MOST INTERESTING CASE.

WE, on yesterday, made mention Of the
arrest of a party of boys from Racine,
Wisconsin, and their detention until news
could be gotten from that place by tel
egraph, as to who they were, and where
bound. sass -
The young gentlemen were in custody
all day yesterday, and their baggage hav-
ing been secured by Capt. Guion of the
day police, an overhauling of it, has given
rise to some most interesting and amusing
Developments. h ra
The boys, three in number, the oldest
named Anson Deolittle. and the woyoung-
er, George and Henry Stearns, it appears,
arc runaways from their parents living in
Racine, Wisconsin. Wesuppose parental
authority had been a little too strictly
employed, and the lads had determined to
free themselves from all restraint, and
make tour South and West upon their
own hook. %a
1t does not yet appear that they are
guilty of direct larceny, yet there is no
reason to doubt that the assortment of
articles found in their carpet bags was OBJ
tanned by them in dishonest way. The
assortment consists Of two rifles, three or
four pistols, four or Eve splendid bowie-
knives, skates, moccasins, gloves, two
brandy TASKS, xell filed, Jack knives, a
lot of percussion cap boxes, shot pouch,
some articles Of children clothing, mon
ey purses and wallets, containing about
$50, aud last of all a yellow backed now
el, entitled g ADVENTURES OF A CoUNTRY
GIRL" written by that chaste and elena
ting writer for the young, Paul de Kock,
In the baggage was also found a memo
randum book or diary, the contents of
which We give below, aud which, whether
as an exposition of their youth
full rasca!ity, or as fair specimen of
, Jung American composition, will be read
with great interest by all. l taai '.ztsas
