TnE APPEALED CASE. On enquiry of the
County Attorney, E. r. wigsin Esq, since
returning from Augusta, we learn that in
the appealed case Of Mr.. A. Haines, referred
to IN our last, tho main witness in tho case,
Benjamin A. Kennison, was excluded for
incompetcncy. When this witness was put
on the stand he was objected to, and the oh
lection sustained by the introduction of q
record of his conviction for Larceny or pet
ty Larceny several years ago. When the
case was tried by the Recorder Of the Mu
nicipal Court, no evidence Of such conviction
was introduced, nor was the fact of its exist.
cnce known to the Magistrate. 1t was on
the testimony Of this witness almost entirely
that the case then rested. He was the per.
son whom Mr.. Haines was charged in the
complaint with having assaulted. We state
this fact in this manner, and without COM
ment at this time, that the public may know
upon what grounds this appealed case wa
not sustained. At our earliest convenience
we shall, II we are not fully exonerated from
the unjust charge which the Democrat In
its columns on the Goth ult., brought sgaius,

Reform School.

The annual Report of the Trustees and
Superintendent of the State Reform School
has been laid before the legislature. We
condense the following facts:
The year commenced with debt Of about
$1,000, which by n rigid econ my has been
reduced to $4,000. An appropriation is
asked for the latter sum. The maintaining
of the Reform School is to be taken as the
settled policy Of the State. Tho effect Of
the punishment Of young offenders in prs.
on. is proved to be the loss Of self respect
and indifference to punishment. In this
country, one in ten Of oil the convicts are
under 20 yearso of age. Statistics show that
IS per cent Of all imprisoned persons be-
come reckless and abandoned. Ii is, there
fore, highly important question how these
young moral orphans are to DO saved from
such recklessness and abandonment. 1t lisa
matter of encouragement that the plan Of
Reform Schools is gaining everywhere. In
the United States. the number of such schools
has increased since 1850, from ! to IL.
The Superintendent's Report shows 234
boys in the School Dec. 1855, and 30 COM
mitted since, and one apprentice returned,
in all 3l5 in school during the year. Dis
charged or aPpreuticcd, 81 ; remandrd, 3 !;
pardoned, 5; died, l, total, &c; leaving
2l9 in the school Nov. 30, 1856. The aver
age number for the year is 900 80.

HoRsEBACK RIDING. y. ii. Willis in one
Of his invalid Letters" thus speaks Of the
therapeutic virtues Of horseback riding:
alt was n secret which did not discover
by books: that exercise, wiih tie legs Of a
horse 10 do the cork, distributes the hoods
fullness and freshness 10 the extremities (;
but that exercise iriih your OtrR legs 10 do the
vOrk. draws the fulness and freshness from
the extremities to the centre. Life and
strength, that is 10 say, are centrifugal II
you exercise on horseback-centripetal If
you exercise on foot. To test this you have
only to do the two things. But look in the
glass, when you return from ride in the
saddle, and you will sec that the hollows un-
der your eyes are filled out and ireshened in
color, and that the incipient lines in your
face, (for presume ! am addressing mid.
dle-aged charming woman have disappeared
wholly or become indistinct. Then. look in
the glass after you return from iriLk, Of
equal exercise, and you will sec just the con-
trary-your eyes sunken and the lines deep
ened with the fatigue. Or, sill more de-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the frcsh-colored
fullness Of your hands and fingers ends, at.
ter the one exercise, with their dragged and
depleted sparcnes after the other.
A recognition of the same fact may be
seen in the advice given by medical books
~ literary men-Or men whose brains are
oyerwOrked by prolonged attention Of any
kind. Avoid walking rs an exercise And
the reason given Is, that the concentrated
excrtion at the hips and IONS Of the pedes-
TRAN, pull directly upon the forces Of the
spine which sustains the BRAIN And it is
natures n.llying law-or calling in the re-
cruiting power from the extremeties to sup
ply the demand upon the centre OF the sys-
ten-yhich equally robs the brain, the face
and the hands of their proportionate supply
Of fullness. Your beauty, madam, merely
pays its recruiting tax with the rest"

PROTESTANT VS.. CATHOLIC CHARITY. 4
recent report Of the New York Association
for Improving the Condition Of the Poor
complain Of the want Of cooperation among
Roman Catholics for the attainment of the
objects ofthe Society. While more than
evcnty.fye per cent Of the SOciety's bene.
fcIaries are Roman Catholics, not one per
cent. Of its pccuniary means is derived from
persons Of the Romish faith. The report
says:
All our Protestant churches are charit-
able institutions, from their foundation to
their top stone. They 10 care for their in
dirent members AMI families. that none are
allowed to be relieved by public arms, or to
be thrown upon the cold charities Of the
world. The same Is true. as u general fact
of the Jews amongst US. But the Roman
Catholics Of this city, excepting the relief Ut
W ORPHANS, make no corresponding provis-
ion Er their poor. neither by their
churches or otherwise (; nor yet assist, by
their contributions, those who are engaged
in this Christian duty. Their adult poor
anu Cuilurcu, bhc eiCh, NuC aSV1s eua tue
impotent, are alike neglected by them. o.
those who subsist on aims, and overrun our
city as mendlcants, there is reason TO fear
that thousands would perish every year,
unless relieved by Protestant charity.
Remonstrance with them on the subject.
Is uniformly met with the plea of poverty
But il does not appear how such q plea !:
reconcilable with the admitted wealth Of
many Of their members-their boasted num-
bers-thc millions of money annually To
mitte1 BY them from this country TO En-.
rope-the millions invested in large and
costly church ediiccs--and their numerous
conysrts T., confraternities, schools, academies,
colleges, &C.. which they have founded
anon, Us, for educational uses and the
PROPAGATION of their faith
We apprehend that the same Is true in all
our large cities and towns. Thousands and
tens of thousands Of dollars arc raised from
The VERY poorest and most hard working
classss in tho community by the Catholic
church, TO build new churches and for the
support OF the priesthood, bat the church
has few orno charities which are not con-
nected with religious propagandism.

