The Chamberlain Case.

To the Editor a5 The Tribune
Chicago, JAM o5.-1 noticed ~ article In your
paper to-day which does q patient OF mine an
injustice, as the following statement will show !:
On last Thursday evening about 6 o'clock a
young man rushed into ms office wanting doc
tor to attend bis mother at 14S West Monroe
street, who was injured, having wound in the
head. asked him where the wound was, and
he said Here,n pointing to about the centre OF
the forehead. l told him the skull was very
thick there, and to ouet down, that it might he
only a flesh wound. ! went over to his
home, and found his mother, Mrs. Mary Cham
three inches long, cut through to the bone.
dressed the wound, and, on leaving, Mr.. Cham
bcrlain stated that he wanted to show me where
she had fallen; so he rook light, went ont on
the sidewalk, and there was pool OF blood.
then started for my Office. called yesterday
ment: That herself anu husband went out for
a drive to Central Park last Thursday after
noon, leaving home about 3 o'clock, and re-
turned between and O'Clock, and drove up
to the sidewalk, aud Mr.. Chamberlain drove
around to the barn., which IS in tue rear
OF the residence. She was hit with some
weapon On the forehead, and knocked scnseless
and robbed Of Sts0 in money, which was in
pockct-book in the pocket Of her dress. It also
keys to box in Fidelity Safe Depository; also
some valuable papers, which are of no usc cx-
cept IT, the owner. When alr. Chamberlain
came from the barn be found her scnselcss on
the sidewalk, and carried her into the house.
The Chemberlans are highly respected family,
always mind their AVN business, and hare re-
sided in this city for TWENTY-FIVE years. und it IS
my opinion, from tile appearance Of the wound
stantiated, that she SHE was hit With s]ung-
shot and knocked senseless, and. should the
o1ow have been on the temporal bone, she would

THE VILLAGE-SEXTON,

The day is done, the sun is down,
The dismal night is drawing nenr;
Across the dark fields, from the town,
The tolllng bell hear.
Another soul has passed away.
Another heart will beat no more;
The village-se1ton died to-day
His earthly toll is DER.
The hands that tolled the bell SO long
Are folded on his 1ifeiess breast;
lie soon will sleep amid the throng
lie helped to lay at rest
His hair was gray. his form was spare,
lie had grave and solemn mien,
AnI, mid its many lines of care,
NO trace OF mirth was seen.
A rusty suit OF black he wore;
Each Sabbath morn he used to stand
Behind the ancient entry door,
The bell-rope in his hand.
he rang the merry marriage-bell
Ihai welcomed home the new-made bride;
He tolted the SLOW and solemn knell
When dearlS-]osea ones died.
When Winter-w,nds blew Keen and ehriI1.
When Snmmer-roses were in bloom,
He drove the dark hearse, Ger the hill,
That bore them TO the tomb
The bell will toll he oft hath tolled.
And worldly customs be the same,
While other hands will heap the mold
Above his lifelees frame.
We all must dle-'tls vain to weep
The proud, the Door, alike must fall:
Beneath the sod we soon will sleep
The Reaper claims us all,

CHICAGO, Jan. A.-1 saw in TIE TRIBUNE a
lew days since an editorial advocating change
in the Patent law so as to permit any one to
make and sell patented article br paving \
royalty to the inventor. think q critical ex-
animation will convince you OF the error of this
view. In nine cases out of ten an inventor is
destitute OF business tact and financial resources
"nen these elements are combined he is
sure to get the benefit Of the protection afford
ed oy the Government, when, without any,
tnlhe except genius, the business man aud can
1tallst VINO supplement him need some protec-
tion. After an idea is conceived it often re-
CURES large amount OF money to perfect the
Invention, and then, if the article is new ereat
expenditure must be made to educate the pub
nc on its use before profit can be realized, If
any one could then step in and handle the
eooos there would always be fools enough to
pnt prices at SUCH q figure that the original
plant never could be realized. Experienced
capitalists will seldom invest in a patent for
speculation, but they will with q prospect for
permanent and profitable employment OF their
money. II is true that gross abuses have grown
up undcr Tie preseut Patent law. When rreat
interests arc at stake powerful parties often
9ota1n subsidiary patents, and then by costly
ltlgat1on aud competition force the original in

clP1l damages ought 10 be provided against
ln1rineers, and this class OF piracy placed 0n fhe
