MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR IN HOLLIS, N. H.-Pr06-
able Murder of a Child.-The citizens of Hollis,
are just now in "nine days WONDER" over
strange affair that has come to the notice of the
authorities. 1t appears that some two months
ago young woman named Abby Scribner,
whose character has not been above reproach,
residing in the centre of the town with her moth
er, gave birth to child This circumstance was
Z the occasion of considerable talk. and it was
whispered that there was some doubt about the
child parentage. Nothing was done in the mat
ter until this week when the authorities wereno-
titled by neghbor to the family in question that
the child was missing. The selectmen at once
were informed that the infant belonged to
another woman, that it only boarded with them
and had been taken away. This story did not
satisfy the authorities, and messenger was
dispatched to this city, with instruction to OBJ
tain the opinion of cur City Solicitor in the
premises Mr.. Sawyer advised them to make
some further Investigations and the result was
the selectmen visited the house second time,
when the young woman, with much indigna-
ton, requested until the next morning to obtain
ply sician's certificate that everything was all
right. Time was granted but on visiting the
house the following day, it was discovered that
the young woman and her mother had taken
haSty departure A note was left behind in
which it was stated that the body of the child
was buried under a tree in the garden A SUBJ
sequent search proved the statement to be true.
We are informed that no marks of violence
could be discovered ON the body. Everything
considered it is mysterious affair that Should
be thoroughly investigated. A warrant has
been sworn out for the arrest of the guilty
parties, but as their whereabouts is not known,
there is doubt about their meeting the pun
ishment the law inhcts. ~. H. Tele-

Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1871-03-31

How gullible is this world A new
contribution 10 our American history is
making. 1t is sumner. 1t overturns
the theory that Washington was made
childless that his country might call him
father. They are taking testimony in
New York to show that he was the father
of the late Governor POsey, Of Indiana.
They are actually doing it, II is sad to
think that nothing is secure. There is
a general overhauling OF things. After
Byron became dust, an enterprising
female in America made a contribu-
ton to his biography. Il is de
nounced by the world as a wan
ton calumny. Il did not effect its pur-
pose, though it did this: 1t sent a Islander
screaming after his memory. People in
Washington's day did not know him nor
anything Of his affairs. Seventy years
after his death his domestic affairs begin
TO be understood. We can almost smell
the Potomac fish frying in his kitchen.
As we have conquered time, trampled
space under our feet, Why not take an
excursion to the past and see what the
cd fellows have been doihg7 Why not
review history and correct its blupders
Why not photograph the dead world
aud condense it into the size Of a
