parents sat at home in despair, each
passing hour and the increasing violence
of the storm adding TO their sufferings.
At length day dawned, and again the
community turned out en- masse for the

the little truant. Irstead OF going
home the child had wandered off into
adjoining fields, and night overtaking
her she wandered she knew not whittier.
At last, worn out and fatigued, she lay
down and fell asleep where she was
found. Her clothing was dripping with
water, and her body cold as ice. Med
ical aid was summoned, and now the
child Is we'll.
