A TRUE STORY,

Many years ago happened to be one ot
the referees in a case that excited unusual in
terest in our courts, from the singular nature
Of the claim, and the strange story which 1t
disclosed. The plaintiff, who was captain Of a
ship which traded principally with the West
Indies, had married quite early with every
prospect of happiness. His wife was said
to have been extremely beautiful, and no less
lovely in her character.
After living with her in the most rninter-
rupted harmony for FIVE years, during which
time two daughters were added to the fam
lily, be suddenly resolved to resume his occu-
patton, which he had relinquished on his
marriage, and when his youngest child was
but three weeks old, sailed once more for the
West Indies. His wife, who WAS devotedly
attached to him, Surrowed deeply at his abb
sence, and found her only comfort in the So
ciety of the children and the hope Of his re-
turn. But month after month passed away,
and be came not, nor did any letters, those
insufficient but welcome substitutes, arrive
to cheer ber solitude, Months heightened
into years, yet no tidingS were received from
the absent husband and after hoping against

FR1aHTFUL BARBAR1TY.
A Child Three Years Old Whipped
10 Death by his Father.

A Presbyterian clergyman named
Lindsey has been arrested at Medi-
ma, N. Y, for whipping his little boy to
death. The child who would have been
three years old in August, refused 10
say his prayers when ordered to do so
by bis step-mother. The father admin
istered the cruel and fatal punishment
above mentioned. The following is
the fathers testimony before the Cor.
onOr's Jury:
On the 18th of June the child diso-
beyed his step-mother, commenced
correcting him, by using a shfngle for
the purpose, and continued to chastise
him for moro than ti0o hours, when the
child began to show signs Of debility
and | ceased to punish him and laid
him on u couch, and called my wife.
When she saw tho child she said he
was dying, and before twelve o'clock
he was dead.
The Rochester Union says:
The body of the child told moro
plainly and emphatically than words
could, the terrible punishment ii had
undergone. Several ofits finger were
broken and the nails knoced off; the
skin was abrased aud the blood had
oozed from every pore. To conceal
tho crime the father tied tho little
ones hands behind its back and he
placeditin the coffin. While physicians
was making post nortem examination
OF the body he sat coolly looking at the
proceedings. After while he spoke
and asked them if they had not car.
ried this thing about tar enough. "
The physicians discovered no disease
abont the chiId--it died sorely from
excessive and cruel punishment.
We are told that Lindsey justifies
his horrid work. He thinks it was
his duty to punish the child until his
will was broken and he obeyed. Lind.
sley was arrested yesterday and COM.
mitted to jail in Albion. 1t was with
the utmost difficulty that the officers
who had him in charge could keep the
citizens of Medina and neighborhood
from lynching the murderer on the
spot. Lindsey is man about five
feet eight inches in height, we'll pro.
portioned, has black whiskers and
dark complexion. He has the appear
ance Of man of violent temper. As
to his character hitherto we know
nothing against him. He has farm
and is reported to be man of some
means. He has not charge of an es-
tablished church but breaches occa-
sionally-is what is called . mission
clergyman.
