ness of their terrible bereavement,
narrated the fact With a pathos and
eloquenee that seemed almost in
spired, stating the facts as narrated
above, closing thus amid his heart
bursting sobs: When We went into
the house we found everything dead,
dead, dead" 1t was a scene ealcu-
lated to melt a heart Of adamant, to
see these two little ones, scarcely old
enough to realize the extent Of the
calamity that had befallen them,
wandering along the wharf,
with their arms entwined af-
factionately around each others
necks, pathetically and with deep
drawn sobe, inquiring if their
father had returned. 4 policeman
took them to their more than desola-
ted home, and called in neighbors to
give fitting attentions to the mother,
so suddenly and so fearfully called
away. The affair is one of the most
melancholy We have ever been called
on to record, and is well calculated to
elicit the deepest sympathy of the
whole community. What a terrible
blow to the bereaved husband, who,
all unconscious, is thus suddenly de
spoiled Of tie object of his hearts
earliest sfections-the wife he SO
fondly loved, the mother Of his babes.
May the God Of all consolations
soothe the anguish of his heart.

whipping is too cheap in this city;
it is not dear enough to make it a
