ALLC0CK,s POROUS PLASTtRs.


MEssRs. THos. ALLCocK & Co.-Please send,
with dispatch twelve dozen Allcock's Porous Plas-
ters. Our daily experience confirms their very su-
perior excellence. At this moment of writing
man applies for one, who. by entanglement in the
shaft Of machinery had both his legs broken, spine
severely injured and for nearly year entirely
helpless. This man found relief very soon by the
application of plaster to bis spine. He was soon
enabled to work, and now he labors well ever.
He would cheerfully paV SIS for single Plaster if
they could not be had at a lower rate. 1 am sur
prised that surgeons do not make use of these per-
forated pasters to the exclusion of all others. as
their exibility and adhesiveness greatly in ad
vance of all other plasters with which am ac-
quainted; while the perforations peculiar to them
rendered them greatly superior to all others for
dinary surgical uses. Knowing the plasters to be
so useful, I have no scruples that my sentiments
should be known. aa. IS 30. .

An Epidemic of Cruelty TO Children
in England.
From the London Telegraph

ltrom the L0ndOn IelegrapnJ
A new and detestable crime, like
strange epidemic, seems to have invaded
the community. Day after day we hear OF
desperate and bitter cruelties inflicted upon
little children, and that, too, by their own
parents. .--
The dreadful case of a woman who has
murdered her little boy in fit of provoca-
tion or madness, is at present occupying
the attention ofjustice. At Hereford man
named Richard Bishop, the marker at some
ride butts, has been convicted of a similar
atrocity, though his brutal hand stopped
short of murder. He had girl child, twelve
years of age-the time oflite when care and
love and delicacy are most needed. because
girlhood then approaches near to the thres-
hold of womanhood.- Bishops instinct of
love and care disclosed itself in strange
way. The poor child was seen escaping
from skylight on the roof OF her ''home,"'
and from that she fell down into the tagged
yard below, where woman picked up the
poor little bruised fugitive, and carried her
10 the police station. There she sobbed out

A Dwelling and Hts Contents Sink
into the Ground. ai-

On Friday afternoon, 10th instant, sim
gular and startling accident happened near
Girardville, at the foot of Mahanoy Plane,
about six miles from Mahanoy City, ,Schuyl-
kill county. 1t seems that at that point
:. breast" of the Boston and Mahanoy Coal
Company's collipry had been worked to
within about 20 feet of the surface of the
earth, and that located just above it stood
two story frame building occupied by
Mr.. Thomas T. Myers, breaker boss at
the colliery. and his family He also had
number OF boarders, whose clothing, etc.,
were in the house. ...... r..- 90;
About three o'clock on Friday afternoon,
as Mrs. Norris Robinson, of this borough,
wife of the superintendent of the colliery,
was on visit to the house, and Mrs. N.Y.
ers, were in the kitchen, they felt the house
moving, and rushed in haste into the open
air. Two minutes had hardly elapsed after
they had left the house, before it sank with
a surging, swaying motion, into a huge
chasm to the depth of about eighty feet.
Large masses of earth and rock from the
sides of the chasm Immediately closed in
upon the house, burying it almost COM
pletely from view. The crash when it
went down was tremendous. The COM
plete entombment of the dwelling, which
was about thirty five feet long, may be
Inagined, says the Miners Journal when
we state that the chaSm formed by the
sinking of the mine would readily have ad-
mitted building over one hundred feet In
length.
The house contained seven beds and bed
ding, four stoves, beaureaus and other fur
niture, besides considerable quantity of
clothing, a Sunday school library, and some
money. There was fire in several of The
stoves, and shortly after the occurrence
smoke was seen issuing from the earth
which covered the roof, rendering it almost
certain that the house had been set on fire.
Streams of water were directed into the
chasm, and it was hoped that the house
would not be entirely destroyed. Fortu-
nately the startling occurrence was not at
tended by the loss of human life. Had it
taken place at night ten lives might have
been lost. But it took place at an hour
when some OF Mrs. Myers children had
gone to school, while the others were play
| ing outside.-PAizadeiphi Press, 30tR.

story ofalmost tincomprehensible atrocity.
She had broken away from her father while
be was striking her. He was in the habit
ot+whipping her with a rope while she was
lashed naked to beam in the garret, until
he could tiog her no longer. Some days
before she had fisked her life in the same
way to aescape--he had then been >beatin4
her all over with singing needles; her
mother standing by. On another occasion
he had suspended her by the waist to the
garrett beam, letting her feet just touch the
foor-an exquisite torture, much practiced
by the Inquisition when torture was
a fine art of -ecclesiastics. This is
one sample of the many ferocities
towards children which have come
under our notice. A second is re-
ported from Derby; the offender being a
brutal parent named Charles Darwin,
Whose victim was his own little boy of
nine years. In this case, both father and
mother were in the habit, it seems, of fasten-
ing the lad to a block of stone with a chain
aud paddock, when they went out, and of
beating him almost as often as they re-
turned. The instrument employed was a
whip stock, and the cries of the child were
so shocking that at last the neighbors called
in the police. They found the boy fastened
to the stone, with the chain drawn around
his body so cruelty that every link was
deeply indented in his flesh. The father
has gone to prison for three months, but
the mother, though also guilty, was set at
liberty, for reason which would be strange
if these dreadful contradictions of nature
did not upset all consistencies. She is let
off "to take care of her children She
beast turned back among her cubs, on the
chance that she may suckle instead of
strangle them.

sceues ON a French Race Course.


