A Singular Case Naturally Explained.
In regard to the article, "a Singular
Case" published in this paper July
"A. it has been remarked that the Sis
tiers Of Charity, in whose charge the
Asylum in Cleveland, and not any
Father, as it was stated, never send
children out of the Asylum, except
such ones of which they can dispose
freely, and then to such families
where they know that their education
is not neglected. That MIR. Gorgan
has made this understanding with the
Sisters, and that he has contributed to
the support of his boy cannot be be-
lieved, as evident reasons prove the
contrary; for this Grogan has notsee
his child any more since the time he
was admitted into the Asylum. A
short time before the boy had left the
Asylum he came there and enquired
after such boy, but without saying
that he was the father.
As Grogan came in state of drunk
enness into the Asylum, the Sister, of
course, refused to give him informs-
ton, which, If given, would have
been of little value to him. But the
next day, when sober, she told him
where he was.
In the article it is stated that he was
vouchsafed but very little information
by the Priest of New Reigle. That is
downright slander, for he was re-
ceived with due respect by the Priest,
who, judging by his outward demean-
or, believed him to be a respectable
man; and after having explained his
poor situation, greatly enlisted the
feeling Of the latter in his own favor.
The Priest did not refuse to give him
information about the boy, for he was
sent with the boy to Mr.. Peter Bros
mer the first day he came to New
Reigle, with whom the boy lived.
Mr.. Grogan did not insist upon hay
ing the boy. The first day be was
well eontented that his boy was with
such family.
1t was further stated that il Grogan
would insist upon having his chiid
the Priest would excommunicate him
at once That is greatly ridiculous.
suppose Grogan does not even know
what is meant by communicating,
and who has the right to do so.
What proves the paternal feelings
and love Of Grogan to his boy and his
whole character is this: he stayed in
the same house with his boy for about
ten days, without making himself
known as his father. How can it be
possible for any natural father, when
he has not seen his child any more
for about six or seven years, to con-
ceal so long the natural feelings which
nature herself has impaired to parents
towards their children.
AS regards Mr.. Peter Brosmer, IL |
must be stated that the boy did never |
complain in the least for being in |
want of anything, or for having to |
work too hard. He was perfectly sat |
isfied with his new master, and al |
though Grogan, his father, advised |
him several times to steal away from |
Brosmer, he could not be induced to |
do so, and when the Sheriff came he
wept.
These are the undeniable facts Of
the whole case. The writer of these !
lines would never have been induced 4
10 hand in an article on the singular
case if the cunning and mean ex-
pressions about the Asylum, this in
stitution invaluable to society, would
not have called for an answer.
