Babe Found Yesterday morning no little ex-
citement was created by the announcement of the
fact, that gentleman owning q vacant house on
Mayo street. In showing the premises to two ladies'
had discovered the body of an Innocent babe con-
cealed in drawer or closet Hundreds Of stori-s
were at once set shoat as to how the little crea-
tHre got there, and many of those who had not
seen the body, were anxious that the Coroner
should be sert for and an inquest held Haaring

facts, and found the child had been removed to a
drug store on Main street. doubtless to prevent the
