A DREADFUL STORY.

Il scarcely falls TO our lot to record so
shocking an occurrence as the following
which we find in The Binghampton Broom
Coz Republican,
aCorneius Mersereau, ESQ. Coroner, ,on
Monday last, was called To hold an inquest
nyer he bodies Of two children, daughters
of Mr.. Locke, of this county. Ii appeared
in evidence that early on Saturday last Mr..
Locke and his two sons went 10 the barn to
attend TO their ordinary out door business.
Mrs. Loci passed into the room where a
niece of hers, who was siob, and her little
daughter slept, asked her niece how she
rested, and then took her child from the bed
under prelence that her niece might remain
undisturbed the remainder Of the morning.
She the took the child up stairs to the
bed occupied by the other child; (the oldest
fve, and the youngest two years OF age.)
and got into the bed herself. About this
time one of the sons returned from the barn
for some corn, and wen. up stairs for tha,
purpose. His mother urged him to hasten
down with ii, which he did. Mr.. Locke
in few minutes also came in, and inquired
Of his son where his mother was. lie re-
piled up stairs playing with The children
MIR. l.. Immediately went up, where sight
as appalling as ever was Witnessed by NOR
tai eyes met his view. The three lay in
the bed with their lhroais cut from ear TO
car, weltering in the blood :! 'rhe children
were quite dead ,and their mother struggling
as in the agonios of death!
The uether, it seems, had been insane,
although no particular symptoms of her NAL
ady has Seen apparent, and il was thought,
had beer restored by journey, which she
had taken with her husband, to sound
mind. She s,ill survives, has partially re-
covered her senses, expressed her regret,
and'heped she might live to suffer the pen
atty of the law The verdict was that the
children came to their deaths by having
their ,hroa,s Gu, by their mother, with u ra-
zor, while in state Of insanity"

When Grahamites fatten and bcefeaters dwindle,

When ,nint-drops shall flow up the broad Missis-

And Amos no longer shall scribble for gain;
When Richie refuses to scold like Zantppe

When camels shall creep through the eye of nee
die
And ounces confess themselves minus in brain;
When rogues cannot cheat us parasites whee-
