SAD Amiction.

Seldom is ssdder tale told than
this, which ls taken from the Cleve-
land Herald of the 21st ult "a Pc
culiarly sad and touching scene was
enacted at the Riverside cemetery
yesterday afternoon. 1t was the burial
in one grave of six children, the little
sons aud daughters of John Yande-
reau, q butcher, living at No. SO
Bridge street. The youngest as az
infant, little over year, and the
eldest Q 500 of nineteen. Three
weeks ago Mr.. Vandrrean's family
CONSISTED of himself, wife and seven
bright aud happy children. That
dreaded scourge, dlphtheria, secured a
IA tai footing ia the household, and
tn baby was the AIst victim. Then
one by one the others were seized with
the sickness and carried off, until
to-tiay the stricken parents have but
one child left to them, daughter of
sixteen. It was indeed sad and i'm
pressive to see the cofins lowered one
after another to their last resting
place, and the grief of the heart
broken parents was inconsolable.

bridges and the practice loafers have
oiCongregating upon them, especially
on Sundays. Judge MADDEN has a
little scheme which be means to carry
out next Sunday, and which it is hoped
will bring about q reform. He pro
poses to have a policeman advance
toward each end Of the bridges after
the crowd has collected, and force the
lOiterers either to spring from the
bridge and be dashed to pieces or to
rush into the arms Of the guardians Of
the law and be arrested. He rather
hopes they will adopt the former
alternative. as the county, though it
will have the expense Of buTying them,
will save the city their board for a
hundred days.
