They are now filling useful aud responsible stations as heads of families, and as citizens among their fellow men. The percentsgs of cures for the present year cannot with propriety be calculated upon the number of cases admitted, because many of them have only been received within the last two rastU'ns, since the completion of an additional ward, eud there has not yet been time enough allowed to effect a care with any of the large iBmbrr just admitted, nor has the Institution been in operation for the full period of a year. One mouth more wi!I, I trust, add several interesting cases to our list of recoveries. When the Institution was first opened many cases were crowded in for whom there waa no hope of recovery. Many of them were taken from county jsiis and other receptacles of various inos, where they had been confined, not for -.ny crime but f?, y'j fr fe keeping. early all of were propOiirt.hjects for Hospital esre, thoagh discouraging ruses i; conse

with his own penknife. The Secretary of War, during a part of Mr. Madison's presidency, and several of the "Granny Generals," as they were familiary called, under him. w-ere frequently sr-en in a state of intoxication. A statesman from Georgia, who once held a place in our national cabinet, and who was a candidate for the presidential chair, had the same fault: 10 such an extent that lie could not write his name. A senator in Congress from New York who had been Governor of the Empire State, and who died suddenly, was accustomed to drink in Washington two quart af hiandy for his per dinn allowance; yet he could speak rationally and walk straight, wlien his face was like the sun turned to blood. Another gentlgmnn who had been Gorernor ofihe State of New York, of the most amiable manners and generally beloved, while Vice President of the United States was eo often intoxicated that he disgraced himself and the Senata while presiding over that august body. During rcveral sessions of Congress ho was ah-
sent most of ihe time, while a President pro tempore occupied his seal in the Capitol, lie died pernnturely from inebriation. Three of the Senators in Congress from Pennsylvania we know to hac been drunkards. One of them had been the chief magistrate of the commonwealth; and
anotIn-r of ihcm anticipated the nomination of his party, to that high office, but failing 10 receive it. soon killed Himself with alcohol. A third still lives, and has been seen hy tlie boys to crawl like a tortoise from the hack nnd the curb stone to the door of his. hoarding-house, while the young iiidiins exclaimed, tTheres the drunken Senator from Pennsylvania." lie is so heavy :. m:in,that a slender companion and a half tipsy conchmnn could not sustain him on his feet, while mm ing oier the breadih of ihe pavement. We have heard a distinguished Senator say on Capitol Hill, that he never introduced a measure 111v.il he Ii:k1 resotrd on it twice once while drunken and once while sober. r One who Jiad very ably filled the Vice President's chair in the Senate, not iong
since, and who was the learned jurist, the accomplished scholar, the friend of ho inanity, and the defender of Christianity, fell a victim in the prime of litif. to the free use of inebriating beverages.
