Our friend of the Lexington Observer says that
we were mistaken in stating that the committee OF
sixty, on arriving at mr.. c. NJ. Clay's Office, were
assured that he would discontinue his paper if they
would leave his property undisturbed. The Editor
has oonversed with number Of the gentlemen
who were on the committee, and they unani-
nous in the declaration, that no such assurance
was given We received our information from
couple of gentlemen in front of Mr. Clay's Office,
just after the committee had entered. but of course
ii was a mistake, and in justice to all concerned,
we hasten to correct it.-LOuiSpWe journal.

PR COCfoUs CHILDREN.

will venture to make suggestion ia
parents, which is the more important
from the fact that sel6shness sometimes
puts on the guise of virtue. and deceives
even those who are concerned in the
trick. There are parents who, from the
ambition to have their children shine,
stimulate them by base excitements 10
exertlon, thus sacrificing the purity ofthe
heart and often the health OF the body.
There are parents who from frivolous
vanity, dress theft children 10 an extrav>
agant manner; thus furnishing the youth
tul -prt with the same paltry vice, which
sways themselves. There are some peo-
pln who are fattered ittheir children ap
pear prococious, and those usually at
tempt to make them prodi les.
| once knew mother who was pos
sessed with this insane ambition in re-
spect to an only child. This was lit
tie boy, of bright intellect, but feeble
constitution. here was, by nature, a
tendency to premature development Of
the mental faculties and this dangerous
predisposition was seconded by all the
art and influence of the mother. The
consequence was, that while the boys
head grew rapidly, and at last became
enormou his limos became shrunken
aud almost uslesss His mind too advan-
ced, and at the age oil eight years he
was indeed prodigy. Atten he died,
and his mother, who was literary lady,
performed the task of writing AM pub
fishing his biography. In all this, she
seemed to imagine that she was actuated
by benevolent motives, and never appear
ed to suspect the truth, PLAIN and obvi
Gus TO others, that this child was as truly
sacrificed by mothers selfshness 10
the demon of vanity las the Hndoo infant,
given by its mother to the god of the
Gauges, is inundated OH the altar Of
superstition. Let pare nts beware, then,
how they permit their own vanity or am
bition TO lead them into the sacrifice of
their ch'ldrens happiness. Let it be
remembered that premature fruit never
ripens well, and that precocious children
are usually, inferior men aud women
Parents, therefore, should be afraid Of
prodigies. Nothing is in worse taste,
than for parents to show off their children
as remarkable for w.t. or indeed, for
anything -Ftreslde Education.

For The Voice of Freedom
The commencement Of the year 1913,
was memorable as season when the
mighty power Of God, was made mani
fest through the saving ofmany souls from
an endless Eternity OF misery and wretch,
edness; and placing thsir feet upon that
sure foundation, against which, all the
powers of Earth and He'll can never pre-
vail. 1t was in the village Of P, du,
ring he most memorable revival ever wit
messed in that vicinity, that |, as humbIy
hope and trust was led TO view myself as
in lost and perishing condition; and lhro
the influence Of the Holy Spirit, was con
strained to embrace Christ as my only
hope OF Salvation. well remember on,

Result OF THE ELEcrIoN.-In an
other place will be found the official re-
turns Of the Presidential vote in Mich.
gan. From them it will be seen, that
the Wing vote is l,285 larger than 10
1910; the Democratic vote is 6,533 lar
ger than in 1910, and the Liberty vote
has gained in the same time 3,304: max
ing an aggregate increase on tho vote OF
1910, of 1877. So far as we have
heard there was general attendance at
the polls.
The Liberty vote in 1910 was 800
last year,tor Governor, 2,775: this year,
for Birney, 1862 being an increase on
the vote of last year of about 80 per CT.
This is not quite as large as we had
hoped; but when the fierceness of the po
litica contest is considered, and the I'm
scrupulous frauds, falsehoods and for
geries which we're brought to bea, upon
Liberty men by powerful and desper.
ate party,it is as well as could be ex-
pected. Small as have been our gains
since 1910, proportionate increase tcI
four years more will give US 80 900 vote:
in l848 more than o majority of the
whole. There are 8 organized Coun

