On Monday last DR.. W. n.
Grace, and e. w. Carol. Esq.
Justice of thy Peace near Cherry
Ridge, in this parish, were called to
hold Il post mortem examination OF
the body of i cOlored boy named
Thompson, aged about seven
years, near that place. We learn
that this little boys mother had
carried her children to the house of
a colored woman named Margaret
Adams, and the older members OF
both families went to church ncar
by, leaving the children at the
house. When Clark Thompson
and family returned from church
they were Mortified to find their
little boy corpse.
The post mortem examination
disclosed Il severe confusion on
the skull near the right ear which
producing hemorrhage Of the brain
Was probably the cause Of death.
The body Of the dead child was
considerably striped and lacera-
ted causing a belief that he had
been severely dashed. A youth
about twelve years old,-scn of
the colored woman, Margaret Adj
ams-wbo had been left with this
boy and other young children, be-
ing questioned, made two or three
different statements relative to the
affair, but We have not learned that
sufficient evidence was obtained
by the jury of inquest to justify
his arrest.

II al the birds were swept way from
Of the earth, man could not live upon
Il, vegetables vould wither sud die. and
insects would become 30 numerous that
no living thing could withstand their
attacks. The wholesale destruction
occasioned by the grSsshoppers which
have lately devastated the West, is IN
doubtediy caused by the thinning out
Of the birds-ach as grouse, prairie
hens, etc.-vhich feed upon them.
The great sud inestimsble service done

only becoming known by sad expert
