A man named George Kumpfman, in
Baltimore, on Tuesday, beat his wife until
she became insensible aud fastened her up
in stable A son of the inhuman monster
gave notice to the police of the affair, and
on going to the house they found Kumpf-
man lying asleep upon bed. The officers
then visited a stable in the rear of the
house. The doors Of the stable were
found nailed, and an axe had to be procured
before an entrance could be made. The
front door was finally broken in, and upon
entering the stable the officers found Mrs.
kumpfman. She was lying iusensiblc
upon the stable floor, and it was feared
for time that she was dead. She finally
regained consciousness, aud told the Off.
cen that her husband had first beaten and
then driven her into the stable. The brute
then nailed tho doors and said he would
starye her. She had been in the cold
stable nearly four hours when rescued by
the officers. Kumpfman was promptly
arrested.

THE MOTHER-IN.LAW.

The following from the Benicia Tribune,
is a good and deserving rebuke to those
wonld-be wits who are eternally exposing
their low-bred natures by ridiculing what is
next to MOTHER motber-in-law:
''lt has come to be sort of axiom among
the Aippant quill-drivers, that when they
are out of an idea, the woman question is a
text upon which they may date, and which
they may lampoon and turn into ridlcule as
their feeble wit may serve We suppose
it is sort Of instinct which deters these
self-supposed humorists from satirizing the
woman to whom they owe their existence,
as it has never occurred to us that it was
from any sentiment of delicacy, when these
would-be wits are promiscuously hurting
their shafts at the hypothetical weakness
and foibles of the softer sex.
And thus it comes that man who would
regard it as mortal affront to be designated
as the offspring of canine female, will at
tack with the most remarkable intrepidity,
everything that is pure, holy. just, lovely
and of good report, (perhaps that is not in
the order of the apostolic catalogue) in every
woman but his mother. Why is she
spared ? Because he recognizes any special
divinity about her? or because he cares
more for ber than for any other woman
Nay, verify, instinct and the habit which
even brutes have Of respecting the rights of
parent, are to us the only appreciable
causes for this consideration.
