4 woman Charged with Istarrl:ng
Her Daughter 10 Death. - -

From the New York Herald, Nov % !
Yesterday afternoon it was reported
at the Coroner S office that Carrie JAN
isch, a child years old. had died from
burns which she received while in the
hands Of her mother, Isabel Janisch.
The residence Of the mother and child
was in the tenement in the rear of $50
" ashington street. Coroner Kessler
Immediately procured further informa-
tion aoout the affair. He learned from
the physician who treated the child
that her feet, legs and body were hor-
ribly burned, and that her suferings
before death were of character to
draw out the sorrow of the least ten
der hearted. The child struggled at
times in most frightful convulsions, and
would then give way to periods of
the most utter exhaustion, during which
she would be little more than. able to
feebly sigh out. the expressions Of her
pain. just previous to her death the
poor little one endured one of the most
awful of these attacks. Medical, skill
could neither save her nor allay her
pain. During TIE time Of her suffering
there was an intense, though quiet, SEN
timent among the people Of, the neigh
borhood against Mrs. Janisch. When
Carrie was known to be dead the most
bitter reproaches and charges Of the
most horrible, crime were cast. at her,
mother All the people declared that
thesimbruted woman was .habitually Is
dfunkard ); and some declared that in
moments Of drunken frenzy she was IN
the habit Of beating her child. q There
was "a division ofsaopinion as to, how
Carrie had been SO fearfuily burned.
Those people who charged. Mrs. Jan
isch with having ill-treated her Child,
said that it was the sole work Of her drink
inaamed brain to devise ways of tortuf:
ing. the poor creature, 50 as TO- satisfy.
the strange and disgusting desire of her
own deprayed nature for the sight Of.

Terrible Affair in Ben,on County.


A terrible affair occurred in the town
of St. George, Benton county, Tuesday
last, for the details Of which we are In
debted to the St. Cloud Times. 1t APP
pears that a man by the name Of John,
Hicks has farm on St. George Prairie,
and one of his sons, Mr.. Sidney Hicks,
came to his placeafor some Ca is. which:
his father had told him he could have.
The young man went to the grancry to
put up the oats, and shortly after, his
father came out, and said that he
guessed he had got enough. This led
to dispute. when the young man
picked up an old axe which
stood near by, and struck his
father once on the head, once
on the neck, and once on the shoulder,
| with the edge Of the tool. It very
luckily happened that the axe was
very dnll, or he would certainly have
split the old gentleman head open, As
soon as he could, the old gentleman
grappled the young man around the
body and and arms, and called for help.
The lady folks in the house came out,
! but by that time the old gentleman had
got the young man down, after which
the axe was taken from him.. and he
let up. lie then got on his wagon load
Of oats, and drove to Sauk Rapids, where
he solo them, and where he was ar:
rested by Samuel Carpenter, sheriff Of
Benton county, upon warrant issued
by his brother, William Hicks. He
was brought to this city late last night,
and lodged in jail. His trial is going
on now in Sauk Rapids, before Mr..
Justus Carpenter, justice Of the peace.
Mr.. Samuel Carpenter says that the
young man is vicious individual, and
that he will probably go to Saltwater
for while at least. The old gentle
man was between sixty and seventy
years of age. From DR.. Gilman, who
was called to dress tho wounds, we
learn that there is a prospect Of the
old gentleman recovering, but at the
time of writing ne is very low, having
| lost a large quantity Of blood. -

white spot wherever q drop of it
touched the clothing. Holes have
been dug four feet into this soda
without reaching bottom. and it wou'd d
certainly be safe to estimate its aver
age depth at three feet. As it extends
over an area of 100 acres, the amount
of sulphate of soda may be easily
computed. But, as this is derived
from constantly flowing spring, il is
fair to presume that the quantity is
simply inaXhaustible.
Mr.. Pontez thought that q furnace
could be erected on the premises at a
moderate expenditure. which would
convert the ernde sulphate of soda
into merchantable carbonate at SO
ton, and this could be delivered in
Chicago at SIS, which would leave a
handsome margin of $50 on each ton
for a staple article of commerce, the
demand for which is so great that its
value would not be effected by this
discovery.
About all of our soda comes from
England, where it is manufactured
from salt, being first converted into
sulphate of soda by the use of sui
phuric acid. After all the processes
are completed, it is then shipped to
America, where duty has to be paid,
and profit to the importer, and it is
sold in New York at $45 per ton. Mr..
Pontez has received numerous letters
concerning the soda lakes of Wyo-
ming, and on his return to Omaha he
will first make an exact analysis of
the soda, and then publish an account
of the same in some scientific journal
for DQblic infOPmation
These lakes were accidentally dis
covered by John LIE Fevre, three years
ago, when out with party. of survey
ors, but it was more than year be-
fore he ascerlained their value, when
he caused a survey to be made and
erected cabin on the rise of ground
that is nearly surrounded by the
series of oflakes.-LaranieI 4 Independent. |

THE WYOMING SODA LAKES.

