BELLkVUK o. Dec 9th 1869.
DEAR JoURNAt:-For slight change, the
sun shines upon our town tO-day-FOr the
past week we have enjoyed bpt fE0Of his
cheering rays. There has been ! MIXTURE Of
rain and snow, the weather is so mixed mp
that We know no name for it WhatdO you
call it at Fremont [ Good for ni1. = Ed ]
Well The lecture of Mr., KenDan the first
of the course was success. The lecture
was very fine, and highly interesting and
entertaining, the audience was very fair.
The receipts something more than paid ex-
Penses. This one is to be followed soon BY
smother, bat it is not yet certain who will be
the lecturer. mil
Your tyPe-setter made me say in my lasi
letter that the cODgregatiohalis ofour town
had fitted up. the building donated to the
society for "Shopel" instead of Chapel.
L hope the society will not lay up against
US the giving to their neat and cOnyenient
CRaPel the new aud novel name Of = ShopeE'
for indeed the printer made the mistake.
Which we regret; for though marked in the
proof it was not oorrected.-Ed
Rather an amusing OccuSrence-- am using
to outsiders, but not quite so amusing to
insiders transpired last week. A certain
worthy citizen, who s called dr." was
recently appointed guardian Tor the children
of certain widow -fhe widow being
poor, and having number of children who
had in paFtto be supported by charity, the
guardian very kindly secured places for a
part Of them in the Orphan Asylum at Flat
Rock. Bat the mother sent for Oneo the
children, and had it brought home, stating
that she did it upon the authority of the
Guardian. The Guardian, however,
was not aware Of giving such au-
thority aud, accompanied by another citi-
zen, went to the widows house and desired
the child, that he might return it to its com.
Portable place at the asylum. She denied
the right to take theehild, and told him il
he did not leave she would scald him and
suitipg the act to the word, abe made for
the hot water, which the Dr., succeeded in
getting out of her reach, though she made
several attempts to scald him. Failing in
tbis she seemed detetermiued to make
the bair come, scald or no scald 50 making
for The "Dr.," she clinched both bands into
his whiskers, and jerled him to the floor
from which perilous situation be was ouly
released by the return of his comrade-whO
had fed from the room, through fear of
hot water, but now returned in time 10 loosen
her hands, and save remnant Of the
whi,kers. But they do say, the hair upon
his chin grew very thin, 10 a wonderfully
short sDaee of time. Tho Gualdian was
finally victorious. It'seemed hard to part
mother and child, but IN this case it was
doubtless better for both l1be mother and
child. 1t is comfortable and well, provided
for, and is near where she can. often see him.
When she Gao and will provide for them, no
doubt she can have all her children. We
sympathizs with the mothers feelings, yet
she took the wrong course and the affair is
rather ludicrous.
There is talk of new Depot buildings here
on new site, that i. provided the citizens
furnish the grounds Let every tub stand
on its own bottom" AS well might our
manufacturers, who furnish business to the
Rail Roads, ask the R. r. Co., 10 furnish
them ground to put their shops o1y
