(From the Poughkeepsie Eagle.

AN INCIDENT IN REAL LIFE During
the prevalence of the yellow fever in the
city OF New York in 1928, father was
removed by the epidemic from his fami-
ly, leaving a vile and three children,
little boy ten or eleven years old, and
two girls, both younger. The widow
and the mother finding herself unable to
support her children, was obliged to
place them in the Aims House, intending
to take them from it rs soon as her cir
cumstances would permit. 1t so happen
ed, that ust al that time there was a
change in the superintendent Of the
aims house, and tho name Of The boy
was neglected to be enrolled; and being
bound out soon after to gentleman III
the country, all trace of him was lost,
when the mother subsequently called for
her children. She therefore took her
daughters, but set on foot many inqui-
res concerning her son, all Of which,
however, were fruitless, and she gave
him up as one lost to her although living.
In the mean time the boy had been taxi
en- into Ulster county, where proving
ready and serviceable, he soon found
his way into store, and in a few years
to Poughkeepsie, where, up to last fall,
he had resided nearly three years. All
this time he did not suppose himself to
have a relative in this world. Judge
then of his surprise, when gentleman
entered the store where he was q clerk,
inquired for him, invited him to one Of
our public houses, where, after inquring
into his history, he unfolded himself as
his p-iather, took him to New York,
and in we'll finished parlor, he was pre-
sented to his mother, who knew hlm at

ceased father BY the merest accident,
or perhaps by one Of those occurrences
which seem to have the finger Of Provi-
dence in them, he was discovered. The
lady of the merchant with whom he
boarded, being on visit to New York,
mentioned his name at place where
his mother and sisters were intimate. -
His name soon reached their ears, and

SUNDAY NEW SPAPERS.

Most entirely and unequivocally do we
concur in the truth and justness of the follow
ing article from the Maine Wesleyan Jour
nal:-
II is with sincere regret we notice that an
attempt to publish paper on the Sabbath, is
at least, apparently successful A paper has
been issued for somc weeks, in New York,
on Sabbath morning. A similar attempt was
made a year or two since IN Boston, and 1t
failed. We expressed ourselves ut that time
upon the subject through these columns
Our mind is not changed in regard to it. We
believe the custom to be fraught with wick
edness. 1t is the incipicnt step, which may
lead, if unchecked by the great power, public
opinion, into other practices that will render
to the great mass Of succeeding generations,
the Sabbath day as mere name-wltlout
any form of observance. We say now, as
ithen,-who can calculate the extent of the
evil that would come upon this country by
the abrogaton of the custom Of observing the
Sabbath day? Who can judge of the fatality
of the world, that Religion and good Morals
would receive, were it to come to pass, that
the refraining from labor on the Sabbath day,
and serving God publicly, should speedily
end? Who can tell how long the judgments
of Heaven, in their most appalling awiulness,
would be averted from US, were we, rs ma
ton, to neglect that command, beginning, "sx
days shalt thou labor" which was Illuminated
from Mount Sinai for our observance? These
are momentous qucstions,-and this public
step to nullify our reverence for the Sabbath
day, renders them peculiarly appropriate
We do solemn duty-by calling the public
attention to it, and expressing our own point
ed disapprobation of it. The public must
correct the evil by frowning it into contempt,
or they may find that from this germe may
spring the Bohon Upas, that will overshadow
all the land.

.4rreSt.-On the 10th May last publca-
ton appeared in the London Weekly Des-
patch, stating that Mr.. Robert OTis, a
magistrate of Norfolk, England, and chair
man of the Walsingham quarter sessions, had
committed forgeries to the amount of E25,
coo sterling, and gone to America. In con-
sequence Bow street police officer, named
Henry Miller, shipped for this country, and
arriving here with instructions to have Orris
arrested, he applied to Mr.. Bixlcy lawyer
for advice, how best to proceed to effect his
purpose when Orris should arrive. On Fri
day, Orris and his son, who had been out
travelling, arrived in town, aud took lodgings
at Tammany Hall and a writ having been is
sued from the Supreme Court at the suit OF
Cole for his arrest, in civil suit, with q view
to get him into custody, preliminary to Grim
ina proceedings, Huntingdon, police officer,
was deputized 10 find out and arrest him.
This he succeeded in doing late at night,
and the Walsingham magistrate slept in the
prison. After his arrest, the Bow street Off
Ger went with some others to the lodgings of
Orris, and breaking open his trunks, found
in that of his son, upwards Of $1,000, which
he took and had it secured.-In the morning
application was made by Oris, to the British
Consul, and it having been ascertained, that
he could not be held on the civil proceed
ings, he was discharged aud being taken to
the Police office, an affidavit was made by the
Dow street officer, Miller, against him, but il
was decided, that us no part of the money he
was accused OF having obtained by forgery
was found upon him. and the evidence of his
guilt not being presented before the Police
Court in suit OF form as 10 justify his dcton-
tion, he was discharged froal cuStody.-.NY
