Touching lncldents.-- A correspondent
to the Waynes boro Record relates sew
eral touching incidents which came
under his observation during the recent
scourge of Dlphtheria In that vicinity
One was that of a lovely little girl three
years old. The disease took strong hold
without yielding to medical skill or the
best nursing, until respiration became
difficult, when the little sufferer appeal
ing in piteous tones to its father, said:
Pa, help me breathe, and reaching her
arms drew his face close to hers, repeat
ing, 'oh dear Papa, do help me BREATHE"
but suffocation ensued, and she never
spoke again.
The other was an intelligent child,
eight years old, who suffered violent
attack, which baffied the best medical
skill and the kindest parental attention,
until utterance was stopped and hopes
of recovery all vanished, when the suf-
ferer pointed to slate and pencil,
which, being handed to her she wrote
Let me have fresh air and cold tUdter.
Her request was granted and she grad
ualIy recovered. Afterwards she often
said "How glad am that had learn
ed to read aud write, T" for as she could
not speak she would have died IL she
could not have written what she wished.
This shows that both air and cold water
are appropriate remedies.

A STRANGE SToRY.-Legal proceedings
recently instituted at Lynchburg. Va, on
the part of Miss Lizzie May Robinson
against jessie J. Mitchell and others, for
extorting money and watch, have disclos-
ed history of the persecution that the
plaintiff has been exposed to for nearly six
years from Mitchell in revenge for being
dismissed from the house by the father Of
the lady. Her brother became involved in
scandal about a young woman and was
arrested to await criminal prosecution.
He, however, escaped by the aid of his sis
ter and made his way to Texas. Mitchell
practiced on her fears in thousand ways,
threatening her with cOnniving at her
brothers escape, and charged her with be-
ing the mother Of an illegitimate child,
Her brother, hearing of this persecution
returned from Texas, and was kille in an
encounter with Mitchell. who was also Sc
riously wounded. His recovery was the
signal for a renewal of the persecution Of
the low unprotected girl. He obtained
from her $500 left her by her brother, q
gold watch given to her by her mother on
her death bed and bond for $1,000, VITA
which he attempted to take possession OF
the plantation on the death of her father.
Applying to lawyer when she had been
badgered beyond endurance, four suits
were instituted against Mitchell and his
aiders and abettors, VIM. q. Glass and J.:
q. Walton. True bills have been found
and Mitchell was remanded to Jail to
await trial at the next term of court. The
facts of the case created much excitement
and an appeal to Judge Lynch WIS at one
time imminent; but better counsels pre-.
vailed, and the friends of the prosecuted
orphan are anxiously awaiting he result OF
an appeal to the law.
