A Cat in England.

The London Daily Telegraph of July
22, says:
Two garroters named James Debuss,
aged twenty-one, and Charles Lewis,
aged nineteen, yesterday underwent the
punishment of twenty-five lashes each
from cat -o-nine tails, in the Jail of
Newgate. The prisoners we're tried at
the Central Criminal Court, before Mr..
Commissioner Kerr, upon several
charges Of robberies in the streets, ac
companied with personal violence. AS
regarded Debuss three previous convic-
tlons for felony we're proved against him
lie was sentenced to seven years penal
servilude, and the other prisoner, Lewis,
against whom no previous conviction
was established, was sentenced to FIVE
years, and both we're ordered in addition
so receive twenty-five lashes. Ever
pince their conviction both prisoners ap-
feared to have felt the utmost dread at
the prospect Of being hogged, and the
sentence of penal servitude did not seem
to have nearly as much terror to them as
the thought Of the bodily suffering they
were to experience. Debuss was the 6rst
who was fastened to the whipping-block.
He was only thin STRIPPING, and his skin
appeared very thin and white. At the,
first lash there was broad, angry red
mark all across the shoulders, aud the
prisoner began to shrek and entreat for
mercy in tones OF the utmost anguish.
At every lash his cries seemed to in
crease, and in piteous tones he entreated
the warder to have mercy. Two
warders were employed to inAict
the punishment, and they went
about their work in very cool manner
aNd, of course, the entreates Of TIE cul-
prit fell upon deaf ears. The stripes
came down leisurely and the chief warder
called out the number otter each until
the whole were inflicted, Debuss gave
deep sigh Of relief when he was taken
down, and he was at once removed to his
cell. The other prisoner, Lewis, although
the younger OF the two, bore his punish
ment with greater fortitude than his com.
panion, although he shrieked and cried
piteously while the sentence was being
inflicted They both received the full
measure Of chastisement, and there was
no doubt that they suffered very severely.
The only persons present were Mr.. Sid
ney Smith, the Governor of Newgate,
Mr.. Gibson, the surgeon, one or two Off
cials Of the Jail, and some representa-
tives Of the press. 1t is fact that is
not generally known, that the whipping
block now made use of is the same in
strument that was used more than half
century ago, when prisoners, for certain
ofenses, were Aogged in public in the
yard of the Sessions House, in the old
Bailey. The punishment having been
abolished, the whipping-post was laid by
as useless, and slowed away for more
than sixty years, till, under the recent
change of the law, as regards the offense
OF garroting, it again came into use.

The DoWn.HIIl Side

On the down-hill side of life the constitu-
ton is beset with infrmities for which Hostet-
ter's Stomach Bitters is the best of all rene
dies. Invigoration is the most reliable means
of resisting disease, and is particularly neces-
sary at a period Of life when the decay of the
physical energies renders the system less able
than formerly TO resist its attacks. The cheer
ing warmth which this prime tonic stimulant
difuscs through tho chilled veins, the un-
wonted steadiness which ii gives TO the totter-
ing limbs Of age. the prompt relief which it
affords from those maladies which are most
common in the decline Of life, constitute il an
inestimable blessing to the old and infrm.
Among the testimonials to the excellence Of
this most salutary medicine of which its pro-
are received from persons Of advanced age.
who speak with unmeasured praise Of its
qualities as an lnyigorant and preventive.
