SWAPPING A BABY.--A woman
Wen. into house at Boston, tho
other day, with an infant in her
arms, and asked leave TO stay awhil ,
as she was weak and tired. She
also asked for something stimulat-
ing, saying that she had but recent
ly been confined. The lady of the
house went out to get n glass of ale
for the stranger, and on returning,
found that her own baby, which she
left asleep in the cradle, had been
taken away by her visitor, and u
negro baby left in its stead. Moth.
ing has been heard of the woman
since, and the affair creates great
excitement among the interested
parties.
