A CASE FOR LYNcHING.-If all the stories
told be true, and they appear to be well anthem
ticated, the worst abused child on the American
Continent lives on Lafayette street in this city.
The child who is only eight years old, is under
the control of an unfeeling father, and is sub
jected to the tyranny of a harsh step-mother.
She has been seen to take it up and throw it
into corner of the room, distance of six
feet from where she stood. He has been
known to hang it up by the thumbs and leave
it there for hours. The child is one mass of
bruises and its flesh is frightfully lacerated by
the blows it has received. The circumstances
of its birth should give it a peculiar claim upon
its fathers sympathies, but they seem to have
excited only his hatred towards it, If there be
lower hell than that which the sombre i'm
imagination of Dante pictured, it should be re-
served for this wretch of a father. If there be
fortunes more ingenious and more maddening
than those attributed to the devilish invention
of the Spanish inquisator, this man should be
subjected to them.

The Civ of washington Wreck.

A good audience was in attendance at Grand
Army Hall last evening to hear the lecture of
Rev. John Gray, recently of England and
passenger on the lost ship.
Mr.. Gray announced in beginning that he in
tended to preach in this city, but on the earnest
solicitation of friends had consented to devote
the first evening to account of the lost steam
ship and topics growing out of it.
Mr. Gray's account differs but little from
those already published as taken from Col. Par
nell and published week ago. He said there
was no order among the Storage passengers
that the officers took no direction of the ship
that the management of the ship throughout
the voyage was manifestly careless-that the
steerage passengers were obliged to submit to
painful inconvenience. The ship, he said, was
intended to carry 1000 passengers, yet the 600
on board were more than could be comfortably
cared for and that 500 was the maximum num-
Der she should be allowed to take. Mr.. Gray
said he was on the bridge large part of the
time, but hardly ever saw Capt Phillips there.
The bar was continually open and liquor sold
freely No officer but the steward ever went
near the steerage. When the ship struck there
was panic for twenty minutes, and had not the
weather been calm, the scenes must have been
only second to those of the Atlantic. The Off
GERS and crew behaved well in taking off the
passengers, but for four days after landing the
passengers suffered from cold and hunger, when
there was plenty of food and clothing on the
ship. The other details are similar to many
accounts published. He spoke in high terms OF
the steamer Falmouth, her officers and general
management, and thought that the officers of
the City of Washington might well take lessons
of the Falmouth people,
Mr.. Gray will hold service next Sunday at
Grand Army Hail.

ANOTHER SUICIDE.
THE FINALE OF THE TRAGEDY.

1t will be remembered that in our Fridays
issue we gave an account of the suicide at
Cumberland Mills of young girl named Ella
Bachelor, who quarrelled with her lover, Wal
ter Howe, and soon after threw herself into the
Presumpscot Since that melanchoaly event
it is said that Howe has been much depressed
in spirits, and has INDUCED himself in the con-
tinual use of liquor. The circumstances at
tending the death of the girl and the blame at
tached to him by many of his neghbors as
being the cause of the suicide undoubtedly
preyed upon his mind and unsettled it. Last
evening about six o'clock, the affair ended af-
ter the POLITICALLY just manner. Walter Howe
while standing in front of his boarding house,
drew pistol from his pocket and shot himself
through the heart. Death of course soon fol-
lowed. The two suicides, one following so
close upon the other, and the circumstances
which connected them, have caused intense ex-
element in the usually quiet village of Cum
berland Mills.
