BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A CHlLD.—Before
Ald. Thomas, yesterday, Albert Schreyer, a
resident of _Rising Sun, WM charged with
crueland unnaturaltreatment of an orphan
boy,about—twelves: years_ofE-age r adopted _by
him, and who has been an Inmate 'of his
family for about two-years: The evidence
showed that on Sunday afternoon the boy had
gene into. bathe against the "wishes - of his
guardian ' and to punish- him-the latter took
his clothing home, leaving - him-in the =water.
Here he remained until .darkness hail set in,
and,then returned to his home, but was re
fused admittance,and was exposed to the night
air until morning. Mrs. Fredonia Kaniefly,
siding in the vicinity;and hearing of hie dis
tress and nakedness, sent him a pair of pants
and a shirt. "Mrs. Schreyer threatened
.er-with—proseeution-if—she did—not-remove
the clothing from the boy, and, in fear,
she did so. And thus he re
-rnaine-d—exposed until Mandav evening, -
without food or clothing, when 'llfrs. Louisa
Alexander, a neighbor, gave him an apron to
shield him - from - the sun until proper clothing
iould be furnished to him. She also informed
Policeman Peterman of the situation_ of_thez;
child, and the unnatural treatment to which
he was being subjected. Officer Peterman
found the boy and took him iu charge. The
little fellow's back and legs were fearfully
scorched and blistered by the burning rays of
the sun, and at the hearing he still wore the
clothing furnished him by kind neighbors.
His case will require medical treatment.
When arrested Schreyer stated that the boy
was very bad, that he bad taken the clothing
from him merely to intimidate him, and that
he had not time to return it. He also pro
duced witnesses to prove the bad conduct of
the boy.
Alderman Thomas said that lie had no doubt
that the boy was bad, but that did not ex
tenuate the charge of criminal neglect. He
should hold the defendant in 81,000 bail to
answer at Court. The boy was placed in
charge of Officer Peterman, to be removed
to the Northern Home for Friendless Children,
from which institution he was indentured to
ilefendant.

THE COURTS.
Dispute About a Trade Mark.
COMMON PLEAs—Judge Paxson.—A case of
.some interest was heard at.nine o'clock this
morning in the new Court-house. About one
week ago R. P. Hall, K. F. Worcester and H.
W.Small were arrested upon the information
of Charles A. Gilles, and charged with imita
ting a trade mark.' A suit in equity was at
the same time instituted against them,.and an
application made for an injunction to restrain
the defendants from further using said trade
mark. The petition was entertamed,_and an
injunction fur five days granted by the Court.
-This morning the -application to -continue the
injunction wasleard, J. M. Moyer and Ames
- Briggs appearingfor defendants, and S. Wag
ner and Judge. Brewster for plaintiffs. The
case involves a large amount of money. 'The
facts alleged are as follows :
- R. P;Haliwas the discoverer of a hair -pre
•paration known in the market as Hall's
VVegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer. A trade
mark upon the same was granted to him. In
1865 he sold his right to said trade-mark to the
plaintiff for $30,000, with the reservation in
his agreement of sale, as he alleges, that after
the plaintiff had made $lOO,OOO out of said pre
-paration-Tit-should-agaiirrevert-to-him;--It-is
alleged now that Gilles has made over $400,000
out of the sales of the article. Frequent de
mands,"it is averred, were made by Hall upon
the plaintiff for the cancellation of the agree,
ment of sale, and these were refused. Hall
- then commenced - manufacturing - in - this - city,
taking the other defendants into copartnership,
he_ claiming - that Ilia proprietorship of the
trade-mark has reverted to him, under the
agreement of sale. The plaintiff denies this
and claims that the sale was an absolute one,
and not contingent.
The case was fully argued and held under
advisement.
QUARTER , SEssums—Judge Paxson.—The
whole morning was occupied with the trial of
a disorderly house case.
QUARTER SESSIONS—Judge Ludlow.—Par
ties charged . with selling liquor without a li
cense were before the Court to-day. Three
pleaded guilty, and were fined $6O, $7O and
$lOO, according to the circumstances of the
case.

How TO LOOK YOUNG—SIXTERN.—DOIet

Elagan's Magnolia Balm upon your face, neck and hands,
