A CRUEL SCuOoLMAsTER.- Worcester

Law open to very serious censurc the officers
who knowing of his'brutalities, have retained
him in their employ. In one case, by count,
torty-six heavy blows were inflicted upon boy
for some trihing offence The instrument used
for this punishment vas round leather tug,
eighteen inches long and three fourths of an
inch in diameter. made expressly for the pur-
pose When the action of the boy-whipper
was reported to the Superintendent, he stated
that he had ordered no more whipping with
the strap. About week afterward, however,
it seems to have been used again, even more
cruelty.
The same man, says Mr.. Samson. giving his
name, took boy by the name of Redgate,
for the trivial offence of speaking in the yard
after the parade was called, and beat him so
numerically that he carried the marks tor a
long time. The officers were so enraged about
it that it was for long time talked about aud
denounced. Some of them examined the boy,
and told me how badly his skin was cut. l

was cut off, In another case this wretch was
seen to 90 up to boy, not over ten years old,
in the dining room, and knock him down
three time in succession, and kick him every
time until he kicked him up again" The Spy

Marrow GAUGE. Outdone.

The Steubenville Herald speaks as
follows of new Invention: The people
of New Philadelphia and Uhrichsville
are talking of building narrow gauge
railroad to connect the two places. Mr..
Crew, of this city, is the patentee OF a
very novel narrow gauge railroad, which
he says he will put down distance Of
ten miles, and furnish with sufficient
rolling stock to put it in operation for
80, 1000, the cost of the work and ma,
chinery. If this patent can be putlnto
successful operation, and we see no rea.
son WHY it should not be, its cheapness
will bring it into very general use.
Country towns can be connected and
furnished with railway facilities for the
transmission of products and freight at
very tritling cost
of the invention the Herald gives
this description: tits constructed Of one
iron rod, three quarters of an inch in
diameter, mounted at the apex Of a pyr-
amid, with a wooden base eleven inches
in width and seven inches high, and on
thisis placed a bar upon which we rode.
With three persons seated upon it it
glided off as smoothly as flowing water.
One is struck with the cheapness and
safety of this railway. The secret OF
this peculiar trainway consists in its re-
volving fiange, which renders it impos-
sible to leave the track. In word, it
is a combination of safety, speed and
cheapness; while it can ascend steep
grades and run short curves with ease
and safety, and yet can be built at less
than one-tenth of the cost of our pres
ent railroads. Such are the claims
made for it by the inventor, Mr.. Crew,
and after seeing it in motion and inves-
tigating it thoroughly, we see no cause
for doubling all he claims for it.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Exhaustion.


Invalids, broken down In health and spir-
its by Chronic Dyspepsia, or suffering from
the terrible exhaustion which follows the
attacks of acute disease, the testimony of
thousands who have been raised as by a
miracle from a similar state Of prostration
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is a sure
guarantee that by the same means you too
may be strengthened and restored. But to
those who stand in peril OF epidemics, to all
who, by reason OF exposure, privations, and
uncongeniaI climate or unhealthy pursuits,
may at any moment be stricken down, this
paragraph Is most particularly and emphati-
cdly addressed. You. who are thus situated,
are protfered an absolute safeguard against
the danger that nenaces you, Tone and
regulate the system with this harmless me-
dicinal stimulant and Alternative, and you
will be forearmed against the maladies
whose seeds float around you In the air IN
seen. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are not
only a standard tonic and Alternative
throughout the United States, but they are
accredited by the certificates OF the most
distinguished citizens Of the Union, to the
people of all other lands. In Canada, Aus
tralia, and the West Indies, they are grad
ually taking the place Of all other stom-
achics, whether native or foreign, and as
surely as truth is progressive and demon
stration overthrows doubt, they Will even
tually supersede every other invigorant and
restorative now employed in medicinal
practice.

