and handing him a diamond, asked if it
WAS his.
Where did you get it, gasped Hugo.
We found it in a rice pudding. and as
we bought the rice of you, thought it
might be yours" was the answer.
The stone was found several days ago.
Mr.. Fresenius was unable 10 account for
its presence in the pudding until his wife
suggested that as the grocery stock came
from Hugos the diamond might belong to

THREE YEARS IN PRISON.
Mrs. Cooper's Sentence for CrueIt!
to an Adopted Child.


Phillipsburg. y. j., Jan. 2S.-Judge
Shipman, of the Warren county court,
yesterday sentenced Mrs. Zachariah Coop
er to three years in States prison.
She is now a prisoner in the Warren
county Jail, convicted of most inhuman
treatment of a mere baby The woman,
who is about fifty and the wife of a farm
er, already has spent three months behind
the bars because no bail would be accept
ed for her. Owing to the enOrmity of her
crime Judge Shipman said he felt no COM
junction in imposing the sentence The
jury convicted her in five minutes. The
case excited the horror of this and ad-
joining counties.
A year ago the Coopers adopted Nettie
Paff, then the five-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Paff, of Oxford The
father ran away and the mother was sent
to the poorhouse. The foster-mother ac-
quired a violent dislike for the child. and
there were ugly rumors of her conduct
The extent of the woman's cruelty, how
ever, was not generally known until
brought out in court.
Reputable farmers who are neighbors
of the Coopers swore that the woman had
stripped the child for some trifie, put her
in the pen with the hogs, and on one oc-
casion had thrown hot and cold water al
ternctely on the girl and suspended her by
rope under the arms until she tainted
Several witnesses swore they saw Mrs
Cooper knock the child down for not be-
ing able to count up to twenty. The little
one, her body bruised and sore. was kid
naped last October by a neighbor, who
drove to Easton. Pa, and placed her in
the Children's Home. Mrs. Cooper's ar
rest followed.
The woman on the stand denied the acts
OF cruelty but tartly said she considered
it none Of the neighbors business how she
treated the child, as it was hers by law.
Mr.. Cooper, who is little. mild man
testified that his wife had nice temper
and was good to the child

MAINE S SCHOOL FOR DE F.
First Annual Report OF Board ofTrus-
tees.
tprncrAL TO THE FRESH

LYRICAL TO THE rRRss.i
Augusta February 1.-The first report
of the Maine School for the Deaf since 1t
was made state institution, has been
published. President W. ii. Brownson OF
the board Of trustees in the course OF his
report says:
The trustees assumed charge of the
school June Is 1871, and at once took
measures to put the grounds and build
ings into good condition for the use Of
the school. This they were enabled TO do
by n special appropriation of 81 500 for
the purpose The fence between the
sohoolhouse and dormitory was removed
and the two lots were thus made one.
The grounds were graded, au old stable
which was found to be decayed beyond
repair was removed, new fence was
built in the rear, n new brick walk wa
laid from the street to the schoolhouse. all
the buildings were newly painted. new
plumbing was put into the scheolhouse,
the heating apparatus was thoroughly
repaired, new wrought ron fire escapes
were put on the dorm tory, new. iron
fence was built In front of the school
house and various other Improvements
were made The buildings are now In
good condition, with the exception of he
floors in the schoolhouse, some OF which,
at least, must be renewed at an early
date.
BY strict economy In every department,
the expenses of the school during the past
two years have been kept within the ap-
preparation. The cost psr pupil has been
some " hat less than 5000. which is smaller
1t Is thought, than in any other similar
institution of like scoops in any state in
this Union. This Is largely due TO the
exc, llent management OF the household
expense by Miss Taylor, the principal
she has been given full charge of the in
ternal arrangements of the househc Id. she
is her own steward, selects her own ma
tron and assistants, and is given full CON
troll over them. IL will be- readily UNDER
stood that this task, in addition to the
constant direction of the education of the
pupils and the assistant teachers makes
her lshors by no means light. The trus-
tees also wish to commend the teachers
of the school who spare no efforts to
make their work successful and put no
end Of patience and perseverance into
the daily routine of their duties.
During the coming two years the school
will be conducted on the same plan AS
heretofore, all unnecessary expenses be-
ing avoided. The number of pupils viii
DO rs large as in the past, IL not larger,
ana the grounds and buildings must be
kept In good repair. We have had at our
command about si4, 100 annually for the
past two years. A triiling increase Of
tie appropriation to $4,000 year for
the coming two years, will afford means
to keep the school up to it's present state
Of efficiency.
There are now 10 pupils in the school.
