lady in this city missed from her wardrobe several
dresses. The mysterious manner in which these
ar cles disappeared led to inquiry and suspicion q.
length rested on a servant In the house. who, to
prevent recurrence of the evil, was sent away
from the premises. On Monday last, child in the
house discovered little white girl coming down
the steps, with bundle In her arms, who, on being
questioned, replied that she wanted some water.
Immediately after the girl left, the lady of the house
went up stairs, and discovered that another dress
had been taken. On the following day, the same
girl was seen passing By the house, and recognized
whereupon gentleman went out and ascertained
where she lived. If there are circumstances con-
nected with the history Of this child that render

renew their efforts, and ascertain where in our city
such unfortunate condition of things exists That
some remedy should be applied and such evils re.
moved, is too plain proposition to require arga-
