Chinese Eat Horsefsh.

HOtseflesh in China has been a
great deliCacy for centuries. The in
habitants, however, for the purposes
of the kitchen, use almost exclusively
animals of small breed, little bigger
than ponies, which have thin legs
and small bones, and grow fat on
little food. They are fed almost en-
tirely on grass and hay. The meat
is sold at comparatively low prices
for this reason. Many farmers devote
their time almost exclusively to rails

The colored people in the vicinity of Nor
risville are excited over the death of boy
named Bernard Gibson aud the subsequent
developments of an inquest.
Young Gibson died on Monday, February
26th. He was well on the previous Satur-
day. After his death stories OF brutality
practiced upon him By Charles Coles and his
wife led Justice J. B. Mclaughlin, acting as
coroner, to make an investigation. He sum
moned jury and had the boys body ex-
humed and examined by a physician. The
examination showed that the child had been
subjected 10 shocking brutality. He had
been beaten 80 often that the skin on his
back had been colloused His body was a
mass OF bruises, and his neck had been dis
located by blow. The body showed That
he had been starved. 1t was in evidence
that Coles and his wife had habitually ill
treated the boy, and verdict was rendered
that the boys death was due to the brutal
treatment of Coles
Coles was sent to Warrenton jail TO await
further trial. His arrest probably saved him
from lynching, as the colored people OF the
neighborhood had made up their minds TO
take the law into their own hands when they
were iorestalled by the action OF Justice Nc
Laughlin.
Gibson was a grandson OF Coles former
wife, and had been taken into Coles family
during his grandmother's lifetime. After
the grandmother's death the brutality begen.
