A Fortunate Find,

Yesterday morning, young boy, aged
eight gyears, from Detroit, Mich, stopping
with his family at the Preble House, left the
hotel early, and wandered off to see the
town. Hours passed, and the family, terri
bly, worried, sought the marshal's office, and
the officers were instructed to look out for
him. About IL o'clock, gentleman. stand
ing on the corner of Preble street, saw a
small boy wandering about aimlessly, and
with big tears dropping on to his
jacket. The gentleman stopped him,
and asked what the matter was. The boy
said he was lost, was stranger, and didn't
know the name Of his hotel Just at that
juncture lady ran up and caught hold OF
the boy. who, turning, shouted out gladly,
"Oh! mother!" and was led off by his over
joyed parent. 1t was singular that he
should have been found almost in front of
the hotel. If the gentleman had not spoken
to him he probably would have wandered
down Preble street and out to Deering.
