Pembroke correspondence of Macon Tel
egraph: A school closing occurring last
Friday, short distance from here, two
mothers with a young baby each were
anxious to attend the exercises and get
some of the delicacies provided by the lib
eral patrons and large attendants. To do
this they were compelled to take their
babies along, but did not wish to be both
cred by them throughout the day and con-
trived a way to avoid such. Each mother
gave her baby half teaspoonful of par
egoric with four drops of laudanum. The
babies, respectively four and five months
old slept and continued in that dazed con-
dition throughout the whole days pleas
ure and when about TO go home, these
selfish and inhuman mothers, endeavoring
TO arouse the babies then discovered their
imprudence The doctor was called
though he has slight hopes for either OF
the babies. Last accounts state that the
babies were just about living.
