who were living in a state of misery hardly
creditable. Their subterrauean apartment
which was not over ten feet square, was occu-
pied by man, his wife, and daughter about
six years Of age. The furniture Of the room
consisted of 4 miserable apology for a straw bed,
impregnated with filth, and laid on the floor, in
the corner of the room. There were no sheets,
blankets or quilts, and the only covering for the
occupants was a few old dresses Torn into
shreds. The remaining furniture of the room
was broken down table, a chair minus back,
a broken pitcher and saucer, and spider
The floor was covered with filth of the most dis
gushing character. There was not particle of
provisions in the house Of any kind.
The dress OF the mother consisted Of piece
of calico, in part strung together with wicking,
and the little daughter had OH simple skirt,
confined at the middle, and shawl over her
shoulders. The father of this wreiched group,
a short time since, while drunk, broke his wrist,
which was properly set, but the next day he
got drunk, forced the bone from its place, and
il not having been afterwards attended to- it has
knitted together 10 deform the limb. A
son OF these parents is at the State Reform
School, for stealing, and daughter at Deer

daughter was sent out by her parents TO beg. =

both parents being drunk FOR the most part of
tile time. When The officer entered the cellar,
I the liile daughter had in her arms kitten,
which she was spressng to her bosom. Last
night the Whole family was taken from this hor-
rible den TO the watch house. As they were
/ leaving, the husband remarked TO his wife, that
she had better put nail over the window, OF
some one would be getting in and taking the
things. The man and his wife, who are named
/ Maurice and Ellen Hearn, were sent 10 the
