Horrible Cruelty of a Step-NVother

The Illinois State Democrat furnishes syn
opss of the evidence given in the trial of man
and his wife, upon a charge of manslaughter,
committed upon the person of a little girl only
five years of age, the daughter of the man by
former wife. A more revolving series of barba-
rites has never before come to our knowledge,
and, we hope, never will again.
1t appears that he married again in about
three weeks after the death of his first wife-at
which time Olley, the child alluded to, was about
five years DID, and remarkable sprghtly and
healthy This was about eighteen months ago.
Soon after the marriage the new wife confined
the little girl in the kitchen, and there kept her
most of the time tied, and without fire. In this
situation she was forced to remain mp to the
time Of her death; having no food allowed her
except half pint of coffee or milk and piece
of cold corn bread each day.
No bed was allowed her in any weather fur
.her than single scanty quilt This fendish
woman often amused herself by beating the
child in the most outrageous manner, and on
one occasion compelled another child to choke
her until she black in the face. She con-
tinually forced her to eat rotten fruit and vege-
tables of various kinds together with other filth
which il would not be seemly for US to describe.
Sometimes she would faSten the little creature
unker the kitchen floor and leave her there for
hours. Other details were given, which are too
shocking for publication. The poor little suf-
ferer often wished herself dead.
On one occasion she escaped from the kitchen
and was seen trying to climb pole which stood
in the yard. Upon being asked where she was
going, she replied that she was going up to the
| other world to see her mother. The heartless
| step mother ordered her down with curses, and
the trembling little creature fell, in her weak
ness, her head striking violently against the
wall of the house.
This chapter of merciless infections upon a
| helpless infant was at last terminated by the
sufferer being poisoned to death with opium,
given her in large quantities by her diabolical
prosecutor.
The jury found the woman guilty of man
| slaughter, and she was sentenced to two years
| service in the States Prison. Her husband was
| acquitted. He it seems, sometimes remonstra-
ted with his wife for her cruelty but never had
the courage to arrest il.

Interesting Anniversary.

This day, Nov. A. sixty nine years ago, Q
party Of Adventures from the eastern States,
after a long and toilsome journey, descended
where Newport Barracks now stands. They
there separated for the several "stations" in
Kentucky, and turned their steps through the
wilderness, first pledging each other, in spirit
that may be termed as prophetically romantic
to meet upon the same spot-or such of them
as might survive, in fifty years from that day.
This agreement made the 4th day Of
November, 1882.
In the year 1882, on the 4th day of November,
precisely fifty years after the time of agreement,
four Of the old band met upon the spot to fulfil
their promise. The cholera was then prevailing
in this city, and, in consequence, there was no
public demonstration, but the OLD patriarchs
were brought across the river and kindly enter
tanned by our citizens at Gamsons Exchange,
and received all the attentions that could be ex-
pected in times so full Of melancholy, gloom and
heartrending sorrow.
One Of them was over ninety years OF age, the
rest were under three score and ten. After re-
| naming few days, they turned their steps
homeward-not through wilderness as they
did half hundred years before, but through
scenes of busy life, and hum of industrial mil
lions; nor did they promise another meeting,
| as that was an event fixed by Higher Will /;
and it has taken place! They arc al dad.

The Great Exhibition in the United
States.

An advertisement appears in ell the leading
London papers, signed C. Bushek and Edward
Riddle in which it is announced that arrange
ments have been made for an exhibition of all
nations at New York-the exhibition to open on
the 10Th of April, and all goods to arrive by the
1st of March. 1t is stated that arrangements
have been made for the erection Of building
on an extensive scale, in central situation.
aud which, when completed, will be made
bonded warehouse for the period of the c1hibi-
tien-tour months. The advertisement COR
tinues:
1.-The goods viii be conveyed from London in
surance, &c, advanced, so that no outlay OF
money on the part of the exhibitors Will be re-
quired.
The goods will be exhibited with the prices
attached, and, when disposed of. remit.ances
will be promptly forwarded. Should any goods
remain unsold, at the close of the exhibition,
they will be returned to the exhibitors free OF
all expense. Work. of art, including paintings,
will be admitted.
The leading exhibitors Of continental nations
have already cordially co-operated in this un-
dertaking, and the undersigned feel assured
that it is only necessary to make the project

The Climate OF Oregon.

