Attempt to StranGle n Baby.

O'CLOCK in the bushes at 9th and Q streets,
on the property of Samuel Rittenhouse.
The child was several weeks old, and
weighed about r. pounds, being nearly white
in colcr. The policeman was attracted by
the sounds of the infants crying, but he
was some time in locating it. The baby
had evidently been in it's place for four or
five hours, and had a white rag tied rather
tightly around its throat, which gave the
impression that an attempt had been made
to strange it. The patrol wagon conveyed
it to the new asylum at 1135 9th street,
where it was given care and attention.
