The Abducted Boy.

] AO n~uOtCu OCts
The recovery of NJ. Bir's young son
after being lost three years, from Albany
under circumstances sufficiently mys,er'ou
and romantic 10 furnish matter for goo,
story. very naturally attracts much public
notice. As the case is to undergo a ega
examination, it is wrong to pre- judge j. es
pecially by q perverslon Of known facts
The boy has lived, from near the time o.
his abduction, to within two or three weeks
Of the time Of his recovery by his parents
in the family Of Mr. Gould'ng. in this city,
by whom he was sent to a school, and pro.
badly well treated. and for sugh, appears,
they may have become innocently and
honestly by the child. 1t is assumed. in
some Of the accounts that the child was
abducted by Mrs. Goulding. bu, the facts
disclosed BY no means justify such an as.
sumption.
Her account of the manner in which she
came by the boy is corrobora,ed by all the
facts and circumstances which have yet
come 10 light. Mrs. Gouding received the
boy from lady, who, we understand. was
indicted two years ago for abduct'ng him.
and who, according to the circumstances,
yet known. was probably the abductress.
Mrs. GouIdiug has now living with her.
little girl, said to have been received from
the same lady, who may have also bsen
abducted. This little girl. and Mr.. Bun's
boy. were understood.in in this city, TO be or.
phan children Of some relative orMrs.G oul-
ding, in England. There is a profound
mystery hanging over the matter, which
very naturally invests i, with all the inter.
est Of we'll conducted plot in an ingenious
romance :; but let US do no injustice by
giving currency to criminal charges not
warranted by facts. 1t is well established
rule Of law. that persons charged with cr-
minal offences are to be held innocent un-
Ill proved guilty. Let public opinion be as
Ienient, as The law, when no legal proceed-
ings have been instituted. the little girl is
still living at Mr. .Goulding's, quite content
and happy.-Oswego Times. Oct. 9.
THE OTHER LOST, FOUND.
About three years since little girl, the
daughter off German named Henry Bau-
mer. was stolen from Hoboken, where her
parents resided; and although the father
Travelled over great part Of the Union. no
trace OF her could be obtained. 1t was sta.
ted by some Of the neighbors that they saw
respectable looking woman talking To the
child, and the fact o: her having been sio.
len was considered pretty we'll established
Hpboken was more thronged than usual on
lha. day, for il We mistake not. it was the
occasion Of the departure Of the renowned

mother and became separated in the crowd.
A few days since. the newspapers con-

he had been living. also had little girl.

Baumer Immediately started for Oswego.
and recognized in this repu,ed '',win sister"
Of the boy his own child. When he first
saw her, he spoke to her in German, and
she replied in German although she had
