A WHIPPING CASE AT NATIoK.-A
hitherto respectable citizen of Natick,
Mass, named Berry, was brought before
Justice of that town on Friday, and
fined $50 and costs, for brutally whip
ping a servant girl. 1t appeared that
Berry aud his wife obtained an Ameri-
can girl from town in Vermont, who
had been taken care Of by the Selectmen
of the place. This was about two years
ago. The girl is now sixteen years old,
intelligent, well-behaved, but unfortu-
nate. Within a few weeks it came TO
the knowledge of certain parties in Nat
lex that this girl had been severely whip
ped by the man, and otherwise ill-treat-
ed by his wife. But the poor girl, be-
ing acquainted with but one person in
the place, and she an Irish washer-wom-
an, found good deal of difficulty in fee-
ing from the wrath of her tormentors.
One day, however, she made the ac-
quaintance of lady, to whom she told
the story of her cruelty. The result was
that one of the citizens took out war
rant against Berry for assault and bat
terry on the girl. The testimony of the
Berry family was given and it was ad-
mitted that the girl had been badly
whipped on divers occasions. A stick
about yard long and as large round as
ones finger was also produced and ex-
hibited as having been used upon the
plaintiff, whose body showed marks of
violence. The testimony of the girl
was given in straightforward manner
and was not impeached in a single par
ticular. The sympathies Of the citizens
who crowded the court room we're with
the girl, and Berry was hung in effigy
on Saturday. The girl has found bet
ter home in one of the families of the
town.

Some Of the judges in St. Louis
have found it necessary to inform the
lawyers that they cannot serve two bars
at once. The recent appearance of some
of them during court proceedings has led
to this dictum.
Some of the played out denizens of
urban hives, instead of paying big prices
at Long Branch and Saratoga, should
go to Jonesboro, ILL.,, and eat peaches,
where tens of thousands of bushels are
rotting on the ground for lack of some
one to make way with them.

he has been arrested.
just because Vallandigham was a
lawyer 1t was thought that he could not
do anything, even to killing himself,
without precedent. and so one has been
discussed in story of Boccaccio's about
a girl and her lover: They we're in a
garden together; the young man raised
flower to his lips and slightly bit one
of the leaves; he fell in an instant he
was dead. She, who was accused of
poisoning the man she loved best on
earth, besought her judges to be allowed
to revisit the fatal garden, promising
that she would show them how the thing
was done. They granted her prayer.

CoLoRED PRosPERITY.-Amo the
facts and figures which never he, going
to show the growing prosperity of the
freedmen of the south, none are of a
more satisfactory character than the re-
turns of the savings bank institutions.
The recently published sixth annual re-
port of the Freedmen's Savings and
Trust Company shows that IN thirty-two
branches of the association now existing
IN the South, the balance due depositors
is-s2, 1885 II, against S199,2S3 AZ in
1866. As the freedmen, from the very
nature Of their education, are by no
means thrifty people, though becom-
ing more so every year, these figures
show very satisfactorily that they are
hard at work wherever work is to be
obtained, and are not squandering then
earnings in vicious or foolish ways.

friends of amnesty attempted to hold
the meeting. Mr.. Smyth, member OF
Parliament, Mr.. Sullivan, editor of the
Nation, and John Sullivan Byrue, an
Irishman, entered the park with large
crowd, The police superintendent, Mr.
How, standing on the Wellington mon
ument, ordered Smyth and his followers
to desist, when he was hurled to the bot
ton of the monument and barbarou ly
maltreated. A fearful riot ensued. The
police charged upon the mob, and beat
and kicked men, women and children in
Discriminatory. The fight lasted half an
hour, and the police being reinforced,
succeeded in dispensing the mob. Smyth
and a man named Nolan were badly
wounded. Over hundred were badly
injured, and have been taken to the hos

determination to prevent any meeting,
and the leaders of the attempt to-day

MORE ABOUT THE RIOT.
A later account says: A frightful scene
ensued. Men, women and children were
indiscriminately kicked, beaten, tramp
led upon and fatally injured Several
policemen were knocked down. The
rioters fell by scores. The fighting be-
came very severe. Stone were thrown
and sticks freely used by the populace.
The riot lasted more than half an hour,
during which the police was several times
in danger of being overpowered, but, re-
ceiving reinforcements, succeeded in dis
persing the mob. Forty-seven people are
known to have been seriously injured
and number fatally. Smyth, Sullivan
and Nolan, leaders OF the riot, were bad
ly hurt, and great number of the po-
lice force bruised by sticks and stones,
The hospitals are full of wounded people,
and excitement prevails in the city. Dur.
ing the riot the military were kept in
readiness for action in case the police were
unable to quell the riot. The troops
were about to be called out, when order
was restored by the police. The fight
ing extended over the whole length of
the quays. and violent EXPLANATIONS and
insulting epithets were uttered by the
rioters against the Prince of Wales and
the whole royal family. Every window
showing flags in honor and loyalty to
the Queen was smashed. Over one
hundred injured are now under treat
