A Living Child Shipped in a Soap
Box,

Yesterday evening, a little after eight
O'Clock, discovery OF very extraordina-
~ character was made at the Tlthebarn
Street railway station. When the parcels
we're being taken out of the goods van of
the train from Preston, which arrived at
$40, one of the porters heard the cry of
a child proceeding apparently from a
heap of luggage, and he drew the atten-
ton of Some of the other men to the fact.
Their suspicious were, of course, aroused,
and a soap-box, which was among the
rest of the parcels, was opened. Very
much to the establishment of the officials
and others who gathered around, it was
found to contain a fine, healthy looking
female child, apparently about month
or six weeks old. A police constable was
at once "called in" and the little
stranger who had so opportunity made its
presence known was given into his
charge. The constable took the child
and the box to the detective office in Dale
street The assistance of some OF the
women living in the neighborhood was
obtained, and the child was washed and
fed. Subsequently it was sent to the
work house; and, instead Of suffering
any ill effects from its long and close
confinement, it is at present in the most
healthy and thriving condition. The
box in which it was g booked" for Liver
pool is an ordinary soap-box, about
twelve or fourteen inches long, by six
inches wide, and about eight or ten inches
deep. 1t bore a glaring label having ref
erence to Hudson's dry soap" on the
inside of the lid and similar one on one
of the sides, while on the top of the lid
was a slip of writing paper, loosely
fastened on with couple of pins, and
containing the following direction, writ
ten in women's handwriting and la
boriously "disguised": "Mr. Williams
Liverpool To Left Till Called For" At
the bottom of the box there was a small
piece of old carpet doubled up, but the
rough wood of the sides was uncovered.
The train had left Preston at 6:45 p. NJ
an hour and half previously-but it is
believed that the "parcel" was booked at
Preston station, and had been lying in the
parcels Office considerable time before
that. The child was dressed in q white
chemise, some white flannel and white
cotton napkin, and it was wrapped in an
old blue flannel petticoat. q There were nc
holes in the box, and the only vent for all
was the chink between the lids and the
sides. 1t is, therefore, marvellous that the
infant should have lived so long, and the
inhuman mother, or whoever the sender
may have been, must have anticipated
that it would be smothered on the jour.
ney. There is no trace, beyond such as
| may arise from the bare circumstances
which have been stated, as to the persons
concerned, but there is no doubt the great
est exertions will be made by the police
to follow up their discovery of the in
tended murder by something further

Reply to Citizen"
RUTLAND, Jan. 6, 1876

RUTLAND, Jan. 6, 1876.
Editor Rutland Globe will you allow
me the use of your columns to reply TO the
communication of "Cilizen' which appear
ed in THE GLOBE of this morning.
1t is to be regretted that "Citizen" is so
much alarmed for fear he shall be called
upon to help pay the expenses of the Yer
mont militia to Philadelphia, and lad he
taken the trouble to inquire he would have
found there was no unusual activity among
the militia but that nearly every company
in the state have been drilling once and
twice week for the last five years, and
can speak for one of them that it will un-
doubleday continue 80 to do even if such
things are distssteful to "Citizen."
would most heartily endorse the sug-
gestion Of taking not only Gen. Stannard
and Rutland's colonies but the prominent
soldiers of our late aoar from all over the
state as | know from personal cx-
perence that there are no truer friends
OF the militia than the soldery Of the late
'oar, and / know should "Citizen" take the
trouble to interview General Stannard or
any other generals or colonies of the state,
they would unhesitatingly acknowledge that
the preliminary education they received in
the militia was of incalculable benefit to
them in their several positions during
the aoar. / for one am in favor of
having the legislature convened, and hope
they will make an appropriation to assist
the citizens of Vermont in celebrating the
centennial of our country (whetber the
militia goes or mott and, in fact, am SO
anxious about it that | would suggest that
the appropriation should include ex.gov-
erners, as | presume "Ctizens" modesty
alone prevented mis- mentioning ex-govern-
ors with generals and colonies, as, OF
course, it will be necessary for some one tc
go and groan about the impoverished PEG
pie of the state, and should judge from
" Citizens" letter that he would fill tn,
place admirably.
Now, if "Citizen" wishes to discuss tn,
question and will do so over his own sgna
ture, have no doubt there may be foun,

January Weather.

An old Green mountain weather prophet
says The first ten days of January will
be warm for the season, winds light and
variable, with some frosts and snow, the
rest of the month being colder. The cold
est weather of the season will be the last
of January and the first week of February,
with but few clustering days the storms
will be light falls of frost, snow or frozen
fogs. February, after the Sth, will be
warm, with varying winds, running, most
of the time, across each other. Till the
10th of March the weather will keep warm
with some rain. There will be more clouds
than storms through the whole season. 1t
will be well to have the ice stored before
the Sth of February.
