Clark County, Ill.,, is lca,d in deunci-
;ztions of a great crime committed
within its borders, particulars of
which are given in a special to the
Chicago papers. A man named John
Cottrell, some time last fall married a
widow Melrose. who had two children,
both boys, aged and 10 respectively.
Ever since the marriage the stepfather
has behaved toward the children in
the most brutal manner; frequently
driving them away from home in the
dead Of night, when they usually took
refuge with some the neighbors, and
compelling them to go without shoes
Oh their feet. and really without cloth
ing upon their backs. A few nights
ago he got one Of his freaks on and
drove them out. They were almost
without clothing, and started for their
uncle's, i'll Crawford county, When
ten miles below their home, in Clark
county, the younger Of the two boys
gave out. His brother succeeded in
getting him upon a piece of ground
free from ice and SNOW; and, leaving
him, went on to the house of a gentle
man by the name of James Hand,
where he was taken in. His STEP
father had been in the habit of beat
ing him and his brother whenever
they told anything of his mistreat-
ment, and it was some time before he
would consent to tell Of his own and
his brothers sufferings. About this
time Mr.. Sackrider came up having
found the younger brother dead where
the elder had left him. An inquest was
held, and the jury returned verdict
that the child came to his death
through the brutal treatment of his
stepfather. With difficulty the COM
munity were restrained from lynching
the stepfather, who is under arrest.

A story having gone the rounds of

canvassing in one of his election con-
tests, having turned the mangle for a
woman, while she pleaded With her
husband to give the baronet his
vote, Sir Gilbert, at the concluding
congratulatory tea-party at Warning
ton on Friday, gave the true version of
the story. He said, ''You remember a
slight incident about mangle. have
turned the mangle many a time, and it
was very tiny house I turned the
mangle in. So small was it that there
was myself, a baby, the wife. and the
husband, and 1 firmly believe if cat
and parrot had been introduced, it
would have made it very tight place.

Vldlng more commOdious houses for

will enjoy at a very moderate rental.
L went into house where a woman
was turning mangle, and I said, Let
me turn the mangle.' l said to the
woman you talk to your husband, and
ask him to give me his vote, and will
turn the mangle for you while you do
So Well she talked to her husband,
and l got the vote.''

Why is it that the managers of bank

The poor laborer and the widow and
orphan go to them and entrust their
savings-their all, to the bank for safe
keeping, and day later the bank sus-
pends. Every officer of the institution
knows it's condition when the money is
taken. They know they are robbing
the depositor of his all, yet they take

THANKs.-HOn. C. C. Bean, now confined | to his bed by reason of the accidental shoot ing mentioned last week, has commissioned us to say to the people who treated him so kindly and assisted so cheerfully in carry ing him, under so many difficulties and with such patient toll through the difficult can yOns to place where he could be reached bya carriage and conveyed to his home and family, that he can never sufficiently thank them, or fully express the gratitude he feels towards them, and that while his prostra- ton and pain would otherwise cause gloomy thoughts, the recollection of their disinter- rested kindness, and reflection that even in those mountain fastnesses and "sounding forest aises," miles away from the ordinary conveniences of civilized life are some of the noblest hearts that ever animated human breasts, and that these have proven them- selves his friends, has sustained and encour- aged him in a remarkable degree and en- dowed him with fortitude to bear his misfor- tune.

 Mrs. Bean has also expressed herself most feelingly, and indicated desire to take each of these people by the hand and tell them how tender a chord in her heart they have touched in thus rendering such impor- tant service to her husband. They join in rendering to all who miniStered m any way to his wants, and in conveying him to his home, their unfeigned, hearty thanks.

conditions here, and that there is a
wider range of value than in any 9TH
er section. He will find that there are
reasons why certain lands should
bring high price, and that the buy
er of other tracts at low figures is not
getting much of bargain. Produc-
tive power is the true measure of all
values, and this regulates the price of
real estate. An acre of land having
upon it fifty mature orange trees,
which bear annually a crop worth
$500, ought to command good price.
Such piece of land has no corelative
in the States, and the Eastern man
who should hear of the sale of such
an orchard would be wholly incompe-
tent to judge of the transaction. The
same standard may be applied to 9TH
er lands. A fertile, well watered tract,
desirably located, capable of produc-
ing annual crops worth 500 to $500
an acre, is proportionally valuable.
Dry mesas upon which only one
crop of Winter grain can he grown,
and which must lie idle the entire
Summer, sell low, their productive ca
pacity being limited. There are lands
in California at all prices. Good farm
ing lands, as general thing, are worth
from $25 to 800 per acre, grape lands
can be had for SIS to $50, and choice
fruit lands at SIS to 5000 per acre.
Prices vary according to the locality;
good and desirable lands selling in
one section at $50, which bring double
the price in other sections. When the
new conner from the-East, however,
pays even 500 per acre for choice1aHd,
he has what he could never purchase
in the States at any price. He has
piece of property that when properly
worked will produce more than twice
as much as the best land in the States.
With every acre of land he also gets
an acre of our climate, which is worth
the money. AS to the amount of good
land available, there is still an abun-
dance to supply the increase in our
population for several years to come,
and new tracts are being steadily add
ed to the list by the development of
irrigation facilities. AS we have said
in another place, there are fully half
a million acres of land in Los Angeles
valley that can be brought under a
high state of cultivation, SO that al
lowing ten acres to each inhabitant,
this valley alone can sustain $4,000
farmers, and not only this but supply
them with almost every article de-
sired.

They had q masquerade party over

kangaroo costume down from a place in

while walking along the street in tie
costume, Cooley's bulldog suddenly
flew out at him. The kangaroo had
barely time TO climb upon the top Of the

fore the dog was close upon him. Here
he sat in the darkness, the dog trying to

way TO early market. To his amazement
he saw huge animal Of some kind

came cautiously out again. Removing
his boots he stepped softly up behind the
kangaroo, and slipping the moose over its
head he suddenly retreated and pulling
the rope, ierked Mr.. Lamb to the ground,
when the dog instantly seized him by
the leg. Peter screamed with fright and
pain, and as soon as Cooley saw the mis-
take, and understood the situation, he
hauled off the dog and united the rope.
Then the kangaroo stood upon its hind
legs, and Cooley said he was sorry about
il.


ooh, never you mind about being
sorry" said Mr. Lamb. 80 It's all very
nice to talk about being sorry. But if it

full steam on plunged forward alone, and
with the fearful impetus thus gained
threw the cattle from the track. He
