MARYsvILtB, Pa, July 22, 1871.

In addition to what ] have already writ
ten in regard to the lost child, there is one
item which did not mention, and which is
now almost conclusive as to her fate. This
idea forced itself upon tho mind of your
correspondent from the first, but great
many laughed at it, so that no mention
was made of 1t.
On Thursday evening previous July y
to the date of the missing child, two men
came to the house of Christian Derrick,
living a short distance from Mrs. Kronch's
house, and dressed as soldiers. These men
took supper with Mr.. ID, after which they
took to the fields and kept in between the
Railroad and the mountain, passing near
the residence of the child's mother. On
Friday, sometime in the afternoon, these
same men were still in the neighborhood
and were seen by several parties, only about
one mile from Mrs. KS house.
On Tuesday, (July 11th) report had it,
that two men crossed the N. G. r. r.
Bridge during the night, with a little girl
of the description of the one lost. Some
men followed as far as Pine Grove where
they were informed that the men passed
with the girl. From the latter place, other
men have gone in pursuit, but with what
success, we have not yet heard. One thing
is certain, that the interest in the matter is
not as great as it should be, from the fact
that the woman is poor and unable to offer
reward for the recovery of the child.

A Little Girl Missing.
MARYsyILLE, PA. July II. 1871.

~ MARYsvILLE, Pa, July IL, 1871.
Mr.. Editor - On Friday the 18th inst,
a daughter of Mrs. Kronch, living in AL
lens Cove, aged ten years, was missing, and
although the neighbors from far and near
have been unrelaxing in their searching for
the child, no tidings have as yet been found,
up to this writing-12t o'clock, p M, on
Monday. 1t is supposed that two hundred
people have been ON the mountain on Sun
day. The mother lives quite on the noun
tain, but the child was familiar with every
road, path, ETC., and to have gone astray
would be almost out of the question. The
child is mute, but very sensitive in other
respects weighs over one hundred pounds.
Some persons are Of the opinion that the
child has been kidnapped or foully dealt
with; but this is only supposition. The
mountain has been so thoroughly searched
that it is impossible for her to be on the
mountain. Yours, &C.,

THE SoCIABLE at the Presbyterian
Church on Tuesday night was a very
pleasant affair. After some general con
versation, Miss B. and Mrs M sang
"How dear to he the Hour" a duet.
Mrs. Herritt then delivered a short dis
course on the Early history OF Mantle
woe" 1t was very pleasing. Among
other things recalled Of the primary
doines of the Presbyterian Church ct
Manitowoc, was how Brother Borcl1erdt
used to fiddle for the church choir on
Sundays at Two Rivers A quartette
was then sung by the Misses Y and
W. and Messrs s. and S. Rev. Mr..
Stevens then gave a short sketch of the
church. He thought that one thousand
dollars would finish the church, and that
the labor could be done in six weeks.
Hearth and Home was sung by
Mrs. NJ and the three Misses B. =
and was followed by the beautiful quar-
tette ''Home again Returning" sung by
Messrs M S. and Misses Y and
w
A main feature of the evenings pro-
ceedings, was that Of two young ladies
passing round hats full Of money They
did not offer US any Of it, nor did we
hear of any one else who got any. Ice
Cream was also passed round to those
who paid for it. The ladies realized
something less then 500.
The closing song by Miss B was
performed in her usual beautiful style,
the theme do not trust the Boys" vas
most appropriate, and, we hope, will be
remembered by all orr young misses.
The auction sale of splendid bouquet
by Mr.. John B Miller, closed the interest
ing and very pleasing exercises; the
most heartfelt thanks are due to all who
favored the sociabIe with their presence

RAILROAD 9SATTERS,

MEssRs. Buck, Walker. Luling, Soul
erin and Mulholland sts.rted on trip of
inspection over the line of the western
Railway last Monday morning and found
everything fully satisfactory, except the
almost unbearable heat and mosquitoes
they went out some twenty five miles and
returned safely but fatigucd on Tuesday
evening. On their return to the County
line they were unable to find the corps of
engineers, until they reached Reedsvllle,
where they discovered the horse and bug
gy belonging to the Company and on
farther enquiry found the gentlemen In
the care ola Constable in Justice office,
where they had been brought on war;
rant for the heinous crime Of running a
line through a wheat field. Col. Walker
even could not satisfy the learned court
that the law in this case was on the side
of the defendants, until lie himsef-be>
ing known even in Reedsville as the most
law abiding citizen of our county-would
accompany the surveyors through the
Contested field and he actually did so,
leaving Messrs Luling anC Mulholland
as securities for the criminals. The feat
having been accomplished and SO proven
to the satisfaction Of the Justice, the
Court decided that the Constable pay the
costs of the Court and the plaintiff
the demages, for inducing the court by
his seductive representation to make an
assistant Of himself in this unlawful
transaction. This matter having been
settled it was discovered to the dismay
of the surveying party and their legal adj
wiser, that the Lager which they had
ordered and which had been furnish ed
soon after they had left, was mon est an
rentus" in law latin, or missing" in
english, and the Justice in whose Office
it had been deposited, was at the latest
accounts still unable to solve the mystery.
The securities however haviug been duly
discharged by the court, V ere safely con-
veyed to their vehicle aud the whole
party finally reached town without further
accidents
