Punchinello, ' the new comic paper, Is to make Us firt appear ance early lu March. There is certainly no moro dreary spectacle in life than that of a new comic paper being established. It is almost as dreary as the eight of a man perpetrating jokes on bis dying bed, or to hear a witticism uttered by the lips of a death s-neau. Just consider now many we have had and how speedily thoy have gone the way of all literary flesh that has been found not to" pay ! Mr. Stevens, however, the proprietor, acorns to be full of courage, and entertains not the slightest suspicion that ho Is leading a forlorn hope. There ought to be enough material in New York to supply him, even though Hans lireitmann be not here. If Hans Brcitmann would only give a Dutch de scription of tho CKcumcnical Council, what a big thing that would be ! I say this for the edi fication of Phlladelphlans. I haze never yet met a New Yorker that knew who Hans Brcit mann was. The Thompson Picture. Seventeen hundred of the Thompson pictures have already been sold in New York. Tho col lection was quite large enough, even after tho nude and naughty ones had been weeded out, to form the nucleus for a free art gallery. Only New York don't seem to favor free art of any kind, except the art of growing rich and spend ing money. I suspect' that what lent the chief interest to the collection was the "nude and naughty" before mentioned. They were so ex tremely indecorous that (as Uunyan tells us commentators, in his school-boy days, did with the worst parts of the heathen poets) tho naughtiest of them were hung in a private cor ner by themselves.

At this Alton Mrs. Thayer will have a benefit this evening, when The Babes in tlte Wood, Delicate Ground, and Mr. Craig's burlesque of Don Juan will be presented. This is a first-rate bill that ought to attract a crowded house on its own merits. But Mrs. Thayer is a lady and an .artist who has claims upon tho public that we are certain will obtain a cordial recognition on her benefit night. Whatever she does is well done, and in a very large range of characters she has no superior. She never was more of a favorite with tho public than at the present time, and we hope that her many friends will turn out in force this evening and fill the theatre to its utmost capacity. To-morrow evening will be devoted to the benefit of Miss Lizzie Price. At Duprez & Benedict s OrEiu House an entertaining minbtrel performance will be given this evening.

A -lrl Ntarved ta Death by Her Sinter Fatal Consequences of Hygienic Treutiuent. The case of the alleged starvation of Flora -Stoddard at Brattleboro, Vt., by her half-sister, Mrs. George C. Haskins, is one of the most ex traordinary that ever darkened the criminal Annals of Vermont, and is thus described in tho Springfield liepublican: This girl's homo was (at Worcester, Vermont, a lew miles north of Montpelier. Flora went to Brattlo boro last August at the earnest solicitation of Mrs. Haskins, and from that time seems to have been completely under the control of that woman. The latter had lust gra duated at the Hygienic Institute in New Jer sey, where she had becomo infatuated with the idea of living "bygienleally," that is, on oat meal mixed up with cold water. This theory of diet seems to have driven all else out of tho woman's mind and heart, making her a cold, unfeeling, systematically cruel being, laboring under the "best of Intentions." Luder her treatment Flora began to lose flesh and pine away, though her sister Ellen declares that pre viously she was a pretty healthy girl. Mrs. Haskins asserts that Flora was free to leave at any time, but doeliued to do so, n point which the sister and mother do not discredit. Early in November her sister Ellen visited her and found the family living on this fare, and wakes this statement: About t o'clock we ate cir breakfast, which consisted chiefly of potatoes, a bowl of raw apple" some graham cakes, which Laura told me herself she mixed with water and shortened with mashed-up potatoes without any suit, and a dish of apple sauce without any seasoning. We had the same for dinner as we did for break fast, with the exception of having some stewed beans, cooked with nothing in them but clear water, no salt, pork, or anything, and all we had to eat on them was some of that apple tauce without seasoning, instead of vinegar. Her pudding was rice cooked in clear water, was not salted or buttered, with nothing to eat on it. We had no salt, butter, milk, meat, pepper, vinegar, or anything of the kind on the table. She would not allow Flora or Clara (her child) to eat anything, not so much as an apple, between meals. . They ate twice a day. tho general time "beln About 83 A. M. and 2 P. M. Laura (Mr?. Haskins) told me when she got home from the hygienic institute at New Jersey that she was intending to allow her husband and Flora salt . and cream to cat on their potatoes, and let them live ns they have been living. But she said that Flora declared that she would not live In the hygienic style; she would starve first. . U Jicn Laura said she was bound Flora eUould live just as she did. Sho said she was quite turbulent nt firt. but she bad got to le quite docile now, and had got to be a pretty good girl, and no on. She also said she had a prettv good cow, that was the greatest temp tation to Flora f.ho had, and she Immediately Fold her. Mrs. Hawkins' treatment of F.llen was vorv rude. .Ian nary 17, tho latter visited her sinter imain and was turned out of tho house by Mrs. Haskins, without being allowed to see her. This scene threw tho invalid Flora into almost her la couching fit, and as 6hc begged to see bor sister Ellen, the latter was finally sent for. With a policeman she again npprouehed the house, mid was allowed to see and comfort her sister. The dvlng girl was lying in a tireless room, and was still fed "hygicuieally" by the half sister, who took occasion to remark that the suf ferer had given her clothes to her. Ellen at once roused the selectmen, and Flora was moved on the following day to a neighbor's, tho sheriff and doctor assisting. After the most comfortable day of the whole sickness 6ho died in the after noon. From the evidence before us it scorns unde niable that the girl died through the hygienic diet which her half sister so fanatically anil cruelly, not to say criminally, enforced." Mrs. Haskins deserves tho lunatic asylum, to sny the least, and the town and medical authorities must be very hard hearted, or they have slept 111 o' nights over their criminal ncgllgeuce.

