remain at his house for a few weeks only, un-
til he could procure a house for her. which was
granted. In few days the man and negroes
mysteriously disappeared, and no trace of their
whereabouts could be had. Every effort to
find clue to his track was unavaiIing. The.
little girl remained for three or four years, and
was then sent to school, got married and has
not since been heard from. The day before
yesterday DR.. ?. received letter from a gen

long lost negroes were. 1t appears that two
brothers were interested in the affair, and re-

visit to them. Baton Rouge Gazette.
