4 HORRIBLE CASE or STARVt-
TION AND DEATs1.
4 Mother ana Child

On Saturday, November 9Th, Mrs.
Brauuon, with young child, appeared in
the village of South Berlin, \. y, on the
line of the Harlem Extension railroad. She
went to several houses without gaining adj
mission. At one place she was given food,
and soon after left. On Wednesday last n
gentleman went into the South Berlin coal
kilns, near the village, when he was
astoundcd at finding the woman
burrowed there, with nothing but
an old door TO protect her from the in
clcmcncy of the weather. She was living,
but her little child lay dead by her side,
frozen to death. When found--in feeble
voice said she had not eaten anything for
nine DAYS. When asked if she knew her
child was dead, answered, YES !. that it
was better off. "
She was taken in charge by the town
poormastcr, who Immediately sent for Dr..
f. A. Hull, but the poor woman died be
fore the physician arrived. The physician
said she had not been frozen. Her limbs
were black and her body in horrible con-
dition.
She was married. but her husband had
left her and was living with another wo-
man. She had pleasant look, and, to all
appearances, had seen better days. THIS
is one of the most terrible cases of starya-
ton on record, and it seems almost impos-
sblc that "a person could have submitted
themselves to such voluntary starvation,
especially mother, to abandon herself and
child to such terrible death. Great cX-
citcmcnt prevails among the people at
South Berlin over the affair,

seriously injured at an early hour on
Thursday morning, remained in an uncon-
scious state until yesterday afternoon
when some glimmer of returning reason
appeared He is still in critical condition
and is attended by DR.. John \. Mead.
1t was rlimorcd about the streets yestcr-
day that Mr.. Coyn did not fall down the
stairs of the front entrance at the Bates
House, but that he received his injuries by
falling down the stairs in another block
and was taken into the Bates House, and it
is also reported that he was dealt blow
by some party, instead of falling down n
flight of stairs. However this may be, the
narration as it appeared in THE GLOBE of
Thursday morning was precisely rs it was
told to the person who wrote it by two diff
ferent parties. The messenger who was
sent for physician, said "a man has been
killed by falling down the Bates House
stairs" He was asked 'f the man was
dead" He replied, mo, but he is but just
alive "

DEATH or Dr.. WM. II. R0cHWEti.
DR.. W. II. Rockwell. late superintendent
of the Vermont asylum for the insane, vt
Brattleboro died at that institution ON
Sunday at the age of nearly II years. For
the past year and half he has been IN a
declining state of health, and wholly con
fined 10 his room in consequence OF trac-
ture sustained by fall from his carriage
in May, 1872. In August OF that year he
resigned his position which he had held Tor
thirty-six years, a longer period OF service
than had fallen to the lot of any ether in
dvitlual in the like capacity in tins couh-
try. The history of the institution with
which he had been identified from lis open
ing, is the history of his life work. Win
but slender endowment at the beginning
and subsequent very limited aid from the
State, the institution is the work OF his own
creation, and certainly no man was more
devoted to n single object than was he to
this. He was possessed of rare qualities
both of head and heart. or indomltablc
energy, far-sighted and selt-rellaht' he was
able to accomplish, under difficulties which
would have discouraged most men, cherish
ed purposes and great results. AS a ply
sclan he was sympathizing and sagacious,
and retained with ease the fullest conf
dence of his patients. DIR. Rockwell was
native of East Windsor, Conn. gradu-
