A Case Of Brutality.

A letter from Windsor, NY, says that
a man and his wife, have been arrested on
complaint of the womans father, for in.
human cruelt.' their child, only eighteen
months old The beating of the child
was reported by neighbor, and the faith
er proceeded at once to the house of his
daughter. He found the case even worse
than it had been reported. The child had
been whipped by its father until it was
literally black and blue from its waist
down to its feet Here and there upon its
little body were also deep incisions, from
which the blood was oozing. The cause
of this shocking treatment was given by
the father, who said the child refused to
tell him his name. Mrs. Blatchley, who
is considered an apostle and oracle among
child was possessor of an evil spirit, and
its father had been compelled to whip the
devil out of it. To assist the spirit in
making its exit from the lacerated body of
the infant according to this prophecies,
the latter had been placed upon a high
stool, without support to its back or feet,
where it had been sitting for twenty-four
hours when its grandfather made his ap-
pearance. These details seem too horri-
BILE for belief, occurring in an enlightened
community, but they are only too true
The inhuman father and mother have been
held to appear at the next Court of Ses
sions, in $500 bail each. The affair has
created an intense feelings in the com
munity, and it will probably be made
pretty warm quarters for the pure Nazar-
ties, to which sect the arrested parties
belong.

New York Dry Goods Market.

Bleached sheetings and shirtings are
active, with some tickets largely ad-
vanced, Lonsdale A being marked at Is
cents.
Prints are not fairly opened, only a
fair business having been done in medium
work. Prices depend upon the prices of
printing cloths, and these, marked now
at &c., might compel n change in prints
if advanced II l-2c. is the price at pres
ent of most of the leading tickets.
Ginghams Of the Lancaster ticket have
been cut down 70 13c., which created
quite stir in the market.
Beavers move slowly on account Of the
advance of the first OF the year.
Doeskins are moderately active and
have advanced slightly, though not at all
in proportion to cost of production.
The lower qualities are scarce and in de-
mand.
Fancy cassimeres have moved quite
freely, though buyers are not as plenty.
There is hope OF better prices, and con
siderable firmness has ,een maintained.
In light weighs the stock of low and me-
dium qualities is gettiu reduced.
Alpacas and mohairs have advanced
with the advance of raw material in Eu-
rope, and the cheaper styles, so-called.
are not in market. The demand for
Spring wear is not diminished, notwith-
standing the increase of domestic manu-
facture. The present advance Of home
products is not in proportion with the
foreign, as the former have already been
advanced to meet the staple.
italian cloths show much higher
figure, and are taken with caution by
clothiers.
Linens are active, and higher prices
will, doubtless, prevail.
Dress goods are expected to increase in
frmness.
Shawls, especially Thibets, are largely
advanced in Europe, and will sympathize
here.
Black silks are not expected to show
much difference, but fancy silks will be
decidedly higher, owing to increased cost
and demand.

A Stage.COach Adventure.

Once upon time, traveller stepped
into stage-coach. He was young man
just starting in life. He found six pas.
sengers about him, all gray-headed and
extremely aged men. The youngest ap
peared to have seen at least eighty win
ters. Our young traveller, struck will
the singularly mild and happy aspect
which distinguished all his fellow pas
sengers, determined to ascertain the
secret of long life, and the art of max
ing old age comfortable he addressed
the one who was apparently the eldest,
who told him that he had always led a
regular and abstemious life, eating vege-
tables and drinking water.
The young man was rather daunted at
this, inasmuch as he had liking for the
good things Of this life. He addressed
the second, who astounded him by say
ing that he had always eaten roast beef,
and gone to bed gloriously fuddled,
every night, for the last seventy years,
adding, that "all depends on regular
ity.
The third had prolonged his days by
never seeking or accepting Office the
fourth by resolutely abstaining from all
political or religious controversies, and
the fifth by getting to bed at sunset, and
rising at dawn.
The sixth was apparently much young
er than the other five-his hair was less
gray, and there was more of it-a placid
smile, denoting perfectly easy con-
science, mantled his face, and his voice
was jocund and strong. They were all
surprised to learn that he was by ten
years the Oldest man in the coach.
"How" exclaimed our young traveller
" is it you have thus preserved the fresh
ness of life ?"
81 have drank water and drank wine
i have eaten meats and vegetables-I
held Al public ofhce-I have sometimes
gone to bed at midnight, got up at sun
rise and at noon-I have dabbled in
politics, and written religious papers

