Inhuman Treatment.

In Washington township resides
man by the name of Wurzef, who is the
owner of large, well-improved farm,
with two-story house. In one corner
of the house, in the upper story, is
little den eight by ten, in which is
box feet inches in length and %
inches wide. There is nothing else in
the room but dirt and few rags. A
living human being has lain in that box
for more than fifteen years. girl 70
years of age, the daughter OF Wurzer.
His neighbors knew he had daughter,
but when asked "what had become OF
her." he would give some evasive reply.
Last week one of his nelghbors made
information that she believed the girl
was not receiving proper treatment, and
she had heard sobs and moaning,
which she supposed came from the girl.
Sheriff Thompson, from whom we learn
the facts, found the girl lying on her
elbows and knees upon a little straw in
the box. She had nothing on her per-
son whatever but piece of dirty
blanket, not fit to cover horse, across
her shoulders. Her head and hands
were as small as those of child 10 years
old. Her hair was cut short. OF course
she was in an idiotic condition. She
actually ate her own offal in the pres
ence of the sheriff, thus showing that
she was not sufficiently fed. She was
crippled SO that she could not stand up
straight. The place was so filthy, the
air so foul, and the whole scene so sick
ening that the sheriff could remain in
the house only long enough to make
the proper orders for the future care of
the wretched being who, for more than
fifteen years, has been confined in that
earthly hell.
The father makes but little excuse for
not taking better care of her, saying
that he could not be with her all the
time. He has been living with his
second wife ten years.-Pott8UiHe (Io'0d)

Almost n Wreck.

Writing to the London Times, nau-
teal correspondent thinks the error of
Captain Williams in allowing the At
lantic to veer so far out of her course,
though at first sight objectionable, was
not without some excuse, and details
what was almost wreck of the Delta,
of the Cunard line, in 1867. writes:
" In August, 1867, 1 was passenger
from Newfoundland to Halifax in the
Cunard steamer Delta, one of the YES
sells that went to the relief of the pas
sengers of the Atlantic. She was at
that time commanded by a man who,
besides standing high as a sailor, was
considered to have more experience in
the navigation of that coast than any
man living, and who had been employed
on this particular service for years. The
usual fog prevailed throughout the
voyage, but all went we'll till the day
before arriving at Halifax, when, at
about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the
captain having just come off duty, there
was sudden shout of breakers ahead,
and, on rushing on deck, o mass of rock
loomed up about fifty yards ahead, just
on the starboard bow. The first officer
had given the order to reverse the en-
gines, but the moment the captain saw
the state of things, he, with presence
of mind and GOODNESS that / shall never
forget, gave the word to drive full speed
ahead, and though the men hesitated at
first to pass the order, he was obeyed,
and putting his helm hard up at the
same time, he actually succeeded in
pushing the ship over lower ledge of
rock that ran out from the main BODY,
and though she struck heavily, there
was by that time sufficient force to carry
her over into clear water beyond. She
was of course good deal shaken, but
the sea being pretty smooth, she struck
upright on her keel. The captain told
me afterwards that if the ship had been
stopped or even reduced her speed the
swell would have carried her broadside
on the higher rocks, and she would
have gone to pieces in moment.
cit turned out that the Delta had
struck on a reef off Country Harbor,
about eighty miles north of Halifax,
having gone eighteen miles out of her
course. I should add that the lead was
kept going the whole time.
" Now, in tits instance, here was an
officer who was as familiar with the
coast as any one could possibly be, but
even he was deceived by these extra
ordinary and apparently unaccountable
currents. If, then, man of such local
experience could be carried eighteen
miles out of his course, is it to be won
dered at that Captain Williams, who it
appears had never been to Halifax be-
fore, should have been the victim of a
similar delusion ?"
