UNNATURAL BARBAITY.
Rru,s, r.c.,,.eut ora Little Child.

r On Yesterday morning Catharine Bean, wife
| Of Riley Bean q shoemaker who lives on Union
street, between State and Crozier, was arrested
on warrant issued by the Recorder charging
| her with cruelty chastising a little boy, her
step-son, and brought before that official for
The child. Burrel Bean, who is only nine
years old, was also brought in court and his in
| juries examined. He had been whipped from
| his head to his heels and presented most pitt
| able sight, his body being covered with welts
and bruises, the marks of recent beatings while
his arms bore wounds inflicted, he says, by the
teeth of his step-mother in her un-
natural rage, and his hands were
swollen to twice their natural size by the bites
inflicted by the rabid woman; or we should
say, savage embodiment of ferocity in female
FORM for none having any womanly feeling in
their breast would indulge in such as was evinc-
ed by the scars and marks inflicted on the un-
fortunate child. The swelling was so great that
he could not pull his coat sleeves over his hands
without causing great pain, and IN addition to
the blows and bites inflicted, with refinement
of cruelty not often witnessed, thank God, the
little fellow driven out of doors in the pierce
ing cold, smarting with pain to endure double
torture from the lnclemency OF the weather.
Yesterday morning, when the officer went
down to arrest Mrs Bean, he found the boy out
of doors, so cold that when brought in to the
fire, the heat was painful. Coming up Gay
street she called by his place of business for her
husband, who accompanied her to the Record
err office and after the trial, she was fined $50,
the extent allowed to be imposed, and which is
rarely done, except in cases of an extreme ma
ture.
Riley, the husband, we understand, wished
Mr. Burrel Badgett to go his security, but that
gentleman positively refused to do SO, and Bean
had to seek aid in another quarter.
Witnesses state that Bean and his wife have
often whipped the child cruelty, and we were
told that Bean threatened to fog him whenever
they chose notwithstanding the fine, but the
officer to whom he addressed the remark gave
him a significant warning that repetition of
his brutality would be highly unwhOlesome.

Wealth i'm Marble.

1.-THE marble uuarries of Vermont are literally
mines of wealth. Some of the mills in which the
marble is sawed are valued at 100000; they are
operated by both steam and water power, and
more than 200 men are employed. "-ET.
So it is as regards every source of wealth. and
the secret of it is population and a ready access
to market for the commodities of any country
Here in East Tennessee there are the finest de-
posts of marble in the world, equaling that OF
Paros and Carera, as well as the rare and beau
tiful variegated variety; rare everywhere else,
but here so plentiful as to be used for the COM
monest purposes, either broken IN fragments
and put on our macademized roads or roughly
shaped as curbing for sidewalks
The finest marble in East Tennessee, Is, per-
haps, to be found in Hawkins county, with an
abundant though unimproved water power, and
the latter is equally true throughout our whole
mountain country, But marble IS not confined
to any one county, by any means; only a few
miles from Knoxville quarry Of superior stone
has been opened, which is being put in shape by
skillful hands for the custom house, and it Is
known that only the best material is used in the
construction of such buildings.
But notwithstanding our unequaled natural
advantages for lack of dense population, we
suffer them to lie idle and unimproved, while
other less favored sections grow rich by the
manufacture of those articles we have in such
lavish abundance, with all the adjuncts neces-
sary to their complete development and making
of them mine of wealth more desirable than the
golden lodges of Idaho or the sands Of California,
for there flock the desperate and the ruffian,
while here with population and capital at their
back would be found community on community
of industrious artisans and laborers of all kinds,
dependent on the farmers for their products,
who in turn would be vastly the gamer, by
being enabled to sell their surplus at their very
doors for far more than is now realized by ship
ment with the risk that always attend CONNER
cial transactions.

Correct Market Reports.

Considerable comment was occasOned in
business circles yesterday by a material discre-
pancy in the New York Money Market Report,
as published in the CHRONICLE, and as given
in the Press and Herald.
The correct report, as given in the CHRONICLE,
quoted gold at 81 .O85a109, while the Press and
Herald gave it $L096a1094 Tennessees, as cor
re city given in the CHRONICLE, were at 62, while
tn ey were reported in the Press and Herald at
65. South Carolinas in the CHRONICLE were
48l, new %, while in our contemporary they
were given so; new 81.
Mistakes will eneritably happen and some
tim es in the press of Geographic matter at night
our markets are not corrected, but when this is
the case the date of the report will show when
made, and it will be found correct for that day.
We do not change dates of reports unless we
correct the reports themselves. EI+F

Diseased LUNGS ARE GREATLY ON AN In
CREASE IN THIS COUNTRY. - The sudden
changing of weather has done much to give rise
to Consumption. But there are thousands of
cases who bring it on by their own i'm
prudence-such as wearing damp clothing, and
going from the warm room into the cold air,
and checking the perspiration, which causes ir-
ritatiOn of the Lungs, and then matter or
phlegm will collect which nature will try to
relieve by coughing it up to prevent pustules
from forming. If nature does not raise the
matter with ease, and stop this inflammation,
tubercles will soon form, and Consumption will
soon follow. Aliens Lung Balsam will cure
and prevent thousands of cases of Consumption
if it is only taken in time.

This will be most important line to our city
