+ Tux PENIrENTIARy.- Yesterday
Z morning, we found at our door step,
an anonymous COMMUNICATION, address.
cd TO the editor Of the Comet" and
purporting to have been written by a
prisoner within the walls. The writ
ter complains bitterly Of the treatment
to which the prisoner is now subjected.
Could we have any assurance that
what he states, is the fact /; VIC should
without any hesitation publish it,
Discipline can be observed without
crulty, and punishment inflicted with
seasoning Of mercy. The pcniten-
tiary system, was desired for the pur-
pose Of correcting as far us it is posi-
bic to do 50, the crring members Of
society, anAwhilst punishments are
inflicted, rewards should be mcrited
to those, who BY good behaviour. des-
ervo them. This was the principle
upon which the bill to release the
Prison, was vetoed by the Executive
and the message reflects credit on the
head and heart from which it eminat-
en-. It is the business Of tho Dircc-
tors to eco that the prisoners receive
human aud christian treatment. There
is no ono more willing tsIppeak out in
behalf Of the prisoner, than ourself,
when VIC can do so with the authority
Of facts. We are led to believe from
the character Of the gentlemen COM
posing the Board Of Directors, as also
the Chief Warden, and the assistants
that the Prisoners, are not more rigid
ly dealt With, than is necessary to
preserve proper discipline. When we
can have, any good assurance, that
such is not the fact, VIC arc very ready
to speak word, in support of the
rights of those who are supposed to
have no rights.

in General Assembly convened. Very
recently it has been much referred to,
and wo arc led to believe that the
original of the document is still or
tant, having withstood the ravagcs of
time, and the rcmorsclcss tooth Of Oh
livion.
The people should guard with n
jealous eye, their rights in this dircc-
ton or government dcgeneratcs into
mob faction, and their nearest and
dearest rights-touching the very
depths Of their pockets, and hearts are
trampled upon and disregardcd. The
constitution is 1--WE have been told this)
written in clear and school master
like chirography-thc is are dotted
and the Is crossed, and it was intend
ed to DO comprehensive to the COM
mon mind. Therefore it should be
read by each citizen having an inter
est in the State, and committed to
memory by those who have minds re-
tcntive enough to remember their
debts. When its provisions are viola
ted by any man or set Of men, note
should be made Of the fact, and he or
they should be remembered for it
when offering before the people for the
popular suffrage. In the Higher
schools the constitution of the State
should be read-everybod) should be
familiar with tho document, as long as
It remains the supreme governing
power.
The document referred to, has so
'ften-during the past three years,
been grossly violated, or permitted by {
he legislature to be dead letter, that ,
t is refreshing and revivifying to sec
from it, now and then refer ,

SINGULAR CIRcuMsTANcE.-Not
long since (says the Richmond Whig)
a Mrs. Kendrick, after an illness OF
some length Of timc, presented every
external evidence of death, and pre-
parations were made for her interment.
About ten hours after her apparent
deccase, some friends who were en-
ployed in making u stroud were amaz.
ed TO hear her ask, in faint voice, for
food. 1t seems that she had catalep.
tic fit, which fortunately passed off in
season to prevent the horrors ofprema-
ture burial. She was however, very
low at last accounts.

The following is the latest story we
have seen illustrative Of tho sagacity
Of the feline race
Mr.. Tiedmann, the famous Saxon
dentist. had valuable tortoise shell
cat, that for days did nothing but moan.
Guessing the cause, he looked into its
mouth, and seeing decayed tooth,
soon relieved it of its pain. The fol-
lowing day there were at least ten cats
at his door-the day after. twenty;
and they went on increasing at such a
rate that he was obliged TO keep bull
dog to drive them away. But moth
ing would hel p them. A cat who had
the toothache would come any number
of miles to him. 1t would come down
the chimney, even, and not leave the
room till he had taken its tooth out.
1t grew such nuisance at last that he
was never free from one of these feline
patients. However, being one morn.
ing very nervous, he accidentally broke
the jaw of an old tabby. The news of
this spread like wildfire. Not single |
cat ever came to him afterwards.
