Cgrr n DEsxRTI02z.—A heartless .case of child desertion occurred at the Grand 'Drunk station, on Monday evening. When the 6.80 train from 14endon arrived Isere, a young wo.InaII was observed to walk across the platform to the waiting room, with a bundle in her arms,,but no atten- tion was paid to the circumstance until a few moments after the train had departed, when, the bundle was found to be abonne. ing boy, about four weeks old. It wait natural to assume that the unnatural mo- ther had gone north on the train and word was telegraphed ahead to intercept her, Hint elle could not be discovered. The baby, in the meantime, was taken charge. of by the railway authorities, who placed it Ruder the care of Mrs. Pike and others, where it still remains; these ladies are giving their services to its care gratuitous- ly, When found, the baby was under the influence .of a, powerful drug, from which it has, not yet recovered. Next day Mr. Paisley was sent to Winghani, to and out anything he could about the mother of the child . but could learn nothing fur- ther than that she had not,been seen on -the train after it left Clinton station. When left, the child had on simply two night dresses, and waswrapped in a black- waist. lackwaist. It has since been •learned that Dr. Stewart, of Montreal, happened to sit behindthe child's mother from London approached Clin- ton train C to Clinton ton he. observed her take her waist and wrap it -about the baby; she had a little girl about three years old with her also, and after - leaving the baby they walled down the track, got in a buggy that was passing along the London road, ,and disappeared. When it became known 'aroundtown that a baby had been left at the station, It was visited' by-.soorea of pee- ple;.men, women and children., curious to see It, and a contribution was taken upto procure clothing for it, as it was entirely estitute. The statement in our local co teas that #t cbarge of 26c. was made to see it, is: entirely astray, as.is also the state- ment that a sum of $6 had been raised by this means. As the town authorities re- fused to have anything to do with it, the railway_company will be eeMpelled to look after its welfare, but it is not likely to suffer, as'several applications have al- ready been made for its adoption, If any one would like to adopt it, Mr. Pattison will be pleased to hear from them, The ladies here have been very kind in send- ing clothing to the little outcast, but it is still none too well provided for, and it will. be a considerate act if any one having surplus "baby clothes" svill donate them to the child, - HORSE NOTE$,—Mr. Jas.
