Observation-Disclosures the prisoners in the
Moyamensing lookup on Tuesday night, was a
young and interesting female, the daughter of
one of the first families of the chief commercial
city of southern State. Only few years ago,
and she was the pride of fond parents. At the
age of sixteen, she eloped from boarding
school with midshipman in the navy, who
seduced her from the paths of virtue. Ruin
ensued, and she was lost to her people. Dissi-
patton and infamy became her lot. At last she
sunk to the level of the unfortunates of Small
street. Her case excited the deepest pity.
She was sent to prison.-I'hiia. Penn.
