, A CASE Of fatal child iosging occurred at
SssniA, . few miles iron Kingston, Canada
West on "Wednesday ,'lAst the victim being
. little gin Eve year, Of age, named Kate
Sibley, the illegitimste child Of Schuyler
Sibley and MIR Ksts Davis, and the al
Legged provocation being the refusal Of the
chnd 70 say Its prayers. Il appears that on
the night in question the mother had beaten
me child With raw hide for nearly an hour,
and when rendered insensible by pain and
loss Of blood, thrust IL into chair and went
to bed For q time the child was heard TO
moan ~ II in intense agony, but soon be-
came quiet, and nothing more was heard
until near morning, when q servant entering
the room found the child dead, and immedi-
stely gave the alarm. Upon lifting the child
from the floor, where IL had fallen, most
revolving sight was presented. The head,
face and shoulders were SCARED and discol-
ored from the terrible blows of the raw hide,
while the body, from head to foot, presented
o shockingiy mangled and bloody appear.
ance. Old scars, scarcely healed were also
visible upon the body, testifying to former
cruel fogeings. The medical evidence
showed that the injuries Of the Hogging were
alone sufficient to produce death, but that
serious internal injuries, the result of kicks
or blows, had previously been received, and
the entire absence Of food for many hours
had also something to do with the result.
The murderess, in being examined, confessed
that few days previous to the fatal act the
father Of the child had administered to IL a
most unmerciful beating for not saying its
prayers, and ordered her to do the same
whenever it refused. The Jury returned q
verdict eliminating both parents, whereupon
they were both committed to prison to await
trial for murder.

schools providing for the issue of scrip proceeds of
which be invested in United States stocks the CAPT
tai to remain undiminshed, aud the interest to be

one years of age citizens Of the United States, and
resident for one year in the District. The essence OF
these bills has found wide favor in Congress- and we
trust that before Congress enters into any wholesale

THE YACHT RACE.

An ocean yacht race Of sufficient magnitude 10
draw the sportiye attention Of continent two, Is
announced to come off the 18th Of December. A
contemporary Of considerable enterprise and Of bound
less bounce may be said to have the affair in tow and
if the great ocean yacht trial does not
become the event OF century, II will
certainly DO for no want of racy historians.
The vessels Henrietta, Vesta and Fleetwing, are TO
start from Sandy Hook for the marine light on the
west end of the Isle Of Wight, at one o'clock on
Tuesday next amid the imaginable cheers OF the
assembled hemispheres. Great sums Of money and
great principles of seamanshp are at stakes thou
sands and tens of thousands have been bet on this
breezy contest The yacht Henrietta enters this race
perhaps a victim, and it may be to become con-
queror to the extent of the entrance.fee of
thirty thousand dollars; bat all and-lubbers must be
impressed with the oceanic character of the sweep
stakes Msinssil, jlb, flying jib, b topsails, fore
and gaff topsas, and other marine tackle and toy
gerry are talked Of only amateur sailors cam with
@ perfect wndines5 and hurricane Of epthets that IN
these cloudy days Of December must be the wonder
of your safe landsmen and the delight of weather
beaten tars. There are many as three agreements
between the rival yachters, Messrs Bennett, Osgood
and Lorllard; Commodore McVckar of salt nOtoriety
is to be the umpire, aud Mr.. Leonard ". Jerome,
whose regret must be that he cannot enter seahorse
and carry off the stakes with Neptune as jockey, Is
to hold the purse. BY all accounts the race is to be
as spirited as it is prneey in its preparation and out
lay. Ninety thousand dollars have been subscribed
20 the common fund, and a hundred thousand, at
least, enter into the sport in the form of wagers.
The gentlemen who take partin the race are all men
of wealth and position, whose amusement takes the
shape of the oceanic and heroic. Mr.. James Gordon
Bennett IT,, who, believe is the sole owner Of the
handsomest yacht Of the fleet, goes into the race
with daring energy which the fast-sailing
newspaper he edits will strive in vain to emulate
The race, as mapped out, deserves our admiratoni
for it is the very first time in the history Of Amer
can sporting when the love of exercise, that still
at times strs the pulse and blood of young Man
haitian, has taken the ocean for field
Let us add our best wishes to the general breeze that
will carry these yachsmen of ours to the Isle OF Wight
