Mother and Son ReunIted.

The baltimore american of April s, pub
lished the following romantic story.
Raymond Ramsay, bright boy Of twelve
years, who was the adopted son of Mr.. H..
NJ. Courtney, prominent farmer, who resides
| on the boundary line between Baltimore and
Hartford counties, left yesterday for Battle
Greek, Neb., where he will be reunited with
his mother, from whom he has been separat ed
for five years. The story CT how the reunion
was effected reads like romance. Five
years ago Samuel Ramsay, the father of Ray-
mond, and his wife lived in Omaha, Neb.
They quarreled and separated, and it was
| agreed that Mr.. Ramsay should take his sen,
and that Mrs. Ramsay should have control OF
the couples two daughters. Little Raymo nd
| it is said, was torn from his mothers arms,
| and sent by his father 10 a relative in tie
East, and was adopted by Mr.. Courtney.
! The boy lost all trace Of his father, but the
memory of his mother never passed from lis
mind. Ills foster parents were kind to him,
but every night he prayed that his mother
might be restored to him.
Last week, while looking at a map of Ne
braska, which he had often studied with The
hope of finding some clue of his mother, he
noticed the words BATTLE Creek" Quick as
a flash the boy recalled that his grandfatle'
bad lived at that place. Mr.. Courtney wrote
to the postmaster Il: Battle Creek, asking Lin
to make inquiries in regard to Mrs. Ramsay
The postmaster replied at once, stating that
Mrs. Ramsay was the daughter of Rev. Mr.
Daman, prominent Methodist minister oil
the place. The next mail brought a Letter
from Mrs. Ramsay to Mr.. Courtney, in
which she returned thanks to God that hel
long-ost son had been found, and asked Mr.
Courtney to send him to her at once. Eay
mond wcpt with Joy when be learned tina: h,
would be restored again TO his motIer
Yesterday afternoon he was accompanied 10y
Mr.. ard Mrs. Courtney to Union Station, il
Baltimore, ard left at three o'clock for Bsttl,
Creek.
Mr. Courtney said that it caused him grca
pain to part with the boy, but not for all thu
world would he prevent the boy from rec civ
ing that blessing he had for years so feryent
ly prayed for-of being reunited to hi
mother.

In accordance with the General Order issued
last week, the members of Company d. Isl
Regiment, Infantry, NJ. n. &. presented
themselv in an unusual number at the
Armory on Monday evening for inspection.
The company numbers forty-ffVe men and
Of this number, fully ninety-tive per cent
were on hand. Col. John 5. Saunders, the
Regimental Inspector, arrived On the evening
train, accompanied by DR.. 5. Griffith Davis,
Surgeon of the Fifth Regiment, VI. n. q.
They were met by Captain Forwood and
Lieut. Rouse who escorted them to their
quarters.
The inspection took place about niEc
O'Clock, Corporal Silas Smith acting IS
orderly, and resulted in the visiting officers
deciding to furnish the company with new
arms and accoutremeuts. They are very
much needed, the uniforms having been in
use for the past ten years. There are but
twenty eight serviceabie rifles in the armory.
The want of target practice also places the
men at a great disadvantage. They have not
been supplied with the necessary ammunition
for four years past Notwithstanding the fact
that repeated applications have been made by
Capt Forwood and other officers. Great com
plant has been made throughout the State,
that cartridges for target practice have been
furnished the city regiments, while acquisitions
from the First Regiment have either been
neglected or dishonored.
The men presented fine appearance, and
are able to do honor to their county and State.
They elected favorable comment from the Off
cials as well as from the audience present,
among whom were a number of ladies.

One OF the most interesting and am using
events of the season was held in the Court
House on Easter Monday night. 1t was an
auction sale of aprons for the benefit Of the
Emmanuel Building fluid and realized about
fifty dollars, despite the Indictment weather
and the counter attraction of the military in
spcction. The court room presented a cur
ious and unique aspect. Lines had been
stretched across the room, aud upon them
hung several scores of those handy and use
full articles of woman's apparel. Aprons were
there of every style and fashion, from the
huge culinary affair to the dainty little rib
bon bedecked ''bean catcher" The sale was
conducted by the vetern auctioneer, MIR. j. s.
Richardson, and the prices obtained were
good ones. An apron made and donated by
Mrs. Lloyd Lowudes, brought six dollars; one
by Mrs Richard Daliam, four dollars; and one
hand made by lady of eighty years also
brought good price. The affair was ably
managed b. Mr.. Benjamin Bissel and was a
success in every particular.
