A shocking case of cruelty to O Child
was discovered recently. in New York,
on information given the police. It
was found that Francis and Mary Con-
nelly, living ut BIS West and As street,
had young orphan girl, named Mary
Ella Mccormick. aged eIght years. who
they had kept in their rooms since she
was mere child. She was being sub
lected to the most cruel and inhuman
treatment. was half starved, kept lite.
rally naked, was always confined and
never saw the street in her life. She
was whipped daily, her skin cut, etc.
The neighbors testified to hearing a
ohild's cries daily when she was beaten.
The Conpellys will probably be severely
punished.

men have made an offer uf compromise,
which is contained in the following pa
per: '1u consideration of our said hus-
bands aud fathers signing tho pledge to
abstain from the use of Intoxicating
drinks. VIC do hereby pledge ourselves to
henceforth and forever wear no more
wool, flax. iute. horse hair, thread, or
anything else on our heads, except the
hair that grows there, and use no more
newspapers. except as men use the
same" This pledge is being circulated
among the ladies for signatures, and, if
they will accept the terms, then peace
and sobriety ensue at once. Our private
opinion, however, is. that if intoxication
does not cease until the women consent
to give mp false hair and padded hips,
that the reign of King Alcohol will be
perpetual.
