TIE Foundiing Of Lafayette Ptace.-Our
readers may recollect that We published on FRI
day an account Of a male infant having been
leR at the door Of house i'm Lafayette Place,
from whence il was sent to the Aims House.
We feel pleasure in stating that the result OF our
publication has been most fortunate for the
founding. On Saturday morning, gentle
man and lady Of the highest responsibility came
TO the Aims House, and requested to see the IN.
FAINT which was instantly complied with. Its
healthful appearance and beauty increased the
favorable impression which the account of its
unnatural desertion had already created in the
breasts Of its benevolent vistants.
They stated 20 the superintendent that having
been bereft by sickness Of all their children
they had come to the resolution that it the ap-
pearance OF this founding pleased them they
would provide for it as their own child, and that
having seen il they were ready and willing at
once TO adopt it, We need scarcely add that
the offer was too good to be resisted. The SUI
periatendent asSented TO their proposal, and
having made the necessary legal arrangements
the benevolent couple highly delighted, left the
Alms-House taking with them their newly ac-
CURED son.--N Y COur.
