The Auburn, On. W Bulletin
gives currency to the story that Frank
Walworth stands in fair way to be
set free be fore many months. Young
Walworth, it will be remembered,
was young man engaged in the
study Of law at Saratoga Springs,
where he resided with his mother, a
beautiful and accomplished woman.
His father, who lived apart from her,
having insulted his mother, Frank
provided himself with a pistol, went
to New York city, sought his father
out at hotel where he was living, as
cended to his room, shot him to death,
and then came deliberately down and
informed the book keeper what he
had done. He was tried, convicted
of murder in the second degree, and
sentenced to the State Prison for life.
He was first taken to Sing Sing, then
transferred to Auburn, and having
subsequently been adjudged insane,
he was removed to an asylum. Ever
since the transfer his mother has
clung to him with all the teDacity
that inheres to maternal love. A lady
of powerful magnetic attraction, and
versed in all the accomplishments OF
society, she has found no difficulty in
drawing to her side the sympathies Of
all with whom she has come in con
tact in the pursuit of favor for her
plea and leuiency tor her son. From
the lowest attacbe Of the asylum or
prison to the highest functlonary Q
either, all seem to surrender their con,
victions and become enlisted ON the
side of the suffering woman. From
Sing Sing to Auburn, and from Au-
burn to the asylum, .Walworh's pro
gress has been uniformly toward a
lettering of the circumstances sur
rounding his custody. The Counts
sion appointed to examine Walworh
consists of Judge Bacon OF Utica, and
DR.. Gray, Superintendent of the State
Insane Asylum, and If their opinion is
to be taken, final pardon of Wal
worth will be granted presently. Then
Walworth will be taken out of the
country, and will return only when
his crime and his imprisonment are as
much forgotten as they can or perhaps
ever will be.

Last Saturday the Central Ju
niors went to Windsor to play q game
of base bail with the first nine Of that
place, but they found picked nine,
two OF them players hailing from
Proctorsville (Taylor and Mallone).
With such odds against them the
Juniors went in and played a fine
game, the score standing 81 for the
picked nine, and l6 for the Juniors.
Two years ago this Windsor club
challenged the State, beng cracked
club, aud to-day they dare not play
the Juniors without sending to Proc.
torsville for help, SO as not to get beat
by.a junior club Of boys, for there is
but three in the Juniors that are out
of their teens. For shame, Windsor
base ball club, you bad better put
your heads beneath your wings and
step down and out Of the ring. We
thought at the time that it was very
ungen tlemanly act (and little suakey)
and we still think the same, for ar
old crack club to challenge a club
Of boys, who have not been organized
but about three months, and then send
to another old crack club for helr
to beat parcel Of boys. Oh, shame
where, oh where is thy blush? Oh
scenery, where hast thou fled?
During the past two weeks 320
car loads of stock has been down The
Central, LIS of cattle and sheep and
142 of hogs.

besides other useful presents, amount
ing in all 20 about $50, which We're
presented By the Rev. II. T"eyillian,
with few very appropriate remarks
and prayer. The tables were very
bountiIully spread by the ladies. After
partaking of the bountltul repast re
marks were made by several present.
The wish was expressed that they
might live to enjoy many such occa-
sions as the company dispersed, feel.
ing no doubt that it was more blessed
to give than to receive.
