SUDDEN AND UNACCOUNTARLE DISAP
PEARANCE OF A LITTLE OIRL.
TRUER DATS AND NIGHTS IN TIIE WOODS.
FOUND AT LAST.
In Lawrence County, about fourteen
milts from Lawrenceburg, the county
scat, and twenty-seven miles from Pulaski,
is a little village called Loretta, in the
vicinity of which is a settlement of Ger
mans, consisting of seventy-one families,
colonized there by Father J. H. Houser,
who is looked upon as the head of the
ceraniunity of colonists —a thrifty, indus
trious and prospering people. Last Sun
day, February 23, Henry Metcher, a mem
ber of the community, left his wife and
two children at home, and went to Loretta
to attend church. In the afternoon of
that day, his wife proceeded to dress their
two children, for the purpose of going out
for a walk, to meet their father ou his
return from the village. She had dressed
the eldest child—au interesting little girl,
four years of age—and permitted her to
go to the front door until she had finish
ed the toiUtte of the younger child. Before
she Lad completed that task, the husband,
having returned from Lorettta, came in
tud missing the eldest child, asked for
her. The mother remarked that she had
just been dressed to go out to meet him,
and was down in front ot the bouse, and
was much surprised to learn from her hus
band that be bad not seen her. Search
was immediately instituted, and the child
was nowhere to be eeen. The parents be
came alarmed. The father walked down
the road a considerable distance, and
meeting a mam with wagon and team,
learned from him that no child had been
•eea by him anywhere along the road.
Melcher then walked over to Loretta, a
distance of a mile and a half. The peo
ple were just emerging from church after
the afternoon service. He told his story
of the missing child, and almost the en
tire village turned out for the search.
They literally scoured the woods and coun
try for miles around ; subjecting ooves
and thickets to the most careful imspec
tion. |The child was nowhere to be found,
aor has she been found up to the time our
informant, Mr. Buddeke, of this place,
left that place. The agonized parent* re
fused to be comforted by their friends.
They abandoned their home, taking with
them their sole remaing child, an infant,
and were spending most ef their time in
fhe woods in the seemingly fruitless search
The mother, well-nigh distracted, said,
that even to know that her child was dead
and out of pain, or beyond the reach of
suffering, would be better than the terrible
suspense.
The missing child is named Annie
Helcher, four years old, light hair and
Mue eye*. Bhe had on a blue hood, a
shawl with whits stripes, a blue and red
linscy frock, white woolen stockings, and
little wooden shoes or pattens or clogs.
She cannot speuk English, but a little
German, and answers t* her name quite
readily.
This mysterious disappearance created
considerable excitement in that vicinity.
The only clue—and a very vague and un
certain one, it must be confessed—which
bad been suggested, when our informant
left, was, that one of the neighbors claims
to liave'seeu a man with black beard, on
horseback, that Sunday morning, ride rap
idly up the road to tire front of her house,
and, on seeing her, wheeled his horse aud
rode rapidly away, and has not since or
ever before been seen in that neighbor
hood.
Since tire above was in type, the follow
ing letter, just received by Mr. Buddeke,
was handed to us at a late hour last even
ing, from which it will be seen that the
missing child has at last been found :
Loretta, February 26, 1873.
Mctirt. Buddeke <£ Cos.:
Dear Sirs —If you have not yet publish
ed the notice of reward for recovery of the
lost child, do not do so, because we have
found the child, this evening, about nine
miles from home, in the woods, silting all
alone on the ground.
Yours, very truly,
Sandschcttk & Foppe.
The iitfle wanderer left her home Sun
day afternoou, and was ouly found on the
afternoon of Wednesday, flow site sub
sisted for nearly three- days, aud survived
the exposure of three whole nights in the
woods, is not explained in the letter above
given. It is as romantic a child's story as
the Babes in tlie Wood, and happily with
not so bad and tragical a rosult, and we
are truly glad to know that the robin red
breasts wore not called upon to play un
dertakers and furnish the traditional leafy
shroud to little Annie Melchcr.
Successful Swindle.
CHECK RAISING.
