MYsrEEY.--On one of the coolest nights
Of last week, a bsby girl but few days old
was found on the steps of James Williams
Of Prairie du Chen. AS "Jim' is an un-
mixed colored man and the baby very white,
there can be no inference drawn as to the
proprie.y of the deposit at his door. We
are told that one Of our McGregor women
has seen the child and the clothing left with
it and she 'gucsses' that the little unfortu-
nate is Of McG,egor parentage! Can it be
possible that a town like ours is growing so
wicked? 1t is the last remedy however
that the poor young mother may have to
escape life Of disgrace and we have no diff.
ficulty in forgiving her for the abandonment
of her child; it will probably be better pro-
y1ded for in strangers hands