Remarkable Feats Of q Mad Dog
Great Destruction Of Property.

About the last Of December, dog be-
longing to James McKoy, who lives four
miles northeast Of Augusta, went mad, and
in his travels committed the most extensive
deprcdations we ever before recollect or
heard of having been committed bya nbid
animal.
Rumor has il that the dog had been Bit
ton several weeks previous 10 his going mad
by another dog known 10 have been rabid
bat being great fayorite with his master.
he tied him up and refused to kill him !;
when attacked with the disease, in his par
oxism, he broke from his fastenings and es-
caped-haying. however, before leaving his
masters premises, biz two OF his horses
which have since gone mad. lie then took
a course westward, on the Warsaw and Az
gusta road, and when about three miles from
his starting point. overlook Mr.. Patchin,
who was returning from Augusta in wag-
on TO his home near Chill |; one Of his hors-
g the dog BIT, and the animal has since
gone mad. lie next overlook two strangers
on horseback. one Of whom was leading a
third horse these three horses the dog bit,
but as the travellers proceeded on their jour
ney il is not known whether fatal results
followed OF not. Next We hear Of the dos
at the residence OF james Mutt, where he
bit one horse, which has since gone mad.
Next he turned upat wIgyletown, and there
he bit two horses for Mr.. Bucklew, Zone
since mad, y also two steers, tone since mac, }
twelve hogs also fell victims to his rayages

(since mad.) for Mr.. Hart. Next at the
house OF James Taylor, he bit u very fine
horse, (since mad) belonging to Peter Parr
also three head of horses, Zone since mad J
also COW and calf, (both since mad) for
Mr.. Taylor. Next, We hear OF him at Syl-
yester Crouches, where he bit one horse,
(since mad,) aud i've sheep all now dead.
Next he went ~ William Taighman's.
Here he bit several hogs, two very large
ones, estimated ut 500 pounds each, (sinec

ut Williamson's. and bit one CIV, (since
mad.) Next no fell in with old Mr.. Hick-
man and his son. lie spang at the boy
with such force as TO throw him down, but
die not bite him. A large dog OF Mr.. lis
being in company, seized him ana drove
him of. lie, however, before leaving his
premises, biz one, (sinee mad.) Next he
had an encounter with Mr.. Blake's dog
After this he went north to Mr.. Adams,
and bit one steer. Next he went to John

Tended himself with hoe, and he finally
succeeded IN killing the animal.
The stock bitten was estimated TO be
worth $1,000, and already gone mad, $500.

vi the ffultS oi tne scnooi. TIC oopeftn-
tenden. has thess sensible remark: 4
"The fruit Of our labon. from the ma
ture of the case, Is often hidden from the
public eye. A boy having having been sent
70 the Reform school, and there instructed
In the paths Of duty and right conduct.
passes out into society, becomes q useful
citizen, settles down quietly, and leads
y,rtuous and industrious life. The fact
that he was once an offender against the
laws of the State, is not proclaimed by him
self, (nor should il be) and the fact that be
owes his reformation to the influences exert
ed upon him in Reform school, where he
entered perhaps in ignorenoe and vice, Is
known to only few Of bis intimate associ-
ates.
But this IL not the case Of one, upon
whom tho discipline and instruction Of the
institution has had little or no beneficial ef.
feet. He goes forth to mingle again with
his former vicious and still more depraved
companions, and Is soon again before the
Courts of the State, where he Is known by
the officers ofjusticc to have been in Re
form School; and this fact with other cir
cumstances OF his case, Is spread TO the pub
lie in the papers Of the day. by this means,
the cases Of failure to reform become pnblic.
ly known, while those who owe their posi-.
ton IN society to the instruction here re-
ceived, IRE scattered In the quiet retreats Of
life.
We have much to encourage Us. not with.

Most Of the boys show unmistakable evidence
ola real desire for reformation and amend

We have granted to the boys greater lib.

turned with fidelity to tho School, much

We have also allowed some Of the boys to
90 unattended to visit their friends, without
having to regret in any instance failure
to return with promtness.
One example Of perseverance in redeem
ing pledge Of this kind Is worthy OF men
tim. A bow was allowed to visit his par
ents, who reside over SIXTY miles irsm tht
School. He was to return on specified
day, by the steamer. The day arrived fol
his return: he went to the wharf to en-
bark. and found, to his surprise. that thu
