wandered about for twenty.one hours before
it was found. It appears that Mr.. Wright
was working near Coaldale, about mile and
half from home, and had taken two of tbs
older children with him in the morning, in.
tending to send them back with package
for their mother. Being gone longer than
usual, the mother became anxious about
! them, and started out to meet them, leaving
the little child above mentioned and an
older one in charge of the house. She was
hardly out Of sight, when these two young
sters started after her and had gone some
distance from the house when the older one
concluded to go back, leaving the other alone
in the road. In due time the mother re-
turned with the boys and found her youngest
child missing. Upon inquiry, she learned
the above particulars, and Immediately in.
stituted search, which was diligently kept
up till FIVE o'clock In the afternoon. Every
nook and corner was examined, but no trace
of the child could be found. At this time
a message was sent to the father and tie

citizens Of that town, merchants, mechanics,
miners, laborers, and all, joined in the hunt,

night when they adjourned only to reform
! the line early in the morning The next
morning Mr.. B. F. Thomas, while on his
way home for refreshments, found the child
sitting by the trunk of fallen tree about one
mile from where the parents live, calling for
its mother. He accordingly picked it up
and carried it to its mother. We leave our
readers to imagine the JOY occasioned by this
intelligence. The child appears to be none
the worse of for this bit of romance, not
withstanding it had the whooping cough at
the time, and was exposed to very nclement
weather
''LiTTLE THNGs. We had a regular
Spring rain on Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
since which time cabbage and tomato plants
have been thriving wonderfully. Several
weeks ago we made a mistake in noticing the
death ofan aged citizen Of Southampton twp.
II should have read Michael Mills, instead of
Michael Miller. He was So years, months,
and 26 days old. Thus far we have better
prospects for fruit than we have had for
several years. Apples are scarce and com
mand good prices in town. A number of
horse buyers have been in town the past week,
and bought up the best stock to ship it to the
East. They expect to be back on Circus day,
the 16th) to make another haul. Horse
flesh is ranging from $3.50 to $3.50. A num-
Der Of pavements we're almost impossible on
Friday after the rain, several in Mud Town
and whole lot on Main Street A few loads
of gravel at a small expense is all that is
necessary to convert these detestihle mud
holes into respectable sidewalks, and if it is
not done soon, we will inform the public who
the delinquents are. The ''Bedford Syringe
and the various boarding houses in and about
Bedford are making ample preparations for
big run Of custom the coming Summer. 1t
has been proven beyond doubt that the
"Bedford Springs" waters for medicinal pur-
poses are the best in the United States and
hundreds of living witnesses from all parts of
the country are willing to testify to it from
experience. We notice new pavement in
front of the Anderson House--Who will be
the next on the list of improvements. One
day last week, Mr.. John Eversoie, of South
Woodbery towsnhip, broke his leg, while in
the act of telling a tree. Dr.. Charles Long
is pacticing medicine at New Enterprise. He
is a competent physician, and deserves the
patronage of that vicinity. DR.. VIM. Watson
is laying new floor in his office, on Pitt St.,
this week, besides papering, painting, and
everything else to make it cozy for this Sum

The CEYsus.-C Census taking time is com
ing around. We look forward with interest
to the consummation Of this business. The
Census taker will have to q a great many
(apparently) impertinent questions, but as
he only comes round every ten years, we
hope every body will post him correctly.
With an eye to ''locals, we shall watch the
returns very closely.
