quently leaving her without food. That
last Saturday week she felt hungry,
went into the garden, pulled a rad
ish and turnip, and eat them raw.
That at night when Mr.. Pepper arrived
home, Mrs. Pepper told him the girl had
pulled the radish and turnip; whereupon
he few into q passion, pulled half the
hair out Of the girls head, aud beat her
with his hand. Not satisfied with this
treatment, be placed poker in the stove

out, and burned the girl with 1t on her
face, neck and hands, Mrs. Pepper hold

to prevent her screaming. The poor

She has three burnt scars on the back OF
the right ear, four on the right cheek, six

and Eve on the left hand. The witnesses

The defendants being unprepared to an

morrow, the accused parties putting up
a forfeit of $50 each for their appearance.

THE WISE FUND.
n.II nj Cocbran Hail Last Night.

The Irish Literary Society may we'll
feel proud of it's achievement in congre-
eating the flower and chivalry of the
exiles of Erin and descendants from the
old Milesian- Norman and Celto.Cym-
brian stocks at Cochran Hall last night,
to participate in the may twirling of the
German waltz, the lively figures of the
French cotillion, and the enlivening
movements of the Irish jig. 1t was In
deed a grand success, conducted with
spirit and eclat aud shows that when
ever men Of talent and enterprise take it
into their heads to do thing, they will
do it gracefully, properly, and in man
ner worthy of the highest praise. We
expected nothing less when such gentle
men as Professor Mitchell, graduate OF
old Trinity, John League, Esq, the
Custos Rotulorum of the County Court.
Col. Magevney, the gallant commander
of the brave l54tb, and Jere Fealey, Esq,
a well-to-do merchant, were among those
who had the management of affairs
What the sum collected by the sale Of
tickets amounted to we cannot well
guess; but we believe it was as large as
The Managers of the Ball anticipated,
and will swell the sums previously col
ected for the Wise Fund very hand
somely. After supper, which was deli.
cous feast, dancing was kept up till
nearly day, when the jewellers dispersed
in prou ps and sought rest in the arms of
Morpheus. Everything passed of very
pleasantly, and every body present seemed
delighted With the entertainment so hap
ply brought about and so sgreeably con-
Quoted by the members of the Irish lit
erary Society. May their shadows never
grow less, and their revelries occur more
than once year.

New Memphis Theater.

The beautiful play of Leah, the For
saken, in which the late Ayonia Jones
was unequalled, will be performed to-
night at the New Memphis We think
Miss Charlotte Thompson possesses the
talent, judgment and power required to
represent the great character of Leah
CONNIE IL fait. Be that as it may, the
house, we expect, will be crammed with
the creme de la creme of Hebrew society
to witness her rendition and if she APP
proaches the sublime delineation of Miss
Jones, she may rest assured of winning
the admiration of a people who are keen
critics, and whose esteem is really orlh
posses ing. Mrs. Lauagan plays Lucy,
Miss Viola Punkett Rachel, and
Miss Lucy Barrett Old Lise. Little
Jessie Henri appears as the Child. If the
play suits the melancholy and senti-
mental, the farce will certainly suit the
iocund and the gay, it being nothing
less than Mr.. and Mrs. Peter White
one of the spiciest, funniest, liveliest
Detit comedies extant-with McWsde as
the rushing, gushing, loving Peter, and
Mrs. Cline as the charming, bouncing,
sprightly Mrs. White. During its per-
formance Mac will execute one of his
Characteristic dances, in which he cuts
the figure of Manx coat of arms, and
Mrs. Cline will sing, in her sweetest
STYLE, an air from Bdrbe Bleu

the energy which Col. Donovan had at

the two last meetings Of the association
had been greatly owing to the executive
ability displayed by their efficient Presi-

ballet advertisement there receives a
coup dc grace from the light fantastic"
eyoiu,io6s and poses Of the Misses Yves
ton, Clifford and Marie; while the songs,
ballads and ditties of the Misses Evans
and DeVere, and the Characteristic &C.
centricities of Messrs. Johnson, Porter
and Berry, lend variety of charm, fun
aud frolic to the entertainment that
make it lively, spicy and witty.

GREENBAoKs RAISED. AND IDENTIFIED.
The s2O4, 900, composed of legal tenders
and national bank notes, belonging
to the First National Bank of this city,
the safe containing which fell into the
Mississippi river when the steamer Car
ter was burned, but was afterwards raised
by wreckers, are undergoing examina-
ton in the Treasury Department al
Washington by three lady experts. 1t is
said that notes to the amount of $50, 900
have already been identified. The Adams

cost of examination, and the wreckers
will receive one-third the value of the
saved property.

to be seen was Miss E. T.;

as Aurora, end certainly dances the

Last. vet By no means the least attractive
on ihe oeeasiou, was Miss ]. MeR., who
was dressed in grensdine, with bright

cred the belle Of the evening. Mrs' r.

and looked as though they had not shone
At Hymen's altar. Mrs. MeR. played the
hostess. and with such fne effect that
every one was made to feel agreeable, and
