M~altreatlng Children.
Eariylast summer there arrived in this
city a family of that hap~py-go-lucky
character which usually indicates those
people who are of little use to themselves
and none whatever to the community in
which they live. The nominal head of
the family is a fellow named Edward
Crouch, who is about 30 years of age.
His wife is a few years older and they
have only been married about u year.
She, however, has three children. the
oldest Of whom is n girl Of Is, the two
younger being boys.
During the whole Summer they have
lived in a small tent south of the railroad
track. The woman, while probably &c
centric in other respects, contributed to
the support of the family by doing wash
ing. Crouch himself took it very easy
aud ate three square meals Il day when
ever he could get them.
Very little attention would have been
paid to them by their neighbors, but for
the fact that Crouch so mistreated the
two boys. He beat them, put themI on
short allowance of food and otherwise
assumed the playful ways of the domestic
tyrant. Finally a movement was organ

ing children taken away from their brutal
