A GOSPEL Ex-POUNDER

Springfield Republican April 10
Ihere has been much suppressed ex-
cltement at Amherst of late over the
alleged brutality of Rev. Mr.. Lothrop,
a retired clergymen, toward his family.
Suspicion of this was aroused last fall,
when Miss Anna Lothrop, aged 20, a
cultivated young woman and fine mu-
slclan, ran away from her home; but
the present revelation of Rev. c.. D.
Lsthrop's gross ill-treatment of his
wife and three daughters, extending
over term of years, comes through
the confessions of Mary, aged II, to
her pastor, Rev. Mr.. Jenkins, of the
congregational church. The girl told
the story with the full intention, as af-
terward appeared by a letter which
she had written, of committing suicide;
but she was taken in charge by Rev.
Mr.. Jenkins, lawyer W. A. Dickinson
and Prof. Edward Hitchcock, through
whom the matter will probably get be-
fore the church, if not into the courts
Meantime Mary. has been concealed
from Lothrop and evidence has come
to light that would seem to leave no
doubt of the ex-minister's conviction
of the most revolving and ,naccount-
able cruelty. The shock of the expos
ure is greater because Lothrup has
been especially prominent in prayer
meetings and church work.
The picture of a Christian minister
acting the ruffian to his wife and
daughters, us Mary tells it, is not an
inviting one. 1t is charged that he
has repeatedly horse.whipped them all,
and seems to have kept the fam:
lily upon insufficient and disgusting
food. Mary says that she has been
repetedly beaten, and bore the evil
dence upon her person that finally sent
her to the minister to tell the story of
her wrongs.
Mary wished to attend church and
pledged herself to give 10 cents week.
This he refused to do and in order
to get it, she bought and peddled books
from house to house, and paid it her.
self. He used to tell Mary that she
was awkward and homely, and that
he was ashamed to see her on the
street.
Mrs. Lothrup as is often the case,
sustains her husband in everything.
She was Il step-mother te the children,
and the father always punished them.
She insists that her breakfasts are as
sumptuous as a good many peoples din
ners, that Mr.. Lothrup has sacri feed
everything for his children, and that
he didn't hurt her any when he put
her out of the room when he was
little overbalanced from sickness.

THE GREELEY MANSION.

New York Sun. 10th.
All that is left of Horace Greeley's
old homestead in the woods at Chap
paqua is 4 cellar full of debris and a
high brick chimney. The structure
was destroyed by fire on Friday eve
ming. The tenants who had occupied
the house during the past year moved
out on Tuesday, and Col. Smith, the
husband of Ida Greeley, employed a
woman to clean the house preparatory
to repainting it for occupancy this
summer by himself and wife. To heat
the water needed by the scrubbing
woman, a fire had to be built in an
open fire place, but at four O'Clock,
when Col. Smith visited the house,
this was but heap of dying embers,
and the woman believed it to be out
when she closed the house an hour
later. At half-past six the flames of
the burning house were seen above the
hill which hides it from the village,
but when the villagers reached the
scene the entire building was ablaze,
and in little while it was totally con-
sumed: There is no suspicion of in
cendiarism, and only a surmise that
the flames sprang from the embers on
the hearth.
Beyond a barrel of vinegar, nothing
was in the house when it burned. All
Mr.. Greeley's books, manuscripts, and
valuable works of art are safe in the
house on the edge Of the farm in the
keeping of his daughter.
The intrinsic value of the burned
house was small. 1t was the most Or
binary kind of frame cottage, two
stories high and shaped in the simplest
style:
In it Horace Greedy spent the twenty
years that succeeded his purchase of
the Chappaqua property. In it he
wrote, reared his children, received
his friends, and lead that quiet life
that made the rustic neighbors wor-
ship him as a demi-god.

Small Pox.

The appearance of Small Pox in
many places of our state and the con-
timed spread of the disease where it
has found foothold, call for word
of warning and advice from those who
have been the guardian of the Public
Health.
The average yearly death rate in
Wisconsin is somewhat over one hum
dred, while the average number of
cases, annually exceeds four hundred.
Already ,cjfhin the last three months.
these numbers have been exceeded
and unless vigorous measures are
adopted it will exact much larger
tribute of human life.
The experience of Wisconsin in
this respect is not exceptional. This
loathesome and very fatal disease Is
visiting other localities to such an ex-
tent that those who have watched its
progress, greatly fear wide spread
epidemic of it during the coming win
ter months.
To be forewarned should be to be
forearmed.
SMALL Pox Is PERMANENTLY A
PREvENTABLE DIsEAsE.-It is pre-
ventable because we possess the
means by which we may reasonably
expect to keep it from our homes,
and from our community. 1t never
visits either, except rs those means
known to be able to prevent it have
been neglected.
We urge upon the citizens OF Wis
cousin, upon the constituted authorit.
les of every township, village, or city,
within its borders, and especially upon
physicians, TO institute such measures
as will serve to stay the progress of
the disease.
The measures TO be instituted are
VACCINATION AND REvACCINAIoN.
The undersigned have unqualified
confidence in the protective power OF
thorough vaccination, believing that it
can render TO all persons, perfect pro-
lection against any form of variolous
disease-but to secure this protection
three conditions must be carefully OBJ
served.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1876-12-28

lst The virus used must he pure
and vigorous.
End The operation mast be skill
fully ana properly performed.
Ord Revacclnation must be frequent
ly practiced to test the returning sus
ceptibility Of the system TO the Small
Pox Contagion.
By strict and universal obser-
vance of these rules we believe that
Small Pox might bestamped out.of ey-
istence. To neglect such rules is to en-
danger not only the life of him who
neglects them but also the lives of
those with whom he associates. We
believe there is no valid excuse for
such neglect.
With regard to re-vaccination the
facts are that a certain number of
persons are protected for life by one
vaccination, while the protection Of
others extends to but limited and
variable period. Hence as we are
without the power to distinguish be-
tween these classes, revaccination is
essential as primary operation and
should be performed at least every
FIVE years. 1t should also be performed
at every season of an epidemic dlffu-
sion of the disease
Should Small Pox unfortunately
appear in any community we earnest
ly recommend the adoption of the fol-
lowing rules
ISOLATION.
Thoroughly isolate every case that
may occur, and keep it so isolated un
til all danger that the disease can be
communicated is past. If the patient
be kept in a private house, it is better
that the uppermost rooms Of the
house be used for the purpose--every
person in the vicinity should be at
once vaccinated without regard to
any previous operation.
DIsINFECTroN.
At the close of the disease, articles
which can be so treated should be
disinfected by being subjected to the
action of boilinng water, or be baked
in an oven at a temperature of not less
than PIP degrees. Heat eHectoaily
destroys the poison germ. Such ar
ticles as cannot be treated should re-
main.ln the room and be subjected to
sULPHURoUs FUMIGATIoN
which is effected by placing about 3
pounds of sulphur in a safe and con-
venient vessel in the room with the
doors, window, and chimney flnes
closed and ignite it. The room should
remain closed ten or twelve hours.
VENTILATION and painting the wood
work, white washing re-papering the
walls will complete the process and fit
the rooms for -habtation.
