CASE DEsTITUTIoN.-Th MancheSte,
N. H.. Mirror relates the following case
of restitution and want, caused by in.
temperance, which was recently discov.
cred in Hallsville, small village in Man.
chester. The Mirror says:
tsLast week, Friday, the neighbors
heard that death had entered their mis-.
cradle dwelling, and on going in, they
found an infant, born the nj ht before,
Int just alive; and a child three wears
old had died the morning before, and an
other seven years old, quite sick; as was
also the mother. Upon looking around
no food was found but few cold boiled
potatoes; not stick of wood save a
little poor man near, hearing of their
distress, had brought in the night before
from his own scanty pile. From what
they could learn, the family had lived
mostly ON meal, stirred up with water,
and cooked in q spider on the stove. Oc-
OCCASIONALLY the father would get bone
that the meat had been cut off from.
which boiled, would give them for a
change little broth. An old under-bed,
with one sheet, cotton coverlid, and
two pieces of cotton cloth tackled to-
gether, but no cotton between them, con-
stituted the bed of the parents and child
that died i; whilst an old braided mat
LAID on the cords of the trundle bed, and
a piece Of an old comforter for covering,
has made up the bed for the oldest child
through our severely cold winter"
