child IN the care OF a tramping woman, who had
TWO other children totally blind also with her. The
cries of the child were distressing that he insist
ted on knowing the cause but not getting satisfac
tory answer, he forcibly removed baldage from it
eyes, when, horrd 10 relate, he found them
with two small perforated shells, in which were two
live black beetles for the purpose OF destroying the
sight The woman was instantly seized and gver
into custody. and at the magistrates meeting al Ia
ton, committed for trlal. There is too much reason
10 fear thatthe wretch produced the blindness of the
ether two children by similar means.
