A fine specimen of the traditional miser has
Just died in New York. He was a Frenchman, a
native of Rouen, and for twenty years past had
lived in seclIsion and wretchedness in a single
small room in a low tenement house. His room
within, as well as its surroundings, showed
every appearance of the most abject poverty,
but the few who ever entered it wondered that
the one small window was protected by heavy
bars, and that the door had eight locks of differ
ent sizes and kinds. This winter the old man
had suffered much from pneumonia, brought on
by the damp and cold of his cherries lodging.
Mr. Henry Bergh, whose beneVolence is not
all exhausted upon the brute creation,
found him in this wretched place, and
had him carried almost by force to st. Vim
cents hospital, where he died last Monday, but
not before be had made bis will leaving one hun
dred thousand dollars TO the society for the pre-
Vention of cruelty 70 animals. By the side of
his bed was foGnd trunk filed with gold and
silver watches, jewelry and precious stones care
fully packed away with blotting paper between
the layers. The old man, who was sixty-two
years of age at his death, is said to have owned
real estate of great value in the city, besides
large sums in bonds and other securities. A
New York paper is our authority for these state
ments, which, for the sake of the society inter
ested, we hope are authentic.

WORCESTER
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 81, 1871,

The Philadelphia Inquirer makes a special
plea in defense OF the coal swiudlers. 1t asserts
that "the real regulators OF the price of coal
have been the officers of a worthy association of
coal miners" meaning the "Miners and Labor
ers' Benevolent Association" 1t is possible
that these "oflcers" have had something 10 do
with the matter. Ii has been charged that they
are in collision with the mining companies.
Certainly, they manage the strikes by which the
companies and operators invariably make
money and swindle the public. Bat these
"Ieaders of the miners" did not accumulate
coal at tide water, o be sold at large advance
of price as soon as the strike should begin; and
they did NOT raise the tolls on the railroads, to
prevent a resumption of work. Why does not
some organ of the mining companies reply to
that card published by a committee of miners,
in Luzerne county, a few days since? They
challenge denial of their statement of facts
Whv is there no denial If the statement is NOT
true? If it is true, land we have no reason to
doubt its TRUTH all these general pleas for the
real swindlers ale inexcusable. Why has the
Philadelphia Inquirer failed to notice their state
ment?

0sgood hall, in Toronto, is the headquarters
of jurisprudence for the province of Ontario.
Her maiesty's courts of queens bench and CON-
mon pleas are held there, and all the associa-
tons Of the place SAVIOR of dignity and conserv-
atism. The 0sgood debating club is a society
of young gentlemen, lawyers and law students,
formed for mutual Improvement. The club takes
its name from its place of meeting and the
character of its exercises. This society recently
proposed 10 discuss the question, "Would it be
conducive TO the interests of Canada to sever its
connection with the mother country, and become
independen:~ and in the simplicity of their
hearts, thinking this subject would give
an uncommon opportunity for the dis
play Of their forensic powers, the mem
bers, TO dignity the occasion, invited the
great legal luminaries of the bench and bar to
b. present. But the legal dignitaries returned a
very unexpected answer. With a sensitiveness

snub these irrevernt young men III sucl

Chief Justice Richards Of the queens bench, il
acknowledging the receipt of the invitation
begged to assure his correspondent that "tht
chief justice does not doubt that he can employ
his time in a tnnr GtaEn 10 tl,o,, &,
listening TO debate on such a subject" he
suggests that other topics could be chosen that
"will be likely to yield them greater advantages

After the battle of Waterloo, the allies marched
to Paris, and enforced upon the French very
humiliatiug treaty of peace, which was dictated
chiefly by England. Their demands were that
France should accept restoration of the Bour-
bons pay 800 900 600 francs to the several par
ties to the alliance, and submit to have foreign
army OF 10000 men occupy the fOrtresses and
other points in the country, until the last install
ment9f the money should be paid. The territory
subject to the French government was lessened,
and Alsace and Lorraine would have been taken,
if the parties to the alliance could have agreed
what to do with them. The aim was to weaken
France 1t was said and believed, at the time,
that the French would seek to avenge this hu
initiation. But, when the empire was restored,
England, the chief offender, was treated as the
good friend of Nap )leon H., and became his
ally. The Germans will now get Alsace and
part of Lorraine, and much smaller indemnity
than as paid in 1915; and they refuse to inter-
fere with the reorganization of a French gov
eminent. The talk OF avenging this humilia-
ton, at some future time, will die away. Prob
ally the French care less about the terms of
peace than about the much more humiliating
fact, that they have now been beaten as they
were never beaten before. France can not now
pretend to be the foremost military power in
Europe. But, no terms Of peace can change
this fact

Not long ago jury In Syracuse, New York,
were called upon &c decide what damages the
New York Central railroad should pay for
negligently running over and killing a child.
They found yerdictin favor Of the plaintiff, the
child's father, of two hundred dollars. This
is to be considered as fixing the value of boys In
Syracuse; they are probably numerous there.
and not highly esteemed, But in the same court
another case came on for trial soon after
against the same railroad company TO recover
the vaae Of two young bears which died of heat
and close confinement while being carried from
Syracuse to Rome last summer. The jury in their
wisd )m valued these infant plautigrades at four
hundred and fifty dollars piece, and gave the
plaintiff verdict of nine hundred dollars. We
are not told whether there were more bachelors
or fathers of families on this jury, nor what
were tue elements of value which in their
minds determined the relative worth Of the i'm
mature hum IN being and the brute. It may be
conjectured that boys in Syracuse are abundant
and mischievous, while bears are comparatively
scarce, and the defects of the ursine character
not SO generally known. judging by these latest
established rates, to call a boy in Syracuse a
cub, is to use language NOT only couciliatory but
highly fattering.

A Philadelphia paper reports Henry Ward

A Philadelphia paper reports Henry Ward
Beecher as saying in lecture recently delivered
in that city:
Religion as a happiness producing power the
lecturer did not particularly believe in. 1t has
probably caused the world more pain than pleas
ure, by reason of its many drawback trials and
tribulations. Government has probably been as
bad an anarchy.
Mr.. Beecher probably did not make either of
these startling statements, and if he happened
to read that report of hi lecture, he must have

noyed, at the words which q careless or unscru-
pulous reporter had made him utter.

DEATH OF Hon. LEE CLAFLIN.-The vener-
able father of His Excellency Governor Clahn,
died at the residence of his son in this city at
seven and a half o'clock, this morning. An ac-
cident which render ed the amputation of a finger
so prostrated the nervous system OF Mr.. Clahin
that he failed to recover from the effect Of the
shock. He was born in HopkintOn, this state,
November 49, 1871, and had therefore completed
bis seventy-ninth year, having enjoyed through
long and active life the degree Of health which
is often given to men who lead, as he did, a lite
of temperance. Four years ago, Mr.. Clafin, ac-
companied by his wife, ] lined the party OF eX.
curslonists which went from this city to the IN
terror of Kansas. II SO happened that on his
seventy-hfth birthday the party celebrated the
termination of their trip on the prairies, and
honored the memorial day Of their Oldest men,
Der.
Mr.. Cla1in has been identified with the boot
aud shoe business of this state from his earliest
years during his business career it increased
from small traffic to les present magnitude
He engaged as a manufacturer in the trade, and
for many years was one Of the largest manufac-
turers in this vicinity, exhibiting that shrewd-
ness and integrity which combined to make him
not only successful, but universally respected.
He has been liberal donor to the Methodist
church, and all worthy charities found in him a
friend. In 1885 Mr.. Clafn was representative
to the general court from the town of Milford.
