The exposure OF the dongs at the Soldier Chill
drcns Home, through the complaint preferred by
Mayor West, OF Chambersburg, against Probasco,
for whipping a little boy six years of age
with dog whip, has aroused public atten-
tion. The report in the HERALD spread the
story far and wide, and there was, on the
part OF the lady managers Of the institution, de-
sire for an investigation. 1t was not their wish
that the children should be treated cruelty, but as
they are ladies OF high social position and can only
make visits, OF course, they have had to rely on
statements made by those employed about the
place. Ihe great want appears to be q resident

petent to discharge the important trust OF looking
after about one hundred and twenty children.
