BRUTAL TREATMENT OF CHILDREN.-The
Newark IN. J,) Daily Advertiser, of Fri
day, says: Henry Brenneman, storekeeper
at West Newark, was arrested by detective
Fisher this morning, for an inhuman assault
on two of his step.children. 1t is alleged
that last night the children were unmerci-
fully beaten, and two of them, girls of the
ages of and IL turned into the street,
when they sought shelter about midnight at
the house of an uncle, IN Court street, who
this morning made the charge against this
accused. One Of the little girls appeared
before Justice Mills this morning, when the
bruises about her head and face attested the
truth of the allegations. A brother of the
girls, about 13 years of age, il Is said, was
Severely beaten, kicked, and struck upon
the head with hammer, and then locked
up in room in the upper story. On being
liberated this morning, the little fellow him.
self went before magistrate to prefer =
charge, but the arrest had been anticipated
| by the warrant of Justice Mills. Bail wa
refused until all the circumstances could be
ascertained 1t is only few weeks since
that Brenneman was arrested and bailed for
an atrocious assault on his wife, the mother
| Of the children.

The Norwich Comm Bulletin has this:
"Mr. Dixoni Oh, Mr.. Dixonl We have re-
ceived sufficient number of copies of your
debate with Senator Ferry to last us for the
next six months, and give us constant read
ing. Will you please stop sending them.
Hash for fifty OF sixty meals will do very
well, but after that it pals upon the appetite.

Office. Infiiet them on somebody you don't
like as well as you do u.s."

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY OF LAKE Dwell
LINes.-The Pail Mall Gazette says "A
complete Pompeii of lake dwellings has been
discovered near Daber, in Pomerania. Pro-
lessor virchow, to whom the discovery ia
mainly due, has succeeded in laying open
on the western side of the Daber Lake more
than twenty larger and as many smaller
rooms or dwellings. Each Of the former is
twelve feet large, ten feet deep; the latter
average from six to four and four and quar-
ter feet. Between every two of the larger
huts there is a distance of foot to foot and
a quarter; between the smaller ones the dis
tance is about four feet, while the larger and
the smaller are some three feet apart. 1t is
doubtful whether the smaller buildings were
meant for stables or outhouses. Many re-
mains Of bones, horns, leather, combs,
needles made OF D0ne, wooden aud clay yvn-
sells, &C., were found. Similar dwellings
have also been discovered near Persanzing,
in the new Stetin district, which seem to
have been destryed by fire. The wood used
in them, where not burnt, is still in re-
markably good state of preservation.

SINGULAR CAsn--A LATE SLAVE PROVIDES
HsR FORMER OWNER HoME.-Within few
days past, says the Baltimore Commercial, q
case Of somewhat novel character has been de-
yeloptd by some philanthrOpic ladies in Old
Town, 1t seems that previous to the war o
highly educated lady was residing in North
Carolina, upon a very large plantation, sur
rounded by luxury, and living in true Southern
style. The results Of the war reduced her to
want; her many slaves were emancipated by
the proclamation, and she was left helpless AMI
alone She finally reached this city severa
days since, in search Of somc old friends, il
great destitution, and was about to apply to th,
authorities for relief, in her utter despair, whel
she encountered one Of her old servants now
resident here, who insisted upon returning ih
many acts of kindness displayed in the past, an
actually provided her former mistress with
comfortable home. How singular are the work
iugs Of kind Providence.

A ROMANTIC LOVE AFFAIR,-A romantic
instance OF faithful love has occurred in a
prominent family residing on Fifth Avenue,
New York. Some years since the youthful
daughter (only fourteen courted in childish
fashion by gentleman of seventeen, went
elandestinelY with him TO get married. The
parents heard what was going on, arrived at
the church just as the ceremony was conclud-
ed, and carried off severally the bride and
bridegroom. The latter was marched of to
school; the former locked in her room, and
soon after taken to Paris. Here she remain
ed with her mother till she was eighteen,
when she was introduced into society. Her
beauty and fortune attracted many visitors,
but she repeled all their advances. She
had, at long intervals kept up correspond
ence with the youthful husband from whom
she had been separated; and not long since,
when she landed in New York, the first
person on whom ner eyes lighted was the
Benedict aforesaid, growr more manly and
handsome, and eager to embrace his wife.
The parents no longer opposed their reunion.

