SMALL BUT SUCCESSFUL : INDLING.
The Rutland Herald says: "a
young man has just shown us Il card on
which are photographed one hundred
faces which he got by complying with
omebody's request to "send one dollar
and get 100 beautiful photographs" 1t
is very mean and cheap swindle. The
same concern also advertiscs TO send
very cheap, fac similies Of Treasury
notes, in any amount, to suit, and en-
joins great secrecy VI on the parties to
whom the proposition is made. 1t is
these swindles, and yet it seems hardly
possible that many people can be bitten
by thi class of sharpers.

AN UNNATURAL MOTHER. - The
Hyde Park Ne,csdeaier relates the fol-
lowing:
Mrs. Mary Ives, of this town, wife of
Rodney Ives, but living separate from
her husband for nearly three years past,
has been, during the past fall and win
ter, in the employment of several fami-
lies in the Northwest part of this town,
doing housework: She was dismissed
from the family of Merrill Hall, a few
weeks since, under suspicion of being
enceinte, which suspicion, however she
Indignantly repealed. She went to MI.
Thomas Whitcomb's, n widower, where
she had also lived during the past sum-
mer On the I'd inst, her manner be-
came so strange that it attracted the no
tice of Mr.. Whitcomb's little girl; and
during the day she left the house and to
the barn. Thinking it strange that she
should be SO long absent, the little girl
went out to the barn, and found Mary,
as she describes it, 81 in the hay, poking
round with a pitchfork. Upon being
asked by the little girl what she was
doing, she replied that she was " trying
to polk that dead duck out" The little
Girl commenced to climb up the ladder
on to the hay-mOw, when she heard the
|
jumped down very quickly, and accost-
ci Mary in about these words: Mary
you've got child down there, and if
you hurt it, I'll scream murder, and
call the noighbors." Mary denied the
soft impeachment, and kept on poking
with the pitchfork, bat the little heroine
was resolute. She called her sister, and
Mary was compelled to take up the child,
which she did by rudely selling it by
the throat, and quite a large patch of
skin was left on the ice where it lay.
One of the little girls took off her skirt,
and wrapping the child up, carried it to
the house. 1t is said to be a very fl re
boy, and is now doing well in the arms
of its loving mother, though the finger
marks are not yet quite gone from its
little neck.
What the intentions of Mary were to-
ward her child can hardly admit of a
doubt. We cannot dilate upon the in
cidents Of the unnatural mothers con-
duet in this affair. Suffice it to say,
they were narrowing and disgusting in
the extreme.
