A few days since a woman came to a cobler's cel-
lar, in Denmark-street, Dublin, and observed to
his wife that her child was amazingly like her's that
died, and was of the same age,, two months. She
brought them presents of dress for the child, and
It professed great interest in their welfare. Upon the
third visit, she gwe the cooler 'a leiter to Colonel
Hartfield, Old Man's Hospital, and brought the
mother to Mountioy-square, where she said her
husband lived as butler. She gave the Mother a key
to deliver, and held the child fill she should return,
but on coming-back,' the child and woman had va-
tsished. She is about 30 years of age, middle size,
sandy hair, long visage; her accent like English or
Scotch, wore a white dotted shawl with red spots,
and a red spotted calic.o gown, faded in the front,
.a straw bonnet with brown ribbons, and wore it
much over her face. The poor parents are nearly
deranged by the calamity.
Last week, as some Gentlemen; near Ivy Bridge,
were coursing 'a hare with a brace of greyhounds,
after a long chase it was killed ; and,. as they were
carrying her home, a palpitation was observed in
the stomach. Curiosity led them to paunch her,
and they took out of her paunch three hares, one
dead and two alive. The two latter were brought
home to -Mr. Williams's, Ivy Bridge; where a cat,
which had been just-deprived of her kittens, suckled
them very readily, and they are now alive; and like-
ly to do well.
A WHISTLING. LovER.—A curious kind -of a dis-
covery was made at the house of a Mr. S. a short
distance from the end of Bond-street, on Saturday
night. A very reputable young man, who had carried
on a secret amour with a handsome young lass," an
inmate belonging to the house of Mr. S. who is her
uncle, got into an unlucky scrape, which has ex-
posed the Lady to the anger of her relatives. It hap-
pened that on a certain night, about a fortnight ago,
a burglary had been committed in the street; and
the watchman belonging to the beat had perceived
the young man spoken of, whistling, near to the
house where the young Lady resided, previous to the
depredation having been committed: On Saturday
night, whilst the honest guardian of the night was
taking a secret turn, without his lint horn; he found
Mr. W. whistling harmonious tunes again under a
windoW ; and although neither his garb nonappear-
ance much resembled those of a robber, the watch-
man took him into custody. Appearances were con-
sidered to be against him : and consequently, to do
away the stigma of :a Suspeaed robber, the young
Lady was nuclei the necessity of appearing before a
Magistrate yesterday, to verify the defence ot her para-
mour, that it was by whistling his approach was
announced, and'that it had been for some time a
signal for him to be admitted privately to the house.
The good man of the mansion, it appeared, had for-
bid Mr. W. .!s presenceto his niece,' some time since,
on account of her youth. Mr. W.' was of course
honourably liberated.
