One of the most cruel cases of infant muir
der that has come to our notice, has just oc-
Cured in South Barton. About two years
ago Frank Kimball of that place married n
girl not noted for amiableness or chastity,
and some time during last winter they had
child which was sickly. and seems to have
( inherited loathsome disease. The inhu-
man mother, from the time Of it's birth, has
hated, neglected aud abused it, and has f
naily succeeded in forcing it out Of the world.
The neighbours, having been informed of the
cruelty, have visited the british mother and
tried to persuade her to use it more kindly
but their entreaties were unavailing A few
iays since the child died, and those who
laid it out found pitable sight. 1t was
covered with bruises, and the marks of fo-
gers were seen upon its legs and arms, where
it bad been pinched and roughly handled
one arm was broken, and the whole body o.
the child was covered with dirt and filth
The neighbors say that the babe had been
left alone all night, and that It's mother h,G
, obliged it to lie for hours upon its back with
it's arm under the body so that it could no
put it's fingers in its mouth in the vain at
tempt to obtain the food required to keep j
from furnishing. 1t is said that when thu
child died, and the mother was notified o
the fact mot being in the room at the time,
sbe remarked 50 that there was no such d
good news" Why the good citizens of tina
| place have tolerated such cruelty toward
2 fellow being, or still allow the fendish par
ents to run at large is mystery we canno
, explain. Monitor.
