A SAD AND SHOCKING AFFAIR.-The
people of this town have been considera-
bly, excited for few days past over the
death Of girl named Anna Follen, whose
widowed mother lives at the western ex-
tremity of the village on the Lake road.
As nearly as we can learn the facts (which
public policy demands should no longer

unanimous conclusion that an abortion
