A Child TeIegrapher.

The frontier telegraph office at
Williams ranch is managed by Halle
Hutchinson, q little girl nine years OF
age. A gentleman who returned
from there few days since says Hal
lie is the most remarkably intelligent
little elf he ever had the pleasure Of
meeting. She handles her instrument
with the success and precision of an
old operator. Recently, when cleo
ton returns were coming in and the
whole country was wildly excited 10
know the result, little Halle sat at her
instrument, her eyes a." vith!in-
tell,gence, and gathered n '!'s news
from all over the union, WHIT. dozens
of brawny men crowded around to
hear what the Lightning brought, and
to admire the..wonderfall skill OF the
little OPERATOR While controlling
the wires as she does Halle is not I'M
like other little girls OF her age in her
habits and incinatious. For instance,
one end of her operating table is piled
full OF baby dolls, and she spends a
great deal of her leisure time dressing
and nursing them. Brown county
may claim the youngest telegraph
operator IN the world.
