A Terrible FlagellatiOn.

WELLAND Jail on Monday morning last
witnessed, for the first time we believe, an
exhibition of the power of the ato'-nine-
tails as moral suasive agent The vic
tim in this case was one William Arm
strong, mulatto. His age is set down in
the Jail register as thirty three, but he
looks at least ten years older. He says he
used to live in Montreal, but he came from
the States here. One of his legs is of wood
having left the original away down in the
Shenandoah Valley while fighting the bat
ties of Uncle Sam. The offence by which
he became eligible to illustrate the reform
ing influence of the many-tailed cat was
that of assault upon young girl named
Sayler, at farmhouse near Fort Erie IN
December last.
The punishment took place at the early
hour Of Z 80 a. M, in the day room of the
old wing of the Jail, and was witnessed by
only the sheriff, the Jail surgeon, and the
prisoners, all of whom were summoned tc
have the fearful example fully impressed
upon their minds The cat consisted Of
nine whip cords, fastened to staff about
] foot in length, The lashes were about

A speciaI election in Milwaukee on the 22d

day; you take this one and put it right in
there"
Enoch shook off the hand from his
shoulder, and returning the ruffian's bully
ing look with one of undaunted frmness,
replied:
Il believe [ did not ask your advice on
this subject [ shall vote for Colonel
Walton. Stand out of the way if you
please"
1t was the first manly opposition that the
bully had met that day, and the words
were spoken in tone that told him he
was dealing with brave and determined
spirit. But Perkins had welded his pecu-
liar power too long to brook such defiance
as this, uttered in the ears of a hundred
men, who were now gazing at him to see
what he would do next.
"HO! putin on airs, are ye, lad?' he
vociferated, while his face reddened with
anger. "Now, say ye shan't vote that
ticket-S0n
With the words he reached out his hand
and snatching the ballot from Enoch, tore
it to pieces. With prOmptness that
amazed the crowd, and with an audacity
that made them hold their breath with
fright, Enoch seized the bully by the nose
and tweaked it vigorously, and then, with

his face with a noise that sounded like the
crack Of muskets.
The young man took two steps back and
planting himself against the building,
gathered his muscle for the onset that he
knew would follow. 1t did follow imme-
diately. Smarting with pain, and fairly
bowling with rage, Perkins made head
long rush, like wild beast springing on
its prey The spectators shuddered, ex-
pecting to see EnOch strangled in the
grasp ofthe infuriated ruffian. But he never
reached him; a terrible blow from Enoch's
fist, delivered with all the force that could
be thrown into it, fell full on his breast,
with a sound like the beat of a great drum.
Perkins threw up his arms, and with a
loud grOan fell in heap at the young
mans feet. Some Of his friends raised
him up; they saw him gasp once-and
then all was over.
'Is he dead?" Enoch coolly asked.
"Ycs-you've killed him-yOu've killed
himr' one of his late adherents ex-
claimed.
The Reed party carried off their fallen
chief; and so thoroughly cowed were they
by his tragic but merited fate that they did
not show themselves at the poll again that
day. The result was that Walton was
elected by more than one hundred majori-
ty, and rampant ruffianism never raised
its head again in that county. The next
grand jury formally investigated the cir
cumstances of Ham Perkins death, and
emphatically vindicated the conduct Of

twenty inches long, and were scientitical-
ly adorned with a couple of knots each,
for the more efficient torture of their VIC
tim The instrument appeared light and
inefficient, but the fact that its knots

that appearances in its case were decep-

The whipping-post was the most for
midable feature of the affair, and it was
not surprising that the victim turned pale
on being led to it, and fearfully inquired
if they intended to kill him. 1t wassa
stout, upright post, with a strong cross
piece. The prisoners arms were stretch
ed along the horizontal piece, and finally
tied; his feet--no, foot, for the wooden
pin defied the manacle-was fettered, his
back barred, and the tlagellation began.
The executioner claimed to be familiar
with the use of heseat, and-from the ar
tistic, regular and unremitting manner in
which he laid on the stripes, no one need
| dispute the claim At the first cut or two
| the victim ground his teeth and eonvul-
sively pressed his head against tire post,
but no other expression of agony escaped
| him. The knots on the lash came be-
tween the shoulders every time, and after
the few first strokes the flesh began ito
give way and the blood to stand out in
places where the knots fell repeatedly, as
we'll as to slightly crimson the lash.
After twenty-five lashes had been duly
administered the prisoner was united and
laid down, and his decorations washed
with salt and water and afterwards with
oil. He stood the punishment well at the
time, but was too stiff to get out of bed
the next morning. Before his release he
is to have another flogglng also of twenty
five lashes. .....,...,.... t-,...,. -

