escape was James Rheal, 22 years of age, and possessed of enormous strength. He was somewhat more defiant than the others, and the Warden deoiied to have him padded. He was expected to make some resistance, and on the evening of April 19, 1877, all the keepers available were ordered to assemble in the guard room. There were torty-five of them present, and the room was packed when Rheal was brought in. He had not been told that he was to be punished in this way, but the moment he saw the array of keepers he knew what was in store for him. Turning to the Warden he said:
 "'Are you going to paddle me ?
 Yes" said the Warden, very short ly. Strip, sir, and got on the block.
 "'I I am not going to make any resist ance, for there are enough men here to eat me; but this is not lawful, and you have no business to do it, and, so help me God, I will kill the man who paddles me-
 "He was soon 1ashed to the block, and the punishment was begun. As each blow fell he bit his tongue and made no sound. At the end of the first ten blows the Warden bent down and, looking into the prisoners facs, said:
 "Do you feel strong enough now to kill anybody, my man ? and these words and action he repeated several times while the punishment was in progress.
 "After eighty.f five blows had been dealt the physician said that the mans strength was failing, and the hogging must be stopped. The lashings were accordingly thrown of, and the prison er's face was found to be as pale as death, and bathed in precipitation. He was unable to walk alone, and had tc be assisted to his cell. There he wal chained to the floor.
 In the spring of 1877 an ignorant colored convict had been up stairs to see the doctor. When he came down ht waited for the gang to which he was at tached to go past, not knowing that they had already gone out. A keeper asked him what he was doing there, and h, said he was waiting for his gang. Th' keeper pushed him toward the guard room, telling him to wait there; but tn prisoner, who feared that they wer going to paddle him, resisted. He wa dragged violently into the room, lashe, to the block, and given fifteen blow without any opportunity being af forded him to make an explanation When his object in waiting 1n the pas sageway was afterward explained, one c the keepers laughed and said, If tn fool had told us that at first, he woul have escaped being p lddled l"

The Peculiar Clergyman.

Not long since clergyman within four thousand miles of the Connecticut River resigned his charge. He was 0 preacher of more than average ability, strong original thinker, a good writer, and man of unblemished character. Soon afterward a leading member of his church, a deacon, was met by we'll known Hartford divine, and something like the following conversation ensued :
 "I was sorry to hear that Brother Blank had resigned. always liked him. He is regarded as 8 very able man, isn't hep
 "W-e-l-l, ye-es " (hesitating). "Oh, ye-es, he's an able man."
 "But he is first-rate preacher, isn't he?"
 "W-e-Ll,s ye-es; he's very good preacher"
 "Aud he's Q man of the highest Christian character, so we have always thought here."
 "We-n, yes. Oh, ye-es, he's good Christain."
 "But there must be something the matter, Deacon Why do you hesitate so and say, We'll, ye-es' has Brother Blank been guilty of anything wrong know of 8 church that I think he is just the man for, and mean to recon mend him very highly. Have you any leason to suppose that he would not give satisfaction
 "Well, Doctor" MT. Blank is all you say about him, but I'm afraid he's not calculated to make successful pastor in the country"
 "Why not, Deacon ? You surprise me very much"
 "Well, will tell you one reason. MT. Blank lived next to a neighbo1 whose hens and chickens troubled hin very much by digging up his garden He spoke of it several times, but it dic no good ; those fowls kept in his garde1 all the time. And what do you thinl he did? Instead of shooting some O. them or building high fence around his garden, he came here to Hartford and bought the best game cock he could find, and took him home and turned hin loose in the garden. The next day that neighbor heard a great commotio1 among the poultry, and when hs looked over the fence, there were all his hem and chickens lying in windrows, ant ) that game-cock walking over the bodies and growing. Now, you can't say tha that was unchristian conduct, but il was certainly calculated to destroy MT Blanks usefulness in that section."
 And when the Hartford divine heard the full extent of Brother Blank offense he roared with shoulder shaking laugh ter which might have been heard al Talcott Tower, and he said that any clergyman who could devise so efeotual a method of disposing of his neighbor'a chickens deserved an additional diploma, and he wondered what the proper letters should be and whether it sh ould be on sheep-skin or chicken parchment - Hartford C0Hr0nt.

