DEAR Sin:-I have a horrible tale to tell
YOU, which have seen with my own eyes,
AZ did some fifteen others of our citizens.
relate ii to you, 80 that you may be able to
do the public justice (if justice can be done
IN such case, by holding the villain up to
public scorn and exccration. What l state
to YOU is true, every word Of it. A man
lives in this town with his two sisters. The
house they live in belongs to him. During
the last eighteen months he has kept u
yodng lady as hired girl to do the work for
the family. lie and the hired girl slept up
stairs, n thin partition separating their
rooms, while his sister slept down stairs.
The young woman is n very beautiful girl,
and a girl whose character stood high in this
town. On last Thursday morning, the 10th
inst, she disappeared from the house about
daylight. A messenger was sent to her
fathers house to ascertain il she had gone
home (her father lives about seven miles
from town.. The messenger returned nbou,
4 o'clock in the evening with tho informa.
ton that the girl had not been home. I'm.
medintcly q party II men, some fifteen oi
us. started to hunt for the girl, in the hills

track, and tracked her about one mile, when
we found her in thick bunch Of brush,
with an infant wrapped up in her dress.
The child was aiiye and comfortable the
poor girl was almost chilled to death. Had
We started an hour later ON her track, night
would hare oyer.aken us before we could have
found the girl, and ere morning she would
have chilled 10 death. The girl confessed in
the presence Of her own mother, and others
that the father of the child is the man nj
whose honse she had been living. That II

lcOnylnced. The girl is about twenty on'
years old, now. She loyed this man az only

been done for her. IL !; not a nice man tha
can turn his dwelling house into a house o
I'LL fame? His sisters are both estlmabl'
ladies, and SYM athze with them 10 ib'

TO the Editor Of the Herald;
DEAR Sra I'll wrote you yesterday giylni
you the facts in case just developed whicl
is truly hsartrending. II you had hcnr'
tho vail that went up from the poor CIR
when we found her, nearly chilled TO death
you would never forget il. Many Of OH
citizens believe that Fay knew the girl wa
in the hills when she was first missed
There was no sign Of any after birth wher
we found her. The girl now tells that sh
had the child in fay's stable. Fay nn'
- hunted for the girl in the morning
each looked in his stable for her. Nov.
80, ms very strange, inasmuch ns she wa
conf. ed IN the stable, ihai he could no
have se,.a ig1ications Of it while searchin
there No, ~ er to hours after she had bee
confined in th< pla'c. | wish - ha
looked in Fay's s,shle also. The impre'
sion is that the girl, ehen khe ionhd fa
would not marry her. wouiu Il, u De S"'9tht
by him. Hence she did not l. ave ray
household. She says Fay was gong :" se'
her home to-day, but that she was con. ,a' =.
sooner than she expected. This il VIII. IA
did not have her Hwsy. When she was u
and down all that night, as she was, an'
then missing next morning, could il be pos
sihle iha, Fay did not know what was up
lie must certainly have surmised the caus
Of her strange absence. and it does Gppea
strange TO us all why he did no; raise th
alarm until late in the evening. As it was
darkness very nearly shut her out from II
until the next day, and then death woul'
have stilled her tongue forever. She ha
the sympathy Of everybody.
