SAD RESULT OF CRUEI. PUNIsHMENT-Some
three years ago, the son Of the Warden of a
prison in neighborng State-a bright, intelli-
gent, handsome boy of seventeen--was detected
by his father in the commission of an oflense,
for which NO doubt he merited and should have
received an application of the rod from the
hands Of his parent. The father, however, in
stead Of applying the punishment usual in such
cases of youthful delinquency, arraigned his
child. stripped him of his ordinary clothing,
shaved his hair from his head, and dressed him
In the striped garb of convict, and confined
him within the walls of a penitentiary-th to
remain until the unnatural parent should see fit
to release him. For weeks, the boy, unable to
help himself, underwent the rigid diciplins of
the prison, and performed the duties assigned
to the cenvicts; the most humilating and de-
grading of which was to appear in the public
thoroughfares of his native town, and assist
with team engaged in hauling. Citizens shock
their heads and public execration towards the
Warden became so strong and decided that he
was compelled at once to restore his son to lib
erty, and he came very near being turned out
of office.
AS soon as released, the dishonored boy, bro
ken in pride and spirit, fed from his home and
nothing was heard from him, until at length he
turned up in the California Courts, accused of
burglary. He was acquitted, and about year
since returned to the Atlantic States-gong
from one to another of our large cities, and
plunging into every species of dissipation aud
vice. A few months since he was arrested in
one of our principal cities for arson and robbery,
had his trial and received for his sentence ten
years solitary confinement in the penitentiary-
aud but last week was brought back to the home
Of his bOyhood one of a gang of thirty chained
felons in charge OF the Sheriff. He met at the
prisons threshold his own father, still the War
den. And so near father, mother, brothers and
sisters-who are all respectable members of So
Ciety-he must serve out his long and dreary
term of punishment. ."-Louispille Journal.

A late Paris paper gives the following ac-
count Of murder that recently occurred in
that vicinity. The particulars, so far as known
are as follows:
A boy ten years of age, in the service Of a
farmer of Ville-en-bois, was sent to the field to
take care of COWS. At nightfall the animals re-
turned home without the boy, and as hour after
hour passed away and he did not appear, alarm
was excited and q search was made after him.
He, however, could not be discovered and
though the search was renewed next morning,
nothing could be seen or heard of him. This
naturally created an immense sensation in the
village and neighborhood, and it became the
common subject Of conversation. One Of the
villagers related in group that on the previ-
GUS morning he had heard plaintive cries at a
distance in the fields and the exclamation, "Par-
dom Do not kill mer' Some person observ-
ed that as the man said this, one Of the group,
girl seventeen years of age, daughter of q
small farmer; displayed extraordinary agita-
tion. Her father took her home and question
ed her as to why she was troubled.
After much pressing. she confessed that she
had thrown stone at the boy, which had hit
him on the head, and killed him on the spot
She repeated the statement to the boys father,
but she did not say why she had thrown the
stone, and she positively refused to 60 with
Lnem 10 Lne spot Wnerc tue DOy'b DOuy was W
be found, lest she said, they should kill her too;
she, however, declared the body to be in par
ticular spot. 1t was sought for at the place in
dicated, but not found, and long search took
place before it was discovered buried in fern at
the bottom of ravine, to which it had evident
ly been dragged 1t turned out however, that
the boy had not been killed by stone, as his
person was covered with wounds and his head
was half severed from his body. The authcri-
ties went at once to arrest the girl, but they
found that she had gone to Liege, gave herself
into custody, and was locked up in the jail. On
being questioned there, she said that she had
killed the boy because he had teased her, she
repeated that she had first struck him with q
stone, but she added that, as that did not kill
him, she had finished him by two blows with 0
stick she said nothing however, as to how hii
throat was cut. She appeared to be perfectly
unconcerned respecting her own fate. Hel
family, and that of the boy are relatives
and have always been on friendly terms. 1t il
supposed she must have been laboring under
some strange hallucination when she committed
the crime.
