Eel5~ The New Yo. k Observer relates the
case of a citizen of Indiana, to whom his
nephew had forwarded two French vases and
some books, taken from the house Of Col.
Bird, Of Baton Rouge, during the war. The
vases were beautiful, but it became more and
more panful to the Indianan to look at them
Said he:
81 never wanted them; my wife never
wanted them; felt like thief every time
looked at them %
He set to work to find out the owner, and
through the lid Of the Masonic society sue
cecdcd. To his offer to restore the vases.
Col Bird wrote touching reply:
eyes, he wanted the vases and the books.
It vas all that was left-thc only link he
had to bind the past to the present Send
them, carefully; spare no expense Such
was the tenor Of his letter. And then his
thanks and expressions OF regard for the kind
ncss and tenderness that prompted such an
act.
Last @eek the vases and books we're
packed and ure now on their way to Baton
Rouge"
The writer in the Cbacryer continues:
GLOW many houses in this fair land Of OURS
have this wedge of gold in them? How
many are furnished outright from the plum
der Of the war! Seine, know. If there
is any one who can sleep easy under such a
load, he deserves pity"

Frightful Bnrbarity--A child OF Thre,
Years whipped to Death.

AOaNb ""ppou ~ DcNth'
A Presbyterian clergyman named
Lindsey has been arrested at Medina,
New York, for whipping his littlc boy
to death. The child, who would have
been three years old in August, refus-
ed to say his prayers when ordered to
do SO by its step mother. The father
then administered the cruel and fatal
punishment above mentioned, The
following is tho fathers testimony be-
fore tho Coroner's Jury; ~
On the 18th OF June the child DISC
beyed his step mother, and | commenc-
ed correcting him, using a-shingle for
the purpose, and continued to chastise
him tor more than t,co hours, when the
child began to show signs of debility,
and ceased to punish him and laid
him on a couch, and called my wife,
When she saw the child she said he
was dying, and before u o'clock be
was dead. IA
The Coroner's Jury returned a yer.
dict "that death resulted from chastise
ment by the father" ,Ir
The Rochester Union says:
The body Of the child told more
plainly and patheticaly than words
could, the terrible punishment it had
undergone Several of its fingers were
broken and the nails knocked off; the
skin was abrased, and the blood had
oozed from every pore, To conceal
thoscrime the father tied the little ones
hands behind It's back and himself pla-
ced it in its coffin. While physician,
were making post norton examination
of the body, he sat by, coolly looking
at the proceedings, After a while he
spoke and asked them if they had moi
carried "this thing about far enough. ;
The physicians discovered no disease
about the child--it died solely from ex
ccssive and cruel punishment.
We are told that Lindsey justife,
his horrid work lie thinks it was hil
duty to punish the child until his vii
was broken and he obeyed, Lindsley
was arrested yesterday and committed
to Jail in Albion. 1t was with the ut

him in charge could keep the citizens
