TERMS OF ADVERTrSING
THE LOST CHILD,

This case was called before Cour. Commits.
sioner Buttvck on Friday last, and on motion
Of the attorney Of the claimant, Mr.. Crary, tbs
trial was postponed till the 18th inst
This is one Of the most singular instances on
record. Two mothers claiming the same child :;
and what adds to tn singulariiy one is white
woman and the other an Indian. The case is
exciting great deal Of interest Public opinion
Is divided. The majority. however, believe tha,
II Is the white womans child.
For oursclf, we are not decided in opinion -
The child IS as dark as full Indian child, very
nearly. But It's features, eyes, hands and feet,
and every other form, denote the white child
besides II so resembles the daughter of Mr. Pat
ndge, two years older, that almost every behold
eT pronounces them brother and sister. Nr. and
Mrs. Partridge are OF quite dark complexion, and
the girl Is but little lighter than the claimed
child We visited them while they were tooeth-
err, and but two other lndiv:l.nls ~ the voou,.-
We said to him, My lad come and shake hands
with me- and he came and reached out his hand.
We lifted him on our knee and asked bin if he
was afraid, and he shook his head We told
him to 90 and stand BY his sister and he went
We told him to turn with his face toward the
window, and he did SO. Every thing we said to
him seemed 10 be rs readily understood as by
any ordinary Child of six years. An elderly gen.
ucman came into the room, and being so intent
on the child, the common courtesy of asking him
to a seat was unthinkingly omitted The child
voluntarily, without a word being sad, carried
chair, aud placed it by him So that he could seat
himself lie Conversos readily with those who
can speak Menomonee, they taking English and
he NenOmonec
On the other hand, the Indian Agent, Mr.
Lave gentleman of the first standing, the
Catholic mnster--a missionary to the Menomo-
nee raton--Mr. Powell, Mr.. Cowen and 9TH
or Indian Traders and the Indian woman and
the whole Indian tribe insist vehcmenty that il
belongs to the Indian woman. The character
OF this testimony, together with the tawry ap-
Pearance OF the child, are Of great weight.
The child says, when asked why it don't spcak
English, that its mother threatoncdto skin il fit
spoke English in n white mans house.
Ills placed in Sheriff Cooey's custody till the
trial, subject to the visits of beth parties claiming
it. Mrs Partridge has been there, washed il
all over, cleaned it up thoroughly, and dressed
it, and says she thinks il is her child
Altogether, il is a most singular affair. His
tory contains no parallel. 1t is question that
seems hard to decide. The sympathy, and the
opinion formed outside of the legal rule, seem
to favor Mr.. Partridge. But the law seems so
far to favor the Indicns.
The trial Will be deeply Interesting --OAkosh

A NosT SINGULAR CRcUMsTAXcr.--Th
Princeton, Ky, Republican, of the 18th relo.ra
the facts concerning the loss of a negro wo-
man, in the woods, and the circumstances of
her being found, which are truly surprising
The owner supposed she had elopcd, and gave
himself no concern for her safety, but some
boys while hunting rabbits, found her mbedded
in the snow, and supposed she was dead. The
Republican adds
One of them touched her with his cane, 10
see if decomposition had taken place, when TO
his establishment she slightly moved her head.
This lead to further examination finally they
reused the negro, who was in short time at
ter the usual remedies, having been rcsorted TO,
able TO converse with them. She stated that she
had eat nor drank nothing except snow since she
had left the house thnt she had seen no fire or
no person, but had been ont in the weather all
the time. From the time she was lost to the
time she was found, was fourteen days. The
weather had been extraordinarily cold, and when
she was found the snow on the ground eight
inches deep. The negro is IN fair way Of re-
covcry, as every pains was taken with her
Mr.. III. tells us that she will escape with the
loss of one foot. The regrO when lost was re-
markably feshy, when found she was the most
emacated creature perhaps ever seen alive
The facts can b. sub,tantatnG nv the testimon-
nv of some of the most ros9cctabIe men ofour
county.
