Boy or Girl?

One day last week babe, only few
days old. snugly enveloped and carefully
packed in basket, was found OIL the front
steps of one of the Catholic institutions of
the city. Somelittle girls carried it in to
g the good Sisters, who Immediately decided
to care for the toundling until it was re-
claimed or could be sent to the Orphan
Asylum. First, however, it was necessary
to have it baptized, and for this piors pur-
pose it was dispatched, in charge OF the
little girls, to the Father Contessor of the
institution. s:
Arriving at his room, and announcing
their mission, the good Father conducted
them to the chapel, and taking the little
"waif" " in his arms, while the young dew
otee looked up with all their eyes, he asked
the usual question, "Boy or girl ?"
oi This was poser. None could answer it.
and 1t was repeated. .rr
4a1"Don't know, your reverence" one of
the youngsters ventured to stammer out.
''Then take it out doors and examine"
ordered the good father. ga
The girls departed and returned, and in
answer to the inquiry from the eyes of the
priest, one said "boy," and blashed all
over. .eIH.t g
) The ceremony of baptism was then COM
pleted, and the girls, with their Christian;
ized charge bearing the name of Saint of
the Day, returned to the Sisters. They in
quired the name; said it was nice one,
and hoped the child would live to be
worthy the name it bore, to all of which
the little girls dutifully replied, ''Hope So"
1t was decided then to send the waif to the
Asylum, and for this purpose appropriate,
clothing was procured, in the arrangement
of which startling discovery was made.
the "boy" was girl .- .i-
What was to pe done? 1t would never
do to have girl with boys name. So,
after some deliberation. a justifiable amount
of rather grave amusement at the awk-
wardness of the situation, and the blunder
of the young devotees, they were sent back
with their squalling charge to the good
Father to rectify the mistake. The rite
had been properly performed for the child,
tne name ony was tbs p tb So tbna W1t ha h
gave feminine termination to the mascu-
line name, and sent the party back to
trouble him no more on the question of
boy or girl.-CfncinnGti Commercial.

ACurious snake Case.

A physician residing at Gree nfield, Ohio
writes as follows to the Cincinnati ''Gazette >
A few days since I was called in to see q
young man by the name of James G. Soutee
who is clerking for Heldingsfield & Bro.
clothing merchants of that place. He has
been suffering for some time past with q
severe pain in the region of the stomach
want of appetite, dimness of vision and
giddiness. After examining him admin
istered brisk purgative, and in short
time he passed living snake. seventeen
and a half inches in length and about three
fourths of an iuch in in diameter at the
largest part of the body. He says in June
1854 he remembers, while drinking from a
brook, he swallowed something unusual
but paid no attention to itat the time
Since then he has been more or less troub-
led with it. The snake is still preserved
alive in water at the drug store OF w. F
Crispins. .

AS this is the season of the year that gin

living five miles southwest of this place,
with hoe and basket in hand, went into the
woods to dig for ginseng, and made very
profitable days work of it. She dug and
gathered pounds of ginseng, worth S. so;
caught young spotted fawn, which she
sold to-day in Litchfield for $40; caught and
killed young gray foxes, for which the
State pays her S5, and killed two black

the fawn and baby from her breast at the

The Daily empire. (Dayton, Ohio) 1865-1867, 1867-05-24

A DISHONEST CLERK.-A young clerk,
named VIM. +. Welsh, employed, for only
few months back, in the extensive store
of Shillito & Co., Cincinnati, was yesterday
detected In having carried on n systematic
scheme of robbery. The officers, who were
put on his track, after making the arrest,
searched his room and found large lot OF
the missing goods--laces, silks Of the most
valuable qualities, gloves, &c.-where he
had secreted them in his trunks and be-
tween tho sheets aud mattress OF his bed.
Among letters found were two that reveal
ed the fact that he had come from Wash
ington, Iowa. where he had been under
bonds to appear for trial on some charge
not revealed, and that he had forfeited his
bond. He is probably sure ofa free pass to
the one-front hotel, at Columbus.

A $4,000 vrppicr-Before Judge stor-

A $4,000 vrRDicr-Before Judge Stor-
or, in the Cincinnati Superior Court, on
Wednesday, NJ. X. Bartlett obtained a
Judgment Of damages In Si0,l00, against
the Baltimore aud Ohio railroad. The
plaintiff sued for damages resulting from
delay In transportation Of large quantity
Of pork and lard from Chilllcothe, Ohio,
via the Marietta & Cincinnati and Balti-
more & Ohio railroads to New York. The
freight was so long on the way that the
plaintiff was unable to NIL the contract he
made for It's delivery, and the price de-
clining. he was obliged to sell at a heavy
loss.
The defense was that the Baltimore road
was threatened and partially destroyed by
the rebels, and that one bridge was taken
away by a freshet. The shipment was
made in April 1862. 1t was also urged
that the United States military authorities
took possession of the cars whenever the
public necessity required, and hence the
delay, against which they claimed to have
provided by inserting in the bill of lading
or receipt for the freight, a stipulation that
they were not to be held liable for delay
from such causes.
