BABEs IN THE WooD-Three young children
of J. b. Hawley's, at tHornellsviile, N. Y, were
lost in the woods on Saturday last, while
hunting berries. The neighbors, to the number
of 100 turned out in search and found them.
The following touching narrative OF Mary
the eldest of the children, is given in the
HornellsyilIe Journal:
After passing the residence Of a near neigh
bor, they went up the green road, which is over
the bridge by the left hand stone quarry and
took the right hand road at the foot Of the dark
raviue. They went little way and found
winter greens plenty, and picked great many
wandering on for nearly two hours. They
then thought it time to return home but on
turning about for that purpose, they found
themselves in n strange place, and conld not
find the road, or any way out. They sat down
on log to think and sat there long time
finally giving up that they were lost Mary the
eldest, said 10 the others, "let US pray to God
to help us to find cur way cut" and kneeling
there by the log, with hands uplifted, they
prayed for deliverance. They then took a new
start and soon found whortiebe berries plenty
with which they satisfied their hunger. The
little ones now commenced calling aloud
the names of the different members of
the family, Carrie, the youngest, call
ing repeatedly for milk, and, complain
ing of fatigue, she sat down to rest
Ida, the second, WAS tired and sleepy, and
would rather stay there than try any longer
to get out. Mary then stripped bark from
dead tree, laid it OF the ground for a pillow
covering it with leaves, and the two youngest
laid down to sleep She found that the sun
had gone down, and it was getting dark, and
she again knelt down TO pray for deliverance
and that God would take care of them. She
had made mp her mind 10 stay there the nigh /
knowing she could not find the way out her.
self She knew the night would be long, and
the little ones might wake before morning
hungry, so she filled her pockets with winter
greens, to pacify them, every few minutes dur
ing the time calling upon the different men,
bers of the family. We have heard that the
young men who first came upon the children,
found the youngest sleeping and the eldest
upon her knees praying. The children say
they could hear the engines whistle, but W hen
they followed the direction of the sound 1t led
them farther and farther into the wood.

THE BOUND BROOK N. ~ TRAGEDY-Efec.
Of Playing on a Weak Itteleet-At the ING uest
on the body of Coe Lewis, who killed his wife,
and then committed suicide, at Chimney Rock,
Bou nd Brook, Somerset county, some thirty
witnesses were examin ed, all OF whom SEEM
ed to concur in the fact that Lewis was x
ceedingly jealous OF his wife, and for some
time had been very miserable on account of 1t.
Lewis was a man of rather weak mind, and
certain persons thought ii very pleasant TO ex-
cite his jealousy. One witness testified that
few days since number of men were together,
and agreed among themselves to teaze Lewis,
who was in the company. They sent for one
of their number 10 the barn, and then, in the
hearing of Lewis, commenced asking each
other what had become of this man, OF whom
it was known that Lewis was jealous, proba-
bly, not without cause. The reply was that he
had gone to call on Lewis wife As soon as
Lewis heard this, he rushed from the room,
and ran home like one crazy. The cruelty of
this and similar conduct towards weak.
minded man is severely censured by all.
Mrs Donnelly testified that few days ago
Lewis called at her house and told her that
"he was in trouble; that he suspected his wife
with the man above alluded to, and that it
made him SO miserable he had that day been
out in the woods with a rope to hang himself
but had changed his mind" He said, also, that
"he could not stand it much longer; that he
wonld certainly destroy himself but that II he
did so his wife should 60 first" She testified,
also, that she had informed lewis wife OF her
husbands threat, and advised her TO leave
of him-th she could trust him.
