A SAD CASE OF HEARTLEssNpBs, es-
pecially lameutable from the high stand
ing Of the parties concerned, is achieving
noloriety at Cincinnati. Some years age
an infant son Of DR.. J. s. Richardson was
adopted by his uncle, and made the heir
to his property, amounting to S25O,GOO
The agreement was that the boy should
be educated in Cincinnati, and be allowed
to see his parents whenever they desired
About TWO years ago the widow Of the
childs adopted father married Freeman
Cary, brother OF Gen. Sam. Cary, and
then trouble began. The Carys moved
away, taking the boy with them, and
about month ago the boys visits to biz
parents ceased. The mother, who had
been in delicate health for some time, be-
came dangerously Ill at the loss Of her
boy, and it is believed that she will moi
live unless he ia returned to her. She
speaks OF him constantly in the most at-
iecting way, and sutiers the greatest
agony at his enforced absence. Mr.. and
Mrs. Cary have been notified OF the case
but make no reply, and DR.. Richardson
VI last rerori, has procured writ fol
the return Of the child to his apparently
dying mother. No adequate cause foI
this brutal conduct on the part Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Cary can be assigned, unless 1t il 3
Gauseless dislike they have apparently
taken to DR.. and Mrs. Richardson.
