CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.-On Saturday
John Florence was arrested and sent 20 iail
Tor inhuman treatment of a child eight years
old. TIE wretch had cruelty beaten and
on her back in the yard, one limb fastened
10 each OF four posts, and a piece OF wood
forced into her mouth as gag. When the
crime was discovered and the child rescued
she had already been in this torture for more
than an hour. This is only a startling in
stance OF brutality to children that is going
on around us every day. Even dumb ami
than children. They suffer constant OUT
rage, violence and cruelty that never is
known. The unnatural ferOcity of some
natures have positive pleasure In infiict-
ing torments upon unresisting and helpless
little ones. In Philadelphia and in New
York there are active societies for the pre-
ven,ion OF cruelty TO children; it would be
well for some large-hearted and humane
men 10 organize a similar one here.lBal,
