BRUTM.-Some unfeeling monster
drove into town early yesterday morning
with sorrel horse and buggy, and hitch
ed his horse just above this office on the
north side of Center street, and left the
poor beast there during the entire day,
without food drink or shelter. Sorae of
our humane citizens took rity on the
poor animal, and gave it food and water,
and ut dark, rs no one had appeared to
t.ke care of it, they procured it to be talk
en- care of at II public stable. There is
only two theories upon which such heart
hess conduct can be explained one is
that the team was left there by some
criminal who was fleeing from Justice,
and regarded the railroad as more availa-
BILE: and the other that the unfortunate
horse was the property of some wretch
who had betaken himself to a rumhole,
and there SO drowned his humanity, as
to be incapable of alternating the suffer-
ings from cold, thirst and hunger, to
which he had left his beast There is no
other possible excuse for such unfeeling
conduct.

A Strange story.

IN old CHAR Afflicted aniM Neuralgia-
Tile sitter Affected Simultaneously.
Prochaska, the eminent Psychologist,
used to mention, in one of his lectures,
how, travelling in Bavaria, he put up at a
small inn at Tetschen Brod, where, being
weatherbound, he passed his days in writ
ing. Not liking the meagre accommoda-
tions of little village inn, he begged
that at least they would provide him with
a comfortable arm chair. After some de-
lay, a large, high-backed, old leathern
throne was placed in his room, with many
injunctions to treat it carefully. lie well
coined the annexation with delight, and
proceeded to avail himself of its comfort.
Scarcely, however, had he been seated IN
it half an hour, when he was seized with "A
violent pain in the back of his neck,
which extended gradually down the
spine. These pains left him after he went
to bed, and returned when he resumed
his place in the chair next morning.
Sometimes they came spasmodically, and
forced him to cry out; sometimes they
began slightly and increased in severity
gradually engaging one nervous centre
after another, and causing intense
suffering. But all the symptoms would
slowly subside on removal from the char,
instantaneously returning when he went
back to it. There was scarcely form OF
neuralgia he did not experience. The
facial nerves were constantly the seat OF
suffering, and his sciatic agonies were
terrible. He examined the chair care
fully and thoroughly. He ripped open
the leather covering, and he investigated
the hair stuffing beneath. He tested the
varnish on the wood, and, in fact, left
nothing undone that might throw light on
the curious influence of evil this antique
piece of furniture possessed, but TO no
purpose. Nothing came of all this inqui-
si.ion, and he was driven 10 seek If the
history Of the chair could afford any ex-
PLANTATION of these phenomena. To his
amazement he learned that his landlady
had borrowed the chair from doctor in
the village. He had used il for years IN
his study, and in it some hundreds of
patients had undergone the various opera |
tions Of surgery. The well-worn arms, |
showing where agonized hands had grasp |
ed convulsively the patched leather, attest
ed the violence which had attended these
struggles. Il bought the vicious old seat,
and had it hacked up before my eyes. and |
the fragments thrown into the Elbe, said |
the Professor, 'but the lesson it taught
me have not forgotten-"-lS. Pt"t'S Na3-

QUICK TIME.-We are informed that
Stephen r. Butler yesterday turned, on
one of Atwood & Ripley's. Patent Bed
Post machines, sixty-four bed posts in one
hour. This is turning out bed posts a
little faster than we are accustomed to
hear of its being done, and we might be
incredulous had not the information came
from reliable source, and the work been
timed by the watch. Mr.. Butler chal-
lenges any Vermonter to beat this, and
says if any one reaches that point he will
try again. We hope no one will accept
the challenge, as one bed post per minute
is about as fast as any one man need to
manufacture that class of furniture.