FROM George Alfred Townsend -
"But upon the dark visor of Morton
the strokes of Schurz raised blood
Mortons only power is in compact, te
nacious statement, executive eOrgy
the delirium of absolutism, the chilean
cry or party puppet work, and terror
ism. He is a second-rate statesman al
best, and perhaps a third-rate one. He
has learned nothing for years, except
the old weary round of pleasure with
out safety. His information is slight
his inquisitiveness without edge, his
selfishness is at the root Of his will, and
his will is exaggerated. No man can
retain a strong will without method
any more than a mill-race can keep its
force without a dam and gates. The
most powerful man can soon consume
himself by unrestrained appetite
whether for power or folly. The true
strength of the Republican party was
seen when into the crowded fold of par.
ty discipline Sumner and Schurz climb,
ed, like a couple of butchers into hog
pen. The lightest foil in the party
went after the black boar, and this was
Schurz after Morton. He wounded
him; he pricked him; he made a 81
lent howl cover his face The transpa-
rent demagoguery Of the shadow Of
The Great War Governor fell away,
as it has from many other War Gov
ernors.' and the cool students napier
beat down the bully's ponderous de-
tense.

GOOD WORDS OF WARNING.

The New York Ereniig Post, than
which there is no ADLER or more earnest
Republican journal in the United
States, makes the following statement
of the political situation and the dan
gers that now beset the liberties of the
people. We commend these truthful
and thoughtful utterances from SO dis,
tiDguished source, to the attention OF
Republicans here:
The country cannot afford any longer
the strain of bad and mischievous leg,
islation. We have gone as far towards
Capitalization as we dare 60. Exclu'
siye and unequal laws have done their
evil work in the Southern States, till
now, six years after the last shot was
fired, the South is still in turmoil, and
Congress continues to neglect its proper
work, in order to frame new restrictive
and penal codes for the States which
need only to be let alone, with all inc
qualities and restrictions removed, to
return to peace and order. Meantime
the Southern disorders make an oppor-
tunity for the secret enemies OF the
constitution, for men of boundless and
reckless ambition, to prepare the way
for the overthrow ofour system Of gov
eminent.
Doubtless many men in Congress act
in ignorance, and out Of motives of hui
mainly and generous regard for those
whom they believe weak and injured.
But behind these stand other men whom
no one imagines to be humanitarians,
whom no one suspects to act in igno-
rance; who comprehend but too well
the drift and meaning Of the unconsti-
tutional and centralizing legislation
they urge; who are preparing revolu-
ton, fostering and increasing disorder,
sccustoming the people to violent meas
ures and repressive legislation, to force
bills, and standing armies in time OF
peace, because thus their hidden plots
of ambition can be realized; because
every day which sees their ruinous pol
lev continued brings nearer the time
when they may snatch supreme power,
crush liberty, destroy the safeguards of
the constitution, and make themselves
masters Of the nation.
That is the real meaning OF the Ku-
Klux legislation. Its promoters are
the enemies of this Union, the haters
Of liberty, the secret plotters OF our ru-
IN as 9 free people. They cannot sue
iced, for the people will not long be de-
,eived.

RahherfeA.

We are informed by Mr.. Pennybaker
of Belleyille, that on last Monday night
,obberies were committed in two stores
OF that place, by unknown parties.
First, the robbers bored seven anger
holes into the store door Of Mr.. Cooper,
and pushing the inside bar aside, effect
ed an entrance. No goods appeared to
have been touched here, but the money
drawer was found on pile Of shavings
in the yard, minus $40 or $50 in scrip,
which were left in it the evening before.
A young clerk who slept in the store
claims to have heard no noise nor
seen anything OF the robbers, so sIyiy
was the trick performed. Then the
robbers proceeded TO the store OF MT
n, n. Williamson, where they pryed
open the door and appropriated to them,
selves a dozen pen-knives, two pair OF
boots, two hats, one coat, $l5 worth OF
common jewelry, lot Of pocket-books,
and two dollars and fifty cents in
change, it being all that was left there
bv the owner. After this the robbers
appear to have thrown away their tools,
consisting of three or four chisels and
augers, which they had procured by
breaking into Mr.. Benefits blacksmith
shop-and decamped for parts un-
known. Suspicion rests on two strang-
ers, who had come through the place on
Monday afternoon. and after making
divers observations crossed. over to Ohio
and probably returned in the night IN a
skiff which they took from the Ohio
shore. Mr. Parker's skiff, with oars,
having totally disappeared that night it
is supposed the robbers used it for their
PURPOSES and also made their escape in
it down the river. The strangers are
described as respectively about thirty
and fifty years of age, the latter quite
gray, both wearing dark clothes with
light pants, and carrying black travelling
bass.-PurkerS6urg Times.