THE City of Newark, N. j., is just now
busily and rather noisily engaged in claim
ing Capt. Jack, the Modoc murderer, as
one of its former citizens The Newark
papers claim that few years since there
dwelt in the Thirteenth Ward a number of
half-breeds who gained a living by we'll
digging, and that one of these had son
named Jack, who was noted as a rufiian
and desperate of the worst sort, and who
went West some years ago. 1t is asserted
by those who knew him that the personal

A SPRING GROWL.


Bye P. CRANCH.
WOULD YOU think it? Spring has come.
Winters paid his passage home;
Packed his ice-bOX, gone half way
To the Arctic pole, they say.
But know the old ruffian still
Skulks about from hill to hill,
Where his freezing footsteps cling,
Though tits Spring.
Heed not what the poets sing
In their rhymes about the Spring;
Spring was once potent queen
RObed in blossoms and in green.
That, think, was long ago;
Is she buried in the snow,
Deaf TO all our CarOling-
Poor old Spring?
Windows rattling in the night;
Shutters that you thought were tight
SlamnIng back against the wall;
Ghosts of burglars in the hall;
Roaring winds and groaning trees;
Chimncys shnddering in the breeze;
Doleful damps in everything
Such is Spring.
Sunshine trying hard awhile
On the bare brown fields to smile;
Frozen ruts and slippery walks;
Gray old crops of last years stalks;
ShiVering hens and moping COWS;
Curdled sap in leafiess boughs,
Nipped by winters icy sting
Such is Spring.
Yet the other day heard
Something that thought bird.
He was brave to come so soon,
But his pipes were out of tune
And he chirped as if each note
Came from flannels round his thtOat,
And he had no heart to sing
All! poor thing.
IF there comes little thaw,
Still the air is chill and raw.
Here and there patch of snow
Dirtier than the ground below
Dribbles down a marshy flood
Ankle-deep yOu stick i'll mud
In the meadows while you sing
This is Spring"
Are there viOlctst n the sod?
CrOCuses beneath the ClOd?
When will BOreas give us peace
Or has Winter signed lease
For another month of frost,
Leaving Spring to pay the cost?
For it seems he still is king
Though It's Spring.

RELATION OF DIET TO HEAT AND Work.
We have said that the heat-produrillg power
Of ailments will be the more considerable in
proportion as they contain greater quantity
of elements that need Il largc supply of oxy-
gen for their combustion Therefore, meat
and fats repair the losses Of the system much
more speedily than vegetable substances.
The latter are suitable for the inhabitants of
warm countries who do not require to pro-
ducc hear, which the atmosphere supplies
them with ablndanlly. The inhabitants Of
cold regions, on the contrary, whose uc-
crssions of heat ought to be as continual as
energetic, arc urged by instinct to use meats
and fats, which throw out green heat in their
combustion. For instance, it is a physio-
logical necessity that the Lapps should feed
GA the oil of cetacea, as it is Il necessity for
men of the tropics to consume only very
light food. The activity Of respiratory conl-
buStion and tie kind Of Authorization thus
vary With climate. so that there is always a
certain proportion maintained between the
thermic state of the surrounding medium
and that of the animal furnace. In like man
ner, in the same climate, persons who per-
form great mechanical labor must eat more

sufficiently in view in the management of

the benefit that industry would derive from
increasing. in all possible ways, the amount

Under the influence of dict almost wholly

adopted The average loss for each man per

it must be owned, alcohol is only the work
mans means of remedyins the want of heat
producing elements in his food-a deeeltfll
remedy, which buoys up the system for
time, only to sap it afterward with alarming
subtlety. One Of the best preventiycs OF the
