sick.
Joel 81. Clark of Augusta, was before the
police court o. that city on Friday, for inhu-
manly whipping his adopted son, about nine
years of age. The little fellow had run away
from home to neighbor's house, remaining
three or four hours, and the next morning the
brute, Clark, dragged him from bed and
whipped him in most cruel and shocking
manner. His back exhibited horrible spec
tacle, being covered with swollen ridges and
red marks. In this case he was fined So and
costs. The boy was sent to the almshouse,
where at least he will be out of the way of his
cruel father, says the Journal.

attempt was made to enter the dwelling house
No Fore street. occupied by Joseph Griffin
and Thomas O'Connor. The attempt was made
on the part occupied by Mr.. o. Connor, who is
absent from the city. The rascals first tried
the lower windows but failing there they got a
ladder and tried the upper windows, but did
not succeed. They also tried to get in by the
back entrance but failed. The marks of their
footsteps were plainly visible yesterday morn
ing about the windows and around the house.
This same house was entered last Decenber
and robbed of $1475, belonging to John Griffin.

CUMBERLAND County MEDICAL SocIRfY.- -
The thirteenth session of this Society was held
in this city Wednesday, DR.. ]. M. Dlics, of
Yarmouth, the President of the Soc.ely, in the
chair. DIR. s. H. Weeks, of Portland, of1ciat-
ed as Secretary After the transaction of some
routine business, Dr. Hunt read paper on
the therapeutic effects Of bi-sulphate of soda.
The subject being open to the meeting it was
discussed by Drs. Gordon, Thayer, Small, De-
Wolf. Foster, Buzzell and Merrill, of Fort
land, and Bates, of Yarmouth, and Hall, OF
Cumberland Centre. The discussion took a
wide range, and the effects of the bi-sulphate
as a remedial agent in typhus fever, searletina,
erysipelas, and as a local application in certain
forms of skin diseases, were presented by the
speakers. The discussion consumed the morn
ing session.
AFTERNOON SESSION
At o'clock the meeting was called to order
by the President.
DR.. Shannon, of Cape Elizabeth, read pa
per on the subject of intestinal obstruction.
As this was a subject of much interest and i'm
portance to the profession, free and full dis
cussion followed the reading of the paper. In
addition to the members present at the fore
noon session, Prof. Robinson was present, and
made some interesting remarks, in which he
referred to the change which has taken place
in the general plan of treatment of these affec-
tions within the past twenty years.
Nearly all the members joined in the discus
sion of the subject, which occupied the entire
afternoon.
On motion of DIR. Foster, committee Of
three was chosen by the President to make a
selection of such papers as are of special inter-
est, now in the hands of the Society, and pre-
sent them to the Maine Medical Association
for publication Drs. Foster, Buzzel and
Weeks were chosen to form that committee.
The Secretary was requested to notify the
other County Societies of such action, and ask
them to take like measures if they deem il
best.
The subjects for the next meeting were an
nounced by the President: Crural Phlebitis,
Prot. VIM. @. Robinson; Keratitis, DR.. G. II

A NEW PARK.-And why not? We see by
signboards on the lot where the international
Hotel stood in front of the City building, that
this land is for sale, and at reasonable price.
Now if the owners of the lot where the Post
Office building stands will sell that at fair
price-and the presumption is they will
would it not be well for the city to purchase
both lots and turn them into small and
beautiful park? The expense would not be
great and such park, with the pure waters
of Sebago bubbling up in its center, would be
an excellent pleasure ground.

GEN. GRANTS APPOINTMENTS The Pres
ident has appointed no relative of his own to
any office whatsoever, unless it be Silas Hud-
son of Iowa, Minister to Honduras, who may
possibly be cousin of the President, but
nothing nearer General Grants father, now
Postmaster at Covington, KY, was appointed
to that position by President johnson. Prof.
Kramer, now Consul at Leipsic, who married
General Grants sister, was appointed to that
place, believe, by President Lincoln. Inc
President has appointed two brothers-ln-iaw
of Mrs. Grant to positions under MIN, VIZ
Mr.. James T. Casey, to be Ooilector oi the
port Of New Orleans and DR.. Alexander
Sbarn who was appointed Postmaster at Rich
mond Inv Mr.. johnson, to be United States
Marshal for the District of Columbia The
latter Office has always been regarded as part
of the official household of the President, and
il has been the custom to ap oint some rela-
tive or intimate personal friend to the posi-
ten; thus Mr.. Lincoln appointed his former
partner and warm personal friend, Mr. La
mon, and MI. johnson appointed his personal
friend, Mr. Gooding.
Mr.. Lincoln also appointed Mr.. Todd. his
wife's brother, to be Governor of Dakota. and
those who have abused both the President and
his brother-in-law, General Dent, because OF
the confidential position the latter now occu-
pies IN the official household, seem to have
very short memories, or they would remember
that Mr.. johnson appointed hts own son to be
Private Secretary, and that Mr.. Buchanan ap-
pointed his nephew, Mr.. Henry, to the same
position. The comparison might be extended
to the benefit of the President if it was at all
necessary.-N Y. Times

SICK OF SUPPORTING GRANT.-Anybody but

They thought they could Tyerize, or, in mod
ern phrase, Johnsonize him. The experiment
has failed. As many as ten "niggels" have
been appointed to office, and now we see it an
nounced that at the next session of Congress
Tue democrats will proclaim war to the knife
