The following clipped from the
Granville, IN. W Seminal gives
the deserved fate of the negro Will
lards, who got into a row at this
place about a year ago;
In the court of sessions at Ballston
Monday, Edward f. and Newall M.
Willard, the negroes who attempted
to assault Mrs. Alice Cook and her
daughter, near Saratoga Springs, on
the night of Aug. 18th last, with
drew their former plea of not guilty,
and pleaded guilty to assault in the
second degree. Judge Houghton
sentenced them to Dannemora prison
for five years each at hard labor, with
a fine of 81 800 each, in default of
which they are to be imprisoned l, 800
days. In sentencing them the Judge
said that he regretted that the penal
code did not allow him to sentence
them to life Imprisonment. The Will
lards claim to have homes in Brattle-
boro, Vt. This afternoon two wom-
en-, Que white and the other mulatto,
wearing the Salvation Army hats and
claiming to be wives of the prisoners,
were in the court room, and went in
to histories when the sentence was
pronounced.
THE ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE.
The crime for which the negroes
were sentenced was one of the most
heinous ever committed in Saratoga
county. Early on Tuesday evening,
Aug. IL, last, Mrs. Oscar Cook and
her daughter were out driving near
Kings station in the northern SUBJ
urbs of Saratoga. They met a
horse and wagon containing two ne
groes. The men jumped into the Cook
wagon, and after throttling the wo-
men, attempted criminal assault up
ON them. The women screamed and
alarmed the neighborhood, which
frightened the scoundrels. They
jumped into their wagon and drove
rapidly off in the direction of Glens
Falls.
EXCITEMENT KILLS MIR. COOK.
When Mr.. Cook learned of the
outrage, he and his hired man, Albert
Putnam, started for the scene. They
chased the negroes, but had not gone
very far, when Mr.. Cook complained
that it was dark, and that he could
not see well. They then started to
return home, and had nearly reached
their destination, when Cook fell
backward off the seat and tumbled
from the wagon. Putnam picked him
up and drove on with him. Cook
was alive, bnt unconscious, and died
few minutes after reaching home.
Death was caused from heart-disease
superinduced by excitement. Mrs.
Cook went temporarily insane from
the brutal treatment she received and
the sudden death of her husband.

| went up to the animals and found
the horses shifting and sneezing while
the camels, little further off, were ~
ing partly covered with sand in perfect
quiet. They seemed to have bravery
borne the brunt of the storm. Envei-
oped in their drapery the Arabs were
sitting on the ground, with legs drawn
up and their bodies leaning upon the
backs of their camels as upon a pillow.
One of them hearing me, raised his
head, and unrolhng his drapery, gave
me long look. "Have you not been
frightened" | said to him. "At
what?" he answered, as if astonished at
my question.

"And what has happened ?" asked

1.-The roar of the ghabilih (sirocco)
and the groan of the camel are two
sounds familiar to us since birth, " he
answered.
Dumbfounded by such stoicism, ! re-
turned to my tent, wondering what
such people would not be able to en-
dure. They are truly hardened and
toughened IN every respect; deaf TO the
sutterings of others, dumb to their own,
Injured to fatigue, and insensble to
hardship. The awakening call was not
sounded that morning, the Colonel
wishing to know before starting how
much damage had been done and
whether the men were fit to march.
When ! arose at daylight and looked
around, could scarcely realize that l
was awake. The plain wore quite q
different aspect. These large waves of
sand that | had noticed the previous
day had disappeared. A dune, fifteen
feet high, had also been removed, and
several of the eminences had been re-
formed few miles further on.
Many tents had been torn, and the
sand had penetrated through every
tissure and hole in the knapsack, and
even into the gun barrels. The pack
saddles and loads of provisions had dis
appeared almost entirely beneath the
sand. Several boxes weighing eighty
pounds had been rolled distance of
POO feet and partly broken. However,
aside from the three men who had been
stumbled over by horses and wounded,
no one felt any serious consequences
from the tempest. Two horses were
found to have lost an eye from being
struck by coarse grains of sand. The
day was spent in making repairs, but
for fear OF IL new hurricane on the fol-
lowing night, we moved toward evening
ten miles further along, where we en-
camped on the firm ground.

CultiVatinS HeneVoienCe.

Albert's mother has to count her pen
MES carefully, for she is a conscientious
little housewife and her husbands
salary is far from being magnificent.
Her ideal virtue is benevolence, howev-
er, and she tries to instill it into her boy,
both by precept and example. One day
an uncle gave Albert his first quarter of
dollar to spend on anything he liked.
He went out to squander it, and i'll the
evening his mother. who had been Won
dering for hours if the habit she had
been trying to cultivate in her little boy
had begun to bear fruit yet, said to
him:
albert, dear, you need not tell me
unless you like what you did with all
that money, but | should like to know,
my boy, if you do not mind? Did any
part of it go to lessen the sorrows or
tighten the burden of some poor person
less fortunate nan yourself? | am al
most sure it did"
Albert hung his head minute, and
his mothers heart sank, but presently
he said in a low voice, as if ashamed to
tell of his own good conduct: Mother
| gave it all to lame and ragged wom-
an, who sits all day long on the sidewalk
near our school"
"Albert, my darling! l knew it,
knew it exclaimed the delighted
mother. "You will grow up to be II
great philanthropist, and all the world
will know that humble little cultivated
the habit of benevolence in your heart
when it WAS tender and young. Won't
you, my boy?"
Eyes, ma" said the dutiful Albert.
Pennies and nickels came much more
plentifully in Albert's path after this
than they had ever come before, and
most of them found their way to the
ragged woman who sat on the curb near
the schoolhouse. Albert seemed to
take deep interest in the welfare of this
woman, and his mother determined
after awhile to teach Albert another
lesson in benevolence, that it is the
duty of philanthropist to find out
whether the object of his charity be u
worthy one. Albert opposed this idea
He was sure she was poor and lame
and she looked sick. That was enough.
The thought that she might be drunk
ard or an impostor seemed to shock
him, so that his mother decided to in
vestigate the woman's case by herself
But she had many calls upon her time,
and several months elapsed before she
found an opportunity to do so.
She gave Albert 5 cents, and he de-
clared his intention of giving three of
them to the old woman. Then she fol-
lowed him to school at n distance, and
as she approached the building she saw
little Knot of children surrounding
some object, which she soon found to
be ragged woman sitting on the curb
with tray of candies and chewing
gum in her lap. AS she edged her way
into the crowd she heard the sweet
tones of her dear Albert driving hard
bargain with the lame vendor, and
heard him complain.
Ppm the best customer you've got in
this school, skinny Biegs, and if Won
try to put up prices on me I'll get all
the boys to boycott yer, see ?'-Nelg
