\ QUEER CASE
A while ago, a little boy, three and
a half years old, living in passaic
village, New Jersey, straed away
from home. He wandered to the
railroad, and when he saw car stop,
he thought it would be n nice thing
to take ride. So he cllmed up the
steps, got into the car, aud rode to
Jersey City. When the car stopped,
he wandered on to the tcrry-boat
with the surging crowd Of passengers,
and was soon at the foot OF Court
Iandt street, in tie great city OF New
York. Here he played around o
little while in high glee. BY and,by,
as night came on, he hogan to be
hungry and to cry for bis father and
mother. SO a kind hearted policeman
picked him up, took him 10 the sta-
lion house, and the sergeant sent hlm
to Mrs. Ewing's, at police headqnar-
ters.
As soon as little Johnny was missed
at home in Passaic, the search com
tnenced. Dinner came, and no
Johnny then supper passed, and the
father and mother began to bc iran
tic. They searched everywhere for
two days and two nights. The blg
at Passaic was stopped, and
one hundred workmen secured the
country. Then, AZ u last resort, his
heart broken father came to New
York After putting an advertise.
lnent in the Herald, he thought he
would 20 TO police headquarters.
Jonny was such 3 bright little boy
that the matron had taken hitn out
with her on Broadway,
when the father came he sat down
till her return to question her about
lost children.
Judge of his astonishment and Joy,
after fifteen minutes waiting, when
Johnny came fat upon him with the
matron
Why, my little boy ~ cried the
father, chow did you get here p
Bot johnny was too full Of JOY to re-
ply, and when his father went Off TO
tell the glad news to bis mother, he
cried til his father took him along
too, and he woulden't let his fathers
hand 90 till he got clear back to Pas,
sale for fear he would be lost again.
