Home for Destitute Children.

BURLINGTON, Feb. Sd 1870.
Mr.. EDIToR.-Allow me to cali the
attention of your readers to the fac
that the "Home for Destitute Children
in Burlington, VT, is designed for the
benefit of the whole State, and although
not exclusively for soldiers children. we,
their claim is peculiarly sacred, and nj
soldiers child was ever refused admis
sion.
OF the ninety children already ad
mitted to the Home over forty have
! been received from towns aside from Bur
| lington, viz. Winooski has sent seven
Montpelier, Woodstock, Vernon and Jer-
icho three each, Shelburne, Highgate
Swanton and Shoreham two each, and
Castleton, St. Adams. Waterbury, Fer.
risburg, Milton, Bradford, Norwich, Fair
lee, Guildford and St. Johnsbury, one
each.
The managers of the "Home" deem
this statement due to the Institution on
account Of an effort now being made to
establish another "Home" for soldiers
orphans in the eastern part of the State.
Vermont has Alright to establish as many
Institutions as she will support, but is it
wise, is it judicous to divide, and there
by weaken, rather than concentrate her
energies, and by SO doing give perma-
nence to one Institution
In union there is strength, and we in
sist that the "Home" in Burlington hav-
ing been in successful operation, and
having acquired the experience of more
than four years, has the strongest claim
upon the people of the State.
This Institution is entirely free from
debt, owns ten acres of land, and build
ing of sufficient capacity to accommodate
thirty-fve children, and at moderate
cost could be SO enlarged, as to double
its numbers. In order to do this, and
to enable the Home" to meet the wants
of the entire State, plan has beer
adopted to secure Permanent Fund
of fifty thousand dollars; the principa
| to be invested, and tbs income only t,
be applied to the enlargement and sup
port of the Institution. This plan is be
ing prosecuted As vigorously as possibl
at the present moment, and about twelv
thousand dollars have been alread
pledged. Every town in the State wi
be appealed to for aid, and it remain
with the people to say whether the HON
for Destitute Children in Burlingto
shall be sustained.
Respectfully, S. G. Cole.
Cor Sec. Home for Des. Children.

SINGULAR CAsE.-On the night of the
18th instant, Miss Sarah Morris, aged
seventeen, living with her parents in San
Francisco, by some singular freak of ma
ture was bereft of sight The young la
dy who had always enjoyed good health,
at the time mentioned retired for the
night, and the next morning when she
awe Ike she was unable to see. Thinking
perhaps she was dreaming, she rubbed
her eyes, but still her eyesight failed her,
and she called for her parents, who in a
few moments became aware of the fact
that she was blind. During the day the
unfortunate person was taken to an ocu-
list, VINO examined her eyes and found
them covered with thin coating which
coating had rendered her totally blind.
Since then a number of oculists have
been consulted, but her case has been
pronounced almost hopeless; and she has
been advised to visit celebrated oculist
in Berlin for treatment.
As the parents of the girl are not in
circumstances to bear the expense of send
ing her to Europe, some gentlemen have
undertaken to raise the sum required by
subscription.

AN ELEPHANT ScENI.--The Corners
vile Indiana) Times says that during
the temporary absence of her keeper not
long since, the elephant Jenny Lind, be-
longing to the Van Amhurgh Menagerie,
now wintering in that place, determined
to free herself from bondage andexhibit
herself free of charge. Her first perior-
nance was to try if it were possible to
upset the building in which she was con-
fined, but, finding she was unaule to push
the solid masonry from its foundation,
she seized the zebra, which stood in close
proximity, deliberately lifted the fright
ened beast out of the stall with her
trunk, held him poised in midair, then
dashed him violently to the ground. Not
satisfied, one of the scared cattle shared
the same fate. Everything was in the
widest confusion lions, tigers, and all
the wild beasts, terrified by her unusual
fury, made the building echo with roars,
trying to burst their bars and escape.
Mr.. Winner, the lion-tamer, tried, both
by coaxing and threatening, to Pacify
her majesty until the return of her keep
err, but without success, and at one time
Mr. Winner says she made her chains
ting like harp-string. If she had sue
ceeded in escaping she would have in
stantly demolished the dens containing
the animals, and the damage they would
have done in the surrounding country
could not be realized. Word was in
stantly sent to her keeper, Mr.. Nash, and
he arrived on the scene just in time. Her
royal highness was so blinded by her
rage that she did not recognize him, as
usual, by his footstep; but the moment
she heard his voice, accompanied by his
terrible spear, he forced her to immediate
subsection, and she trembled and begged
for mercy most pitiably.

