The Indiana Messenger tells about white
girl IN that county who recently gave birth
to negro child, but, strange to say, it don't
re]oice thereat, although it has ever been
foremost in the advocacy of those disgusting
political doctrines which have tendency to
bring about just such demoralizing and
shameful results as the one mentioned above.
Having failed to secure the removal of the
county seat and the consequent erection Of
the necessary buildings on the Johnstowp
Public Square, the Tribune vents its spite by
denounclng said grounds as a public nui-
| sance AMI as an eyesore to the community.
Does the Tribune call that "6oing things on
the square," or is it the things that havs
been done on the square that has excited its
ire? Du tell.

SINGULAR FREAK OF NATUEE.-A lady
residing in this place. who is at present on
a visit TO some friends in Granville. Ohio,
writes home an account of a most singular
freak of nature which had its occurrence in
that place not many days ago. A young
married woman. the wife of an old but
wealthy citizen of Granville. while in 'that
condition which ladies wish to be who love
their lords," took it into her head to adopt
fashion prevalent among the weaker sex.
ard for that purpose procured Ole of those
hirsute appeEdages commonly denominated
a waterfall. This little fuible of the young
wife excited the ire of the old husband, who
expressed himself very vehemently on the
subject in language more forcible than class
ic, and SO deep an impression did his words
make upon the wife shortly to become a
mother, that wnen the poor upsffending
child came into the world it bore upon the
back of its head a large fcshy protuberance
resembling in shape and outline full heGged
waterfall. The letter further says that
couple of physicians made two attempts to
remove the unsighily lump. but the infant
! died before the operation could be completed.
We have thought it best not to publish the
names Of the parents, which are furnished
by the letter. but the account may be relied
upon as true in every particular. The case
IL one which should serve a warning to
irritable husbands and should learn them
at least to curb their tcmpers under similar
circumstances, lest their innocent offspring
should be made to bear in body or mind
deformity which would prove lifelong af-
Fiction to the child and a source of deep
regret and self-reproach to the parerts.
ISFANTIcIDE.-One day last week, while
o party of young ladies and gentlemen were
sporting in boat in the north fork. oppo-
site the Sycamore House, Ursina. they dis
covered the body of a child of apparent
recent birth lying in the water. Messrs.
Vim. Hyatt, Bruce Hyatt and Hugh Denni
son at once proceeded and recovered The
body and brou ght it to shore. A jury was
mpanneled and sworn by Alexander Han
ma, Esq, with DIR. Harrah as examining
| physician. The child was found to be cut
| and lacerated with knife in a most bru-
tai manner, both ears being cut off, the heart
and intestines cut out. and gashes cut across
! the head and face. A verdict, we under
| stand, was rendered that the child met with
| death by unknown hands. We learn that
steps are being taken to ferret out the per-
| petrator Of this cruel and barbarous crime.
1t is hoped that the perpetrator will be fer
reted out and brought to speedy trial and
the extreme penalty of the law meted out
| to him.-SomersCt Standard.
