me, about three-quarters past seven o'clock,
/ heard the door bell ring; the dog barked
very loud, but paid no attention toit, not
thinking that it concerned me; some one
opened the door and exclaimed, " Oh, here
comes Clementina )" two men and wo-
man, who were strangers to me, brought
my daughter in; ! hardly recognized her
at first; I left her with the neighbors who
had gathered around, and ran into the shop
to inform my man that she had returned;
when came back my attention was drawn
to the two men and woman, and told my
brother To hold them; I kept my eye On |
the woman, and left my daughter to be
taken care Of by the neighbors; my brother
asked one of, the men where he brought
deceased from, when he replied that he got
her at the foot Of jay street; I then asked
the woman where Clementina came from,
and she said Newburg; I asked her the
nsme of the family she was with, and she
said Mrs. Green, and gave the number of
the street where she lived; the woman then
said that my daughter had very severe
attack of pleurisy.' 2 7 9 io - s. I
