CRUELTY IN THE ONO STATE Prison.
The Ohio Legislature has before it an
investigation into the conduct of Deputy
Warden Watson, of the State Prison,
who is accused of cruelty towards a
nepro prisoner whom he suspected of
stealing from him $500. On mere sus-
picion, and for the purpose of extorting
confession from the prisoner, Watson
ordered him TO be thrown into dungeon,
his bed and every rag of bed clothes
taken from him; and for sixteen days
and nights he was kept confined, without
the light of day, with the ground for his
bed. At three separate times he was
brought out by Watson, stripped to his
skin, and whipped with cat till his
back was cut to pieces, and the blood
made TO flow from his wounds. In this
condition he was put back into his dark,
damp, cold cell, without bed or par
ticle of bed clothes, to pass three days
and nights as best he could. At the end
of that time he was again taken out,
whipped as before, and this repeated for
three times, and when last put back, he
was told that he would be kept confined
and whipped every day till the expira-
ton of his sentence, if he did not con-
fess. These barbarities coming to the
knowledge of the Legislature, they have
instituted an investigation, and the re .
port establishes the facts. Notwithstand-
ing the atrocity of the transaction, efforts
are making to hush it up, and keep Wat
son in his place.

Merle DAUBIGNE.-A correspondent
thus describes the great historian of the
Reformation:
He is tall, erect, fine looking msn
Of sixty years of age, of dark complexion,
and dignitied and commanding mien.
His appearance indicates at once lofty
and massive intellect, great passional
susceptibility, conjoined with the utmost
vigor, determination, and earnestness.
He is evidently first class orator, and
through all the conscious restraints Of
speaking in language with which he is
more conversant than his modesty would
bring him to believe English his hearers
can feel the sweeping power of that reli-
gious fever, which burns and glows i'm
his rapid sentences. His words and
phrases are pictures. There is the same
rapid style Of reasoning that marks
the French mind, unrestrained in its
glowing impulses by the dry, anatom-
ical formalities of the regular syllogism,
so congepial to the Teutonie and Anglo
Saxon mind. There is a beautiful and
simple philosophical analysis streaming
through all his golden pictures, connect
ing the beautiful truths of the gospel that
float ON the clear and shining stream of
chastened consciousness" .,..........
