The lost children, of wynockie.

The fate of three little children OF
Joseph Wyble, near New York city, as
described by the Sun, is one which will
touch every parents heart:
Joseph Wyble's three little children left
home at nearly four o'clock on the after
noon of New Year'sDay. They went to
a white walnut tree but little over half a
mile from the house. They must bave
reached the tree about hslf.past four. The
weather was murky and damp Prob
ably the children spent an hour 10 gath
eripg white walnuts and in peeling oil
the outer shells. By the time they had
filled q bag and tin pail with nuts it
must have been half past five. The twi-
light was very short, and darkness rushed
upon them in heavy rain storm. Ter
rified ct his situation, the Oldest boy,
thinking he was retraciDg his steps,
piloted his brothers in q straight line to
the left of the homeward path. The night
was so dark that one could not see his
hand basore bis face, and the rain fell in
torrents. The frightened children hur-
ried over the rocks and through the un-
derbrush, but every step took them iur-
ther from home.
At hclfpast four the mother rem from
the house into the woods, and called the
children. She did NOT go to the hickory
tree, because she did not tpoy lts sltua-
ton. She hardly penetrated the togest
because the younger children et home
followed her, and alarmed her with their
cries. At sbou. seven o'clock the father
entered the woods with lantern. The
deep and steady fell Of rain drowned his
shouts. Ii was certainly after seven
when he reached the hickory tree on
Camel Mount The children had gone
from the tree at least an hour and halt
before. and we're then, drenched TO the
akin, struggling through the forest three
ousE,ers OF mile TO the left.

The sIs.oOO,O0O Legacy.

The role enacted by Dick Radford,
alias Lord Hubert Ainsley, has been
eclipsed by the performances of q Fort
Edward, Nav York, bonnet-builder.
Some three years since a Miss Gray,
whose humble sign as "milliner" sdorns
the front Of q Fort Edward building,
started story to the effect that large
legacy had been left her in England.
The abatement was believed, and she
became the recipient Of no little atten-
ton. Friends and acqusintances con-
graduated her upon her good fortune,
and cherished the hope that they would
not be forgotten on the arrival OF her
ducats. A certain M. d., who had at
various times befriended her, was in turn
congratulated by his friends, inasmuch
as he would undoubtedly be rewarded for
value received. The woman still re-
tanned her shop, and continued to con-
duct herself with such modest mien' as
TO strengthen credence in her story.
Finally, the legacy was announced as
amounting to millions of dollars, and
Mics Gray gave out that it was necessary
for her to proceed to England to look
after he- fortune The wife of the
M ID. alluded to above was selected as
her travelling companion. Subse-
quently the heiress announced that
the action of the English courts had rem
dered it unnecessary for her to proceed
abroad. Then followed the statement,
which was copied far and near, that the
legacy was from an English nobleman,
who years ago had fallen violently in love

was still further whetted by the announce
ment that it was not the neblemsn, but
his father who had made the bequest, and
week before last villagers of Fort Ed
ward were assured that five millions, the
first in stsllment Of the seventeen millions,
had been received by the British Consul
in this city. simultaneously with the
circulation of this story, Miss Gray dis
posed of her millinery establishment at
auction with view, as she said, OF re-
tiring from public life. She then left for
New York, and on her return announced
the receipt of the $5,000,000. And now,
after the story has been telegrapbed ell
over the country, the British Consul pub
fishes card, stating that there is not
shadow of foundation for it.
The people of Fort Edward are at
loss to account for the course of the
Young woman. Her object was doubt
less to make good match, and the won

fully with the deception for so long a
time, she did not rope in customer be.
fore the bubble burst. Young men who
are on the alert to marry fortunes, should
take warning from this Fort Edward ep-
isode. In nine cases out of ten those
who wed for money obtain poor wives
and poorer fortunes. So says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. CT

Adjustment of Quartermaster's
Accounts The story of a Trapper.

Another specimen of the mountain
man was an old fellow whom may call
Seth Baillie. Seth was rather an intelli-
gent man, and during our rambles | used
to be amused to hear his opinions on men
and things, all of which he pronounced
with the utmost confidence, though his
education (as far as book learning was
concerned) was limited, and his range of
observation equally so. Still, like Wes-
tern folk, he locked upon himself as
particular smart" and right smart
chance" of an "argifer."
Baillie had been good deal employed
as guide to emigrauts Tor, as he called
them, emigranters ") for whom he had
q supreme contempt The only job Of
that sort he ever looked back upon with
pleasure was the plotting of troop of
United States cavalry for service in the
Indian war of 1855. He greatly admired
the "smartness Of the Major in COM
mand, and the way be settled trouble
some account. They had lost wagon
here and sold horse there. A soldier
had sold or bartered his csrbine now and
then; and, in fact, their accounts were in
such state that to present a report and
to account for everything to the Quarter
master General was impossible. At last
they came to the Columbia river, and to
a place where there was good deal of
dry timber. "Are there any falls about
here, Baillis7" the Major asked. "0h,
yes the falls of the Columbia are not
over mile" swell, them" the Msjor
thought, well build a raft; the reads
pretty bad" 0l the raft was placed a
broken wagon, three-legged mule, five
or elk broken carbines, an empty cask,
and few more such valusbles. The
Msjor wished to guide it along with
ropes, and, though Bailie assured him
that the current was so strong that
this was impracticable, he insisted. At
last the men shouted that they could hold
on no longer. well, then, let go
was the answer; aud over the falls in
few minutes went the raft and its con-
tents. "The Major cussed q small
chance, fos shoy sake" BAillie re-
marked; "but after while he winked,

tinctly heard children crying on the
mountain. They first cried Hiee-eeI"
A second time she heard their weak
voices shout " Papa, pspal'' and yet
third time Papa, papa, papap As
her husband was deaf, she said nothing,
giving as an excuse that she did
not know any children were missing.
The boys then prepared for their final
struggle. Precipices eighty feet high
were near them, and the side Of the
mountain was covered with huge bolders
With bleeding feet and shiveriug bodies
they moved in the direction of the lights.
The night became very cold. Hemmed
in by the rocks, the children dropped in
despair, not hundred rods from the
mountain road, Little Johnny fell asleep
under cover Of a rock. His heroic
brothers stripped themselves of their
soggy coats in vain effort to keep him
warm. Warren clasped the tin pail to
his breast, and dropped asleep at his
brothers feet, while Anthony, the eldest
brother, climbed the rock and watched
the lights as they faded one by one, until,
benumbed with cold, he rolled from the
rock and died.
Such was the fate of the Wynockie
children, dying within hundred yards OF
the road. within mile Of comfortable
mansion, and within thirty miles Of New
York city. A month elapsed before their
bodies were discovered. Their parents
literally spent their last penny in search
ing for their lost children. George Wy
BILE, the brother Of Joseph, on Wednes-
day night, had hardly mouthful of bread
in his house. He spent over month ia
searching for his little nephsws. Time
in his case was truly money. The people
of Patterson and Wynockie have raised
less than hundred dollars for these poor
people. That will hardly suffice for the
burial of their dead. "A friend of the
afflicted " sends q dollarte the Sun Office
for their benefit, and wishes he was able
to make it Thousand. The dollar has
been forwarded to Mr.. Wyble. Shall this
be the only response from the richest city