The coninlaint whs tho ''kidneys" aud "bladder." have been sometimes from twelve to fourteen hours, and WHiited to make water every minute, and could not Have consulted doctors, botn tn Aiassacnuseits aud this Slate, and taken pills, I mar say by the quart, also liquored medicines, but found no relief from any, and got worse the last sis months. I was so that 1 could scarcely get about. I could not rest iileht or day. It would soou haveboen "all up" with me, If I hart not seen your advertisement In the Berkshire Courier, headed "Kidneys." I read through, and thought I would try it I purchased a bottle, out. miuu you, nau not mncu iiiiin in it Why should I, when I had been trying so many things aim coat me so mnchT cii I began taking It and before I had taken the llrst bottle 1 felt bitd; but I finished It and iret another. By the time I took halt of the secoml 1 still got worse (apparently.) When I walked it seemed as If my right kidney Was falling from Its place, and I felt really bad. I felt so before I had liuiHlied the seeoud, that 1 had made np my mind It wns of no use trying any more and all this time the "Buchu" was doing its worn, nut I din not Know it so I gave It up and went to Hartford on Saturday to one of the best doctors in the city. He said it was the neck of the bladder, aud I should have to undergo an operation. He gave me medicine, and I went home quite downhearted. On Sunday I was Doable to go to church. I had not taken any of his medicine, but on mv return continued using tne uaciiu," ana in the aiternoon t had the desired effect. I cannot tell you all, but this is a true story of my case, and vou are welcome to make such use of my name ns you think proper. I am pretty well known in r.crksliire; also in Connecticut.

Hdmbold, Ihvnpint: Dhar sik: 1 have been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with gravel, bladder, and kidney affec tions, during which time I have used various medi cal preparations, and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing bat little relief. . Having seen yonr preparations extensively adver tised, I cousulted my family physician In regard to using your Extract Iluchii. I did tills because 1 had used all kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite iniurlous; in fact, I despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hercaiter unless I knew of the Ingredients. It was this th'at prompted me to use vour remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, enbebs, and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phy sician as an excellent combination, and, with his advice, after an examination of the article aud con sulting again with the druggist, 1 concluded to try it I commenced to use it about eight months ago. at which timo I was confined to my room. From tho first bottle I was astonished and gratified at the beneficial effect, and after using It three weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing to you a full statement or my case at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see lr It would effect a perfect cure, knowing that It would be of greater viilue to you and more satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure Is effected alter using the remedy for flvo months. I have not used any now for three mouths, and feel as well In all respects as I ever did. Your Buchu being devoid or any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and invlgorator of the system, I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may require its uso In such affections. M.
