The Ferocity Of BenevOlence.
New York Uerald.l

There is scarcely any class Of outrage tina
more naturally and properly excites the indig
nation of right-mnded people than that OF
cruelty to Chi dren of the sort Of which one OF
our charitable institutions has just been the
scene. An athletic wretch, left to administer
machine benevolence, switches into his grave
poor little boy of five years, helpless crea-
ture out OF the city streets As the testimony
taken before the Coroner shows, he beat th..
naked child for five minutes with rattan; and
as he was in a violent temper it is readily
enough conceived that such a creature, at once
brutal and ignorant laid the blows on with all
his might. Then the child was put into Il
bath, and when he came out, and while yet
Naked he was beaten again. Such punish
ment for such a subject is as If full grown
man should receive on his bare back about
two hundred and fifty strokes with cato
nlne-tails. Not one man i'll a hundred could
survive such an inf1icton, and We need not
wonder that this baby did not survive.
With surface peculiarly susceptible to irri
tatiou and a nervous organization incapable OF
great resistance, boys like the one just killed
are peculiarly likely to be the victims of such
catastrophes, and it is disgrace aud 4 scandal
that the institution supposed to have the
countenance of this community could be in
charge of a man who did not hnow this, or,
knowing, was savage enough not to heed il.
The establishment in which this event has oc-
CURED Is one OF those traders on popular be
nevolence that We felt called upon to expose
last winter and this case OF terOcious cruelty
is an evidence o. the spirit in which it admin
listers charity. 1t collects money from the
public tor its schools, spends the greater part
III salaries on the relatives of the Superintend-
ent, of whom the present culprit is reported
as one, and if any innocent child whose i'll
health subjects him to Il diSagreeable intrmty

until he leaves or dies under the bows and this

| CRUELTY IN New YORK CHARITY SCHOOL,
In New York, on Wednesday, Joseph n
deriche, aged five, died at his parents resi-
dence from the effects of castigation he had
received on Monday at the Five Points House
of Industry 1t appears that the boy was a
pay scholar at the institution, which is a
charity and pay boarding school, and for some
intraction of the rules Of the institution he
was beaten with rattan by teacher named
Charl Bar ard, brother of the Superin-
tendent. DR.. McWhlnnie heard the history
of the case from the physician who attended
the boy; he made post mortem examination,
finding the lungs, liver, spleen and brain in
tensely congested, large patches on the legs,
hips, back and all over the surface of the
body From the history of the case, fur
nished by the boys physician, and from the
conditions revealed by the post norton exam
nation, death, in his orinion, resulted from
commissions due to the shock produc. by the
castigations received at the hands OF Charles
Barnard. The latter was arrested and sent to
Jail The coroner is still taking testimony in
the case.
Mr. Farnsworth, an American gentleman
connected with the Missionary Society in the
Levant, not long since completed journey
Of over 300 miles through Cesarea. His let
tiers disclose the horrors of the famine which
has been and is still ravagins that country.
1t is estimated that at least 10000 persons
have died from starvation. Whole districts
have been depopulated. Many houses have
been burned for fuel. At the town of Yozgat
he found the streets crowded with starving
people of the Surrounding villages. s me
were striving to sell for little Tread their
last copper kettle, or bed or blanket; but at
Soongoarlou things were even wor>e. Bodies
Of victims from starvation were left in the
streets for days unburied. In one village of
fifty or sixty houses, Mr.. Farnsworth was
assured that more than one hundred had
already died from starvation and in travel
ing distance Of twenty miles he passed
through six villages, five Of which were with
out single inhabitant, while the sixth had
only three families left out of thirty, and
these districts have hitherto been fertile and
prosperous.