New England farmer would be thrown int
| the greatest alarm at the prospect of a summer
without rain; but in Oregon "they do thes.
things differently" There a rain storm durinr
the summer months would be deprecated as dis
astrous 20 the crops, and would be deemed al
most as untimely fall of snow in Augus,
would be among Us. The following extract from
an article in the Oregon Times Of August til.
published at Portland in that territory says:-
I'VE arc now in the midst of what is called
the dry season, with every day nearly alike
The farmers are now reaping their waving fields
OF grain, never fearing any sudden showers OF
rain to impede or destroy their well-directed
labor. The harve.ts are represented as bsi,o
most abundant-notwithstan standing SO many OF
our people went to the mines last Winter and
Spring there will be a large surplu. of produce
after supplying the home market. People in
the States, who are accustomed to having rain
and sunshine on the same day during the Sum
mer season, perhaps will wonder how this caa
be an agricultural country, without much rain
for four months in the Summer But there
appears to be . fitness of things in all this
The composition of our soil is peculiarly
adapted to our climate. We are informed by
an intelligent farmer, who has spent three
years in Oregon farming, that the soil is of such
nature that the eChala,ion of moisture sup
plies in the dry season, the absence of rain
and that if rain were to fall copiousy in sum-
mer, it would be On injury to vegetation, instead
of a benefit He gives Oregon the decided
preference over the States for agricultural Pur-
poses. The grain and other products of our
soil is well cured, never getting spoiled by must
or rot, and contains more solid substance, from
having grown beneath the mild and genial rays
of the summers sun. For grazing, Oregon can
not be surpassed-as her fat herds of cattle aud
focks Of sheep bear ample testimony"

A New Cure for CONSUMPTION.

we hnd the following statements in the Mobile
! herald and Tribune, and if substantiated the
discovery will be invaluable, especially in this
section OF the country. We regret that the
quantity of medicine to be administered at q
dose is not given:-
In the first number of the New Orleans
Monthly Medical Register, which we noticed a
few days ago, We find an article by Professor
Stone on the virtues of " Phosphate of Lime in
Scrofula and other depraved states of the sys-
TEN, which is of some moment. 1t was sug-
gested by an essay in the London Lancet, on
the physiology and pathology Of the o1alate
and phosphate of lime, and their relation to the
formation of cells"
1.-The conclusions Of the author" says Pro-
fessor Stone, care based upon careful chemical
research and results from the use of the remedy
HIS researches show that il man, n. well as in
vegetables and inferior animals, phosphate of
lime as well albumen and fat is absolutely
essential for the formation of cells, aud he con-
siders that many of the pathological states CT
the system depend upon deficiency of this salt.
The affections in which it is advised are ulcer
atoms dependent upon a general dyscrasia, and
not mere local affection; infantile atrophy, in
those suffering from rickets and consequent di-
arrhoea and tuberculous diseases, particularly
of the lungs in the early stages"
Struck by this article, Prof. Stone tested it,
and he thus describes three cases in which its
virtues were very obvious. The first that

successfully applied until August, when cod
liver oil was used, but the disorgauizaton of the
stomach increased by it. The phosphate of
lime was then applicd-eight grains three times
day. Its good effect. were soon apparent. 1t
and the oil were therefore administered togeth
er, and the patient soon was restored to health.
The second case is that of young lady aged
twenty-four. Her disease was one of ''unmixed
phthiss, which might have been expected to
terminate in the course of few months ia
tally. Tho upper part of both her lungs WAS
filed with tuberces, and in some places were
beginning to soften. The was evidently
bad one. The treatment of cod liver oil was at
fret used, but without marked improvement.
The phosphate of lime then administered
with the oil, and the result, in the ease Of
the negro, was soon apparent. The patient was
rapidly getting well.
The third case was that Of child seven years
of age, in which the phosphate Of lime was used
with complete success.
We can only refer briefly to these cases for
the purpose of directing attention to the subject.
Before the dreadful diseases which they describe,
scientific men have stood abashed. That there
is some remedy for them can hardly doubt;
and this may, if new thing, be the desidcratum
which science is in search Of
