We Published yesterday the report to the

directions, to the northwestern portion Of the
State, to ascertain what grounds existed for
the current apprehension on the border OF In

the defence Of the frontier rs would serve to
reassura the settlers. Colonel Mattson asceI-
timed that the fears which have disturbed
some portions Of the frontier and the rumors
on which they we're based, we're wholly ground
less, the only semb!anca of an Indian difficulty
being certain depred1tions committed in Chip

From. the Cincinnati Commercial, July I.
On Monday night last the authorities Of tho
city of Newport received information that a
child Was being treated with excessive cruelty
by its parents, residing on Macarthur street.
The tacts eet forth were deemed sufficient to
justify an official investigation, and visit to
the premises Was accordingly made. The e1-
animation revealed case Of extreme parental
cruelty almost without parallel in tho re-
cords Of crime. Locked up in Wood-shed
was found a little boy between 6 and 7
years OF age, With nothing to rcst lis famiah-
ing and bruieed body upon but an old apron.
The little fellow vas mucl, emaciated, and in d
plainly showed the marks Of ropes with which
be had been tied, and the effects Of cruel
beating, while his back, from the came cause,
was mass Of blood and sores.
&Gho Mayor at once ordered the arrest Of the
father, John Weidinger, and placed the child
mother, having young babe in her arms, was
permitted to remain ut home. After the ar
rest the child WAS visited by thousands Of citi-
gems, and tho feeling exhibited by the whole
community WAS most intense. An examina-
ton Of these two tiends in human shape was
had before Maror buchanan Tuesday az
ternoon, and revealed the following additional
facts: John WeidinEer is step-fafher to the
child, and tailor by trade. Both parents arc
Germans.
They have been treating the child cruelty
for moro than year. Although but little over
years Of age, it has been given 4 certain
amount Of work to do daily, and . scanty sup
measured BY their unnstural judgment, which
was sometimes scarcely sufficient to keep it
alive. They have boen in tho habit Of punish
