LOST IN THE WOODS

The fifteen months old boy of Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Dain, of St. Lawrence, had an experience last week which caused his parents much uneasiness, and kept a large number of people out all night. He went with his mother blackberrying on Thursday last, about a mile west of Ogdensburg. At about two o’clock, he disappeared, having wandered into the brush. His mother searched for him for some time, and then gave the alarm, and practically everybody in Ogdensburg went out to look for him. His footprints were found in a road, but they terminated near some woods. The crowd covered the ground very carefully all night long, and about seven o’clock on Friday morning, L. Bruley found the little fellow, sleeping in a hollow stump, in which he had crawled, and was apparently unable to get out. Though he was cold and hungry, he was none the worse for his adventure.

Mr. and Mrs. Dain wish the Post to express their appreciation of the work done by their neighbors and friends.
