The father of the girl, John Cullden, was wounded at the battle of Antiétam, and was receiving a pension from the government. He died about ten years ago, and the pension then reverted to hls fantly, consisting of wo daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret. After his death his brother Thomas applied to the courts to be appointed guardian of the persons and estates of these minor ‘children, anda decree was granted. He then began to draw the pension money due the children, which he squandered for drink, while he neglected and abused the children, iis treatment of the children became intolerable, and the neighbors finally complained to the Society. to Protect Children from Cruelty, and Secretary Crew investigated the case. Hefound that the charge was true, and that the uncle had already appropriated to his own uBe $1,500 belonging to the orphans. He was arrested and fined for the neg- loot of his wards and the guandianship revok ‘The children, the elder thirteen and the younger Ine Years of age, were committed to the custody of the society. ‘the younger girl, Margaret, had become an imbecile from long continued abuse and neglect, and was placed in the almshouse hospital for treatment, and 1s still an inmate of that insti- tution.
