A FoUNDLING.-ExTRAoR CIRCUM
sTANcE.-We learn that on Saturday white female
infant found upon the track of the Central Rail-
road about two and half miles from the Frederck's
Hall station 1t seemed 70 be about FIVE six weeks
old and was naked Tied around its neck was a very
nice kenting handkerchief TWAS not tied very tight
and evidently not tied to suocate it. 1t was still
alive, and taken to the house of friend Mr..
VIM. G. Richardson, near by. Dr. VIM. ]. Pendleton
was soon called in to the little stranger. He
found it laboring under spasm, produced by the
posure and fall it had evidently had. 3
How the infant there is the question. 1t was
found about three hours after the train from Rich
mond for Charlottesville had passed The persons
who discovered it of opinion that it dropped
from the closet of the they passed. and
that the handkerchief around its neck used for
the purpose of letting it down. 1t was found mme-
diately on that part of the track which it must
have fallen if dropped from the water closet of the
car 1t had bruises its head and shoulder and its
little face and hands somewhat blistered from
the sun. The Doctor, on Saturday evening, was of
opinion it would i've The wonder is that it not
killed by the fall, however cautiously it might have
been let down.
This remarkable case is theme for conjecture
hat motive could have induced this cruel abandon
naent OF rHu Uaaa Was it the fruit of anssresson
If it is strange how it could Kept by its mother
for five six weeks and then abandoned in such a
manner-it strange how she should undertake such
stratagem hide her fault for enter the cars in
this city Nth infant which she could hardly con-
cea from the passengers, and continue her journey
beyond Frederick's Hall without one would lead to
exposure. Such an expedent might be adopted to
avoid the knowledge of relatives whom she about
to meet; but them unless the infant could be con-
cealed entering the cars it is that must result
in exposure.
1t may be, however, that the child was placed
where it was found by some not in the cars in
the hope that the above solution would be adopted
But, let us speculate may, still the question
arises, how came the child there!
If it lives, its history will be strange one. 1t
ought be considered the 'Child of the Railroad
and be regarded by every connected with it with
an affection like that entertained by the stern SOL
diers for the ''Child of the Regiment"
We shall likely hear of this extraordinary oc-
currence.
FIRE.-Between 2 and o'clock Friday
morning. fire broke out in the backsmith's shop of
Mr.. Edw'd. R. Cooper, situated on 18th st. between
Broad and Grace streets. The shop and contents to-
gether with small kitchen attached, were destroy

NARROW EscAPE.-Mr. John F. Tanner
of this city, made very narrow escape from drown

York to Richmond. He was passing from the boat at
Aqua Greek to the landing in order to take the cars
when he ostled against by another passenger and
fell overheard sailor jumped in after him and with
the aid of rope succeeded with great difficulty in
saving Mr.. Tanners life.
