manity was taken to the second district station
house, Thursday evening, whose history, If written
would furnish volune. She gave her name as
Mary Ann Sherwood Upwards of twenty wears
since she LEFT this city with Munroe Edwards. In
what capacity may be easily guessed. She was
then fair young girl of 16, but already hardened
In vice. She has returned to the city, and has
been committed for vagrancy. Even now she
gives evidence of talent that might have made her
an ornament of any circle, but alas her life has
been worse than wasted, and also )w begins to
reap the fruits of her first false stepAl5any Re.