A NOVEL METHOD FOR PuNIsHING
DRUNKEN RoUGHs.-The Lewiston NJ. J
Journal says that not long since gen
tleman of that city was without provoca-
ton assaulted on the highway by two in
toXicated persons, one of whom drew a
| revolver and would have shot him had
the weapon not been wrenched from his
grasp. Many expected the gentleman
would prosecute the fellows for the as.
sault, but he pursued course which
promises to be more effective as reform.
atory measure than prosecution at law
would have been. As soon as the drunk.
en- fit had passed off they visited the as
saulted party and desired to settle up the
affair. Finally this gentleman proposed
to settle on these terms: Each party tc
deposit $500 as surety that they would
touch not, taste not, handle not any in
toxicating drinks for five years. If dur
ing that period they violated this pledge
the money shall be forfeited to the gen
tleman assaulted, and in addition to that
for two years their violation of theil
pledge will subject them to indictment
for the crime of which they are comics
sedly guilty. The assailants assented tc
this pledge, its conditions and the penal,
ties of the violation. One of them de-
posted in the bank $500, with the prop
err conditions attached, whose interest the
depositor is allowed to draw for fy,
years, and afterward the principal, if hi
keeps his pledge-otherwise it reverts t.
the injured party. The other party gave
deed to the gentleman of piece o.
land valued at 5000, which deed revert:
to the assailant after five years, in case
the pledge be kept, otherwise the injured
party pays him s400, and the land is hi:
own-that is, the forfeit is equivalent tc
| $500.

HISTORY OF THE RELEASING FEVER.
This disease, according to medical au-
thority, has been known and recognized
in Europe since the year 1889. In 1917
1t was epidemic in Scotland and made its
first appearance in London, where it was
studied and described by DIR. Jenner =
about the same time it broke out in Ger
many, where DIR. Virchow was the first
to recognize it as distinct from typhus
and typhoid fever. In 1855 it existed
among the British troops at the Crimea.
In most countries of Continental Eurone
aud in all tropical climates tits unknown.
The disease first appeared in America in
1874, and in 1913 and in 1850 81 it was
again noticed.

How A MAN PUNISHED HIS SoS AND
CANE NEAR Furnishing HIMsELF.-The
Milwaukee Wisconsin, of late date,
tells the follow ng singular story: Last
evening about o'clock an exciting
scene was witnessed near the entrance to
the harbor. A father had often forbid
den his boy, about nine years of age,
from going upon the deck, fearful that
the little one would by accident be
drowned. Last evening, upon returning
home, be found that the boy had disobey-
ed his order, and was playing with other
children near the rivers edge. The faith
err FASTENED to the spot, and, somewhat
excited, grasped the boy by the shoulder
and despite his cries, tied the end of a
rope about his waist and soused him in
| the cold water As he was drawing the
boy up the rope was loosened, and the
little fellow still struggling to get the
water from his mouth, fell back and
sank. The excitement of the father was
now most earnest, He fairly yelled in
agony, and would have jumped into the
river himself, had not the bystanders an
ticipated his intention and prevented
The boy came to the surface once and
sank again, came up and was about to
sink for the last time, when a brave sail
or jumped from the dock and caught
him. When the boy was taken out he
was TO all appea rance liteless, but the
father clasped the inanimate form in his
arms, Rugged it close to his breast, and
kissed the wet lips over and over again,
while the tears fairly flowed in streams
down the mans cheeks, and his sobs
could be heard by all. Carrying the
boy, and bestowing endearing caresses as
) he went along, to the nearest house, the
, little fellow was soon brought to his SEN
: ses, and the delight of the parent knew
, no bounds He kissed and embraced
the boy and the sailor and the physician
' over and over again, and when the boy
: was able to walk, still carried him in his
: arms to his home, alternately crying
e and laughing, so great was his JOY.