Said Christ our Lord II win go and see
How the men, my brethren, believe in me-"
He passed not again through the gate Of birth.
But made himself known 70 the children II earth
Then said the chief priest< and rulers, and kings
Behold now the Giver OF all good things;
90 to, let US Welcome with pomp and state,
Him who is Alone mighty and great"
With carpets Of gold the ground they spread
Wherever the Son OF Man should tread,
And in palace chambers, lofty and rare,
They lodged him and served him with kingly fare
Great organs surged through arches dim,
Their Jubilant floods in praise of Him,
And in church and palace, and Judgment hall,
He saw his image high over all.
But still, wherever his steps they led,
The Lord i'll sorrow bent down his head;
And from under the heavy foundation stones,
The Son OF Mary heard bitter groans.
And in church, and palace, and judgment hall,
he marked great assures that rent the wall,
And opened wider, and still more wide,
And the living foundation heaved and sighed.
"Have we founded your thrones and affairs, then
On the bodies and souls of living men,!
And think that building shall endure
Which shelters the noble and brushes the poor
With gates of silver and bars of gold,
Ye have fenced my sheep from their Fathers
fold:
| have heard the dropping of their tears
In heaven, these eighteen hundred years.
40 Lord and Master, not ours the guilt,
We built but our fathers built;
Behold thine images how they stand,
Sovereign and sole through all our land.
Our task Is hard-with sword and flame
To hold thy earth forever the same,
And with sharp crooks of steel to keep
Still, as thou leftest. them, thy Sheep
Then Christ sought out an artizan,
A low-browed, stunted, haggard man,
And a m9therless girl, whose fingers thin
Pushed from her family want and sin.
These set he in the midst of them,
And as they drew back their garments hem
For fear of detilement, 10, here" said he,
''The images ye have made of me !"

"A Catholic Churcbman," has chosen 70
retire from the consideration of questions
involved in the several positions he had
taken. shall look for nothing further
from his pen, and will endeavor TO do him
no injustice in anything / may hereafter
say. He is not adverse to discussion; few
| candid men are but he objects TO the
discussion of religious subjects in the
columns of the secular press. To me this
seems singular. 1t looks like an after
thought, coming rather too late TO be a
valid reason for Withdrawing from the
columns of the HERALD. When Paul
appealed TO Cesar, to Cesar he had TO go.
"A Catholic Churchman" should have
kept himself out of the secular press; but
having used it for his purposes, it is
rather clever piece of dexterity, when
he encounters unforeseen difficulties of bis
own creation, To- decline attempting their
removal by Directing to the further use of
his own chosen medium OF communication
with the public.
The points raised are of general inter
est. They concern persons outside of the
churches, as well as church members.
They are therefore appropriate to the
columns of the secular press, ths only
channel by which they can be brought to
the notice of general readers. | hold

Since the 4th of March, 119 assessors
and 100 collectors Of internal revenue
have been appointed.
The President is considering the pro-
priety of supcrceding the appointment Of
Impeacher Ashley as Governor of Mon
tana. St.
Secretary Cox has ordered an inves-
tigation into the financial transactions of
the Southern Indian superintendeney.
Secretaries Fish and Boutwell, return
in few days, and on Tuesday Attorney
General Hoar goes home for week or
ten days.
Rear Admiral Smith has resigned his
place of chief of the bureau of yards and
docks, and he becomes president of the
permanent court-martial, sitting in
Washington. Capt. Dan Ammen takes
his place.
The demand for copies of the Globe
containing Senator Sprague's letters is
very great. The circulation of the Globe
has considerably increased because of the
Sprague speeches and letters. Mr.. Spra-
que and "Pet" Halstoad were walking on
the avenue together on Thursday.
Minister Motley is in Washington
waiting the return of Secretary Fish, to
receive his final instructions previous to
his departure for England. Mr. Fish is
said to have taken the opinions of eminent
New York lawyers in reference to the le-
gal points of our claims against England.
Gen. Robert Il. Lee has been invited
to call upon President Grant at the White
House, in order to confer in reference to
the reconstruction of Virginia. Gen. Lee is
now i'll Baltimore with delegation of
road, but intends visiting Washington on
his return.
The President has not fully decided to
make trip to the Pacific coast this year,
but he told a friend that he should be ab
sent from Washington u month or six
weeks in the warmest weather He is a
good deal worn, and needs rest and recre-
alton already
The Internal Revenue Department
has not yet got into good working condi-
tion. Commissioner Delano hardly shows
the executive ability which it was claimed
that he possessed, but everything is in
transition state There will be consid-
cradle falling off in the revenue for few
months, owing to large number of
changes in collectors and assessors.
"A young man who served gallantly
in the army, and who went to Washing
ton in February, hoping to obtain con-
sulate or clerkship, having failed to OBJ
tain either, although well recommended,
and having meanwhile not only spent all
his money but sold his watch, went to
work us cart driver in the employ of a
contractor for grading streets. He philo-
sophically remarks that dollar and
half day, payable every Saturday night,
is preferable to "great expectations" based
on the promises of politicians.
