LAST night we received the following astonish-

LAST night we received the following astonish-
ing report from Greencastle:
'GREENCAsTLE, Ind, Oct IA collection for
the benefit of charity school at Indianapolis
was taken at the close of the morning service at
College-avenue Church to-day. Professor j. ..
Ridpath, who presented the claims of the school,
stated that he had been informed that the school
composed of some forty children between
the ages OF three years and six years, living
across the canal, who were worse of than or
phans, and subsisted on one meal "a day, the ag-
gregate cost of which for the forty children was
the paltry sum of fifty cents. Such being the
depl0rable condition of the little folks, he
thought a small donation for their benefit would
be i'll order. The collection being taken resulted
in raising about SIS, enough to give the children
ready to lend helping hand to the poor of the
larger cities"
OF course, any one of ordinary sense would
know that such a statement was a ridiculous
and palpable lie, and if the people of Green
money upon such represen tatons they have
been swindled. There is no such school in In
dianapOlis; no charity school, or any other,
where meals are furnished, or wherein scholars
"subsist' one or on any other number OF
meals which cost fifty cents or any other
number of cents. There is school
across the canal, where a luncheon has been
served to attract and hold the attention of
scholars; but the absurd idea that any lady in
Indianapolis is conducting a charity school
with starving scholars would receive no Gre
dence in sane community if they would stop
long enough to think about 1t. We are inclined
to believe that Professor Ridpath has been
grotesquely unsupported in the dispatch