ATTEMPT TO MURDER A WHOLE FAM
1LY.-Yesterday about O'clock A. M. d
small house in Fifteenth ST., between First
and Second Avenues, was discovered to be
on fire, and nah named Andrew KLEIN
was observed piing straw and wood a.
gainst the front dour, the whole being in
blaze. Upon being approached by the
neighbors. KLEIN retrealed into his shanty,
which was within three yards Of the burn!
ing building.
/ The cry of murder being heard from
he house, the window was broken in, and
boy about l2 years oil taken out not
much injured. The rear of the building
was then torn down and a woman and
child got out. the child nearly suffocated
and the woman SO severely burnt about her
face, arms and chest as 10 leave little hope
OF her recovery.
Two officers having arrived. an attempt
was made TO arrest KLEIN, but he had bar
ricaded himself in his s1an,y. and being
armed with k,ife and an instrument like
whale lance, with which he stabbed at
he officers through the crevices OF the
door and window, the arrest could not be-
made until large crowd had gathered
aud the doc. being forced, Klein was
overpowered. He is one of The most des-
perale looking fellows we have ever seem
aud is said to be half Indian. The lance
had handle about TWO FEET long and a
blade one foot long. The blade was
covered with blood to the handle, but how
1t came there was not dscerlaned. He
had also, a day or Two ago, two pairs of
pistols aud gun. He had also halchet,
which he attempted TO use. He has been
under bonds for'some lime past for Shoot
ing a. a sailor.
The name o! the woman who is bruised
is Hanlan, wife Of Edward Hanlan. Mr..
HanIan had left 10 goto work when KleaI
commenced his operations. She was Sc
vereiy injured yesterday by KLEIN. who
nearly knocked her down with u large
stoue.
Klein is a surly fellow and has no ac-
qualnlances in the neigbborhood, but is
visited at night by the lowest grade of me-
gross. He has built a high fence around
his shanty and no one was permitted 10 en-.
ter or look into it.
No cause can be assigned for this act.
excepting the annoyance felt by Klein at
having neighbors so near his shanty, and
his determination TO get rid OF them.
The crowd at his arrest, composed
mostly of Irish, were much exasperaed.
and bu. for the officers would have mas
sacred Klein on the spot. AS it was, his
face was cut open by large s'one and
his shanty Ieveled with the ground.-N

From the Portland Tribune,

ANECDoTE. In by gone days, when
it was customary for every body to use
strong drink, there lived in the town Of
R -, certain eccentric character,
whom we shall denominate Pete. Well
as the story goes, Uncle Pete was wide
awake whenever the spirit moved him
for any occasion whatever-we mean the
spirit of alcohol which was Uncle Pete's
prime mover in all worldly and religious
concerns. M,stakm! the spirit OF alco-
hol for the spirit Of divinity, was Uncle
Pete's failing.
As Uncle Pete entered his humble a.
bode one evening, inspired by the jolly
bottle, he commanded his family to lay
aside their work and dispense with sup
per until he had made prayer! His
wife and daughter earnestly ent. Gated
him to put it off until later hour; well
knowing, tina, when the fumes Of his hq-
uor had evaporated, his piety would &C
company it. But their arguments and
entrealies had no effect on Uncle
pete. He vociierously stammered out,
q will 60 to prayer, SO lay by your
work
His family finding it of no use to argue
the question farther, laid aside their knit
ting work and stood up for the old man
to commence. Uncle Pete took the top
of the chair for support and commenced
his devotion, rolling backward and for
ward all the while; when suddenly losing
his balance, he pitched head foremost
over the chair, and his heels coming in
contact with the table, overthrow it III
the middle oflhe floor with tremendous
crash, ScrambIing up on his hands and
knees he bawled out,
wife, are you alive"
yes, was the reply.
'Arc your children all alive"
Yes satd the wife.
well, that was most tremendou.
clap Of thunder, warn't it?'!!!
Gz~ No language can express the cru
city or folly OF that economy, which, t
