Mother and Child Frozen to Death.

On Tuesday, the 18th, Mrs. Jos. Num-
huber (sister of Mrs. Henry EmmeD OF
Spring Hill, went to neighbours house,
about three quarters of a mile distant, to
spend the evening. taking with her her
nursing child. About ten o'clock she
started to return home, the neighbor
woman accompanying her part way. She
did not reach home that night, and her
husband, who was in the house with their
other child, supposed she had remained
at the neighbor: S. Search was made all
next day and during part of Thursday,
when the body of the dead woman was
found only few yards from her own
home, and within four feet of her the stiff
fened corpse of her little one. 1t is, in
deed, sad case.

Narraganset with him in the summers of

not visit Washington together. I was
in sympathy with Tilton in the woman's
rights movement, and visited Newport to
attend a meeting with HIM. I acted as
counsel for Thton in his dealings with
Bowen. The contract between them was
settled for $1,000 from May, 1871, to
May, 1873.

BY B. F. TAYLOR,

The rooster stalks on the managers ledge,
He has a tail like scimetar's edge.
marshaps plume on his afghan neck,
An admiral's stride on his quarter deck.
He rnles the roost and he walks the bay
with dreadful cold and Turkish way.
Two moadside fires with his rapid wings
This sultan, proud OF a line OF kings
One gutteral laugh, four blasts of horn,
Five rusty syllables rouse the morn!
The Saxon lambs in their wooden tabs
Are playing school with the a, b, abs.
A, eli, O! All the cattle spell
Till they make the blatant vowels tell.
And half-laugh whinny fills the stalls
When down i'll the rack the clover falls.
A dove is waltzing round his mate
Two chevrons black on his wings OF slate.
And showing off witha wooing note
The satin SHINE of his golden throat
It is Ovid's "Art of Love" re-told
In binding fine of blue and gold!
All, the buxom girls that helped the boys,
The noble Helens Of humber Troys-
AS they stripped the husks with rustllng folo
From eight rowed corn as yellow as gold,
By the candle light in pumpkin bowls,
And the CLEANS that showed fantastic holes
In the quaint old lanterns tatooed tin,
From the hermit glim set up within;
By the rarer light in girlish eyes
AS dark as wells, or as blue as SKIES
hear the laugh when the ear IS red,
see the blush with the forfeit paid,
The cedar cakes with the ancient twist,
The cider cup that the girls have kissed
And see the fiddler through the dusk
As he twangs the ghost Of "Money Musk"
The boys and girls in double row
Wait face to face till the magic bow
Shall whip the tune from the violin,
And the merry pulse of the feet begin.

The Catholic Industrial School Real
Estate Distribution--Evcry Man
Gets q Lot.
The managers of this excellent and
deserving enterprise have most wisely
decided to chan,;e the original design
in the distribution of the real estate
which is made for the benefit Of the in
stitution named in the advertisement
on the first page, where full particulars
will be found. The idea is to reduce
the number of shares from 5000 to 1903,
and to increase the price of them to
$3.50 each, and as there are 1913 parcels OF
real estate to be disposed of, each share
holder must get one of the parcels.
The wisdom of this change will be ap.
parent when it is considered, as shown
by the canvass thus far. that many
discovering the advantages of the pro
ject, desire to and do purchase large
number of shares. while those who are
desirous ofinvesting, and cannot afford
to purchase full share can easily form
clubs, and by paying a small amount
acquire chance Of becoming part own
er in the grand $4,000 prize, or at
any rate, get nearly their money back
from the sale of the real estate which
they are certain to drdw. As the
scheme non stands each share wiH
draao a prize. and the chances of oh.
tanning one of the grand prizes is in.
creased in large proportion.
The payments,according to the new ar
rangement, will be 5000 or or before
the first of March, and $50 in year
from that time. The demand for the
shares throughout the State has been
considerable and the approval Of the
new plan is very general. It is pleas
ant to observe that responsible parties

said he had written letter to Beeche1

an interview after the one on the Goth
learned that a letter was sent to Beecher.
At my interview with Beecher shortly
after l told him of the charges preferred

story. l don't think la1ched or locked
the door. We then went to Tilton' s
house.
| Witness was asked whether Tilton had
told him the stories that were told Tilton
by Bowen.
Ex.Judge Fullerton objected and the
court overruled the objection.
Witness answered Tilton had told him
some ofthe stories. He told me Bowen
said he (Tilton) had gone to Winstead,
Conn.,, with lady and acted improperly
with her. This was all Tilton told me
about the Winstead matter. Tilton did
not tell me how his conduct was improper
or the name Of the lady. He said Bow.
en- stated that this was on featuring
tour. He did not tell me any other sto.
ry then. Think this was anterior to
Dec. 30th. Don't remember when and
where he told me this.
He did not tell me his contracts with
Bowen were threatened unless he could
explain this story.
When told Beccher that Bowen was
treacherous man meant to convey to
him that Bowen's stories told Tilton were
not to be believed.
When left my house on the 30th of
December, to visit Beecher, was friend
of Tilton. l was not Beecher's enemy,
nor his close, intimate friend. When
Beecher came out with me I preferred
him my friendship. l did this without
Tilton's consent or knowledge.

the 3lst, at his house. Do not rememb

On that day visited Beecher after Z.
He was not at home when [ called. He
came in shortly afterwards. Had an in.
terview with him in room on the second
story. l began the conversation by say
ing he would think this a strange inter-
view and told him he had obtained
Theodore's permission to have an
interview with his wife, when he
obtained the letter Of retraction, and
said his course was dishonorable; l came
for the letter of retraction; and he said
his recantation would be the only de-.
Tense for his family in case of his attack.
He said with great sorrow he had loved
Elizabeth Tilton very much, and through
that love for her he had fallen, and not
through lust. He avowed his intention
to throw himself on my friendship, as he
was on the brink Of moral Niagara.

knowledged that the scheme is the most
liberal and deserving ever offered to the
public. The change must recommend
itself to those who invest from purely
business motives, while those Who par

nifty of aiding the grand scheme in
more substantial manner, and of seeing
the Industrial school reality within a
comparatively short time. .
All the property mentioned in the
scheme is frst-cass, and most eligibiy
