Placed on top of the clothing was a beautiful girl baby, supposed to be about ten or twelve days old< The trunk had been very carefully placed in a position to shield the young babe from the cool morning air with the lid partly closed. By the side of the child was a note addressed to the lady mentioned above and containing thir ty dollars in money, with an earnest request to take good care of the child, that its parents were wealthy and that more money would be sent in due time, that she nor the child should never want for anything. There was no name signed to the note with the exception of two iuitials. We are informed the old lady at onco embraced the child lovingly in her arms with the remark that she would not take a thousand dollars for it.
