Little Charley Ross.

Tie New York Herald, of the 81 inst
gives us reason to hope that little Charley
Ross, the abducted child, who was taken
from his home in Philadelphia, fourteen
months ago, is still living, and may yet glad
den the hearts of his anxious parents by being
restored to them. The Herald says:
There seems to be some chance that the
missing boy, Charley Ross. may one day be
found from hints thrown out by Mrs. Mosher,
the wife of The man who was suspected of
being the abductor of the boy. Mrs. Mosher S
story points strongly TO the possibility that the
abducted child is still alive, but Kept out of
sight by the confedcrates Of the dead burglers
