KIDNAPPING. Mtartless Abduction of a Child. * unwi or Irm* mki».

No one, l the children end the men,|waa near at time. For several days previous these in two men had approached the boys different ways, and having, daring e conversations, given them candies, . i, do., the little ones expected them •fore they arrived on the day mentioned ve, and ao readily oonaented to get > the carriage. After having driven r aome distance the oldeat one of the I little ones was asked to get oat of the ■Triage and bay a few packages of Are- gesture. Roy like, he most willingly aomplied. No aooner bad he disappeared la the atom than the two men lashed the i and made away with the little four- fid, whose name I* " onanux naawsTxn moss, I who has never ainoe been seen by je who knew him. ha father, after searching everywhere .ho neighborhood, came to the police joe, where upon hie arrival your eorres- hdent learned the above. The police, iar the direction of Captain Heins, I the moat Scrntiniaing anarch every. They eoutioned their operations Coeasiogly day and night, and were de- jamlaad taJaate ao atana ontmaed that paid restore the lost one and paaish its braecnlors. All in vain. They labored > purpose for three daya and three lights. There was no clew. After this be following advertisement appeared in ill toe newspapers : orlh SIXTH Street, A B.u»u nun, lour •raeld, baring innr,-early,* >«enhair, haiel avei. clear, light skin and ream] faoe ; drened liabrownlinen aolv withJkort iklrt, broad brimmed straw hat and laced Ihoei. The child waa lest from aermantown on Wednesday afr temaen ( at tuat.), i between roar and flva o'clock. This advertisement, too, mat with no response, and on Monday, July 6th, an- other .was inserted in tbe Puhlid Ledger. The next morning, in the “personal ool- cmii" of this tame journal, appeared the following: JJO S—WK BB BBtDT TO NKQOT11TB. On the ra-ne day the father, Mr. Boas, reoeired an anonymous latter through the poatoffloe, in which it was stated that . little Charlie would be returned for $20,- J 000. It also went on to any that the boy (vn io good hands; that the treatment S ven him was careful; that it had cost e parties a great deal of money to get (him, and that they oould not think of re- orniog him for leas than $20,000. The father returned the following on. wer through the Ledger personate: ,0*8 WILL COMB TO TERMS TO THE IX- , tact of bla ability. t i Another anonymous letter at onoe was . reooived by Mr. Boas, stating that the .< parties who held the child would not part ¥ with it for a smaller tan than the one M already named. Nbw, mark how r '' fathers love riees supreme above every thing! - lie had not in bis possession tha amount necessary to regain his dear one ; ■ngwbnt he answered the villiaaa through the Od. penonaU thus: m "OSiilS WILLI! doing my Lest to raise It. £ Thus Hie matter stands. Detectives have watched the Ledger building end the r toffine day and night; bat bo carefully t’li- Uidnappera work that no olue Wit itevcii Menu to 'ham been obtained to llluir identity'or thbtf whereabouts. The child has now been absent twelve days, and it is doubtful wbetber, during this time, any of the members of the bonae- to whioh it belonged have had an tour of unbroken rest. tsa omouMSTAHOBa or thb oibb somewhat remarkable throngbont. 'or five daye previous to duly 1st—the upon whioh the ohild was stolen— m same men were seen around the lighborboud, and each day approsohed two ohildren and convarsad with i. It ia presumed that they wonld >ve made off Wrth the yooogeat, little lharlie Boas, several days before the 1st t., bat at each time there obanoed to e aome one passing along the lane. Dnr. g n oonvoraation with the father I asked iiu wbetber be bad any enemies, who iwed him a grudge, and who wonld be ' ely to take revenge in anoh n rare way. ho father replied that be wae unaware that there was uny one in the world who entertained any bitterness against him. * The name of the father ia Mr. Christian 'WK.

The konse waa onfortnuats ,. during the paoie, and hence Mr. Bose * unable to pay at onoe the anm demanded K by the blackmailers. It is hoped that he will not be obliged to do ao, bat that will be the kiduappors who will be obliged to pay tha penalty worthy of their inhu manity. TBS UITTEmB or THB BLACKuaiLkns. |K Hr. M.—Siuoe writing the above yonr JjU, correspondent has gained a more direct Ifc' id-a of the natare of tbo letters whioh the kiioappears have sent to the disconsolate fST father. More fiendish, cruel or inhuman i epistles hnman h ind never penned. One of them reads similar to this: “Ws know yon are not worth muoh money, bat we are aware that you have iiob frienpt of whom you can borrow. If yon love money better than your child J its blood be on yonr own head/' Another letter reads to this effeot: “Any attempt to asoertain the child’s hiding plaoe will result in its entire anni hilation. We will 'tarn the ohild up’ on ijt oar own terms " •rafi Meaning that in oase the money is not 3 fortheoming they will kill the infant. -** No one aan read the letters without M feeling hie blood boil. Four letters in all llfi have been reoaived, and saoh of them ia 4 cool and cruel. *' “We know oar business,” esys one of the letters, “and we are going to fight it out." Mm. Fabtixotom'b Mistake —“My dear, where is my ‘Morning and Evening Devotion 7" naked Mr. Paul Partington, . meaning n small book with that title, in which he sometimes read.” “Here it is,” said Mrs. Tartington, pio finoing from the closet a dark bottle, and setting it on tha table with a clean glass. “Hare it Is, Paul.” Ha looked intently into her faee to sea If meltee were aotnating her; bat he found all there oalmly serene. He would > not destroy the pleasure of her satisfac tion in having thus obligad him, so he re-. .y trained from explanation, and partook.
