children. Scarcely had he been laid in the grave
when plan fixed upon by the children two sons
and daughter, tor horrible to think of yet true
to sumber, to abduct the mother, who stood between
them and the property Of the dead Gather. Accord
ingly the mother was prevailed upon to go to the
country where some relations resided The journey
was commenced but on the evening the old la
dy was returned to this city, secretly taken to the
garnet of their family mansion and confined in room
where no eye could reach but that of the daughter,
the usurper of the mothers rights. Here, in soil

old lady had died in tho country Mourning was put
on by the sister and two brothers, well as other
lations, who actually supposed that the old lady and
lawful owner of the property was dead and in her
grave!
Two years rolled away, and the daughter and sons
are in quiet possession Of their ilgoen wealth when
circumstance transpired shocking to relate. per-
son employed about the premises, who had often

part Of the upper garrett moaning, so low, indeed, as

absent rushed to the spot with light burst open the
door, and there behed the miserable form Of the poor
old woman in the last agony of death! What sight!
No pen can describe the Language fails to
give an adequate view Of such spectacle.
On the return of the daughter, her husband ard
friends, by bribery and threats succeeded in qucll-

up in the first society in this very city as pure and
healthy patterns of all that is good and viruous.-
Steps are soon to be a!scn learn, to investigate
this foul affair land bring those concerned in it TO JUS

This most horrible affair is fully confirmed by la
ter advices from Cincinnati The name OF this cruel
ly abused woman was Tibbs.
