sanity; that she was violent at times and
frequently had no control of her
mind. The Hebbards will submit
documentary evidence to show that Mrs
Searles was partly insane at times. This
will also be supported by Timothy Hop
kins, who, it is charged, will say that on
several occasions he suffered violence at the
hands of his mother by adoption.
One Of the cousins, Nathaniel Hebhard,
lives in this city. He says: II was always
on the best of terms with Mrs. Searles,
as we all were, till C. p. Hunting
ton and Edward Searles interfered. They
wrecked her mind and drove her insane

she would keep her promise to remember

Posterity Wants to Go, Too.

1t is not always desirable, and is seldom
necessary, for little boys of to 60 out
evenings with their parents. A certain
couple, aware of the fact that "small
pitchers have large ears.' adopted the prac-
tce of alluding to their promising young
son as "posterity" when mentioning him in
their conversations.
If attendance at a concert was contem-
plated, or an evening call was to be made,
the husband would remark. "Well, pos
terity need not accompany u.s." and it was
possible to relegate "posterity" to bed with
utmuch trouble.
But dullness of comprehension is not a
distinguishing trait of juvenile Americans
