DEvILISH CRUELTY TO A
BOY.
A Mot.er has her Little Son Whipped
with a Wire, Branded and made to
Hold Hot. Goals in his Hand.

From the Adams County (Wis.) Press.
A warrant was issued last Thurs
day Sept. IA, for the arrest of two
men and woman in the town of
Easton, for the most shocking and
inhuman treatment of little boy
some eight or nine years of age.
Out of respect for the relatives and
friends of the accused, we, for the
present, suppress all names.
The circumstances, as related to
us by several persons, are about
these: h-4
The little boy who was so cruelty
abused, is the child of the woman
of a former husband, and the strang-
est part of the story, and what
seems almost incredible, is that the
unnatural mother has been the NOV
ing spirit in inflicting upon her
child all the horrid cruelties he has
endured.
Parties who have examined the
person of the boy say that the skin
of his back is literally cut into
shreds from the whipping the boy
has received with a heavy iron wire
so that there is scracely a fingers
breadth of sound skin upon his per-
son from his neck to his heels; that
the poor boy has been branded
with a hot iron upon his neck and
different parts of his person, and
forced to hold live Goals in one
hand until the flesh and muscles
are scorched and shriveled up;
that his mother has stabbed a nee
die or other sharp instrument into
his scalp in almost innumerable
places, until it has become iniamed
and the hair is falling off; that, in
addition to all these sufferings,
the abused child has been made to
eat his own eXcrement.
Such are the reports, and II the
statements are half true, they form a
story of such strange, unnatural,
inhuman and devilish atrocity as
scarcely has parallel in civilized
society. When brought to the no
tice of the public, the authorities
promptly took the matter in hand,
though it was with difficulty that
the neighbors of the guilty parties
were deferred from visiting summa-
ry justice upon them.
No doubt the reports are exagger-
ated to some extent; but the affair
will probably soon be legally inves-
tigated, and the truth made known

q" An Editor in Heaven. "

Apropos to an article going the
rounds under the above heading, an
exchange presents the following
legend:
Once upon time after the de
mise of one of the corps editorial,
he presented himself at the gate of
the Golden City, and requested ad
mission. The door-keeper asked
him what had been his occupation
while on terra trina? He replied
he had been an editor.
"Well," said the watchman, I'VE
have a crowd of your kind here now,
and they all came in as dead heads.'
If you pay your passage you can
come in; if not, you must place
yourself under the control of a per-
sonage you ruled tyrannically down
below'-meaning the devil.
Not having the wherewith to go
in, our brother of the quill and
scissors posted of, and presented
himself at the entrance of Clootie's
dark domains. A very darkroom
plexioned gentleman stood sentry,
and asked in gruff voice:
"Who comes?
can humble disciple of Faust"
was the calm reply.
"Then hold on, you can't be ad-
mitted," exclaimed the gentleman in
black, evincing considerable agita-
tion, and fiercely scowling upon
him.
"Why not?" demanded the typo,
who began to get some huffish, and
looked around for "sheep's foot
with which to force an entrance.
"Well, SIR" replied his sable
majesty, "we let one of your pro
fession in here many years ago, and
he kept up continual row with his
former delinquent subscribers, and
as we have more of that class of
persons here than any other we have
passed law prohibiting the admis
sion of any editors, only those who
have advanced our interest in their
papers on earth, and even those we
keep in a separate room by them
selves. You have published many
things operating against us, and al
WAYS blamed the devil with every
thing that went wrong, so you can't
come in. We enforce this rule with
out respect to persons, for our own
peace and safety. Now travel"
Casting q droll lear on the out
side sentinel, our typographical
friend started on again, determined
to get above. This time he took
with him an old file of his paper,
and presenting it to the guardian OF
the celestial city, requested that it
might be carefully examined, and
they could see whether he was en-
titled to a free ticket. In due course
of time the conductor came along
and took him in, telling him that he
had been a martyr to the cause OF
human improvement, and that reso-
lutions had been passed to admit all
members of the "art preserYative"
; who had abused the devil while be-
low. He added that as they were
punished enough by being with the
'devil," all their future punishment
| is committed. He further stated
that not one delinquent newspaper
subscriber could be found in Heaven.

Forcing a Daughter to Marry
Her Escape and Adventure.

