fined on Monday night, and was delivered of a ne
looking female child. She attended only by her
sister, Bridget Cummings, without any medical aid
but finding herself becoming exceedingly weak for
want of proper treatment, Dr. Whitaker Of $40 Broad
way, was called in, who found the sick woman in
very critical situation. The suitable remedies were
applied, and the woman Is now doing well The child

this circumstance created his suspicion, which he
communicated to Justice McGrath of the Sixth
Ward, who Immediately made search for the child
aided by offcer Woodbridge ana resulted in the child

child was smohered in the filth leaving only its little
legs sticking up to which rope was made fast and
the poor little innocent again brought to light
The mother, it is said, has been married only two
months which is supposed to be the cause of the

The Seduction Case.-Under this caption in the
Herald Of Monday morning, article appeared re-
fectng upon the conduct Of the mate of the ship Iowa
for refusing to give up man named Lawson against
whom officer Leland held warrant ON q charge of
seduction The reason why the mate refused to give
up the man at that time from the fact that he
sdered the boat in which the officer boarded the shin
too frail, as the wind was then high to take them
safely to the shore He did object to the arrest Of
the man, and told the officer he could take him if he
would bring boat in which lie might be safely Ian ded
We cheerfuly make this correction in justice to the
mate, who In the refusal kept only eye to the safety
Of the life Of the we'll that of the officer nd
the oar smen who were with him.
