THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD, PA., JANUARY 25, 1881.
A Strange Tale.
One of the most remarkable Btorles ever
told Id a newspaper Is that of Miss Mary
Ilammell, a young woman SI yean of age,
who la a grand-daughter of Philip L.
Freneau, the well-known American writer.
Miss Ilammell is one of two sisters, the
eldest being a widow, who owns a small
property and resides at Winflold, L. I. A
year and a-ha'lf ago they rented a portion
of their dwelling to a Mrs. Caroline C.
Allen, a woman about 55 years old, who
came to them highly tecommended with
letters representing her to be engaged in
philantbtopio labors, and who pretended
to have a son, the Rev. Mr. Charles Allen,
in this oity. Mrs. Allen soon came to be
the ruling spirit in theestablishment,and at
once assumed a complete control over the
younger slater, Mias Ilammell. A quar
rel with the elder sister led to Mrs. Allen's
expulsion from the beuse, and her arrest
and sentence on conviction to jail for six
weeks for assault. At the end of this time
she made her appearance again, however,
asserted her old influence over Miss Iluin
' raell, and compelled the latter to go away
with ber, notwithstanding the protests of
the elder sister. This was the last beard
of Miss Ilammell unj.il last Friday, when
she was discovered confined in a little
room which had been nailed up, ...Mr'Tiy
ten feet, in an old mansion at Flushing, L.
I. Ilor sister Lad made every effort to
find ber, but in vain. Vi.heu found she
was barefooted, had on only three filthy
garments, and was so weak from hunger
that she could scarcely stand. Slio had
boen imprisoned in this place without a
spark of fire and with only a loaf of bread
for food furnished every three days since
the middle of November. Her story was
that after leaving her sister's borne she
bad been persistently maltreated by Mrs.
Allen, who during all that time had kept
hor a prisoner, who had compelled her to
surrender to her a bank-book representing
a deposit of $400, and who had even forc
ed her to sign a paper conveying to ber
(Mrs. Allen) the property which she
MibS Ilammell) owned jointly with her
widowed sister. The indignities and out
rages to which she bad been subjected
make a startling tale, but the most sur
prising part of it is the meekness with
i which the young womau submitted to her
wrongs, and suggests the fact, which is
borne out by her own story, that she is
weak-minded, if not actually an imbecile.
Two years ago, however, before she had
fallen into the power of Mrs. Allen, she
is said to have been more than ordinarily
intelligent. Altogether the story is one
of the strangest true tales ever told in a
newspaper, and newspapers tell many
strange true tales. N. Y. Sun.
Valuable Cattle Burned. ,
Possibly the most horrible and whole
sale destruction of valuable thoroughbred
cattle ever occurring in Pennsyvania took
place in the burning of the barn on the
Elizabeth farms, Lancaster co., on Friday
night a week. The barn was destroyed by
the hand of an incendiary between twelve
and one o' clock. With it fifty-two bead
of thoroughbred Jersey cattle, seventy-five
game chickens, five thoroughbred hunt
ing dogs, fifty tons of hay and thirty tons
of straw, were destroyed. These farms,
belonging to the G. Dawson Coleman
estate, and managed by Colin Camerou,
have a w idespread reputation for produc
ing fine cattle which have carried off prize
after prize at the state fairs. The farms
are three in number, all managed by Mr.
Cameron, who resides in tbo mansion on
farm No. 1. On this, the mansion farm,
as it is called, were kept all the registered
cattle, which were placed in the immense
barn. Shortly after twelve o'clock Friday
night this barn was discovered to be
on fire, aud in a short time it was totally
destroyed, with all its contents. Mr. Camer
on's brother and others who were first on the
ground, found that the flames had already
gained possession of the building and they
could hear the cries of the poor brutes
which were being slowly roasted. All
efforts to save aHy lives were utterly use
less, and it was not long before the build
ing was in ruins. One of the farm bands
states that he was awakened by the bellow
ing of cattle, and when he looked out of
the window be saw the barn in flames.
The night was bitter cold and nobody
seemed astir. Above the roar of the flames
could be heard the awful groaning and
bellowing of the poor cattle, chained to
their stalls. Wheu he reached the barn
yard the heat was so grea t that he oould
hardly open the doors. He says be tried
to open the doors but the fire bad gained
such rapid headway that be was too late.
Through the window he could see the
poor biutes being roasted alive. The loss
is one of the saddest blows to the owners
of stock ever received in this state, as
ruauy of the animals were very valuable.
KSTAmong the first duties the new jus
tice of Almond, Alleghany county, N.
T., was called upou to perform was to ap
ply a matrimonial tioose. It was only after
the ceremony that be discovered that be bad
lassoed two mcu. One of whom was artis
tically banjjed aud pettiooated for the oc
casion and the canard.

From Rev. N. T. Granger,
Presiding Elder of the St. Albans District
St. Albans, Vt., Jan. 20tli, 1880.
DR. J. B. KENDALL & CO., Gents: In reDly
to your letter I will say that my experience with
Kendall's Spavin Cure has been very satisfactory
indeed. Three or four years ago I procured a bot
tle of your agent, aud witli it, cured a horse of
lameness caused by Spavin. Last season my
horse became very lame and I turned him out for
a few weeks when he became better, but when I
put him on the road he grew worse, when I dis
covered tliata ring-bone was forming, I procured
a bottle of Kendall's Spavin Cure, and with less
than a bottle curod him so that he is not lame,
neither can the bunch be found.
Respectfully yours,
P. N. GRANGER.

four months to take the large one oil, and two
months tor the small one. 1 nave used 10 bottles.
The horse Is entirely well, not at all still, and no
bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wonderful
medicine. It is a new thing here, but if It does
for all what It has done for me Its sale will be very
great. Respectfully yours,
