Negro Ravisher Killed.
A dispatch from Cumberland, dated Mon.

A dispatch from Cumberland, dated Mon.
day, May 8, gives the following;
William Paris, colored, aged about II
years, was shot and killed this afternoon by
John Meyers, white man, aged about 80
years, who works vineyard in the western
section Of Cumberland
Meyers discovered Paris in the act of at.
tempting to assault Mrs. Kate Hier, aged 70
years. Shortly before Paris assaulted Mrs.
Hier he was seen chasing Mrs. Barbara
Mics, another aged lady, and this attracted
Meyers attention to him. He got his Win
chester rifle, and it was not long until he
heard screams from clump of trees not far
distant. Meyers rushed down and found
Paris in the act of attempting to assault
Mrs. HER, who had been looking for her
COW. Paris did not retreat until Meyers had
yelled at him. He ran up the bill, Meyers
first shooting him in the foot. He did not
stop and then Meyers, from the bottom of
the hill, sent six buckshot through his body.
Paris died in five minutes without saying
a word. Meyers sent word to notify the
sheriff and sat on rock by the colored
boys body until the sheriff came. Paris
came from Virgin mia and bore good repu-
tation as a servant. Mrs. Hier was In a
frightful condition. Her body was covered
with mud, her face scratched and nose bleed.
ing.
Meyers was afterwards placed in Jail to
await the action of a coroner's jury. After
hearing the evidence the jury returned a
verdict of justifiable homicide. On Tuesday
Meyers was brought before the Circuit Court
on writ of habeas corpus, and after argu-
ment by counsel was finally discharged.
Judge Sloan, in dischargng the prisoner,
said that he realized the weight of RESPONSE
bility that was upon him, and he had no de-
sire to shirk any responsibility that occurred
in the discharge of his duty. After the re-
viewing of the case, Judge Sloan added :
"The prisoner is entitled to certain rights
If he had committed an error, it might
amount to manslaughter. If in my judg.
ment l believed it did, would order him
held; but according to my judgment, he
was doing that right and duty of citizen,
and he is entitled to his freedom as much as
any other man in the community. Moth.
ing that do in the case precludes any action
of the Grand Jury, and want to say, do
it not with any reference to the color of the
prisoner or the color of the deceased, or to
lin h,,. 4
law and justice and right demand it," The
action o: the court is being received with
general favor.

will prove more desirable. Their habits moi
having been formed, they are not only more
easily trained, but readily settle down into
the home of their adoption, continuing in
THE Old Homestead" long after the expira
ton OF their term of apprenticeship, under
wages. Such has been the experience OF
many receiving our younger children. In
this connection numerous interesting incl
dents could be cited.
Our wards go out upon fair trial of two
months. Should they not prove satisac
tory within said term of trial they can be
returned, upon proper notification, TO the
office of the society.
We wish to find homes of the following
kinds:
/. Homes in which children of any age
may be adopted.
2. Homes in which children of any age
may be received, and in which they may
remain until they are eighteen years Of age.
They must receive during the intervening
years proper physical and moral care, and
be given at least four and half months
schooling each year until the age of sixteen
has been reached.
B. Homes for boys and girls from IA TO 10
years of age, who in return for their services
shall receive wages.
A. Emergency homes, in or near the city,
to which child may be sent for week or
more, until some permanent arrangement
can be made for it.
The travelling expenses of such children
Will be paid by us, and they will be pro-
vided with suitable clothing. A careful
oversight is kept of each of our wards, who
are visited at regular intervals by our ex
perienced agents.
We would gratefully receive the address
of any person able to give thoroughly
good home to any of our wards.
Applicants and others, desiring further
information will please address our special

Henry Watson Children's AID Society Of

thousands OF children from lives Of degra-
dation and crime, the great ma ority OF

of our poor dependent ltteOnes have found
loving hearts and kindly shelter.
While thus benefiting:our wards we hope
10 furnish some slight service TO the farm

than a hindrance :" therefore, why should
our dear farmer friend regret receiving one
of our little Ones2 This society believes
that the best disposition which can be made
of the majority Of the unfortunate children
who are thrown upon the mercy Of the
charitable public is 10 place them in good
country homes.
Children, who from misfortune or neglect
OF their natural guardians are deprived Of
the happiness Of home life, should be taken
away from their old environments and
placed where they can make new ties, and
where they may learn by experience what
are the daily cares and joysOl happy family
life.
There can be no nobler charitable work,
sir, than 70 provide a home for poor child
In which it may receive kind care and moral
training, and by thus "rescuing the per- Il.

Big Loss OF CattIe.-Mr. Arthur Will
lIams, a prominent farmer, residing near
Jacksonville, this county, last week lost SIX
Inc fat steers and valuable mich cow all
of them dying from a cause not yet fully
determined. The animals were attacked
with foaming at the mouth and spasms and
lived but few hours. A veterinary surgeon
pronounced the disease hydrophobia, after
a post norton examination. A dog sup
posed 10 be mad passed through the neigh
borhood some three or four days before the
animals were attacked, but this is consd'
cred too soon for the disease To have devel-
oped. Another theory Of the cause Of the
disease lie that the cattle had access TO the
wilted leaves Of wild cherry tree, which
had recently been cut down, and were pois'
oned thereby. The other cattle on the farm
appear TO be in good health.

Richard Vincent, Jr., of Baltimore county,
made plea for more beautiful home sur

that some of the manure and labor be spared
from the grain fields and put on the lawn
and flower beds, as we'll as the garden, and
that farmers cultivate in themselves and
their children deeper interest in and knowl.
edge of the wonders of nature around them.
