Considerable feeling and indignation has
arisen in Windham. in an alleged case Ct
cruelty and barbarity toward a little orphan
girl in the care of Mr.. T. c. Rand, who is
charged with having abused the girl, and
treating her with the utmost severity.
/ There was TO have been public examna-
ton Of the case on Wednesday, at which
we trust the reports in circulation may prove
untrue. The girl in question was in this
place last week, and those who made ex-
animation all seemed to agree that she had
been treated with the greatest brut ali,y.
Indeed, some of the reports are too utterly
inhuman for belief, and much feeling has
been excited in this place about it. The
result of the examination we had not learn
ed at the time of going to press.
There was dsgracefu affair at the ho-
tel at White River junction, Wednesday

he refused whereupon he called some
Frerchmen to help put him out, and in the
mel"e, Barney, the hotel ke' per, struck
! Duton a heavy blow on the head, which
knocked him down, and he was carried off
in an insensitle condition. Some passengers
who saw it, and who give us these partic-
ulars, refused to stay at the hotel after the
affair happened, and represent the blame as
| being almost entirely with the landlord.
A secesh newspaper called The Jefferson
was destroyed by soldiers at Richmond
