 A most remarkable record of sunex.
 amplea, disgusting and repeated crime has
 lately come to light in this county, which
 the eAarchnaan censures secular journals
 for exposing. for the sole reason that it is
 so disgusting and disereditabla In other
 words, when a criminal commits a crime so horrible that the record of it is-very dis.
 tasteful reading. and when community suffers crime to reach such pass, unre-
 buked. in their midst. that its thorough
 exposure becomes an intensely disagree able task. the public prssseis Iefectual- Fly silenced [ sThe very magnitude of the crimes prevents that general notice and just indignation which they, should excite. and deprives the.public of the ad. vantage which it should gain from the ex- posture of 9 species of wickedness. hitherto unsuspected! aosl 6ssIGq8x e5 g'dado51 :.
 Such a position we hold to be not simply 8 mistake, but positive cowardice. That much good results from the exposure of such crimes is manifest already. The at. tention of people throughout tbe State has been directed to the matter The arrest of a man at Hartford for the disgusting crime which led to the Cornwall murder, is re. ported in Saturdays couiaa. while the at- tempt to commit such, an offence was promptly proceeded againstby the author ities of New Haven. ad Another good re- suit is sure to come of waking up good, religious people, women and ministers es- pecially, to the amount of more than hea- then barbarism which disgraces certain city and country localities The fact that in the country towns of Connecticut fam fly has been. allowed to grow up grossly ignorant and unspeakably wicked. that for twenty years this ignorance has been known, or should have been known, to au- thorities whose duty 1t was to prevent it, that the wickedness has been known or suspected for years and yet has gone un- punished, should be brought home to the knowledge of every citizen, male orfemale, of this countyand state.e Until the extent of this manifest neglect of duty, it's causes and consequences, are we'll understood, we may be sure there will be no remedy. When the extent of the evil, it's causes and consequences are understood, we may be sure it will be remedied.a We feel very confident Litchfield county will not allow another monster twenty years growth in crime without let or hindrance. We feel certain that check to similar crimes throughout the State has been made by the mere publication of, this.i Yet,. had the counsel of the GHas,chpsan been followed, a portion of the inhabitants of Cornwall, a few people in Litchfe1d. a few lawyers and 8 fewjurors, would alone have been cogni-, zant of facts that ought to arouse a whole nation. to sense of the general neglect of aSs oHsles' .&,341s ass-1 zEaB .e.-s5w slas.a
 The Gsurcbasan should also remember that if christianity had done a little of what it professes to do, for this miserable family, had it taught them the first principles of to say nothing of religion, this frightful case could never have occurred. The religious as we'll as.i the secular DO. lice have proved so worthless that series of frightful crimes, occupying many years in their perpretation, failed to attract their. And now that the whole iniquity, and the whole neglect. have come to light, we are asked to follow, the example of the Priest and Levite and avoid the shocking spectacle by simply ''passing by on the other sidel" V~si@ \ 'e- s'., ''i @
