Maternal Devotion.

The State Board of Charities and Correc-
ton have recently had heartrending case
brought To their notice which goes to show
remarkable love and devotion of a mother To
her imbecie child The womans name is
Harrington. and she died about three weeks
ago in Portsmouth, II. l.. near the coal
mines in this State. Soon after her death her
husband made known the fact to the Over
seer of the Poor Of the town that ncarcerat-
ed in the attic of his house was his son, Will
liam Harrington. 10 years of age, who was
a maniac. and required care and attention
which he could net give. The Overseer OF
the Poor investigated the affair and found
matters as represented by the father. He
learned that for a period of fifteen years the
poor lad had been confined in the attic of the
house by his mother, who during all these
years was the only living person whom
her son had seen. She was accus-
toned to visit his lonely room, which was
darkened, and feed him with her own hand.
The attention she bestowed upon him the
result of her love and devotion to her un-
fortunate offspring. She had jealousy
guarded her secret from the neighbors, fear
ing that steps would be taken to tear her hoy
from her. When she died the father at
tempted to follow her example, but was not
equal to the task. Last Monday young Har-
rington was removed from his attic. He was
found to be about half clad and to be liter
ally covered with long growth of hair. lie
was taken to Providence by the Overseer of
the Poor and two of the Selectmen of the
town of Portsmouth that morning by the Fall
River steamer. At the dock he had a tnssle
with the Overseer and gave him quite shak-
ing up. The lads wrists were found TO be
calouseJ, owing to his hands having been
tied up many wears. lie was placed in a
hack and taken to the State Insane Asylum.

The only way likely to succeed would be to
liberate the birds on some island off our

that of Britain, say on Nantucket or Martha's
Vineyard The birds would not be so apt
to lose each other, and would probably plant
a colony from which in time they would

E% II is only necessary for one to
read the Enterprise, Democrat and Ga
zette, OF Belmont County, to learn the
trick in the plan under which the Com
mittee up there has decided to elect del
gates to the Judicial Convention. The
Enterprise says:
"When the matter comes down to
electing delegates for two counties, we
say there is an element OF injustice to
the townships IN the county electing the
delegates, and while we advocated the
action in this instance, there is certainly
two sides to the question. For instance,
Pultney township may be unanimous for
certain candidate, while the county by
q plurality of one, can cast all the votes
for another man. Tue plan secures
county supremacy in the District Con-
vention at the expense OF the independ-
ent action of the townships. 1t denies
minority representation entirely, which is
only possible in these primary meetings
OF the people, and which should never
be sacrificed unless for the very best OF
reasons"
And the only reason in this instance
| Is determination to offer studied 10.
suit to the Democracy OF Monroe C,un.
