THAT BABY.
Last Saturday evening Mr.. John. r.
Downs obtained an order from a physi-
clan for the admission Of Lizzie Wilson,
formerly in his employ, to the in6rmary.
She had a genuine case of yellow fever.
When removed to the in6rmary she re-
fused to part with her baby, eleven
months old, and in fact there was no
place to leave it, for Mr.. Downs lately
lost his wife and little boy by the yellow
fever. He has q little girl of his own
left to care for, and was so sick himself
that he could hardly walk. Under the
circumstances the baby went to the in
Urinary, and there seemed to be no help
fer it. Yesterday Father Kelly kindly
had it removed to st. Peters Orphan
Asylum. Had Mr.. Downs been able to
procure a nurse for the child, or had his
wife been living, he would have gladly
offered to take care of it.