Irene RobipsOn, bright looking
young woman, aged ..-I9, left her
home in Peoria, Illinois, two years
ago, because her parents wished her
to marry a man old enough to be
her father, and for whom she enter
tanned decided dislike. To guard
against detection she adopted the
habit of boy, and with her hair
cut short, readily passed for boy
of Is or 16. She first went to Chi
cago and there obtained work as a
teamster, passing under the name of
William Franks. She was suspected
of being girl, but denied it, and
left Chicago through fear of being
detected and sent home. She worked
at various places as farm laborer,
but seldom stayed long at one place.
The prying eyes of women were al
most always the first to detect the
imposture. After various adven-
lures she found herself in Troy,
New York, few days ago, and en-
gagged as a deck hand on board a
canal boat, commanded by Capt.
Cabineau. The captains wife &C
cused her of being girl, and she
finally confessed that such was the
fact. She is tired of her rough life,
and wishes to see her relatives, of
which she has heard nothing since
leaving home. Her rough, horny
hands and sunburned face bear wit
ness of her life of toll and expos
ure. Her garb consists of q coat,
much the worse for wear, and torn
in several places, patched panta-
looms, rough woolen shirt, a pair OF
heavy boots, and a battered black
hat. She possesses cheerful dis
position, which even her rough life
has been unable to subdue. When
asked why she did not assume the
garb of her sex when first accused
Of being a girl, she said she was
afraid Of being found by her father
and cOmpelled to return home.

A Double Headed Negro Girl.

.
The Siamese twins have another
rival, which is being exhibited in
Europe. 1t is a two-headed negro
girl. On visiting these two negro
children, as they are termed, the Wis
itor will see, as it were two children
apparently tied back to back for a
frolic. They are nineteen years of
age, and there is nothing repulsive
or indelicate in their appearance.
Their names are Millie and Chris
tine. When they both talk together
both hads move, both tongues are
talking, both brains are thinking
without concert. Touch the head,
the hand or the shoulder of one.
and the other knows nothing of the
touch, but if the foot of either is
tapped once, twice or thrice, the
other will tell you how many times
it has been tapped. They are both
seated on one chair, and the fieshy-
bony connection is uncovered. tits

inches in circumference, and begins

be constant interchange of blood

they are happy, and wish for ne

If there is any spectacle on earth really
painful to sensitive eye it is a frizzy, cris-
Ply, dry and unkempt head of hair. This
is not only an unfailing sign Of slovenness
and ill-breeding, but because it is wholly
unnecessary, and since that Indispensable
article known as 'Barrett's Hair Restora-
tive'' has found its way into the dressing
room and boudoir of every lady and gentle
man, the Improvement in capillary adorn-
ment is truly wonderful. Everybody de-
sires a fine head of hair, which is the chief
attraction to the human form, but among
the numerous nostrums put up and palmed
of as Hair "Restorers," "Renewers,'
'sSalvations'' and the like, made from ole
fashioned played out hair DYES, the great
question with all who are seeking for per
feet and satisfactory means of saving theil
hair is ''what preparation shall use n
This question, however, is easily settled By
the fact that to "Barrett's' was awarded
SILVER MEDAL over every other competi
tor at the New Hampshire State Fair il
1866.

DIED SUDDENLY OF HEART
DISEASE,

How common is the announcement. Thou
sands are suddenly swept into eternity by
this fatal malady. This disease generally
has its origin in impure blood filled with
irritating, poisonous materials which, cir
culating through the heart, irritate its deli
cate tissues. Though the irritation may at
FIST be only slight, producing little palpi-
tation or irregular action, yet by and by the
disease becomes firmly seated, and inham-
alton, hypeitrophy, or thickening of the
lining membrane or of the valves, is produ-
ced. How wise to give early attention to a
case ofthis kind. Unnatural throbbing or
pain in the region of the heart should adj
monish one that all is not right, and if you
would preserve it from further disease, you
must helpit to beat right by the use of such
remedy as shall remove the cause of the
trouble. Use DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery before the disease has become toe
seated, and it will, by its great blood puri
tying and wonderful regulating pr operties
effect perfect cure. 1t contains medicinal
properties which act specifically upon the It's
sues Of the heart, bringing absut healthy
action. Sold by all frst-class druggists.
