who were SO thoughtful as to attend the
Anna Bishop concert, on Friday night

LosT.-One day last week some half q
dozen Juveniles, from to IL years old,
among them the sons of r. V. Tomlinson,
Geo. Sterling, G. Ladynski, and A. M.
Abraham, with some Others whose names
we did not learn, concluded to go to Clear
Lake, fishing. One of them had little
money, so he bought two loaves of bread and
bushe! of potatoes, and apportioning the
grub out among them they started on foot
for Clear Lake, 1875 miles. They said moth.
ing to their parents about the matter, and
of course there was great anxiety in some
houses, but finally one of the parents got
clue, and started for Skunk river. Here
he found the young gents, in camp, with
good fire, and the remnants OF their supper
lying around, apparently enjoying them
selves finely. They were brought home
famed with their mamma 8 hands, and put
to rest in their little beds. 1t is singular
coincidence, that at the same time others
were finding A M. Abrahams son, he was
giving information by which two little
children belonging to Clear Lake were
found They had strayed away from home,
and when the train bore Macs party 10
Clear Lake he saw them sitting by the
track, and when the alarm was given, by
the ringing of bells, Nc gave the infor ma
ton and the children were found.
