IbtTQBICATING DRItgES A CAUSE OF
CRIME.
A iIfAX had the choiCe i committing the least of
three offences—murder', robbery, or drunketinisiss.
"He chose the latter, got drunk, and then committed
the other two..
' Agreeably to a memorandum kept by . the Rev.
Or Cathcart, of York. Pa., it appears that one hun
dred', and nine murderii-were committed in ithe
Unitiid States, within the I year'lB3l. A large pro
-portion of them are eager:dad as the consequence of
an intemperate use of ardent spirit. -
Wrn. H. Boulton, of Augusta, was committed to
bail to take his trial fort stabbing Wm. Brett. his
rother-in law, while under the influence of strong
drink. They were both drunkards.
:"-larael Douglass . of Haflowell, another drunkard,
bas also been committed for an attempt to murder
his wife and children; while in a drunken frenzy.
Of 119 commitments in a year, to the state pri
son at Charlestown, Masi., it is stated by an officer
of the prison, that one hinidred at least appear to
have been occasioned by )ntempererice. •

• , Intoxicating liquor,' nays the Fifth Report of the
American Temperance Society, . exposes the chil -
dren of those who use it in an eminent degree. to
diinipation and crime. Of six hundred and ninety
children prosocuted and imprisoned fur crimes,
more than four hundred were from intemperate fa.

, Of seventeen hundred and sixty.four criminals
in different prisons in tie United States,' says the
' Fifth Report of the Ame ican Temperance Society.
, more than thirteen hundred were either intempe
rata men, or were under' the power of intoxicating
liquor, when the crimes, far which they were im
prittoned, were committed. And of forty-four mor.
