Shocking Treatment of Young Woman.

A case has JUS been brought to light at
mos, shocking and iuhuman treatment of a
daughter by her father and stepmother For
several years it has been well known in the
neighborhood of Parkgate that a young
woman was shut up in the house OF her
parents, but for what reason and under
what circumstances no one knew. Persons
who have occasionally heard her cries and
feared she was subjected to some cruel
treatment have spoken OF it 10 the police
aud others, but nothing was done 10 ascer
tain tho real condition of the girl. On The
night OF the 10th, however, she seized a
favorable opportunity and escaped TO the
house OF neighber. Her appearance ex-
sited feelings of horror and the tale she
told OF the sufferlngs she had undergone
could scarcely be credited She returned
TO her home" and information was given
TO The police. On the following morning,
Sergeant Horne went 10 the fathers house
and insisted upon seeing his daughter
After some little hesitation she was called
and an object presented itself that could
scarcely be recognized "a human being.
Wrapped around her were lew rags in a
most filthy condition her eyes were black,
aud nearey closed her lips were swolen
TO an enormous size aud one OF her ears
was large wound from which blood was
flowing. Her features were shrunken and
distorted, aud altogether her appearance
was one of the mos sIckening description
The officer tried every means TO induce b er
TO speak, bGt he was enable TO elicit a " ord
from her. He then asked to be shown the
room from which she was called, and a
small place ike recess on The stairs Iand
ing was pointed ont 10 him There was
just room IN il for what was used as bed
stead, but which was in reality heap OF
filth, and the place was in most disgusting
state Persons who live Eear slate that II is
at least fourteen years since the poor crea-
ture disappeared, and they speak of her as
being then about fourteen years of age, and
a lively, intelligent girl. Although she is
now, therefore, twenty eight years of age,
she IS not so tall as an ordinary girl OF
twe.ve-having rather liBisished in stature
than grown during her long and dreary
incarceration. As soon as the facts of the
case became known 10 Superintendent Gill
let, steps were taken with the view OF bring
ing lie matter before the proper authorities
At The meeting Of the Board ol Guardians
ON Monday, the Gaze WAS brought before
them, and an investigation was ordered 70
be made. The father is in comfortable
circumstances, and we'll able to support
his daughter properly Sheffield Indepen-
dent.

What Becomes Of Dead Horses.

Some people will no doubt be aslonished
to learn that large fortunes have been made
every year since the commencement of the
war, out of the dead horses of the Army OF
the Potomac The popular idea is that
when Rosinanie yields up the ghost, he is
buried in some field or left TO mouder into
mother earth in The woods somewhere
Not so. He has made his last charge, aud
gnawed his last fence rail, but there Is
from $50 TO $40 in the old fellow yet A
contract FOR the purchase Of the dead horses
in The Army OF the Potomac, for the ensuing
wear was let few days ago, 10 the highest
bidder, al : 10 per head, delivered al he

Drunk, bnt Don't KrOw 1t.

In accounling recently for the strange va
garies of the Lincoln Administration, and
the popular support accorded Them, some
New York papers said that the nation is
f'drunk" Forney, in his Washington ChrOn-
ieie, Indignantly denied the charge, and
said
"The nation is not.drunk. The fact that
public balls are prevalent that iheatres are
euriching their managers and lessees that
gayelies and amusements are everywhere
the rage these facts do not prove that the
nalion is drunk Al his may be true,
while friends and relatives are dying on The
Rapidan, or in Tennessee, yet not convict
the people o! drunkenness"
Il is provefbial that The drdnkard is OF
all men, least aware of his true condition,
and when most intoxicated he is most per
suaded that he is perfectly sober, aud that
everybody else is terribly inebriaied. This
is the state in which the Administration aud
It's supporters Eow are, and It is Jolly Tor
any sane person to Try to convince them OF
their situation Forney continues thus
"But OF what greater crime than drunken
ness are they gully who, seeing their hous-
es in flames, struggle 10 prevent The inie'
position OF The firemen, and heap abuse
upon the authorities Who direct Their move

An Affecting Incident.

Some three years ago, household IN our

motion by The sudden disappearsncs OF
daughter twelve years OF age She was

had passed safely over or was drowned, was

and unhappy Parent although in moderate
circumstances, sought the newspaper Off
ces. and advertised reward of 81 QUO 10
whoever should restore his missing child
All proved nnsvailing. Some time after
ward the corpse OF young lady was found
in tie river near Vevay, about forty miles
below here, hearing OF it he went there, but
il was not his daughter.
Time wore on, and no dings came OF
the lost child. She was dead 10 them, but

Truths to be He.ded.

In the following paragraph, which we
quo,e from the Providence Post, the Truth
with regard to the actual positioc taken by
the President 10 his latest proclamation"
is stated with much concseness and point
Nor can the best friend oil the President de.
ny that this manner OF starns his real pos
i,ion is literally correct. Aud being true,
in what a light does it exhibit Abraham
Lincoln and those who follow him
(From the ProUidsnce Post
II we can understand what the President,
10 his message and proclamation, is driving
al ii is to prevent any restoration OF the
Union until he has gotten rid OF slavery in
The States where it exists. According to
Republican authority, the rebellion is al.
most subdoed we have but to fight earn
sstly little longer, and the old flag will
wave from the capital OF every State, and
The Constitution will be the supreme law of
the whole land. Bul this says Mr. Lincoln,
