_.A& Revolting Story OF TORTURE INFLICTED UPON LITTLE CHILDREN AT HUBBARD'S COVE, BY A NEW BRUNS- WICK BRUTE IN HUMAN FORM, ABETTED BY AN ABANDONED MOTHER.

(Special Correspondence Halifax Herald. )

Hupparp’s Cove, May 16.—f£ver since the burning of Rosanna Miller’s house on April 25th, by Heury James, an account of which appeared in the Herald at the time, there have been so many stories told of the cruel and brutal treatment of the widow's children by this. New Brunswick desperado, that-your correspondent has been led to make particular inquiries as to the truth or falsity of these re- ports, which he finds are of such @ nature as to demand the attention of the proper author- ities who should see that such crimes go not unpygnished. The first in the list of crimes att@buted to James is the very suspicious death cf the widow's youngest child about seven months old, which took place in Oc- tober or November last. After the fire, Mrs. Miller stated that she believed the child was strangled, but would not go so far as to in- elude it in her indictment against James. The babe not being very well a few days be fore its death, was buried without an inquest, and some few persons who saw the infant be fore it was buried entertained strong

SUSPICIONS OF FOUL PLAY.

Ernest, a boy nine years old still bears marks upon his face, arms and body of the brutal treatment he received at the hands of Jesse — or I meant to say, Henry—James. The boy tells the story of his ill-usage in a straightfor- ward manner and without any hesitation. He is now being cared for by a charitable person in this place,and is beginning to re cover from the injuries he received and the half-starved condition he was in when rescued. Both the boy and his mother say that James kept him locked up in a room for three days without food or water and at another time stripped him naked and stood him in a barrel of cold water, and this in the winter season, and at a time when the poor boy had the whooping cough. At another time James would put him naked in a tub of water to punish him for taking a piece of bread to appease his hunger. But

THE MOST CRUEL, HORRIBLE AND INHUMAN ACT OF ALL

was when James, to punish the boy for not cutting up more wood,took him upstairs,made him take off his clothes, laid him across a bar- rel, tied his legs together, and fastened the end of the cord to a cross-beam above; then pulled the barrel from under him, leaving the body fall with a painful jerk as the rope straitened ; nd while the poor creature was hanging in this position, head downwards, with a devil's hand fired by a hellish heart, applied a red-hot.iron to his bare back. The boy’s body still bears the mark of James’ ‘* toasting iron” ; and were it not for this, the story of such a fiendish act would be almost incrediMle. The burnt. flesh had to heal as best it could with the clothes chafing it, as the boy says his mother didn’t even apply a rag to ease the pain. The scar is still about three or four inches long,and the boy, when showing it, said: ‘‘ And them.other marks is where he used to hit me.”’

OTHER SCARS ON THE BACK,

justify the boy’s remark. Another child, about two years old, has black and blue bruises on his throat, and when asked what was done to him, the little fellow put his hand to his throat, saying ‘‘ Harry choke.” | This child, an the statement of its mother, James forced to drink six cups of tea, and when its little stomach overflowed and the tea ran out of its mouth, James would give this as a proof to the mother that the child was a little glutton. This child is also being cared for by a family that intends to adopt it. And having all this before us, what are we to think of the woman—the mother—who allowed such cruel and barbarous treatment to be inflicted upon her children, her own flesh and blood, without making it at once known to the authorities and have the “villain arrested? Her excuse is that he threatened her own life, but she could just as well have made a complaint against him and had him arrested before the burning of her house as after, for where, among’ the brue creation, is the parent that, on seeing its off-spring injured, will not risk its awn- life to save its young from harm ? The fact is that owing to their living together illicitly the woman. was—

CASTING A MOTHER'S LOVE AND INSTINCT ASIDE

ready to condone the offences of the man she harbored and falsely stated was her hus- band, and on this account no sympathy what- ever is expressed for her at the loss of her house and home. Mrs. Miller is now living in Halifax, as strange as it may appear, although in keeping with the peculiar nature of the woman, it is stated she will endeavor to clear James when the trial comes on. A great many residents here fear this,as he threatened if ever able he.will visit Hubbard’s Cove again and haye revenge on those who loving law and order were chiefly instrumental in his arrest. The unanimous wish-here- is that James may return to the province to which he belongs, or rathet to that partof it (Dorches- ter) where criminals of his class meet with their just reward,

Miss Kellogg and her talented company is the chief topic of conversation, A departure from the usual concert programme will be | made, the first part of the entertainment being

made of concert selections, and, the second part composed entirely of an act from some well known opera, properly set and costumed. The Montreal Hera/d thus speaks of her as an operatic singer:

In Italian opera Clara Louise Kellogg is

deemed to be greatgy, than almost any other singer who has been heard heré. The English, not natural or melodious tongue, is softened by her charming execution, while the Italian,

overflowing with melody, derives more power

from majestic partitions of idealized vehem-

ence than from the smooth vocal genius of

Kellogg, which warbles most deliciously in

temperate musical zones where the emotions

are pleasantly affected without being shaken

by the strains of passionate song. She has

also the advantage over the more showy European singers as her merit is decidedly

that of brilliant executive, and colored as this

is by an extremely pleasing personage and

graceful mien and vivacity the combination

has great fascination.”
