Brutally Maltreating a Little
Girl.

STERLING, H., January Sit has
been discovered that man and woman
named Seymour, living in the village
Of Rock Falls, bSve been horribly NAL
treatingI fat helless girl, seven years
of age, whom they were supposed to be
taking care Of. The child is small for
lis age, and Seymour compelled her TO
feed and take care Of a horse and bring
coal. He confined Ler in q cellar at
times all day without food or clothing,
except thin dress, and punished her
with a horsewhip until the surface of
her entire body was black and blue and
sore. Sometimes he would toss her to
the ceiling and left her fall on the floor.
No species of cruelty seemed too severe
TO adopt toward the child. The villa
gers last night made a determined
though unsucc 'ssful attempt to lynch
Seymour, but both he and his wife
have fled.

A Fearful Family War.

DANyILLE, Va, February 1.-The
particulars of horrible Stabbing ana
shooting affray, which occurred OH the
Lanier plantation, neal this place, last
evening, have just been learned. The
King and Slate families, who reside
within short distance Of each other,
have been enemies for months past.
Frequent chickering's occurred between
them, and the affraY of last evening
was the result of dispute between
"Old Mother Slate" as the head of the
Slate family is called, and Mrs. King.
The latter first attacked Mrs. Slate
with her teeth, biting her savagely on
the face and ears. Mrs. Slate called
for her son George, and as he approach
ed the scene Mrs. King drew a knife
and plunged it into the breast Of Mrs
Slate, mortally wounding her. Geo.
Slate attacked Mrs. King and stabbed
her several times. Her screams at
tracted the attention of her son, Thom-
as King, who came to her assistance,
and who was stabbed eight times by
George Slate. lie then drew Il pistol
and shot Slate. The whole party will
die.

A PRACTICAL REMEDY.

In speaking on the remedies for the
growing evil of drunkenness the Har-
riSburg Patriot gives utterance to some
very practical thoughts, which, as half
way measures deserve tile candid con-
sideration of all who feel forced to ad-
nit the utter impracticability of en-
forcing absolute prohibition. The wide
spread and pernicious custom of ''treat-
ing' is what draws so many of our
young meE from the path Of sobriety in
to the vortex of intemperance. If
treating were made indictable and the

The County Statement.

Our board Of commissioners deserve
much credit for publishing so full and
complete an annual statement, In such
plain, convenient form. Tie arrange
ment is that il Ike circulated by every
PAPER published in the county, so that
every taxpayer may have ii; and if the
subscriber of any particular paper
don't get il, it will be the fault Of The
printer and not of the commissioners.
We advise our readers to preserve the
statement for future reference ara
comparison with others that will be
published. In this way they can keep
themselves posted on the condition and
management of our county funds-a
matter that concerns us all.
1t has been the practice heretofore to
lump all the claims of the county, good
and bad, into one aggregate total, as
an offset against its Indebtedness,
aud thus make the result to show
that the county would be oat Of
debt If al itS claims ,cere paid up. For
example, last years financial exhibit
showed balance in favor of the coun-
ty, Of S10SS.S1 on paper, when the
plain truth was that the county would
have made money by paying about
$40, 900 cash down to square off ac-
counts. This years statement shows
the county debt to be '2l ,55S, "A,
after all outstanding taxes and other
claims considered collectable, are de-
Quoted. THIS amount may safely be
taken as the real county debt. If any
of the other claims classed az "Outstaad
ing and not collectdble," amounting al
together to the respectable sum of
S24,735, ,l5. can be collected, the coun-
ty debt will be reduced to the same ex-
tent.
The commissioners have faced the
music squarely by letting the people
know exactly how the matter stands,
but their duties do not end here. 1t is
expected IF them, and intended by
them, to fund the county debt at the
lowest rate Of interest obtainable.
Next they Will give delinquent collec-
tors, who have withheld the cOdnty's
money without interest in many cases
for years, their attention. The "claims
against thirteen districts townships
and boroughs) for keeping insane" "
which have been dragged along in
county statements from year to year,
will also be disposed uf in the near flu
ture. The commissioners are a unit in
their efforts to keep down expenses,
to collect what Is ccllec'able and to
bring the county finances and accounts
into q simple tangible form.
In this connection we would accord
to the board Of county auditors their
due share Of the good work 30 well be-
gun. They have with exemplary pa
thence and industry, made full and
thorough examination of all the ac-
counts of our late county officers, and
the plain practical statement which we
lay before our readers is chiefly the re-
suit of their long but poorlypaid labors.

The FINALE.

The last tragic act in the famous
Guiteau trial is over. On Saturday
Judge Cox denied the assassin a new
trial and pronounced sentence of death
in the following words: and on Fri
day the thirtieth dav of June, 1882.
you be taken to the place prepared for
execution within the walls of said iail
and there, between the hours of u m.
and 2 p. m. you be hanged by the neck
until you are dead. and may the Lord
have mercy Oh your SOUL"
During the reading Guiteau stood
apparently unmoved, and with his gaze
1iveted upon the judge, but when the
final words were spoken he struck the
table violently and shouted: "And may
the Lord have mercy on your soul.
I'd rather stand where | do than where
that jury does and where your honor
does. I'm not afraid to die. stand

fashionable up town restaurants have
each frequently had two and three
large private dinner parties in one eve

on the most elaborate scale. These
were mostly where private residences
were insufficient 10 accommodate the
company. At dinner given by SELL
