SHOCKING INHUMANITY.-A revolving
case Of barbarity has been brought to light
near Wilkst,arre. Pa. An old man named
Isaac Bisbing. in that vicinity, quarreled
with his son Andrew, and in n fit Of rage
he seized gan and shot the boy in the
back, from the effects of which it is feared
he cannot recover. 1t seems that the old
man was perfect demon, and some of his
acts Of barbariiy towards his wife and chill
dren wonld have shamed the widest savage.
He would frequently hang the yoangerchil-
dren up by the neck until life was almost
extinct, and at other times he would hold
their heads under the water until they
struggled in the agonies Of death. One
of the boys fed to the house Of neigh
Dor one day, badly burned, aud stated
that his father had thrown red hot poker
into the bel in which the children slept,
just to see the frolic they would have get
