A BABY DESERTED ON THE CARS
The Troy Times says, Friday morning
Conductor David Tolhurst of the Troy and
Boston railroad, found on passing through
the cars, upon the arrival of his train at
the Union Depot at 4-3O a. m, female
child, five or six months old, lying asleep
upon one of the seats of a passenger
coach. The parents had either deserted
it at the depot, or had thoughtlessly gone
of, leaving it behind. Upon disturbing
it, the little thing looked up and smiled
sweetly, and David felt his heart warm
towards it with fatherly affection So he
called officer Ketchum, who was on duty
in the depot, to his assistance and the two
debated long and earnestly as to 1.-THE dis
position of the child. Finally, it was de.
cided that Ketchum should convey it to
the station house, which he did in the
