them to oscillate from side to side, A. they

HORRIBLE INHUMANITY.-We Yesterday
heard of a case Of inhumanity that puts to
blush all that we have ever before heard of
in the shape of brutality. 1t is the case of
man with wife and five children, living on
Ten Mile Creek. 1t appears that day or
two since one of the children was taken down
with the small pox. The father, instead of
rendering whatever assistance was in his
power under the circumstances. forthwith
gathered up his valuables, including a wagon
and team, and some four or five loose animals.
With these and all the loose money be had in
the world, he started off, leaving his wife and
children in utter destitution In his hurry
to get away some OF the animals strayed, and
whilst searching for these, the fact of his de-
sertion became known. Yesterday he was
in town. inquiring for the missing animals,
and whilst thus engaged Sheriff Olney over
hauled him, and notified the heartless wretch
that unless he returned and made provision
for his family he would be mobbed and most
likely have his neck stretched. influenced by
his fears. he last night procured the services
OF a doctor and made arrangements for the
proper care of his afflicted wife and children.
We think history may be searched in vain for
anything like parallel case of brutality

WIDows AS AN ELEMENT IN REcoNsTRUc-

/ was a little 10th to believe, having entertain
ed an irrational prejudice on such matters)
that mine of wealth richer than ever was
worked in California or Golconda has been
found in the persons or places of the number
less widows now inhabiting the shores of fthe
river hereabout. One of cur acquaintances
has found lovely widow, with no further in
cumbrance than some three hundred bales of
cotton, which, in consideration of contract
of amity between them, and ratified by cler
gyman, have been converted into greenbacks,
to be spent Jointly Another has found a
pair of widows (neither of whom be could
marry since he is honest enough to admit one
existing marriage.) but has secured some
sec. 900 for his influence in getting husbands
for them BOTH A third has so endeared HIM