A Paris letter to an English paper draws
lively picture of the scene on French
race course:
"Some of the best French racing studs,
as every one knows, are at Chantilly, and
here, too, are several of the best breeding
establishments for race-horses. 1t is the
training place par erceLLence-the Newman
ket, in fact-ot the French turf. 1t swarms
with English trainers, grooms, jockeys and
stable boys, for whose benefit an English
Protestant church was built year or two
ago, in the hope of seducing these last from
their passion for playing at pitch and toss on
Sunday. The country round about is very
pretty, and the race course looks not unlike
an English common, surrounded as it is by
comfortable looking houses and fine trees.
The one thing that destroys the illusion is
Ehe grand chateau, the back of which, with
its long line of lofty windows, looks on to
the race course, and fronts, in TACT, the
tribune, as the French style the grand
stand. Much of the chateau is modern, for
the building inhabited by the Grand Conde,
was in large part demolished during the
first French revolution.

Garfield-not Gone TO Europe.

The Mahoning Register says:
general Garfield, while on the eve of
departure from Cleveland for New York,
last Friday, to take the steamer for
Europe. received dispatch informing
him that his presence will be indispensable
In an important law case in Western Vir-
ginia, to be tried in June. The General is
one of the counsel in the case, and as post
ponement of the trial cannot be secured, he
has been obliged to forego his projected
foreign tour"
Now that's too bad. After being used
up, played out and broken down by the
Herculean labors of the past winter in
Congress, to be switched short off, just in
sight of the so much needed relief, and
compelled to try an important law suit right
IN midsummer, is outrageous!
The General is counsel for the admins
traitor of Alexander Campbell, deceased,
and an account has been filed in the Pro-
bate Court. This we presume is the very
"important law case that makes the Cen
erals presence so Indispensable" Who
doubts that Garfield is too good for Gov
ernor ?-Warren Constitution.

WHOEVER does not shudder at roast veal,
after reading the subioined account of its
preparation for the table, must have his
heart tougher than he likes his dinner to be.
At Liverpool, England, two men, named
Henry johnson and Robert Turner, were
charged with cruelty. The police-consta-
BILE said that on the previous day his atten-
tion was called to the moaning OF calf in
a butchers yard. On entering, he saw the
animal lying on its side, and while Turner
was opening a wound on the neck, john
son was lifting the wretched creature by
the tail, which was doubled hard up
Witness said, "Why are you ill-treat-
ing the calf?" One of the men said
that he was not ill-treating it, add
ing that if the witness would only wait
awhile they would show him, that they
would do the same to two other beasts,
The excuse they gave for their conduct
was, that they intended to whiten the veal.
The eyes of the animal, w ere rolling and
almost starting out of their sockets. The
custom, 1t Is stated, is to bleed the calves
daYrafter day, until they~f fall down.: then
butchers leave them until they get little
better, and afterwards they bleed them
again - The ease was adjourned. "A local
print says ssprobably the magistrates will
matureIy consider the sestheties of the art
which has been described, and will deter
mine how far the process OF bleeding crea-
lures into syncope, and breaking their tail
ieints to rouse them for another drain OF
blood, is compensated even br the result OF
whiteness ia our veal"

From the Boston Post.1
The In1pea ehment Committee.

The boots and jeers at the Impeachment
Committee are numerous and hearty. The
tizzle is complete. There is hardly a Rad
ical who will say good word for the pro-
iect. now that it is as dead as the deadest
kind of dead door nail. The President
has not condescended to notice the attempt
to deprive him of his position. Busy Rad
ical men and women, like Tilton, nave tned
to write up the abject terror under which
he labored, but it was the merest bosh that
ever was penned. The President laughed
at the threats OF impeachment. He
could have probably bought up al
most all the committee at any
time, but they were not worth the
purchase. Boutwell,, of all the extremists,
save Butler, presents the most ridiculous
figure. He has been first to asperse and
first TO apologize. How to back gracefully
out of his plight he is at a loss to conceive.
Like all small men mentally, he is obstinate
as mule, or he would gain for himself
some respect for manliness and Ingenious
ness by frankly admitting that there was no
basis for an impeachment, that the calum-
nies were shallow, that the charges were
unsustained and the means used to bolster
them up disgraceful to all concerned. But
after all he may vote for the minority re-
port, for his nature is beautifully ''incon-
sistent" one, as shown when he was Gov
ernor of this State in his veto of bill one
day and his signing it the next. And OF
such stuff Radical craftsmanship is made.
