confined for a long time in dungeon, and

owned no dog and was not resident OF

awarded him only 5000 damages.

| FRIGHTENING CHILDREN. We know
of nothing more reprehensible, nothing
more dangerous and iniudicious, than
the practice of frightening children in
the nursery, at the family fireside and
in the social circle, by relating to them
ghost stories, goblin tales and witch
craft fctions. They receive painful
impressions from which their nervous
systems does not recover during their
whole lives. Children and young per-
sons have generally great curiosity in
relation to these tales of the imagina,
ton, especially when they are attend
ed by some gossiping nurse, whose
head being empty Of good sense, has
been filled brimful of ghost legends,
and black letter recollections. If there
is a worse condition upon earth than
that into which this monstrous super
stition plunges an imaginative child.
we have no conception of it's curdling
horrors. Never to lay the head upon
the pillow from the time it is two or
three years of age, until seven, eight or
ten, without feeling the most perfect
assurance in its own mind of, realizing
its own prophecy, and seeing some
hideous spectre before morning. This
is purgatory of early, innocent and
otherwise happy children. These mid
night horrors haunt the imagination
even to old age. They may lose some
what of their painful vividness, their
appalling Notwithstanding Of
their curdling horrors so potent in it's
impossibility- the terrors inger
in the imagination still ready to be
called up in every suspicious spot,
awakened in every solitude, in spite of
all the judgement can do or the reason
can urge. For a moment at certain
times, even to old age, the heart will
throb with painful distinctness, the
hair will become perpendicular, Sand a
disagreeable shudder will make the
blood run cold in the veins, even when
manhood has reached its prime. To
be sure, the judgment soon dispels
these unfounded fears, but they will
haunt the victims at times to his dying
day. These are some of the painful
effects of frightening children while
young. How important it is that par
ents should guard them against those
groundless terrors, exciting the early
imagination, and claiming the tremb-
hing victim to the indescribable agony
of this nervous bondage for all its fu-
ture life.

Remarkable Phenomenon.

ON Saturday last-the day of the great
rain in Watkins-the most estraordinary
atmospheric phenomenon ever experienced
in Schuyler County took place near the
residence of Issac Zero, in the town Of
Orange. 1t was of the description usually
denominated Whirlwinds, and yet quite
different from any which have hitherto
been developed in this section of the
country, being very different from ordinary
| hurricanes The rain fell in torrents during
| its continuance, and in It's effect very much
| resembled a water-spout. 1t had for
ward and rotary motion, and developed
| its greatest violence in the immediate
vicinity of Mr.. Fero's residence Barely
escaping his house and taking off two pop
| lars near his front gate, it swept onward,
as if winged with destruction, through q
pathway some thirty or forty rods wide,
| devastating everything in its course, until
| its fury was exhausted. Striking school
house, it lifted it bodily into the air, tore,
| it in pieces, and scattered the fragments Of
the wreck-some of then-niles away,
hurting the brick of which the chimney was
built backward in the direction from which
it came, while most of the materials, in
cluding the roof, were swept forward and
hurled in every direction from its centre.

The Sir John Franklin Document in
California.

We have received the below communi-
cation by express, from party in San
Buenaventura, who signs bis name, and is
vouched for by respectable firm in this
city as an honest, trustworthy man. The
communication reads as follows:
"NEws OF SIR JOHN FRAKL1N.
"Found on the beach at San Buenaven-
tura, on. the Both of August last, docu-
ment measuring 10 by 10 inches, much
mutilated requesting the finder to forwardit it
to the Secretary of the Admiralty at Lon

commercial languages. The margin and

Eedition which will be made known here
after The document was found by James
DAILY, Of the firm of Daily & Rodgers, lum-
bsr merchants, San Buenaventura.
!" San Buenaventura, Sept. 8, 1862"
That the document referred to above
may have. been found on the beach at San
Buenaventura, in, a bottle or otherwise, is
entirely probable; the next question re-
lates to its authenticity and value. So far
as its contents are given by our cores
pondent, they tell us nothing but what
McClintock's voyage discovered as long
ago as in 1869, in relation to the abandon
ment of the Erebus and Terror, except
that the records found by Mr.. McClintock
put the date of the abandonment in April,
1S4S and did not say Sir John had died.
The person who found the document, if
he believes it is not a hoax, will send it to
the British Consul in this city, and tran
scribe it's full contents for publication.
Meanwhile we give his statement for what
it is worth. Possibly some ingenious wag
has taken a hint from Hugo's LHOna,,ae qati
Rit, the plot of which turns ON the discov-
cry of bottle containing a wonderful
revelation, twenty years after it had been
thrown into the sea by sinking crew.
