A WAsn!YdroH CoUHrY uoRnoR.-A
family living in Matamoras, WashintOn cosa-
ty, Ohio, by the name Of Daley, had an idi,
otic sou about II years Of age, who annoyed
the ncishbors considerably by takin. aoything
he saw that pleased his fancy. The neigh
bors insisted that the child should be sent to
au Asylum. where he could have proper at.
tcntion. The parents concluded they could
manage him; so they got " small chain and
fastened i. around his neck, and gave him in
charge Of his other brothers, who drove him
around the streets, or wherever they wcut.-
If tho child stopped to look at anything that
attracted hi, a,cution, they would give him
a Gu. of the whip aud drive him on, When
they were tired Of driving him around, he was
taken to hog pen and the chain fastened up
overhead, SO he could no; reach it, and left 10
stand in The hot sun.
The ncighbo@ protested against such treat
mcnt, and he was then takca to the house and
chained on the porch so that he could neither
sit nor lie down. The child, being subject to
fits, was left in this condition by the patents,
who well knew, that fit was coming on the
child, the faihcr going to his work at the
lower end Of town and tho mother up stairs
in tho house, when n neighboT passing saw
the child hanging dead, his Knees "Cariy
