A YOUNG EienA.

The Baltimore Republican gives the fol.
lowing as few Of the exploits OF boy only
fifteen years Of age, the son Of very re.
spectacle citizen of that city:
Not long ago, young Newfoundland dog,
the favorite OF his father, was securely tied
by the young Nero, who saturated the body
with camphene or ETHEREAL oil, and set fire
to the infamable fluid, which had the effect
OF roasting poor Towser until life became
extinct, after the endurance OF the most in.
tense, agonizing suffering which the human
mind can conceive.
The young demon being we'll pleased at
the result of this experiment In cruelty, next
endeavored also to roast alive his little sis.
ter, q bright, intelligent child, about six
years Of age. Having playlully bound her
legs and arms with a Clothes.line, he placed
her upon the cooking stove in the kitchen,
heated to an intense degree, in order to pre-.
pare dinner for the family. The shrieks
and yS lie OF the agonized little victim were
fortunately heard by the mother, who rush
cd down and removed the poor child before
she was fatally injured. The toleEation o.
the young williams crimes has ceased 10 b.
virtue, and the father was engaged in pre-
parations to effect his removal 10 the House
OF Refuge, when the hopeful youth sudden
ly disappeared at night from the dwelling
and no tidings have been heard Of bin
since. @-.s r. qE -

Rev0IutiOmiz,Mg IL Plantation,


One of the editors Of the Evening Post,
now travelling at the South, tells the follow.
ing story related by Colonel Stro,her, Of
Berkeley Springs, Va, who Is the "Porte
Crayon" whose illustrated articles in HGr
psr's Monthly have delighted the readers Of
that magazine. 1t was ab )ut an energetic
young nrval officer, who determined 70 in.
produce the discipline of the service, and the
modern improvements, upon his newly In.
herited estate on the J lmes river, which, un-
der the old management, had gone far into
dilapidalion.
On his arrival, he ordered the old crszy
ploughs, the spades, rakes, and the other
untiquated implements, 10 DO collected in
heap and burned, in presence OF the whole
plantation. The next day the miserable
horses and cattle were collected together
and shot. On the following doy the old
barns and outhouses were fred and consum
ed. On the next day he demanded the ter.
ror stricken slaves to be led out, and the
overseen to pronounce which Of them were
inefficient and deserving Of death. About
one hundred and fifty were thus picked out
and led to execution. An immense howl and
outcry for mercy, mingled with promises Of
good behavior, urose. The master at first
uppered immoveable, but the pre'arroDged
| intercession Of the overseer, finally induced
him to relent, and allow them further pro.
baton Of year and half. At this exhi.
btion OF clemeDcy, the gratitude of the poor
negroes knew no bounds. A new spirit ol
industry seized them, and in year or two
with the erection of new buildings, and the
introduction of new methods Of agriculture
the energetic young master could boast oI
one of the best ordered and most productive
plantations in that State.
