A SHOCKING STORY OF IGNORANCE AMI DE-
PRAvITY - %MILLCRsEK TOWNSHIP.
y special 10 the New York Times says :
On the northern slope OF South mountain,
in Millcreek township. Lebanon county,
lives a family among whom is q girl re-
sembling a wild woman, and who is kept
more like a beast than human being. The
family consists of but three persons-the
father, a son. and the girl in question.
They occupy an old log hut, which is near
" ready to tumble down. The girPs
mother died when she was a child, and the
poor creature has had no one to train her.
Her mind has always been weak, and she
was neglected entirely in every way. She
has not been inside a schOol-room in
all her life; she cannot read or write.
She is very shy OF strangers. When
she sees 2 person approaching her she
disappears in the bushes and rocks on the
mountain. IN the spring. il is said, her
father compels her to go out ON the hill
with n flock 81 turkeys, which she has so
trained that they follow her through the
thickets and woods from morning until
night. Kind n~eighbors have several times
attempted to catch the girl when she was
out with the turkeys and care for her, but
all to no purpose. She runs at the sight Of
a person aud disappears, with the fowls
at her heels. Wheat-bread, the neighbors
say. Is unknown to the creature; that her
principal diet was corn-dodgers and a sort
Of paste made OF dried rye -four. Her
father generally acts in the capacity OF cook
and baker. Her dress consists Of old rags,
which are tied about her body.
Some time ago one OF the neighbors took
compassion on her and made a new calico
dress, which was probably the only one
the girl has worn for several years. Head
wear and shoes are unknown to her in her
rambles through the rough woods and
mountain. She has long auburn hair,
which she wears hanging down over her
shoulders. The household affairs of this
wretched family are said TO be very primi-
tive. there being but one bed in the house.
Stories OF a most outrageous character have
been circulated about this family. IL is
stated by good authority that 4 number OF
citizens will call the attention Of the pro-
per officials to This family and have the mat
fer remcdied.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 0.-Thc mat
ter Of the White Sulphur springs on the
appointment Of a receiver was fully dis.
cusscd before Judge Jackson, OF the United
S'stes District Court, here to-day. When
the argument had been finished Judge
jackson took the cause under advisemcnt.
remarking that the Court would dispose OF
IL IN n short time. The property OF the
springs Is yet in the hands OF the officers
Of the District Court Of the State, while
Judge Ponds receiver. Mr.. Boulware. is
warned not TO put foot on the premises
under penalty Of arrest and imprisonment.
Ch~ief-Justice Waite and Judges Bond and
Jackson will hear n motion in the Circuit
Court Of the United States at Petersburg
TO vacate or modify the order that Judge
Bond made in chambers, appointing a re-
ceiver for the White Sulphur Springs. on
the ground that the custody OF the property
had been committed by order OF Judge
jackson TO The Marshal OF the Stateo of West
Virginia previous TO the order OF Judge
Bond appointing a receiver, and was at
the time OF Judge Bonds order i'm the Gus
tody of the Marshal.
Under a strict order OF the District
Court and upon other grounds set forth in
the petition. in all probability Judge Jack
son may withhold his action until the
motion is heard to vacate Judge Bonds
order. Judge Jackson showed much
chagrin at the action Of Judge Bond in
contempt of the District Court. and so
expressed himself. There are conflicts on
the jurisdiction OK the respective courts,
Judge Jackson claiming his authority to
modify Judge Bonds action as same as
Judge Bond to make void his proceedings
in the case.

JUST CLOSED.
[Dy telegraph To The Dlspatch.l


by telegraph to the Dlspafch.l
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The following is
a summary statement of the work accom-
plishcd by the Supreme Court OF the
United States during the October term OF
1882, which ended Monday last:
At the end OF the previous term October
term OF 1881 the number Of cases left on
the docket was 1886. Since that time 422 new
cases have been docketed, makinga total Of
1,25S. OF these cases 1S7 have been argued
orally during the term which has Just
closed. and 81 have been submitted on
printed briefs, making a total Of 2S4 eases
actually brought before the court for con-
sideration. This is n gain Of II cases as
compared with the October term OF 1881.
The number OF cases finally disposed OF and
stricken from the docket during the term
just ended Is 3S7, as follows: Affirmed,
1856; reversed, GO; questions answered,
8; cases dismissed for various reasons,
1874. As compared with the last term this
is a decrease Of l. in the number OF cases
disposed Of.
The number Of cases awaiting the action
of the court continues year by year to in
crease. At the end OF the term OF 1879
there were left undisposed OF 701 cases.
At the end OF the October term OF 1880 the
number had increased to S31, and at the
end Of this term it had reached ST1. All
but fourteen Of the eases argued and sub
mitted this term have been decided.
Among those which the court still has
under consideration are the ciyil-nghts
cases, the Mercer Colony land case from
Texas, and the ease OF the county OF Sam
Matee against the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company.
