Tracing an Abducted Child.

Some of the Washington papers say
that it has just become known to persons
outside of the family and deteutives
employed that a little grandson of the
Hon. j. A. Hubbell, of Michigan, Chair
man of the Republican Congressional
Committee, was abducted from his home
IN Wisconsin several months ago, and
has not yet been recovered. 1t is true
that little boy was stolen in Wisconsin,
and has not yet been found, but he
was not Mr.. Hubbells grand
son. The boy was the son of
an old friend of Mr.. Hubbell. Mr.. Will
liam E. Dickinson, of Commonwealth,
Wis, and he was stolen in sight of his
fathers house. in that place, on Novem
Der /, 1881 He was five years old. 1t
is said that Mr. Dickinson bad aroused
the enmity of some ruffiiaps in the town,
and that they had sworn to have revenge.
The case, with that exception, is similar
to that of Charlie Ross. The mother be-
came almost distracted as the weeks and
months went by without any news from
her little boy, and at last she undertook
to search for him in person. The boy is
supposed II have been stolen by a man
named William Morris Mrs. Dick
enson has followed traces of her
boy almost from one end of the coun-
try to the other, and has sometimes, as
she believes, been very near him.
Detectives have also aided in the search.
Last week she reached Culpeper, Va,
and discovered that those whom she had
been following had left that place the
day before, and had started for this city.
Some clothing was found in Culpeper,
which she thought she recognized as
belonging to the boy. She came to this
CITY. 1t was then found that those
whom she pursued had left the railroad
train at email station, six miles this
side of Culpeper. A large reward has
been offered for the recovery of the
child. After stopping for day or two
in this city Mrs. Dickinson returned to
her home in Wisconsin, because the clue
was not sufficiently promising to war
rant her in tracing 1t further.

BUFFALO CHATS
Come After the Flood aud Torment
the Few Remaining Cattle 80
Death.

A correspondent of the C0urier-Jouq.
nal, writing from Marion, Ark, says:
After pleasant trip down the big Mis-.
sissippi l was landed by the steamer
John Overton, from Memphis to Marion,
on dry ground, the water having fallen
three feet in all, leaving about one tenth
of Crittenden county above water and
the other nine-tenths in glorious expec-
tatiOns in the future, when they may be
able to plow and plant. Some of the
planters in this immediate neighborhood
have already commenced work, but they
tell me that it is terrible on the mules.
The buffalo gnats are worse than ever
known before, and it is almost impossi-
BILE for either man or beast to stand the
internal pests. A man can scarcely sit
still for gnats and mosquitoes, and they
are all clamorous to present their bills
Immediately without fear or favor. The
water has been higher here this time by
sixteen inches than was ever known by
the oldest inhabitant The cattle are
nearly all drowned or starved to DEATH
and the surviving ones are finished by
the gnats. So you see it is rather q
gloomy outlook for the people here. and
am told that this county has suffered
much less than the adjoining counties
below here, of which you have already
had many thrilling descriptions. The
country that lies between here and the
st. Francis river, which contains many
thousands of acres of rich cotton lands
belonging to the State, and called dona-
ton lands. have suffered worse than all,
as many of them were new settlers who
had gone in there within the last ten
months and picked out what they
thought the most elevated spots, and
built their log cabins in good faith, think
ing they were lucky in getting homes so
cheap. But, alas the floods came, and
now scarcely vestige remains, all being
swept away, and many have lost their
lives. Others who had boats escaped
with nothing but their lives So Tyronga
will hereafter have few attractions for
any one, except the timber and stave
men. Misfortune. the saying goes, never
comes single. which is verified in this
case. First came the drought, which left
the people poor, indeed-nO corn and
not cotton enough to pay their debts,
and of course no more credit, but little
to live on and nothing to feed their
stock. You would think this bad
enough, but the flood coming, you see,
has about done the business for most of
these unfortunate people, and it will
take at least three years 10 recover from
its effects and put them back where they
were last spring.
