THAT BABY.-In our last issue we
mentioned the circumstances, so far as
known, Of the finding of baby on the
premises Of Mr.. Weinschenck Of South
Cherry street. We give the sequel as
follows: Before Mr.. Weinschenck had
learned anything positive concerning the
parentage Of the infant he and his wife,
having become attached to it, proceeded
10 take steps for its legal adoption; but
ere the formalities Of such proceeding
were completed, and about one week
after the child had been found, its moth
er went to them and claimed it, stating
that it had not been abandoned by her,
and although the father of the child was
her lawful husband, they had never lived
together, and she, finding herself unable
to support both herself and child,
had given 1t into the charge Of her hus-
bands parents, who were to keep and
support it; but instead Of doing so she
claimed they were the parties who were
responsible for its abandonment-that
she preferred taking it and caring for it
to the best of her ability, rather than
leave il TO them. Mr.. and Mrs Vein
schenck could not dispute her right TO
the child, and although they had grown
fond Of it, and had almost completed ar
rangements for its futurity, under their
guardianship, they were compelled to
give 1t up, and It Is now in the care Of
its mother.
