Gas Alley—This neighborhood, located in the Jhxth Ward, is the most degraded in the city—rivaling, in. fsome things, the noted Five Points of New York. Its dance-houses and g-shops are numerous, and are the scenes of bloody lights, rows, and not unfrequently murders. The families who reside there, appear to be too fond of the degrading pleasures of. the neighborhood; and drunken brawls, between man and wife, fatherand son, mother and daughter, arenot uncommon in Gas Aliev. Mothers*and fathers are often found dead drunk, and their children ragged, starved and hi thy, seen running around the streets, pilfering whatever they can lay theirhands upon.—TiI -'nti ii
