A Sad CASA

An incident exciting both pity and
to scme extent condemnation occurred
in this town recently. On the night
Of the heavy snow 4 col0red wom-
an zamsd Johnson. who had been de-
serted by her husband. gave birth TO
twins in the house "Aunt Winnie
owned One of them died in a short
time. No doubt owing partially at least
to neglect and for i've days the csrpse
was kept in a trunk, away from the
rats While the colored people are
poor, tie nsighbors think they are not
biameless IN this case for they should
certainly have relieved the woman's
mental anguish by burying her dead
infant, regardless Of the SNOW.
