Boy FROZEN TO DEATH.-The Louisville
Journal has an account, from Bullitt county
n.y., regarding the wandering from home and
freezing to death OF the child of Mr. Philo
Iwiggs. 1t appears that the child a, boy about
eight years old, had q favOrite dog, with which
he WAS in the habit Of staying away from home
for hours, Saturday afternoon the boy called
his dog. as usual, and they started out to
spend the afternoon among the hills. The
family Of Mr.. Twiggs became alarmed for
the safety Of their child, and, after musteriue a
pOssee of neighbors, q thorough search was made
of all the surrounding hills, but to TO effect.
Sunday came, and still no news of the lost boy,
and the fear became q certainty that the bow
and dog must have been caught In the terrible
hail-storm, and during the night frozen to death.
All day Sunday passed and still no tidings, but
at daylight on Monday tine dog was fougd sitting
ct the door of Mr.. Twigg's residence, shiverine
and hungry. He whined, howled and
,eaped around till he was fed and then
started back to where his little master was.
party OF neighbors followed the dog about
four miles, and finally, beside a large rock on
the bark Of FlOyds Fork, they saw the dog stop;
they went to the spot, and there lay the iffeless
body Of the little boy, cold in death. He had
wandered around until he lost his way, and,
night overtaking him far from any shelter, he
perished in the storm. The faithful dog had
guarded the dead body Of his little master until
driven home by cold and hunger.

House for some time. For some reason or other,
the proprietor notified her, a few DAYS since TO
leave the premises, as he would not board her
there any longer. She accordingly left, but
returned ON Monday morning to pay her bill
and take away her luggage. She went with
cowhide, and, in the course of conversation with
the proprietor, took effense at something he said
to her and struck him several times with her
weapon. He bore the strokes with considers able
fortitude for a while; but finally, getting tired
suggestions of the clerk pushed her down the
hall stairs. Arriving at the front door i'm this
hastily and summary manner, she got her eve on
the clerk, who was about mounting to 60 to the
cars, when she went for him with renewed
vigor. SeiZing him by the coat-tail as he was
climbing to the slriver;s scot, she pulled him
bach and lashed him furiously over the face.
For a time he attempted to evade the blows;
then he undertook to rush up to to her, in the
hand; but she piled the weapon vigorously as
to Keep him at bay. At length, however, he
succeeded in approaching her, threw her down
on the pavement, and gave her few kicks by
way of emphasizing his earnestness. He then
retired from the field. The woman gathered
herself up from the ground, put her cowhide
under her arm, and coolly walked off down the
street. The parties were Immediately arrested,
taken before the City Recorder, and fined.

70 haze 4bscOHdsa.
There are ru mors on the street Coming froun
the Merchants Bank, where Colleotor BAILEY
has been doing his business that he has sud-
denly disappeared from the city. The rumor is
also traced TO one of his deputies Who commn-
nicated the information TO the bank.
liz seems that some time ago Bailey opened an
account with the Merchants Bank, IN an Official
capacity, as collector. Some time subsequently,
he opened a personal account, and the number
Of checks deposited and drawn, and the m amer
IN which his business was carried on, led TO sus-
Picions that caused the officers of the bank to
feel uneasy in regard to his account.
To-day enc of his deputies presented check
for 81 200, drawn by Bailey upon the bank,
which they refused TO cash, as he had but $500
TO his credit.
Tue presentation and refusal TO paw the
checks led To inquiry in regard TO Mr.. Bailey,
when the deputy stated that Nr. Bailey had not
made his appearance tor several days, aud that
he was suspicious that something was wrong.

to the wher eabouts OF Bailey, every clerk an

Several persons have called at the residence of
Mr.. Bailey up town, where the same answer is
returned to interrogations
The friends of Bailey are very indignant at
the rumors circulated concerning his alleged
disappearance, and assert that he will vet put
in an appearance.
At the Merchants Bank the officials are very
reticent, and refuse TO give any information con-
corning his affairs there. The facts above re-
corded, however. explain how his accounts with
the institution stand. The last time Mr.. Bailey
was seen in public was during the Fullerton
trial. An examination is now going on into the
affairs OF his office, particularly in reference to
his unwaTi antable seizure OF the books and ac-
counts Of several merchants without due process

BuTcH1RIEs IN CUBA.-The following details
Of the late terrible butcheries near Ell Cobre,
district of Santiago de Cuba, are furnished the
New York Herald, in private letter dated Ha-
vana, March: The unfortunate Cubans massa-
cred near Ell Cobre were conducted to the place
of immolation in two parties. The Governor of
Santiago had sent for them, and the volunteer 8,
fearing an attempt at rescue, made an agree
ment with the commander Of the Valmaseda
contra-g -guerillas to shoot them on the way. They
did this with the appreciation of the Spanish
mob. In FL Cobre the Spaniards hung out ban
ners in front Of all their houses and paraded the
streets with bands Of music, and made other
demonstrations Of joy. In Santiago they would
have been equally merry and boisterous had not
Governor Ojedo utterly forbidden it. Among
the victims there were two American citizens
who perished in the same way a. those at JiRuani
at the hands Of Palacios. After the execution
An allowance Of grog was distributed among the
victorious soldiery, with liberty to despoif the
corpses, which were i'm nediately stripped Of all
their clothing and valuables, and then left for
two days in the broiling sun, and were afterward
thrown naked into q common hole, whittier they
were dragged by the feet.
