For an hour or two yesterday there was
CONSERVATION and alarm in Nashville
household, caused by the strange disap-
pearance of two small children, the Joy and
pride of their fond parents. When last seen
they were observed playing out in the street
in the vicinity of their house. After
lengthy search, during which the feelings Of
the anxious father and mother may be i'm
agined, the little ones were discovered trun-
ding their hoops in creUGSse in the side
walk. A step ladder was procured and the
children were soon restored to the arms of
their parents. Their papa is not member
of the Street Committee.
