same principle as
the old ones, and she will be ready for a
trial trip some time this week. Mr. K.ii‘ch—
on, the principal owner, is confident of her
success and is as zealous as ever in support
of the invention. We learn that experi-
ments {lll'e{lLl_V show that the desired
amount: ofpressure may be easily obtained,
and full reliance is bad that the ship will at-
tain a speed equal to at least nine miles an
hour, which will be :1 rate entirely .satisf‘:zc-

Tun BELL Rune nv THE SEA.——ID
Southampton dock there are three patent
bell bouys,which the Mexican Government
have ordered for a part of the coast in the
Gulfof Mexico. They are enormous bouys
with lztrge bells, and their use is in thick
and foggy weather when the bouys can-
not be seen. The surging of the waves
causes the bells to ring, which give infor-
mation of the locality of the bouya. The

havoc which is described to have taken
place, shows that the vessels on both sides
were fought with great gallantry. The
Russians had, by their own account, a vast
superiority of force, and the Turkish com-
tnunder (Osman Bay) only surrendered at
the very last extremity.
All Europe is in excitement at this des-
pemt-c disaster to the brave Turks, and the
opinion is, that a general European War
can no longer be avoided, with honor.——

Admiral Slade, the English commander of
the main division of the Turkish Fleet, is
also party-giving and at anchor in the Bos-

could not find the enemy, altliutigli mer-

Some of the papers demand that he shall be

The Turks continue to gain advantages
on land, in Asia. On the line of the Dan-
ube, there are no movements. A private
despatch mentions that the Turks have ob-
tained some important advantages over the
Ilussians, in the neighborhood of Tcglis.

The most atrocious murder which has ever
been perpetrated in this county. was committed
on .\londa.y evening. the 26th ult-., in the town
of‘ Fairfield, (Greenfield Parish.) by one Rior-
ris Nichols, a. colored man, who shot Ebenezer
Goodsell, a white resident: of that town. The
circumstances as narmlctl to us by one who
resides but a short distance from the cold blood-
ed homicide, are those. The brother of Good-
scll is the keeper of a. low groggcry at which
the above named parties with others were as-
sembled on Monday, drinking and rattling; for
cltickens, when an altercation took place be-
tween the negro Nichols and Goodsell, the lat-
tcr, slapping the former in the face, fvc. But
this difiiculty was soon apparently settled and
a. friendly feeling restored between the be-
ligerants. About 3 o'clock, P. _\l., they left.
the store in company with each other, Gooxlsell
stopping‘ on arriving at his house, while the
negro passed on to his, some half a. mile be-
yond. Just at dusk Goodsell went out to cut-
somc woodin front of his door when he obser-
ved Nichols coming towards him in company
with his brother, both having their coats oil
and under their arms. On coming up to Good
sell, the brother of Nichols steps forward. and
in a menacing tone remarked that if he had
been in the place of his brother i\Iorris_. be (G)
would not have come oil‘ so easy at the store,
when Goodsell rctorted, that was none of his
business and wished to know what he wanted
to do about it. Thcbrothcr then made a pass
at Goodscll with his fist. in which he held a
stone. G. inxniugcd to ward of?‘ the blow, and
attempted to retreat when Bforris called his
brother back reniarking that he "‘ would settle
his bash for 117,111,” and going up to his will
which he had lain down upon a log, drew out a
rifle barrcllcd pistol carrying it half ounce hull
and cooly stepping up to Goodscll, placed the
muzzle to his b1'east. reinarking “ d--—n _von_.
take that.” and fired. T he ball passed entire-
ly through Goodsc11‘s body and spinal column,
on the borders of Armenia. The turks
left 4000 slain on the field.
Another dispatch from Vienna, dated
Dec. 1-ilth, (noon) says 2-—
Advices from Odessa state that the
Russians defeated the Turks at Agur, in
the Caucasus, and got possession of their

prevailed. A Grand Divan was held, at
which all foreign ministers were pres-
ent. The English and French Ambassa-
dors were urged to despatcl: the combi-
ned fleets into the Black Sea, but they
had an audience of the Sultan, at which
it was resolved not to send the whole
fleets at once, but four frigatcs, to obtain
more precise information. There was,
however, no doubt that the whole fleets
would shortly enter the Black Sea.
