No, Dealers in alcohol, if prohibited or restrained by law, will sell in spite of law, 80 long as they find customers. Ask the New England proiibitionists ana the statisticians, who have most carefully and conscientiously watched the working of prohibition, if the quantity of alcohol sold has been lessened by legal rigor ? Only recall to mind the edilying fac: Massachusetts police trials two years ago. Dealers in the dreadiul poisons sold as liquor may yield 10r a moment to the pressure of public sentiment, in certain localities, or all over the country, like forest trees bending to the atmospheric wave; but they wili recover immediately. A lew establish- ments in each city may be permanently broken up by the passing popular excitement, just as a few trees in the lorest are uprooted by the onset of the storm; but the forest will prescntiy be a forest again, and taverns and saloons will Sfourish once more @ month or two hence, despite the violence of the moral hurricane now sweeping over the country, Nay, it isto be feared that precisely because the buyers and drinkers of poisoned alconol have not been changed in soul or purvose to any extent, not only will there be no change for the etter in the jatal traMic of aduiterated hquors, but there Will be a Change jor tie worse, For in every stance where extreme 1 Ov moral violence is used without compre: i§ HOt only 1s there action’? equal and opposed to the lorce em- , but there is @ disheartening impression jeft benind as to the hopefulness o1 all relormatory movements.

In a city of this State a large proportion of tue jaborers were employed in jron foundries, &c., and it was lound practically impossible to have them abstain alto- gether irom beer or other strong drinks, During what is known as a “mission,” 1t was proposed to the entire congregation to bind themselves by some such pledge as the above, with the distinct understanding that they should strictly avoid drinking and gambling saloons and never offer nor accept any strong drink at lunerais, weddings, christenings and the like. There was no excite- meul, Ajter the plan had been Jaid beiore them full time was allowed for deliberation, and, at the next meeting the entire adult congrega- tion bound themselves publicly to abstain in tis mauner, Whue @ large number who knew their oWn iutirmity pledged themselves to abstain altogether, Within a lew days all the low grog- snops th the district had to close—their business Was gone, Moreover, a mutual benevolent society, wuose Members were ail temperance men, sprung up immediately, and such was the success of this movewent that it Spread to many other localities, and everywhere met with the approbation of all good med, To some such organization as these we must have recourse 1p the end, All the efforts of the triends of temperance must aim at effecting a like mixed reform.

In one word, the meu have to be induced thus to band themselves together under the powerlul stimulus of sell-interest, mutual example and protection and with the sanction of religion; a mi- nority will be teetotaliers, a large majority will become temperate men.

Among the passengers who left this city Saturday | evening by the 8:10 train for Springfield, Mass., | | was John Aldrich, defaulting cashier of the Adams | Express Company at Springfield, On the 10th of January last Aldrich disappeared, as did about $5,000 of the company’s money. The matter was given to the detectives, who traced the fugitive to | New York by the owl train, thence to Taylor’s | Hotel. Jersey City; thence to Washington, | thence to Richmond, thence to various cities ip the South and — including St. Augustine. Finally — Detective . AL Pinkerton got track of the thief at Pulaski, where he was | lhving in great style, society ol sporting men, He was a good shot and gained areputation as a good crocodile shot. Afier being absept irom an elegant hittie villa, where he was stopping on a four days’ bunting expedition, he was captured, ‘braceiet-ed” ant | brought back to New York. He is a tall, hand- some iellow, of about six feet in height, and a gerd sympathetic face. He is a married map, 18 wile being at Springfield. He used several aiiases, mciuding the name of “Reed.” He was traced by a photograph and a sample of his hand- writing, Which wa» compared with hote! registers. | The Adams Express Company, like the Bank of England, never make any compromise with their dishonest employés, but desire them punished with the utmost rigor of the law, Aldrich was about ten years in the employment of the company as mes- | Benger, and has uitherto enjoyed an excellent rep- utation.

Mr. George H. Nash subsequently called on the Board of Health and said he hed attended Mrs. O'Gorman, who met with an accident, possibly a& fracture of the skull, and at her death retused to ge @ certificate, as it was a case for the Coroners. ‘he parties who applied for the certificate taen elt and alterwards the woman was buried.

Mrs. Ellen French, a woman about thirty-two years of age, and her husband, Charles E. French, | formerly lived at No, 102 West Thirty-ninth street: | but they failed to live amicably, and, owing to con- tinued wrangling, French, some four months ago, | left his wife, and absented himself for two months, when he returned, in company with James B, Pullis, both being carpenters by trade and having | Worked together in the same shop, When they | returned Pullis Grst called on Mrs. French and asked for her husband, whom he had just lett down stairs, immediateiy after which the latter | appeared in the room, and they engaged in what | seemed to bea sham fight. They then leit, but in | & few minutes Pullis returned, and provoking a | quarrel with Mrs, French, as alleged, struck x in the abdomen with his fist, and, owing to her critical state of health, she was seriously injured. Pullis ran away alter inflicting the Violence, but soon French reappeared to his wile, when she declared her intention of swearing her life against Puilis, This aroused the anger of | French, who thereupon commenced an assault on | his wile, striking ber repeated blows about the | chest and abdomen, and aiming a blow at her with his foot, threatened to kick her. From the violence | inticted by both Pullis and’ her husband Mrs. | French was reduced to helplessness ahd prostrated on a bed of sickness. She was treated ‘at the resi- | dence of her mother in Thirty-ninth street, near Seventh avenue, till Monday last, when, becoming worse, Mrs. Frenche. was removed to Bellevue Hospital, and the surgeon ip attendance deems her recovery matter | of serious doubt. Such substantially is the | statement of the case as made by Mrs, French to Eaward Riley, her cousin, who is interesting him- sell in her behalf to the end that ia may be | done. Mr. Riley stated that both Pullis and French were before the Police Magistrate at Jefferson | Market a few days ago on this complaint, but by | Some means they were discharged. sae Riley culled at the District Attorney's Ofice yesterday tn relation to the matter, and Was re- ferred to Corouer Woltman, who Will fake such | action ag the case demanded, + The Coroner has taken the ante-mortem state- ment of Mrs. French at the hospital, and she deposed that her husband desired her to have an abortion produced in order that she would not be kept from her business (that of dress- maker), and lose her customers. She deciined to | do as he desired, and the assault was the result, From her statement the jury rendered a verdict against Pullis and considered her husband as an accessory before the fact. | _ Coroner Woltman issued warrants for both Pullis and Frenet SUICIDE OF A YOUNG LADY, ‘Worcester, Mass., March 8, 1874, The body of Miss Jennie Russell, who has been | missing irom her home in Lapeaster for four days, Was found this afternoon in the Nashua River, near Lancaster.
