Terrible II True.

A story Of iniquity comes to us from
Canal Dover, Ohio. The facts in the
case are as follows: About ten years ago
aman living at Columbus, O., whose name
for the present is withheld, shocked the
moral sense of the community with his
conduct to such an extent that he was
treated with coat of tar and feathers
and driven out of the city. With his
reputed wife he located at Canal Dover,
and engaged in the painting business
Shortly after his arrival his father aud
mother also located there, and they at
once spread the report that his wife was
none other than his full sister. People
we're 10th to believe the report, as the
man persiatently denied it. The woman,
however, upon being closely questioned,
admitted to the neighbors that she Nas
at least bis half.sister. They lived In q
moderately we'll furnished house, and, to
oil outward appearances, seemed peace.
able and well behaved.
Ti.ne wore on, and it began to be gener-
ally believed that the couple were really
sister and brother. About. eight years
ago a'child was born TO them, who is yet
living, but horribly deformed. His body
is nothing but q shapeless lump of bone
less flesh, anu his legs are so frail that
they will not support him. He is never
seen by any one a:l..ssssssis the family.
About two years afterward another child
was born to them, bat it died and was
hurrieSly buried and no one was ever
permitted to see it. TWAS said this child
Tas also boneiess dwarf
The community mutually became highly
indignant at aHck conduct in their midst
and threatened the couple with o sum-
mary punishment in tbs ahape of a coat
of tar and feathers. A wild crowd gath
cred ono night to take the house by storm,
but they were forced to retire by the man
appearing at ths door, who, with revolver
In hand, dared the crowd 10 touch him.
The daring brayado hes since been q ter
ror of the town and IL Stunned by every
one, even By his own brother. Tie case
was such q YovGitihg one that tho people
of the community were 10th to agitate it
or stir it mp, but q few days ago another
child was bornto the couple in question,
aud nowIhe indignant community declare
that ttheyiwill bearsuch conduct no longer.
