venerable fisherman carried into the house
and commenced unpacking. Tucked away
beneath lot of comfortable flannel OF line
quality was Il beautiful female infant, appa-
rently few days old. Mr.. Wade, as may be
well imagined, was greatly astonished at the
unexpected little visitor, and set about at
once to ascertain, if possible, from whence
she came. When the little walf had been
taken out the party tOr several persons had
nv this time gathered around to see the sight)
discovered note addressed to Mr.. and Mrs.
John Wade, requesting them to take care OF
the child, who, the writer said, was born OF
a respectable but unfortunate woman. IL IS
needless to say that the entire household did
and are doing their best for the comfort ana
care of the little stranger.
Mr.. Wade has cast his net many times,
but declares that never in his life before has
he succeeded in netting mermaid IN these
waters. He desires, a. he says In his note,
that the "owner or owners Will come ioi-
ward prove property, and take it away !;
but if this is not done, he declares that II Is
his intention to do the best he cap for his
