Tne habit of receiving gratuitous

ATMstresalng Case.
We hear of a very distressing case that
was developed near this city a few. days
ago. A party was passing a house in a
rather unfrequented spot, about a quarter
of a mile from the main road, back of the
Potter place, and, upon calling, -found the
inmates, one Gaston Wells and his family,
formerly of Pender county, in a very sad
condition. It appears that Mrs; Wells had
given birth to twins the night previous,
who were both lying dead on the floor,
while Mr. Wells was sick and in a helpless
condition, and the only remaining members
of the family two little children were
also in feeble health, and all suffering with
hunger. ; Mr. Wells went out into the yard,
with a horn, with the intention of blowing
it and thus summoning assistance, but
fainted and was , unable to accom
plish his purpose. The infants were born
early in the night and their wailings could
be heard until nearly daylight the next
morning, but there was nobody at hand
able to be of any assistance at this most
trying moment. Information of the condi
tion of the family was immediately lodged
with the proper authorities and they were
removed to the County Poor House, where
they have since been receiving, all needful
attention at the hands of the superintendent
and the county physician.
