A Touohing Incident.

A little Irish girl. says the Willimantic
Medium. perhaps twelve years old, was III
the Depot of our village last Tuesday af-
atetnoon. Just after the arrivals Of the
trains, all alone and crying. The poor
child was forlorn looking enough Some
ladies noticed her, and kindly inquired in
toher trouble. The little girl said that
abe did not know where to find her father.
He was in Willimantic. but the poor sim
pie Child had not the slightest notion how
to proceed to end him. She held an open
letter in her hand dated at this village,
from her father, disclosing his name, and
the fact that he had sent for her to come to
him, and RENTED money to defray her
expenses.
The child had come all the way from
ireland alone, as we afterwards learned
from her father, and she had just arrived
in our village by the oars. One Of our
citizens was on the point Of taking her
with him to some country people, to in
Quire her father out. wher woman put

she was the child's mother.
We had supposed that there was no
