A VERY romantic incident recent
~ occurred in Talbot county. The
Butler Herald learns from a gentle-
man who has returned from that
county that quite early one morning
last week, there was found placed at
the front door of Miss SalIie Nixon,
an aged lady. large trunk filled
with baby clothes Of the best quail
ty, and everything necessary for the
comfort and care of young infant,
Placed on top of the clothing was a
beautiful girl baby, supposed to be
about ten or twelve days old. The
trunk had been very carefully plac
ed in a position to shisId the young
babe from the cool morning air, with
the lid partly closed. BY the size
of tho child was note addressed to
the lady mentioned above, and con-
tanning thirty dollars in money, with
an earnest request to take good care
Of the child that it's parents were
wealthy, and that more money would
be sent in due time that she nor
the child should ever wan. for any
thing There was no name signed
to the note, with the exception of
two initials. We are Informed the
old lady at once embraced the child
lovingly in her arms, with the re-
mark that she would not take a
thousand dollars for il. The whole
affair is clothed in mystery.