Holding the Fort.

A widow at Dort, in Holland, who was very industrious, was left by her hus- band, an eminent carpenter, with com. fortable house, some land, and two boats for carrying merchandise and passengers on the canals. She was also supposed to be worth about ten thousand guilders in ready money, which she employed in hemp and sailcloth factory with a view to increasing her means and instructing her children in useful branches of busi- ness. One night, ill the year 1785, 8 person dressed in uniform and broad sword, came to her house and requested lodging. "I let no lodgings, friend, !" said the widow; "and, besides, have no spare bed, unless you were to sleep with my son, which should think very improper, as you are perfect stranger to us all.
 The soldier then showed her his dis charge, signed by the major, who gave him an excellent character, and also 8 passport from the governor of Breda The widow believing the stranger to be an honest man, called her son, and asked him if he would accommodate 8 veteran who had served the republic thirty years with share of his bed The young man consented. The soldier was accordingly hospitably entertained, and at a seasonable hour retired to rest. Some hours afterward, when all were quietly ln their beds, they were startled by loud knocking at the street door. The soldier being aroused went softly down stairs, and listened in the hall. The widow and her daughters, thor oughly alarmed, were rushing about from room to room screaming "murder.
 The son, with pair of pistols, joined the soldier, who, having screwed on his bayonet and fresh primed his musket, stood awaiting the result. Scarcely had the women been warned to keep out of the way, when the door was forced in and two ruffans entered. They were both instantly shot dead by the son, who fired both hls pistols at once. Two asso- ciates of the dead men returned the fire, but, owing to their surprise and confusion, without effect. At the same moment the soldier rushed upon them, ran one through the body with the bay onet, and, as the other turned to escape, lodged the contents of his piece, which he had loaded with slugs, between the villains shoulders, and he dropped dead on the spot.
 The young man and the lodger then closed the door as we'll as they could, reloaded their weapons, made up good fire, and watched till daylight. When the work-people came next morning they were mortified to find four dead men on the dunghill adjoining the house, where the soldiers had dragged them before closing the door. The bur- gomaster and his syndic attended and took the depositions of the family about the affair. The bodies were buried at 8 cross road, and stone erected over their grave with lengthy Latin inscription. The widow presented the soldier, who was upward of seventy years of age, with sum equal to $500, and the city settled handsome pension on him for the rest of his Life.

Those Useful COntluits,

The kidneys and bladder, sometimes become torpid and weakSfrom unascertainable causes. When this occurs, their discharging function is of necessity very imperfectly performed, and certain debris, which is the result of natural bodily waste and decay, does not es- cape as it should, but remains to corrupt the blood and develop poisonous humors and dangerous as well as painful diseases It is one of the beneticent effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to gently stimulate the ur- nary organs, and prevent them from lapsing into state of inactivity, always provocative of their inflammatory degeneration and de- cay. How much better, then, is it to adopt this mild diuretic as means of melting them to action, than to incur the danger of this de- struction. To eXpel from the system waste matter through the bowels and kidneys, and to regulate and arouse the stomach and liver are among the chief uses of this valuable remedy,

BAD MILK.-Sixteen persons in Brooklyn were recently made ill by the use of milk purchased at a grocery store. Analysis and examination failed to dis cover anything poisonous in specimens of the milk. Itwas suggested, however, that as the milk was pretty we'll watered, the water may have come from some impure source, and the illness thus resulted. It is fact mentioned in this connection that there are three thousand milk dealers in Brooklyn, and only one inspector employed in the work of detecting adulteratel milk.
