The notice of this surprise te.the aged couple will be read with feelings. of gratitude by hosts of friends who were notpermitted to parti cipate in it.

Child-stealing, was unknown to the criminal calendar in the lav4 of this State at the time of . this occurrence ;.no penalties had been attach ed to it,\no recognition bad of •a crime very common and as ancient as any other in the. list ooffences against the law. The CHARLEY (M t \ itOd the remarkable noto riety it has , mined; transcends that of any 1 1 . similar offs co in Modern times, and . was the occasion of a statute to provide against the repetition of such a crime. ' The interest 'avvakened in this affair traversed-the continent in,td found its way acresiettie water; it was discus4d in eve ry household, printed-in ever newspaper and canvassed in every centr e"of police in telligence in the new -world—the entire constabulary of the civilized• globe would seem to have .taken. cog nizance of it in . some form. Thirzy-two States, Indian Terrisory, Nova Scoti. Canada, .Cuba, Scotland and. Creinaan4 have furnished fields for investgation and inducements, for a fruitless se a rch for the lost child; Almost every • county in the Common= wealth his /Laded its quota to the list and the distribution amongst the States of mir- taken similarities to the missing child is like the list of electors in the electoral college—duly proportioned tO the popula- tion of each.l Over three bun red of these ii were set deiwn two years ago and the list is said to half° nearly doubted since that time. - At length Bradford County has been brought into inquisition to give tid ings Of this imperishable and interesting my stery. . Aside from the vast notoriety it has gaineA, and the deep sympathy the abduc tion of : CHARLEY Ifoss excited, therm is a dramaticcertain interest attaching to some phrases of this affair, that gives it color hi the common eye and blends n pe culiar fascination with the still unsettled 'mysterytha , attaches to the fate o 1 the { lost child. The act itself was one ' that came home to every household and' tatt led the domestic circle with monstrous novelty iri the.foim of thiipeculiar crime : I n following the public exec went that-grew upon this cireumstaace ca 11, the interest elreited by the search, an at last the sud den death of the abdactors flagrante de" lido, leaving the fate of tln't child still uu revealed. No efforts of the officers of the law -no 'temptation to reward has Wen sufficient t:it.unravel this mystery-.it still continues at intervals to be revived itipub lie notice, its interest through the lapse of years not altogether' lost. , As, peradventure, the story of the ab duction of Citant.Er.