WrrcH- A gentleman

WITCH-HAzEL. A gentleman was
thrown from wagon on to the stone
pavement. One of his arms was broken.
1t was set by a surgeon. The following
day it was found to be greatly infamed,
and in so bad a condition that amputa-
ton was pronounced necessary. His
nurse, however, insisted that the inflama-
ton could be reduced by Witch-bazei.
The surgeons were entirely sceptical on
the subject, but the nurse copiously ap-
Piled the Witch hazel, and, surely enough,
the swelling went down, and the arm
was saved.
When the fracture was healed up, it
was found to be crooked and stiff. An
anesthetic was administered the arm
was broken over again by the surgeons
and reset. This was followed by inflam-
alton the second time, and il was believ-
ed to be impossible to save the limb.
The nurse renewed the application of
Witch-hazel, with the same success as
before. Once more the inflammation was
reduced, and the arm, which had twice
been endangered, was preserved. The
patient has the full use Of it to-day.

How he Decided.

A peor Turkish slater, of Constants
nople, being at work upon the roof of a
house, lost his footing and fell into the
narrow street upon man who CHANGED
to be passing at the time. The pedes-
trian was killed by the conclusion, while
the slater escaped without material in
jury.
A son of the deceased caused the slater
to be arrested and brought before the
Cadi, where he made the most grave
charge, and claimed ample redress.
The CadI listened attentively, and in
the end asked the slater what he had to
say in his defence
"Dispenser of Justice" answered the
accused, in humble mood, " it is even as
this man says but God forbid that there
should be evil in my heart. lam poor
man, and know not how / can make
amends"
The son of the man who had been
killed thereupon demanded that condign
punishment should be inflicted upon the
accused.
The Cadi meditated few moments,
and finally said /:
ait shall be so."
Then to the slater he continued
"Thou shalt stand in the street where
the father of this man stood when thou
did'st fall upon him."
And to the accuser he added
"And thou shalt, il it so please thee,
go upon the roof, and fall upon the cul-
prlt, even as he did fall upon thy father

story to Inc the next day and no doubt to
every body he knew besides.

WHICH WAS FIRsT.-A Connecticut
court has recently had an interesting
case of survivorship before it. A man
and his only daughter we're drowned at
the same time, and the question was
his property would have passed to the
daughter, and thence to her heir, who is
her mother, but who has been divorced
from the father If the daughter died
first then the property goes to a half
sister of the father. The settled rule is,
undoubtedly, that in such cases the males
survive the hardships longer than
emales, and adults than minors

When will my ships come homo from soal
Wearys the wait, and the sad, sad longing,
With white, bright sails they went from me,
Sailed in the ruby rays OF morning.
All, what freight they were told TO bring,
And with what ardor my heart was burnin
Flushed with the rosy dew Of Spring,
Gay in the hope of their quick returning.

When will my.ships come home from sea?

Candidates for Governor.

The different political factions in
the State are busily engaged in bringing
out their favorite candidates for the Office
of governor. Each faction claims that
their choice is the most available man, and
in most cases availability is the ONLY rec
omendation the candidate can claim. To
this however there is one notable exception.
The friends of General Hartranft, can claim
for him in addition to availability, QUALIFI-
CATIONS FOR THE OFFICE, which are pos
sessed by no other man who is spoken of
as a probable candidate before the Republi-
can convention. If the Republican party
is to furnish the next governor of the State
we hope and expect that the man who will
fill that Office will be GENERAL JOHN f.
