Willetts is one of the most pleasing and
eloquent popular lecturers of the day. and

recollection Of the pleasure we derived

For The Cecil Wing
A Horrible Case Of Inhumanity.

This, supposed to be, highly civilized
and Christian community has been guilty
Of such criminal neglect in the case of the
insane man who disappeared from Port De-
post last week as to make any man having
human feelings "Blush and hang his head
to think himself man.
Would it be supposed that an insane man
would be allowed to wander through the
county in the middle Of winter, bare-footed,
bare headed and coatless, and no one have
the humanity to shelter or take charge of
him. Yet such is the fact. While his re-
latives were surprising that he had COM
mitted suicide he was allowed to travel for
days in tho pitiable condition noted Dur
ing whole stormy, dreary day, the 18th,
he tottred about the rich and thriving vii
lage Of the Rising Sun and demonstrated,
apparently, that no Good Samaritan resides
there, at least they all passed by on the
other side. A poor laboring man into
whose house he wandered towards evening
did give him nights londging and i'll the
morning called in the constable, who took
him to the Jail, poor house or some other
place where the county would have to take
care Of him No. He, the constable,
drove him ont to wander over the frozen
ground with bleeding feet, the cold norwest-
er whistling through his scanty clothing
He got upon the railroad track and started
toward Port and actually proceeded as far
as Colera where the train from Philadel-
phia overtakins him, conductor Dantield
kindly took him on and conveyed him to
his sorrewing family.
Query. How many of those who wit
messed his pitiable condition and did not so
much as raise finger to assist him, are
perfectly sure that they may not some time
be deprived Of reason and made utterly de-
pendant upon their fellow mortals?