On Thursday morning last a stranger
entered the olliee of Messrs. Bevan &
Sous, marble dealers, on North Howard,
near Saratoga, and entered into negotia
tions for a monument, which, be said, he
designed having placed over the grave of
his wife. An expensive tombstone was
finally selected, for which the customer
agreed to pay $450. The man was dressed
in black, and wore a heavy crape band
around his shining beaver, the better to
enable him to practice successfully the
role of one mourning for a near and dear
relation, and thus disarm suspicion. It
is enough to say that he was successful.
He stated that he was the captain of a
-vessel from Norfolk, and as he was in the
act of leaving the store (promising to
return with an inscription for the stone)
turned aud remarked to Air. Bevan that
he had left one of his sailors quite ill at
Jessup’s Cut, on the Washington branch
railroad, with his brother-in-law, and de
sired to remit some money to him, but did
not like to risk sending bank notes in a
letter. Turning suddenly to Air. Bevan
he requested him to give his check in
exchange for twenty-five dollars, which
he laid on the desk. The request was
promptly complied with, the check being
on the Howard Bank and drawn to the
order of Edward Sutton.
The stranger then took his departure.
Some time after another man entered aud
asked Mr. Bevan if he had a blank check
on the Bank of Baltimore. He was an
swered in the negative, and Mr. Bevan
dedring to oblige him, profered a blank
check on the Howard Bank, tearing it
from his check book for that purpose,
which was accepted, and the stranger took
his departure. Several hours later, Mr.
Bevan, in looking over a paper noticed
an account of an unsuccessful attempt at
check raising made on the Third National
Bank on the previous day, and fearing
that all was not right, despatched a mes
senger to the bank to notify its officers of
the eheck be had given.
Before the messenger reached the bank,
however, the check had been presented and
cashed, after haviDg been raised from $25
to $790. It was presented by a stranger,
about six feet high, wearing a black mous
tache, well dressed, honest expression of
countenance, and being endorsed by Mr.
Bevan, was paid without hesitation. It
had been made payable to the order of
“T. Easton or bearer.” The alteration,
effected by cbeinicnls, was so skillfully
done, that a microscope failed to detect
any traces of the original writing. It is
supposed the_bank is the only BUfferer by
the swindled— Wash. Chron.
How to build a Character.
Clarke, in his Workday Christianity,
says, a man, building a character, must
break bond, as abiicklayer. His thoughts
purposes, and ■actions, must interlap and
interlock, cross over each other, aud be
sealed by brotherly love. He must build
in much for strength, and little fur show.
Comparatively few bricks go into the
street-side wall of a house. The materi
als that compose the rear walls, gables
and cross partitions must be as firmly
burnt and carefully laid in as the stencilled
rows that face the thoroughfares. So a
man must make himself strong, not mere
ly in a single trait or truth, but build bis
character through aud through by plumb
aud level. He must square himself up
heavenward, by well adjusted proportions
of reading, business, meditation, and relig
ion. His wovks must measure up, even
against his words. He must provide win
dows for illumination and doors for his
guests. Some men are built like jails.
They are blind walls aDd gloom all the
way up ; their eyes are crossbarred with
forbidden frowns. If there are emotions
within, they are prisoners. Not a solitary
tear can escape the Sentinels.

THE PHLNIIN WEEKLY.
IT is universally conceded that advertising is
a necessity to success in business; it is also
conceded, by the shrewdest business men, that
newspapers are the best medium for reaching
all parties whose trade is desired.
THE MONROE ADVERTISER
reaches more of the people trading with Ma
-con than any other journal published in the
country; it is, therefore, the beet medium of
communication with the planting Interests.
We will be happy at any time to furnish refer
ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere,
who will testify to the fact that they have re
ceived orders for goods from partie# who read
their cards in The Advertieer. In fact, many
who have availed themselves of its columns,
candidly say that its value exceeds that of all
other journals in which they are represented.
The Advertieer has the freshness of youth and
the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly
auecessful.
CHARACTER Of ADVKBTIBSMMHTS.
No advertisements are admitted which are
not believed to be above question and of real
value, and from parties so unquestionably re
liable that tbe readers of The Advertieer will be
