often administers such severe punishment
to his children that they regard with ter
ror any indication of displeasure on his
part. few days ago the eldest son cor-

brother threatened to inform their father,
when the other knocked him down with a
club, and proceeded deliberately to cut out
his tongue with dull pocket knife. The vic
tim, lad only twelve years of age, being
thus deprived of speech, and not having
learned to write, was unable to tell how he
received the injury, which for some time,
