Ia tho old court house, at philadelphia.
over three years ago her husband, Joseph
a. Turner, was hurt in the Edge MoDt

Injuries, leaving his wife and child in
deatitute circumstances.
Mse. Turner was unable 10 provide for
the child and was prevailed upon TO let
her cousin, William j. Burroughs ard
vie OF Manayunk, have charge Of it.
The ehili, who is a bright little girl, 5
years OF s2e lSst January, was accordingly
taSsn by Mr.. and Mrs. Burroughs, nearly
" years ago. Her name is Annie Lease
Turner, and being bright, efTectionate
child, eompiet ly won tue hearts Of MIR.
aud Mrs Burroughs.
Mira. Turner now lives with her father,
William Patton, q lRborer in Moores
ship yard, on Kiund street, west of Pine,
and is able to support herself and child.
She received SOME money froin o lod +. Q to
which her husband belonged. A short
TINS ago she applied to the Burruugi
FOR little Annie, but they had become so
attached TO her, having no children of
their own, that they refused, without
denying the motLer's right to claim her,
TO give Annie uD unless compelled TO do
60. Hence the legal proceedings.
Judge Ihsyer, after commencing the
kindness of Mrs. Burroughs, who was
extremely unwilling to part with the
child pnd had provided for it in the best
possible manner, placed the girl in her
mothers care. The scene in court at the
parting between the girl and Mrs. Bur

Annie was playiaS with other children
Of hsr age on Klund street on Saturday,
