Parker, Emirs., and with Mr. Spence and other gentle.. men, whose names are still cherished by their fellow-townsmen, and he soon after that time assumed its editorial management, which he continued to exercise almost to the time of his death.

Ihe parent: have since made every search and inquiry for it, without twing able to discover it. All they have been able to learn is, that the man was seen with it in his arms crossing the fields at a distance from the fire. The concealment is the more extraordinary, as the child was very intelligent, and could give the names of its family, with every particular that might be required. Information having been given to the Prefect of Police, officers are by his order actively engaged in all directions in endeavouring to recover the child.
