Under the heading OF "PsychloSicaI
Riddle" the Neue Free P,eSSc reports a
most shocking case OF juvenile depravIty
or insanity as having happened IN the
district OF Dlbersberg, near the village
of Thighs. A little boy of twelve years
old was playing in the field with two
little girls, when one of the later named
Antonio Durneder laid down and wont
to sleep. The boy, whose name was
Johann Frsisl, went up to the ch Id and
contemplated her for some time. He
then carefully collected the best material
a, hand for large bonfire, arranged
these over the body of the sleeper, and
cot fire to the structure. The flames
Immediately rose hign above the un-
fortunate child, and when the other little
r,ri saw the awful sight, she screamed
to the Young murderer to put out the
fire. But Johann took pleasure in the
spectacle, and replied: No, let Anton
ia burn; she will 20 TO the angels The
wind soon scattered the ashes ofthe burnt
child, and the despairing parents found
nothing remaining of her but some cal
cined bones. The boy is charged with
the crime before the District Court Of
DobersberS.

The Legislature.

From the Hinton Herald.
Only ten days of the adjourned session
remain, and vet little of Importance has
been done. A multitude of unlmportant
measures have been introduced, coDsum-
ing precious time that should have been
bestowed upon ether matters of vital I'M
nortance to the interests OF the whole
State.
There seems to be no man in the lower
House who has the capacity to assume
the leadership, and direct the energies of
the inexperienced members. Every
man is going it on his own hook,
so to speak, all anxious and willing to do
something, but the trouble is they don't
know how. The Senate gets along with
its business with ease and dis
patch, and will likely have DIS
posed of the most important bills
when the thirty days terminate. The
trouble seems TO be altogether in the
Hous., where everything is apparently
in confusion. The Radical members
are generally men of capacity, and are
doing all in sheir power to hinder and
DELAY legislation, with view of bring
ing the Democrat c party into disre-
putc. The whole impeachment busi-
WAS Radical trick to divide and
distract the dominant party; and
strange to say, the leaders Of our par
" So far have failed to see through this
gauzy device, and have irittered away n
good part of the session in listening to
long-windcd speeches from the managers
of the impeachment, the ruling spirits of
which are Radicals Of the deepest dye. So
far 1t is evident that the Radicals have
out.rcncralcd the Democrats oftne House
of Delegates. That is very plain. 1t Is
true. no great wrong has been done by
this legislature, but we have right to
expect something else from it than this
massive virtue of doing nothing wrong;
i ought to do a great deal of good. In
action alone is not what is needed; some
vigorous action is called for.
