reflections upon her character.
One day last week, a lot OF citizens IN the
rural districts, about three mikes north Of
Iiblow, became quite angry at the treatment
ola young Lady by her father and step
mother. 80 serious did they CONSIDER the
matter that they waited upon the old lady
and read her some law. The girl Is about
grown, and resides with her Sepm0her IN
that vicinity, while the father resides in
EdwartisvlIle. 1t Is reported that she has to
suislst upon nothing bat corn bread and
water; that she works hard to Obtain cloth,
ing nor hcrseif, and that IN, majority Of
cases the steP-mother takes the hard-earncd
material and makes 1t up into garments OF
her own. Further, that upon the Least
Provoation the unnatural father ~ IN the
habit Of whipping the poor s,,i IN the
Severest manner with WHIPS and sticks HE

the matter no longer, and went mt" the
