Yesterday, while the lady managers OF
the Orphans Home were at Buntyn $
Station, a colored girl, having a white
baby in her arms, walked up and handed
the lady President a note as follows: L
am not able to support my baby; please
take care of him." The little waif was
sent to the Home, christened over again,
and will be brought up by this charitable
institution. The colored girl, in expla-
nation of the matter, stated that yester-
day morning a gentlemen met her at
Court Square. He asked her to
follow him to the north side
of the square, where they met colored
woman who had the baby in her arms.

The Sioux City journal of the 9Th
inst, in referring to the high water
there, says:
The Missouri is now higher than it
has been in several years, standing yes
terday afternoon at three o clock at nine
feet six inches above high water mark.
A dispatch from Yankton at four 0 clock
yesterday afternoon said the river was
still rising at that point, and Commodore
Hazlett had dispatch from Benton,
saying the river was likewise rising at
that place yesterday. The bottom land
between the Jim and Vermillion rivers
is reported as all under water. The
opinion seems to be prevalent among
river men, that during this big rise the
Missouri will cut through the narrow
belt some FIVE miles above here, which
separates its waters from those of the
Big Sioux, and abandoning its old cir
cuitous route, making a channel for
itself by way Of the Sioux.
The City of Quincy passed down this
morning with fair trip. She enters the
