lands loss is Wor esters gain As The steam
boat train from Boston TO New York was
nearing Worcester the other evening, a great
excitement occurred on the cars. It seems
that young married couple, who arrived in
Portland by Saturdays steamer from Liver
pool, were expecting shortly after their arrival
in the land of freedom, to welcome to their
iar"iy circle little stranger. They had how
ever calculated that some little time would
elapse before the event, presuming rather up
on the we'll known generosity of Santa Claus

consequently, when within mile or two of
the above named city, the services of physi-
clan were required, and the parents hearts
were gladdened by son and heir. Neither
father or mother could speak English, but kind
friends were found who removed mother and
child to the hospital room at the police sta
ton, where at last accounts they were doing as
well as could be expected.
