BRUTALITY ILLUSTRATED.
A Brooklyn Boy Whipped to Death by
his Father,

John Fox. aged thirteen. died on Fri
day last in Brooklyn from the alleged ef
iects of BRUTAL foggiug Inflicted by his
father while Intoxicated The case was
first heard of by the police on Saturday,
when an investigation was made The
parents of the deceased were then arrest
ed aud held to await the action of the
Corouer's jury. Othcer Sweeney. of the
Ninth precienct, Was on duty 10 Hopkins
street on Saturday morning, aud several
women called his attention to the fact
that boy had died in a tenement house
No. % the previous day, under suspicious
circustauces The officers iuformauts
stated that the boys father, Peter Fox,
had been 10 the babit of beating and
kicking him, and they charged Fox with
having murdered him.
Upon inquiry among the otheir ten
ants, the othcer learned that on Tuesday
night last they were awakened by hear
lng an uproar 10 FOx's apartment, and
that they distinctly heard Fox tell the
boy to 20 out aud get some beer. The
boy refused to 60 unless his father gave
him some money, whereupOn he was bea-
ten, as is supposed, with stick until be
cried for mercy. 4 Mr. Blintznan, who
occupies adjoining apartments, states that
his wife awoke him and said, For Gods
sake go into Fox's room with a stick and
prevent him from beating that poor boy"
Blintzman refused 10 interfere. ln about
ten minutes the beating ceased, and 1t
seemed as though Fox was throwing his
son about from one side of the ro0m to
the other.
The boy screamed piteously for help,
and was heard to cry, Father, father,
lon't kill me, apparently in vain, for
soon be could but groau. The next day
the boy was not seen, and on Friday his
death was reported among the tenants
The officer catered the mans apart
ments and asked if anybody was dead
there Mrs Fox replied that her son was
dead. "Whet did he he die Off inquir
ed the officer "Oh," replied Mrs. Fox.
IN broken English, .'he fell out of the
window yesterday, and be died from in
juries received" The woman was in-
cIined to resist the officers demand to see
the body, but be locked the doors load
in- to the street aud went through the
rooms until he found the body 10 hall
bedroom Ii was 10 4 fearful condition,
being. cogered with bruises, while the
back and shoulders were livid mass of
flesh, from which the skin had been torn.
The appearance of the body was consider
ed proof positive that there had been foul
play. aud the father, who was found IN
another apartment, was at once arrested
Hi. statement was entirely contrary to
that told by hi. wife. He denied hav
ing beaten his 500, but claimed that the
latter had fallen cut OF sleigh a week
ago, aud had died from the injuries thus
sustained

THE FEET.

OF all parts of the body, there is not
one which ought to be so carefully at
tended to as the feet. Every person
knows from experience that colds, and
many other diseases that proceed from
the same, are attributable to cold feet
The feet are such distance from the
wheel at the cistern" of the system. that
the circulation of the blood may be very
easily checked 10 them. You see all this,
aud althoug b every person of sense should
be aware of the truth of what We have
stated, there is no part of the body OF
much triHed with as the feet. The young
and would be genteel footed, cramp their
feet iuto thin-soled, bone pinching boots,
10 order to display neat feet, in the fash
ionable sense of the term. Now this Is
very wrong. In cold weather, boots of
good thick leather, both in soles aud up
pers, and large enough to give free cir
culation of the blood in the feet, should
be worn by all. They should be water
tight, but not air-tight- 1t Injuries the
feet to wear un air-tight covering over
them. India rubber shoes or boots should
not be worn except in wet slushy weather.
and then taken of as soon as the exposure
to it is over. No part of the body should
be allowed to have = covering which en-
tirely obstructs the passage of the car
bonic acid as from the pores of the skin
outward, and the moderate passage of the
air inwards, to the skin. There is one
great evil against which, every person
should be on the guard, and it is one
which is seldom guarded We mean the
changing Of warm for cold boots aud shoes
A change is often made from thick tO
thin soled shoes, without rejecting upon
the consequences which might ensue.-
1t is a dangerous practice, aud many au
individual has suffered hours of illness
because of it.

An Unexpected Answer.

One Of our school trustees was taken
considerably aback the other day by an
unexpected answer from pupil he was
catechi<iug. The trustee was visiting
the school of his ward, and showing it
off with great deal of pride to a nun
Der of ladies' and gentlemen who accom-
panied him During the visit he put a
number of questions to the pupils, and
turned toward his friends with tri
umphant air at each correct answer. At
length a class iu history was called up,
and the trustee, perhaps not unwilling
to display his own knowledge as well as
that of the pupils, asked the class few
questions, which were properly answered