Yesterday, in company with Mr..
Chas. Pontez, N. X. Boswell, and M.
g. Brown, we visited the soda lakes
that lie between Larmie and Sheep
Mountain, and, Notwithstanding the
reports that were in circulation con-
Gerning the extent of the deposit, its
extent was surprising to the analysts
and the editor, The area of one lake
was over sixty acres. The material
which covers it resembles ice in ap-
pearance and solidity. There having
been fall of rain the night previous,
an inch oI~more of water lay on the
incrusted lake, and this was so highly
impregnated with the soda as to be
damaging to leather. and making

New Insane Asylum.

Thursday morning the Board of Drec-
tors of the new Insane Asylum met at the
Office of Col. G.. NJ. Mc(1hee. The subject
of selecting q physician, who shall, in
company with the Board of Directors, pre-
pare plan for the proposed hospital and
superintend its erection, was again con-
sidered. After due consideration, DIR.
John NJ. Boyd was selected as such ply
stefan. Section 4th of the act establishing
au additional Hospital for the Insane,sSys
that 1.-THE said Directors shall have power
to select and appoint gentleman of thor
Uugh medical education, familiar with the
care and treatment of the insane, who, to
gether with them, shall prepare "a plan for
the proposed hospital and superintend its
erection &c.
1t was considered desirable by the Board
of Directors to have a physician from East
Tennessee, but it was a difficult matter to
find a man possessing all the necessary
qualifications, especially one who was fa-
miliar with the cure and treatment of the
insane. A man possessing the first named
qualifications could be easily found, but
one possessing all the qualifications could
not be found in East Tennessee, hence
they selected DIR. Boyd, subject to the
Governors confirmation.
The Committee then adjourned to meet
on the 9th day of March, when the bids
will be opened and the sites examined by
| the Board and physician, for the purpose
of selecting a location.

rAsr rENNEssrE UNIVERSITY.
Beginning of the summer session.

The summer session of this institution
opened Thursday under the most gratifying
circumstances. The past session has been
the most prosperous one in the history of
the institution. The attendance has been
large, the instruction thorough and the re-
suits gratifying. The discipline among the
students is as good as is usually found in
such institutions, and the ,pcrsoney of the
school equal to any time in the past. This
is source of pride to the friends of educa-
ton throughout the State. The classes in
the institution now can not be surpassed
in the South. The patient perseverance,
and industry of President Humes in the
face of what once appeared as almost in
surmountable obstacles is beginning to be
felt.
New students are coming in, large
number having arrived yesterday, and
there are already two hundred and seven
ty-five students enrolled, which number,
we are assured, will be largely increased
before the end of the session.
The people of Knoxville should and do
feel special pride in this University. 1t
is growing ms. tu'i n, and if everything
moves on harmon sly among its friends,
as will certainly Ue tie case, the time will
soon come when III viii be the Yale of
the SOnth. Why ia aid it not be? We
have the climafJ ...u arr advantages, and
we have President =. Cd Faculty that will
compare faVor-bly with ny institution in
the country. Let our people heartily sec
ond their efforts to build up u first-class
institution, and the time is near at hand
when our most sauguine hopes will be
fully realized.

An Honest Low.

On Tuesday teamster came to the city
from Virginia carrying in his pocket book
a roll of money to the amount of SO, and
some valuable papers. The money was
intrusted to him by parties in Virginia
with a request that he pay it over to Hough
& Co. and have it placed to their credit.
Having done some trading in Rodgers
Bros drug store, he dropped his pocket
book on the pavement in front of their
store just as he was leaving. No one in
the store having noticed the pocket book,
it remained on the pavement until young
Walter Dryden came along and picked it
up, and finding it contained quite sum of
money, and being an honest boy, he step
ped into the drug store and handing them
the book and money, requested them TO
give it to the owner if he should call. The
man called yesterday morning badly
frightened over his loss and was overjoyed
to find his book and every dollar Of the
money in it. AS the money did not belong
to him, and having no more money in his
possession than sufiiciency to carry him
home, he did not reward the boy, but
promised to not forget him on his next trip
to Knoxville. We trust he will keep his
word, as honesty like this should be re-
warded.

baltimore Cattle Market.

THURSDAY, Jan. q, 1874
BEEF CATTLE.-The market this week in the
beginning of operations was by no means active
nor did it improve any rs it progressed. The
highest sales, and those of many otthc best cat
tle consisting Of better tops than last eek, were
made in its earlier stages and at a decline of
shade. Afterwards the downward movement
continued till lalc lower figures were reached
and some few ofthe medium and inferior grades
il was thought showed greater decline. Dealer
considered it one of the hardest markets they
have seen for some time past.
Prices to-day for beef cattle ranged as fol-
lows; Best beeves at 8 75a6 81; that generally
rated first quality 4 50a5 IS; medium or good
fair quality 00a4 so; ordinary thin steers OK
en- and cows 3 00a400; inferior and lowest
grades of cattle 000a0 00-genersl average OF
the market to-day rs; extreme range ofpricee
00a6 81.
Hostile receipts were rather slight this
week, not equal to the demand, especially for
good fat cornled hogs suited for the Philadelphia
market for these there has been quitesn active
demand of the other the supply has been
scarcely up to the needs of our home butchers,
consequently prices are firm at 2ja9 % per 100
lbs net The prospects, some operators think.
show an inclination to higher fguers for the best
fat hogs for the Philadelphia market. Receipts
this week 7l6i head, against 3d. last week, and
T00l head same time last year,
