Cincinnati, by the o'clock train, family

They got on board the cars of the Allan
tic and Great Western at Gallon, for Gin
cinnati, where they said they had friends,
and whittier they were Fastening, desti-
tute, and. as they are reported to have said,
almost starving. The woman had in her
arms an infant in a dying condition, says
our informant, which died here a short
time after the arrival of the train, and
which the mother herself washed and laid
out on one of the tables in the ladies' room.
The proper authorities being notified, a
coffin was furnished and the necessary ar
rangements were made for its burial. A
collection was at once set on foot by Mr..
Snyder, baggage master, some money col
lected and handed over TO the family, who
were also supplied with something TO eat
and sent on their way to Cincinnati.

c3- Ladies, we rather guess you will
have to reduce the extent of your crinO
line. Under the new police arrangement
no one is allowed to occupy more than foul

happy to set our eyes on any two ladies
r dressed in the fashion, who could stop OF
the sidewalk to converse without occupy
ing more than four feet of space. Nov
