But there is no ;MXI muting for the vagaries of a hone '. Wednesilay evening of last week little Marcus H.-aid. a 3-yenr-old ton of Mr. and Mr. W". H. Heard, was misxed from his hme in the village about 7 o'clock, and search of the surrounding* and neigh boring premises failed to reveal his wheroabouti. Darkness came on and he h.i.l not been found. The news soon d"- over the town that the child was lost and search parties with lanterns were or- ganized, and for over two houra went hither aud thither in search of the little fellow. One party found themselves. about 10 o'clock p.m., at the east end of the late George Stewart's farm, adjoining the village, aud at this point thought they heard a child's voice calling in the bush further on. A long and careful tramp over difficult ground brought them to the top of a hill on Mr. Loucks' property, near a d.iai which he has in the bush to preserve water in dry seasons, and here, standing by a heap of logs and brush. they found the lost baby, who laughed with joy when they came up to him, and whose voice they had heard plaintively calling " Mamma ! ' The little fellow Siiid he h i.l been chasing sheep and pick- ing " fowers, ' and that he had hail a lee]'. lie was i|uickly taken home and pUcvd in his distracted mother's arms. The liaby was absent about four hours and dunti'.: 'liar t : me hail wandered i several fields and through the rough hush prolmbly a quarter of a mile. Uecomitu wearied he had lain down and slept, but the odd had awakened him and in calling [or his mother one of the search parties providentially heard hi* voice through the still niuht air. It is believed thtt hud the baby not been found when he was a truie.ly would have had to be an- nounced, as the night proved bitterly cold and wet and by morning he would scarcely have been able to make a noise. Few persons ever pass the point where he was found and bis disappearance might have remained a mystery for many years.
