Our evening contemporary has the
following: IA two-year-old child, at
the Pico House, yesterday morning,
caused a momentary thrill of horror to
the people on the sidewalk, by making
a play-place of the projecting pedi-
ment of the first story. 1t had crawled
out of the window with it's little play
things, and was arranging them on
the dangerous projection, when it was
observed by gentleman on the side
walk and motioned to return. Parties
rushed to the room and found the door
locked, the parents having gone out
and left the child alone. Fortunately
the little one needed the signs of the
spectators, picked up its playthings,
turned boldly around, ignorant of its
peril, and crawled back through the
half-open window. There were lusty
arms braced to catch the child, who was
in imminent peril of falling from the
dangerous height.
