IThe Springfield Rep3blicas tells thi,

UThe Springfield Republicans tells this
story: A certain Hampshire county farmer,
temperance man, BY the way, who 10
justly proud of his fine imported stock,
recently fancied that one Of his best milk
ers was stricken with cattle disease, aud
sent, in great fright, for the village far
rier, ne'r-do-well sort of fellow, whom
he had often lectured for his tippling pro-
pensities Dick came, examined the ami
NAL, looking grave, and asked Have
you any whisky or brandy handy !" Nc," ,"
said the farmer. Pat, run to the drug
gist as soon as possible. and tell him :
want a quart Of brandy for medical pus+
poses" When tha liquor arrived, Dick
took the bottle, uncorked it, smelt Of il.
and, taking good drink, put the bottls il
his pocket, saying: Your COW will b ~
right presently ; l have pulled thoss est
of her foo" and walked of.

How TO BORE HOLES IN GLAss.-Any
hard steel tool will cut glass with great fa>
cility when kept freely wet with camphor
dissolved in turpentine.. A drill-bow may
be used or even the hand alone. A hole
bored may be readily enlarged bya round
file. The ragged edges of glass vessels
may also thus be easily smoothed by flat
file. Flat window glass can readily be
sawed by watch spring saw by aid Of this
solution. In short, the most brittle glass
can be wrought almost as easily as brass
by the use of cutting tools kept constantly
moist with camphorized oil Of turpentine.

School DIsCIPLINE.-We really don't
see how there can be much difference of
opinion among thoughtful persons on the
subject of corporcal punish ment in the
schools. The thing is brutalizing: it is
beastly; it is nasty. The whole principle
and theory of it is diabolical. 1t is based
upon the recognition Of mere brute force
as the ultimate arbitcr of the equities and
proprieties. If the teachers aud the pupils
differ, the difference is to be settled by an
appeal to brute force. IF the teacher is
able to beat and maui the pupil until he
yields the point rather than endure futher
torture, the teachers idea prevails; it
prevails, not in consequence Of intrinsic
truth or beauty. but in consequence of his
ability to pound, and the pupils inability
to stand more pounding. What is the
effect? If the pupil yields to mere brute
force and the urgency of physical pain
when he still thinks he is right, must
become demoralized. He forfeits his own
sclfrespect-he becomes broken-spirited,
mean, unhanded, cowardly. Or he yields
with determination to get even. Thus
hate and revenge and verocity are nour.
ished in youthful breasts; or he becomes
sour, morose, sullcn. In no case can any
real benefit result from the punishment that
consists of pain inflicted on the body.
The parent or teacher who can not control
children with this vile resort IS poor pas
sionate creature, without knowledge of
human nature, or large resources, and Is
entirely unfit to exercise tho responsible
functions that circumstances have devolved
unpon him.

u The San Francisco Bulletin says
that tests made Of fir grown upon this par!
of the coast at the Mare Island Navy Yard
prove that it is stronger wood than white
oak. The durability of our fir when used
in ship.buildiny is also spoken of as some
thing remarkable. Our timber, the Bal-

~ The last time Grant was in New
York he asked man to show him some of
the places of interest, when the man took
him to look at Trinity churchyard. Grant
looked at it awhile, and after lighting a
fresh cigar, said: "That's nothing. They
have got cussed sight better looking
to,nbstoues in Galena than them things.

he, and also that it is more blessed to give
than to receive.
The doctor pronounced little Mamie s
sickness to be typhoid fever, and in four
days more the crisis would be reached.
1t was serious case," he said, but
not altogether hopeless"
Four days! That would be New Years
day. Would it usher in Joy or sorrow to
that poor father, watching over his o\ c
eve lamb?
God knew-only God!
Apart from the interest he naturally felt
in aScase of such sadness, the pure spirit
ual face of the child had strange fascina-
tion for the young lawyer.
1t seemed to lift him out of himself and
to point heavenward and so, for hours
each day, he sat and gazed upon it,
There was another visitor at that hum
bic cot of whom he knew nothing, save
that lady had been kind enough to poor
Dicks child but he had never Glanced
to meet her.
The critical period of the fourth day,
New Years." found him at his post at
that lonely bedside.
The child slept-would it be the sleep
of death !? or would she awake to renewed
life
All, terrible thought how oft has its
answer been awaited in fearful agony.
Life and death-strange mysteries of which
only God holds the key.
Mr.. Blake! Mr.. Blake" whispered
Dick, "won't you please pray? Maybe
God will hear and grant that my child
may live"
Henry could not refuse he bowed his
head and knelt down at the bedside, and in
low, earnest voice besought the Great
Giver Of Life to spear this little lamb yet
awhile.
His words ceased but still he knelt in
silent, absorbed cntreaty. He did not
hear light footstep close by, and was
unprepared for the joy so near, when a
little hand was slipped timidly into his own,
aud a loved form, he had thought never
more to see, knelt down beside him.
lie drew Susie close-close to him, and
once more bent in prayerful thanksgiving.
And thus they knelt in silence, untila
slight movement from the child drew their
attention once more exclusively toward the
little sufferer.
She opened her eyes and smiled, while
beam Of returning intellect broke over her
wan face.
The crisis was past, the child safe. So
said the physician, entering a moment
after.
Happy New Ycar!' shouted voicein
the street.
"Aye" murmured Henry, ga happy
New Year, indeed! Happy for us, dear
Susie-happy for poor Dick p! But he
shall be poor Dick no longer, for have
secured a good situation for him. So
Happy New Year"

Martin Convicted of Granddaughter In tho
Third Degree and Sent to the State Prison
for Four Years.
The most OF yesterday was occupied In the sum-
ming up by counsel Of the testimony given In the
General Sessions on Tuesday, before City Judge
Bedford upon the trial of Michael Martin for kill
ing Patrick Welsh on the 18th OF March, 1870. Pri-
soner's counsel contended that he was justified In
the act or, II guilty of any crime, that he ought not
to be convicted OF higher grade OF homicide than
manslaughter In the third degree, while Assistant
District Attorney Sullivan argued that the killing
was malicious and undesirable.
Judge BEDFORD then delivered MS charge 10 the
jury, which was listened to with great interest by
those who crowded the court room.
VERDICT OF THE JURY
The jury retired to deliberate upon their verdict at
two o'clock and after an absence OF two hours and
half rendered a verdict OF
GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER
In the third degree.
Mr. Sullivan moved for Judgment
SENTENCE.
Judge Bedford, In passing sentence, said:-
The jury found you guilty of manausher. The EVIL
demonstrates 10 mind, beyond peradventure,
that the life OF Patrick Welsh without the
shadow OF Justification and the statute prescribing the
statute inconsistent with common and just ce
should be repealed and statute passed ntcting
much heavier penalty life has been taken You
sentenced the State Prison for the period OF four
the full period.
The prisoner was removed.