BURIED ALIVE = WONDERFUL ESCAPE. "A
Washington correspondent of the Boston Tran
script tells the following story, which makes
large drafts upon the readers credulity "A
gentleman of New Albany, Floyd County, In
diana, a respectable and perfectly credible man.
now clerk in the Pension Bureau, Washington,
was formerly soldier in Co. F, 59th Indiana
Volunteers. In 1862 he was stationed at st..
Louis. While stationed there he was taken
down with smallpox, and apparently died ;
placed in coffin and Immediately entombed.
As the soldiers tomb was rather rapidly filled,
five other collins were soon piled on his. He
| lay there two and and half days, when he be-
came somewhat conscious, and his first feeling
was sufFocating sensation. His screams alarm
ed the German sentinel who was guarding hiI
tomb, who frngtened, ran, dropping his gun
which was discharged. The report aroused Mr.
NJ. still more to serse of his condition ant
awful location. lie redoubled his screams
bringing rush of soldiers to the tomb, VIII
soon got him out and relieved him from his ter
rible confinement. He is confident he shoult
have sutfocated in fifteen minutes. He say
that, though never conscious of his dreadful
situation, his mind was always active, and hi
sensations unspeakably ightful-seeming t
float through scenes of surprising beauty, an
strains of delicious music, such, to use his ow
words, as he has never heard since. For obviou
reasons he does not wish his name to be pub
lished, but your correspondent will vouch fo
his character.

CHoLERA-PRoaREss or PRACTICAL SKILL IN
APPLYING DIsINFEcTANTs.-Dr. Harris, in let
ter to the President of the Board of Health,
gives many interesting facts relating to the pre-
valence of cholera and the means devised to
check its ravagos. He says:
The employment of specific disinfectants of
cholera excremcnt was commenced by US in this
country at the quarantine hospitals on Staten
Island in 1866 The first great lessons on the
subject were taught by Dr. VIM. Budd, at the
military barracks in Bristol, England, and by
Professor Pettenkofer, at the Kaisheim prison
in Bavaria, in 1854 Dr. Lander Lindsey, in a
cholera hospital and in certain lunatic asylums
in Scotland, added several facts to the same ex-
perieuce.
Certain soluble salts of iron, viz: the SUI
pilates and chorides which possess the power
of arresting certain kinds of fermentation, and
of destroying certain gases and products Of pu-
trefaction, continue to be the most trustworthy
chemicals for the general purposes of disnfec.
tion. We first employed them in 1866 and 1856,
because of their chemical qualities, and par
ticularly because of the success that seemed to
attend their employment by the great chemist,
Prof Pettenkofer. But these iron salts, and
most other metallic salts, cannot well be used
on the sOled clothing and bedding, nor do they
act very permanently, for they may soak away
or may readily be changed into insoluble and
inert substances. Hence to meet the necessity
for powerful and most permanent and unchange
able antiseptic, resort is had to carbolic acid
and the coal-tarconpouuds Scientific chemists
and expermenters, and all wel.informed sani
tary officers, now agree that saturated solutions
of coperas and carboC acid are at once the bes
and cheapest disinfectants that can be uset
against cholera.
The Metropolitan Board of Health, was as
believe, the first sanitary body to provide fo
disinfecton as an essential and distinct brancl
of sanitary service. Glasgow soon followed, an'
in Southampton, and Bristol, in Eugland, tn
business was, in July last, done by traine
hands, and with marvellous snccess. st. Loui
has just organized a perfect system of disin
fscting depots aud sanitary care in the twelY
wards Of that much threatened city. In Me-
Orleans, Nashville, Memphis, Chicago, and seN
eral other cities, the sanitary authorities or
organizing the same good system. This systei
was first suggested by the Council of HygienI
. in this city, in October, l865.-[N, Y. Paper
