THE Lewistown Sentinel published the
two following items july Il Yesterday Mrs.
Julia Kelly was in Lewistown, and told the
sad story of her agonizing and fruitless
search for her lost child. In 1874, while
living at TitusviIle. Crawford county, she
sent her little daughter, Mary Ann, aged s
years and months, to the store for sugar,
and she has never seen the child since nor
has she heard any tidings of her. For seven
years she has kept up the search, and still
I hopes TO get some intelligence of the child's
wherea5orti. She carries a testimonial
from Mr.. L. Rogers, Deputy Secretary of
Internal Affairs at Harrisburg, under date of
March 15, 1881, who says he has known Mrs.
Kelly for twenty years and confirms her
statement Of the loss OF her child. He ap-
peals to Christian parents who love their
own TO render every assistarce to this poor
woman in her search. Gov. Hoyt endorses
the statement of Mr.. Rogers, and COM
mends Mrs. Kelly ssto the Find Offices Of all
our good people who can in any way, direct
or indirect, assist her in the search of her
child.''

flies got his foot across the tongue, and be-
coming unmanagetlc started to run. Miss
p. dropped the lines aud jumped from the
reaper without injury. Fortunately, wien
the lines dropped they were caught in the
cogs and stopped the horses. The damage
to the machine was broken tongue.
