One Of the best known citizens Of vii.
ton has u daughter, who, for two years,
has had q rather bad name, The daugh.
ter is about seventeen years Of age, hand
some, intelligent and Of winning manners,
Years agO her mother died-aud in due
time step-mother assumed maternal
control Of her, and ere long was laid al
rest beside the foFmerwiiG, mtle course
ol year the father married again, and
gave his child another guardian. The
fathers business called him away from
home frequently, and occasionally he was
gone for weeks ut time.
The daughter would have her own way
during his ab'ence and kept company her
stcpmOther did not approve Of, tho girl
lcing only in her first teens; but advice
and warning were Of no avail, and soon
the child was on the road 10 ruin. For
the past two years, as we have heard, she
has had u hard reputation, and since last
summer her conduct has been u good deal
like that Of most every fallen woman.
The father went away from home week
before last, aud Oh Saturday night u week
ago the stcpmOthcr objected to the girPS
receiving company at her home, and the
girl
TURNED HER sTEP"MOTIIER OUT DOOIS
and obliged her to go to neighbor's for
shelter, The girl remained IN tho house
from that time, and IL became the even.
ing resort for several young men, some OF
them sons Of the most respectable citizens.
The house was in very respectable
neighborhoOd, too. This fact had much
to do In fastening the evenly We are about
10 describe--this, and the further fact
that all acquainted with the stepmOther
sympathizel with her 10 an extent that
kindled Indignation.
Ladies consulted over the matter, and
day before yesterday twelve or more OF
them resolved that they would no longer
hermit the Young woman to reside in the
city. They evidently considered them
selves entirely competent 10 take the law
INTO their own hands, feeling probably
that the statute law prohibiting houses Of
ill.fame was hardly severe enough IN it4
penalties. At any rate they determined
to pull the house, and fixed upon Friday
evening for the time. Accordingly, ut s
o'cIocNFrilay evening last, they assem-
blrd al the house Of one Of their number.
II was cold windy night and II was
likely that there would bG few persons ~
the street 10 notice them. Five Of their
number were selected rs chief workers
So they made their way to the hated dom
iciIe. The curtains were down, but there
was light in one Of the rooms, and sounds
Of froliC could be heard. They tried the
doors, md all were locked.
I'm the ward were several large Ir0l
Iwlts. such ~ are used in fastening tim

bolts, and with them 1859 H''

and soon there was excitement enough

They found nice state Of things. IN
inmates were four young men and IN
