A Sad Case.

The pitiable plight of the unfortunate wife
and still more unfortunate children of the
notorious Tom Owens has been known to
but few people. The poor woman has been
lying between life and death for number OF
days, during which time she and her chill
dren, two little girls, aged one and three,
have subssted entirely on the charities of
neighbors. Tom Owens, long ago
given up to drink, has
been to all appearances, entirely insensible of
the condition of his wife, little blue-eyed,
ssd-featured lady, who at the age of twenty
three had seen more misery than is the usual
life allotment of most of her sex. The angel
of death set its seal upon her sufferings Mon
day morning, and waited the stricken spirit
away to the shores of n peaceful
eternity. Places of adoption into kind moth
erly hearts have happily been provided for
the two little girls, who will, it is trusted,
grew up to forget their father in the brutal
person of Tom Owens. The lstter's beast
" conduct during his wife's illness
came near to melting the neighbors to visit
summary chastisement upon him.. His
degradation cannot be reached by law or
force but any power to do evil to the little
ones to whom he has forfeited all claim
should be taken from him.
