CHILDREN LOST IN THE WOODS. %
Saturday, 2Sth ultimo, two children, belong
ing TO Mr.. Grouse of Westminster, the one
five and the other three years old, were in
the absence of the parents, allowed to GO
into the woods in quest of flowers and nuts.
when Mrs. Grouse returned home in the
afternoon, and inquired for the children, she
found the two TO which we haze adverted
missing. The alarm was soon given TO the
neighbors, and diligent search immed-
ately made. At night, fires were lighted
in the woods around the farm, with the hope
of guiding the children homewards. All,
however, proved unavailing. On Sunday
morning, all who heard of the event joined
in the pursuit: ana on Monday the woods
were literally cr:ered with men who with
an alacrity which will ever reflect credit
on the surrounding settlements. 1ocked in
from every direction, to assist in rescuing
the unfortunate infants from impending ruin,
and their heart broken parents from a
state of almost hopeless wretchedness.-
Not trace however of them was discover
ed until Tuesday morning, when the young
est was found sitting on log about four
miles from its fathers house. We saw the
child short time after it was found it
appeared in perfect health, and exhibited
no signs of delirium; on the contrary, 1t
seemed to US, perhaps owing to its suffer
ings, the most interesting looking child We
had ever noticed. After its mother had
pressed it to her bosom, and bathed its face
in tears ofjoy. we handed it a cake, which
it commenced to eat without any apparent
avidity or extreme hunger. Apprehensive
that the whole cake might be too much for
it, we offered TO exchange oui watch for it,
and had scarcely presented it towards the
child when it eagerly reached for it and re-
signed the cake; we then asked him where
his brother was-he said he went to get
food for him a little while ago, that he slept
with him last night and covered him with
leaves. The search, although perseverej
in with ain industry and an energy unparal-
leled, has up to the present moment been
unsuccessful. This is the 14th day, and it
is evident that the child was alive on Sun
day last, as its fresh tracks were on that
day observed upwards of ten miles from
home, yet it remains still, and we fear ever
will, lost child. The woods are very ex-
iensVe, spreading from the North branch
of Talbot Road East upwards of twenty
five miles, and extending North and South
between twelve and fifteen miles. This
qmmense tract is without a human habita-
ton, not having even foot path through
lis whole extent, save a road partially cut
out, but not yet travelled. from Talbot street
TO the commissioners road. Some of the
nights have been very cold, and one or two
remarkably wet, still it is generally thought
that the child yet lives.
