THE EVENING NEWS.

NFASTIcIDE.-Constable Began, OF Goia
Hill, has related to us most singular, ana
we may say, horrifying story OF discovery
he made few days since, but which was not
d;x,,Icr6 for reasons best known to him and
several others. Mr.. Began discovered the
dead body of an infant supposed to be seven
weeks old. which bore marks of having been
stranricd to death. Upon close lnSpec-
ton. Mr. BecSau discovered that the offspring
belonged to German parcntS-who, however,
have not vet been detected; but the eyl-
dcncc Of the cause of the death of the child
he retains in his possession, and he declares
himself ready to SubStantiatc what is here
stated. The proof is observation-disclosures
We trust the Grand Jury will ferret ont the
whole particulars of the truly unnatural in
tanticilc-and bring the hcartles$ Pcrpctr"-
tors Of this crime 10 c0ndigU punishment
rs severe as ANYTHING ever inflicted under the
German Dict, or a Vigilance Committee
II is horrible McSSrS. John II. Mills,
Charles Olncv, W. IL. Began, II. s. Peasc,
Toms Johnson, Marshal Arnold, and several
Others, have taken the thing in hand, and It
is to be hoped they will "Sift ii to the bot
TOM" p. S.-Feariug an outburSt OF public
indignation like that which fell upon the
