Let us explain at once. On the plains over withal
, the abandoned boy was clueing in hie turn, a beggar
woman while nursing her infant, and at the same time
seazobrzg for • refuge, had lost her way a few house
before. Benumbed with cold she had sunk under the
temport, and could not rise again. The falling snow
had covered her. Bo long as she woo able she hod
°looped the little girl to her bosom, and thus died.
The infant had essayed to suck the motile breast.
Blind trust, inspired by nature, for it seems that it is
possible for a woman to suckle her child even after the
last Nigh.
But the lip' of the infant had been unable to find
the breast, or the drop of milk, stolen by death had
been frozen, whilst under the snow the child, more
aecustomed to the cradle than the tomb, had wailed.
The abandoned child had heard the cry of the dying
child.

That fierce growl mannered him—that threat was •

He turned the corner of • wall, and, behind in the
vast sepulchral light made by the reflection of snow and

smoke was red, and seemed to imply a good fire In the

in the centre of this door a square opening showed a

That which bad growled felt that he approached, and

and the purple bps of the infant sought the cheek of
the boy, as it had been a breruit. The little girl was
near the moment when the congealed blood stops am

However, at the same time that the window shut,

No candle was burning in the caravan, probably from
the economy of want. The hut was lighted up only by
I red tinge, arising from the opening at the top of the
stone, in which sparkled a great fire. On the stone was
smoking • porringer, and a saucepan, containing to all
appearance, something to eat. The savoury odour was
perceptible. The hut was furnished with • chest,
stool, and an unlighted lantern, which hung from the
ceiling. Itosides, to the partition woo attached some
boards on brackets, and some hooks, from which hung a
variety of things. On the boards, and dopendins from
the nails, were rows of gleams, coppers, an alembic, •
vessel rather like those need for graining wax—which
SIC called granulators—and a teinfusion of strange ob-
jects, of which the child understood nothing, and which
were utensils for cookery and chemistry. The caravan
was oblong in shape, the stove being to frost. It woo
not even a little room. It war scarcely a big box.
There was more light outside from the snow, tban in•
side from the stove. Everything in the Caravan was
indistinct and misty. Nevertheless, • reflection of
the fire on the ceiling enabled the spectator to read in
large letters,—

The street began by two houses.
He knocked at both, but the house of stone and the
thatched hovel were equally deaf to the wretched.
The boy di cided on pushing on further.
It waa Weymouth which he had just entered.

Weymouth of to-day.

honours, however, are deserved.

An important trial for murder took place on Friday
at the Clown' Amite'. The victim was a farmer
named Tracy, who was murdered on the night of the
Sfith of January, when returning from the fair of
Tipperary to his home. On the nett morning his life-
less body was discovered near the Limerick Juoation,
death having been caused by iejimies to the bead
apparently Waisted with • stick. A blackthorn, with
which it is supposed the fetal blows were given, was
found near the body. TM prisoner, Michael Bryn*,
held a farm adjoiniug that of the deceased, and it
appears that swim month, previously they bad a dis-
agreement and Miaow on bad terms. The prisoner was
at the fair of Tipperary on the day of the warder, and
he es. also MOO on the road near the deceased, when
the latter, who was somewhat under the balances of
liquor wee returning to his bome. It was endeavoured
to be shown that the stick which the prisoner carried
on that occasion was the same whieh was found near
Tracy's body, ,but the Crowe baled to establish this
point. It was proved, however, that the trousers worn
by the prisoner were stained in some plane with blood.
The jury, without calling on the prinomr's rionneal, to
speak, returned a verdict of " Not Guilty."

be had been wedded something like 26 years, and
apparently lived on the most affectionate term, the
whole of that tima She had previously had good reasons
for suspecting the fidelity of her partner, for she had
contnved to intercept some correspondence of • very
" gushing" character, which emanated from the widow
of a Church of England clergyman. The forsaken lady
determined to follow in pursuit, and on Friday morning
she came up with the runaway captain, who was de-
liberately promenading the Warrington high-level

of the refreshment-room by Superintendent Perrit, of
the detective department of the Great Western Railway,

attendants. 3he captain also entered the room, but
treated the whole matter with surprising cooking and
indifference. By this tiros the lady had become terribly
excited, and Logan to rare and tear her clothes too wild
moaner, and had to be held forcibly on • sofa. Shortly
after one o'clock, the widow, who had been left alone on
the platform, male her appearance at the door of the
rafreshmentroom, and with the utmost'sroarkaiance in-
formed the captain of her intention to travel on to
Cheater by the 1.30 train, wind, she ornsordingly did,
but by herself. The captain and his wife, accompanied
by their daughter and Mr. Perrit, departed from
Warrington for Chester by • later train.
