\ most unnatural outrage occurred
yesterday in genteel residence near The
Astor House tits not likely To be 1T ade
public here Ohough it ought 10 be) and
| will mention no names. The facts are
simply as iollows.-The house allude
to is occupied by a gentleman aud his
wife, and their only child, young man
about the age of Prilchard who was seni
to the State Prison the other day for
throwing pound weight at the head 'i
bar.keeper.
This family, though fieh in worldly
pelf are entirely without the "rlche,
that never die -; and the contempt OF
the parents for religion, is very manifest
in the character of their son, who is en-

which il is so pleasant TO see in children
Ills father permits him To treat him with
all the familiarity which one boy uses
towards another, aud to his mother. ian

and sa, there, a more revolving embodi-
ment of malignity and rage, than The as
tonished visitor ever before witnessed
The afflif has created great deal oi
talk. but the father will not listen to any
reflections against his son. /; is not dlih'
cult to fnresee to what an ignomlnious re-
suit such culpabTe indulgence is ineslia'

) lioious and mental discipline in his child
hood might now be an ornament TO So
ciety. |, confirms, | think, the correct
