Hanley-A strange case of cruelty came
before the stipendiary magistrate this morn
ing. An elderly woman was charged with
~assaulting her niece. The allegations were
That the1 child had been beaten with undue
severity until she was much bruised, and she
was washed in turpentine and salt, causing
great agony. The defense was a denial, and
that the child was incorrigible. The Bench,
commenting on the undue severity of the
punishment, imposed a fine of Is and costs.
Northsmpton-At the Police Court to-day
John Old was summoned by the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals for
gross cruelty to "A dog. The evidence showed
that the prisoner had brutality ill-treated the
animal. He was seen to dash it against the
stones and kick it repeatedly in the streets.
He afterwards severely WOUNDED it by str;k-
ing it with a shovel. He was about to bury
it while still alive, but was prevented. The
animal died soon after from the effect of the
prisoners i'll usage. Old was sentenced to a
months hard labor acithout the option of a
fine

The Tobacco Convention.

The proceedings of the Tobacco Con.
vention held at Barnesville on the 4th
inst, will be found in this issue of The
SPIRIT. M
After careful reading Of the resolu-
tions we are impelled to think, If not be
lieve, that Baltimore influences captured
the convention.
The idea of asking the Legislature to
change the law so as to make the Office
of Inspector salariei one, in the face
of the fact that but so has ever found
its way to the State Treasury, in the way
of revenue, since the erection of the
Warehouse, is not good nonsense,
No Legislation can be had, and it is
not safe to ask for any, until it can be
shown by payments into the State Treas
ury that the Warehouse is likely to prove
source of revenue to the State. A let
ter before us from prominent member
of the Legislature, and who ardently de-
sires the success OF the Warehouse,
says:
"Wheneverthe Warehouse is proved
to be a success, all needful legislation
can he had, i think, without trouble"
s.Under the circumstances itwould not
be best to interfere with the law at pres
ent."
Further on our correspondent says
that it was the opinion of others there
that it was unsafe to attempt to amend
the law now, owing to the prejudice ex-
isting against the enterprise.
The Convention should have resolved
to ship to the Warehouse without any
offs" or "ands," and dealers haze in
formed US that had that been done fully
three fourths Of The crop in West Va
and Eastern Ohio, representing a major.
ity of dealers, would have been shipped
to the Warehouse. The action taken is
calculated to leave dealers in doubt
They don't know what to do, alter read
ing the resolutions.
/ Our advice to the Inspector is, secure
the signatures of dealers to an article in
which they bind themselves to ship tc
the Warehouse, and we believe that ar
energetic effort in that direction would
result in three .fourths of the crop going
there for inspection And with tha
amount there buyers would be compelled
to come out from Baltimore to make
their purchases. Drop all questions o
changes In the law until the institution
has been fairly tried one year and ther
agitate them, if it is thought best to dc
80. IS
