SINGULAR CASE OF BoYiSH ATTACHMENT.
Plot From Real life for Novel Play OF
the ssFanchonO Sort.

from the Milwaukee Wisconsin, Dec. 1871
Some time ago a poorly dressed boy made his APP
pcarance ut the farm OF Mr. John Thomas, living In
the town OF Lake, and asked for work. Mr.. Thomas
had nothing for the boy to do, and was about send
ing him away when q daughter OF the farmer en-
treated that he might be employed in doing some
thing about the farm, she taking pity on the boys
told the boy he might stay with him until he could
get another place. The boy, between fourteen and
fifteen years of age immediately went to work, and
In few days 1t was found that he was useful
about the farm that he was employed and taken at
once into the family. The boy said he lived in New
York: he thought his parents dead but did Dot
know, and that he had been sent West with some
other boys, and put to work on farm. The man he
was with treated him so unkindly that he ran away
and coming TO Milwaukee he walked out TO the farm,
and, fortunately for him. succeeded In finding
home The action Of the farmers daughter In appeal
INC FOR the boy appeared TO awaken a feeling OF
gratitude in the little walrs heart and hecouI not

lady In loo great degree. few weeks ago Mr.
Thomas daughter was married and with her hu5-
band went TO Chicago TO live. The boy appeared to
take the absence OF his mistress very much at heart
and to mourn over It. Last week he went to Chica-

her and her husband but this being impossible
money was given him to pay his fare home. a num-

finally cried and mourned himself into nt Of sick

were reduced to thirty cents These excessive nue.
