The Ogden Junction gives an account Of the
kidnapping Of . little boy from Germantown
Penn. lately, the circumstances Of which are
almost too atrocious to be credited. The child
was playing on the street with another little
boy older than himself, when two men drove
up 70 them with carriage and invited the lit
tie fellows to get in and ride. to which request
they acceded The men drove them around
town awhile and then sent the older boy to a
store to get some 6recrackers. AZ soon ~
he was gone, the villains drove of with the
little fellow in the carriage. Since then no
clue to tho child's whereabouts: but letters
have been passed between the kidnappers aud
the child's father. in which they promise to re-
store the child for $4,000. and in which they
also state that they know the father has not
the money. but that he has many friends and
can raise the amount. and il he loves money
more than his child. its blood will be on his own
head; and further, that any attempt to ascer
tain tho whereabouts of the child will result in
ito complete humiliation. The unfortunate
father has not the money demanded for the
restoration Of his child, and the police, ~ is
generally the case, cannot discover the slight
est trace Of the child or Of the scoundrel's who
have him in keeping. II there is any one thing
in existence more absolutely imbecils and
worthless than another, we think the police of
our cities are entitled to that distinction.
