AnoIo- French Messenger, and reply, postpaid,
is requested to be sent to one Michael Mon
cean. Munich "It is youth, education, and
sentiment which, united with riches, consti-
tute the charm of human life. | am young,
well educated, and possessed of feeling; but,
alas am not wealthy. Now, which of you who
have a surplus of riches is willing to bestow
ON me a shareY But do not offer me a smaller
sum than ten thousand pounds, for to accept
less than that would be to beg"

A CASE OF LETHARGY.--A man is now lying
in the 81. Jean Hospital in Turin, in COM
plete state of lethargy. He is quite insensible
to the pricks from needles, and the soles of
his feet are also without feeling. Some shocks
of electricity have alone produced any effect on
him. He is twenty-four years of age, and for
the last few days has lived on milk passed
through his nose into the oesOphagus.

ATTEMPTED ABDUCTIoN.-John Robertson was
before Recorder Eneu yeste cdaY afternoon. upon
the charge OF attempting to abduct Wilhelmina
LOChardt, aged thirteen. from the Germantown
Orphans Home. 1t appears that Robertson and
his vile visited the institution on Monday for
the purpose of seeing Wilhelmina but sne, per-
ceiving them entering the gateway, ran to one
OF the matrons and told her "that there point
ing TO RobertsOn) comes the man who took me
away last year, and then hid away.
The would-be abductor, being unable to find
the little girl, gave a boy three cents to take
note TO her. wnich was an invitation for her to
call at No. 203 Quarry street. Very coaxing Ian
guage was used the heading. for instance, read
ing thus:-"My dear, sweet little grip Robert
son abducted the girl from the house last year.
and it was week before the officers of the in
sttutioD could get ner again. Louis L. Houpt,
Secretary OF the Board of Trustees of the Insti-
tuition, as soon as he learned of Robertson's
intentions, had warrant issued for his arrest
and Sergeant Crout arrested him.
The defendant made a rather verbose state
ment to the Recorder BE said his intentions
were not criminal; he had merely called to see
the girl, but was unable to do, and had given
the boy the note to bring her to him; his former
wife had raised the child from a mere infant
and they both felt very much attached to her
The Recorder held him in $1,000 bail to ans wer
at Court. A warrant has been issued for the
arrest OF his wife. 1t will be remem oered that
Wilhelmlna is the same girl who testified in re-
gard to the outrageous conduct of Rev. Mr..
Wendt at the hearing before the Recorder few
days ago.

came Off yesterday morning, at Gloucester
T nuJsa @ snn aeG EIDer

each about five feet three inches high, and bez
long in the northern section OF the city. About
fifty people were present to witness the fight,
having rowed from one OF the upper wharves of
the city to the scene OF the encounter. There
was no referee, as the 6ght was what is termed
a catch weight, to be decided on its own
"merits." Twenty rounds were fought IN thirty
minutes. Budd Riley and another, name un-
known acted as seconds tor Fly6sh; Connie
Logan and one Tallman acting for Sweeny.
Sweeny, although the worst punished man of
the two. won the 6ght by Flyfsh striking foul
blow. The parties returned to the city last
night without molestatlon.
