Mr.. James Lally of New York city, gentle.
man who is interested in some plantation
property in Plaquemines parish, paid visit
down the coast last Saturday accompanied by
Mr.. j. G. Fleek, of Newark, Ohio, and during
the day visited the st. Rosalie plantation,
about thirty miles below the city.
They had arranged previously to have
horses sent for them for the purpose of re-
turning, and after concluding their visit re-

There was boy brought to our Orphan
House on the 25th Of last month, by Bishop
Doan, of New York. He secured him from
Mr.. Keany missionary at Havana.
The child was found in a circus in Gu ba,
and by the authorities taken from them, for
abuse, and delivered to the American Consul.
He gave him to the Missionary to take to the
States. have just learned that the circus
mpany took him from the Poor-House in
your city.
Said boy is five or six years old, high,
broad forehead, light eyebrows hazel eyes,
brown hair, rather straight built, fair com
plexion, and has the appearance of good pa
rentage. Says his name is Charley, and used
to ride in a carriage with his mother before
the circus woman took him. He says he had
a baby sister.
We think that the boy has been stolen Can
you set on foot an inquiry in relation to the
boy if he was taken from the poor-house by
the circus company. that fact can be found.
II you can find out any thing about this boy,
it will be gratefully received Yours,
