Mrs, Van Sickle, of Frankfort, Ind., and Mrs. Patton, of Chatsworth, 111., are yisiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. W. Sullivan. It is still an uncontradieted rumor that the couple spoken of in our letter of last week were guilty of most inhuman conduct toward a helpless little girl. She was thrust into a cold room during the bitter weather of last winter and kept there two days and nights without food or fire. When released her hands and feet were so badly frozen that both lower limbs and one arm will have to be amputated. The little suffer is now in a hospital, in Indianapolis, where it is to be hoped her short, unhappy life will soon end. Notwithstanding the threatening aspect of the weather a large congregation gathered at the M. E. church,, last Sunday evening. The exercises were mainly in the hands of the children of the Sunday school and as a matter of course, they were interesting, as were also the remarks {by the good pastor, l!ev. L. Nebeker, The church was handsomely decorated with ferns, flowers, wreaths and boquets, showing good taste on the pajrt of those having the matter in charge!
