A LITTLE WANDERER.-Last Monday
night, basket was placed on the Express
train as it left Staunton for the east. Before
the train reached Charlottesville. the con-
ductor discovered that it contained a club
by, bright little boy baby, who having ex-
hausted the nourishment which had been
provided for him, was masking things lively by
an exercise of his vocal powers. The fol-
lowing day, the basket and contents was re-
turned to Stanton, and Mr.. Hopkins, the
agent of the company, Immediately, sent for
Cinthy Kurtz, overseer of the poor, to come
and take charge of it. No sooner had Gin
thy's eye rested on the baby than he knew
all about it, and in few minutes sent a
women to claim and take it away. 1t seems
that month or so ago, a man from near
Spring Hill brought the infant to Cinthy
and told him that a women from town left it
at biz house, promising to pay for having it
cared for. The man was told to take it back
to the woman, who lived IN town. This was
done, and shortly after the same woman
took it to the county poor house, where ad-
mittance was refused it. The effort was
then made to dispose of it, as stated above,
but it was again returned to the same quar-
tiers. The woman who now has it, states
that the child is of respectable and well-to-
do parents, and that she is literally paid to
keep it. She states also, that it was taken
from her Monday night under false pretenses,
the individual who got it having said that
he had found good home for 1t.

physical strength is required, is meeting with

Pictorial Bible. for which he is agent In the

would make valuable additions to any libra
