ExTRAORDINAAT, ROIMSKY FitoN A CHILD.
- On Thursdey of last week, a girl about
thirteen Years of' age, the daughter of one of
self most respectable owns people, was sent
out with some money in bills' to make sundry
purchases, in the market among other places.
On her way she mopped to change the bine,
and arriving at -the market, she went to the
bitek of idle bunding te count the proceeds. -
Wallet so -occupied afellow of forbidding as.
peet approached her from behind, threw a
handkerchief over 'her Vend, and compelled
her by means of threets to hand him over
the .trioney. . By his language and acttons he
so terrifiettlie.poorgirl, as to obtain a -com-
plete-mastery over her. The robbery effected,
he ordered her to .go direct to -the railway sta
tient over The cemmon, and buy a half ticket
for Torento, for which he gave her the
.inoneyf and to nuke sure that she did so, he
dogged. her footsteps all the way. Among
the people on the olatforMehe saw her undo,.
but the infinence exerted' by the villain who
kept plose at her heels ail So great that she
dared not approach him; but bought it ticket
th---e and. took nee place in the ears. Tbe Wee/
- followed her cm board, -and kept her in view
until the train yeah) motion, ,when he jumped
off. *At Berlin a woman came en board, wp:i

ing.from her the particulars of the outrage
of which she had been made the victim, pro-
cured lodgings for her in Toronto, and on the
following day assisted her in- finding her
cousin, who lives in the city, and by when)
she was subsequently -returned to .her parents.
The girl minutely describes the man, and
states that he hasn mit across the nose; and
that he has no Middle finger on his lot hand..
A shoemaker on the tramp, with all these pe-
culiarities, had been seen about the town ,tor.
some days previously: and was known- to hare

Friday, before these facts came out. Efforts
near the door prisoner told -him' "to go as ay

prisoner then went ter the gait; when he
returned to the door, seeing. deceased on the
road, he said, "You're alerigh, as you are
on the road ;" he then put the gun back be-
hind the bar, and dared the deceased to come
into his house; deceased then came to the
door -step, and prisoner -again got the gun,
telling deceased te go away or he would shoot
