Tug CASE OF ALLIGID COMFY IT • FA/OIL—
/it the Woolwich police-court on Wednesday the case
against • man named Callow on a charge of having
beaten and Mused his son came on for final lo.aring.
Mrs. Peplow, aunt to the boy, said, on the first oecaiion
when he ran away from his father, he paid he was ill-
treated, and when the father came to fetch him the boy
begged her not to let him go back u he would get beaten
again. Defendant's first wife, whom he was divorced
from, the mother of the boy, asked Ina not to hurt
him, but on the following Tuesday she was suprieed to
see him crying under her gate, and he beckoned two or
three times before the knew him, as he only had on an
old vent. As soon as she took him she wale the bruises
and wounds all over him, and she then sent for his
mother and Mr. Lindsey,• neighbour, who took charge
of him and washed his back, thigh., and shoulders with
• lotion. The boy was also bound with • chain, and
It was fastened with • padlock round the neck. The
prisoner called Mrs. Sarah Quatling, who said she had
known the prisoner for four years, and thought him •
good father. Mr. Patteson said he should send the
ease for trial, and the prisoner WU not bound to say
anything before them unless he liked. He replied that
he wholly denied using anything else than a birch, and
that the chain was put round his neck only, and very
loose, to prevent his running away, as he had come
home before in • filthy state. His whole study had
been to make the boy happy and comfortable, and to
give him a good eduoation and every luxury, and to do
this he had often gone • whole week with dry bread.
As to beating him with • stick it was fable, and he had
taken him from sehool where it had been tued. He
thoughts man who had done so by his child would not
i 11,,. it. He still repeated that the boy was a liar.
The aunt of the child said when the defendant was told
of the state the boy was in, he said he had intended to
beat him when he got home, though he had promised
not to, and the child's hack was not well yet. Tbs
defendant's first wife was in attendance to substantiate
this evidence, but wee not called. The defendant was
then committed for trial ; but two sureties in £4O each,
with hi. own recognisanees in £5O were accepted for
his appearance. An immenee crowd followed him
through the streete on his leaving the court, and,
although guarded by the police, he had to return to the
police-station for shelter till the mob dispersed.

SHOCKING ClBll Or CRVILTT TO a CHILD.—A revolt

Cirencester petty sessions before • full bench of magi'.
trate.. A countryman living at Cuckcrton, near
Cirencester, named George Bramble, was charged with
ill-treating his son-in-law, Henry Boulton, aged 11 years.
The primmer was prosecuted by the Cirenceater board of
guardians. The boy was carried into court and placed
on • ohair, where he sat during the hearing of the case,
and gave his evidence very nicely. The unfortunate
boy had been suffering a long time past with stone in
the bladder, and in the latter part of 1867 was sent to

months, but we. returned without any operation having
been petformed, although he was

when Mr. Hodges, 111. D., the pariah doctor, hearing of
the ease went to the plus where the boy lived, and
found him in • most awful condition. He was • mere

presented a most revolting appearance; words would
hardly deuribe it; more like the slush that runs from •
dunghill than anything elae, and the stench arising from
the Fame was quite unbearable. A sad account of the

A Sotirgg.BOY'S COMPOIITION.—Corns are of twc
kinds, vegetable and animaL Vegetable corn grow!
in rows, and animal core grows on toes. There are
several kinds of corn; there is unicorn, capricorn,
corn dodgers, field corn, and toe corn which is corn
you feel most. It is sail, I believe, that gophers like
corn, but persons having corns do not like to "go fay'
if they can help it. Corns have kernels, and some
colonels have corns. Vegetable corn grows on ear•
but animal corn grows on the feet at the other end of
jthe body. Another kind of tx-irn is acorn; these grow
on oaks but there is a hoes about the corn. The
acorn is a corn with an indefinite article, but the
corn is • very definite article indeed. Try it and
see. Many a man when he has a corn wishes it WWI
an acorn. Folks that have corns sometimes send for
a doctor, and if the doctor himself is corned, he pro-
bably won't de so well as if he isn't, The doctor says
cans are produced by tight boots and shoes, which is
probably the reason why when a mno is tight they
say he is corned. If a farmer manages well he can
get a good deal of corn on an acre, but I know of
farmer that has one oorii that makes the biggest
acher on his farm. The bigger crop of vegetable corn

ger crop of animal corn lie raises the better he doss
not like it.. Another kind of corn is corn dodger.
The way it is made is very simple, and is as follows
(that is if you want to know) :—You go along the
street and meet • man who has a corn, and a rough
character, then you step on the toe that has the earn
on it, and see if you don't have occasion t. 'odge.
