TILE ADVENTURES OP A MASCULINE GIRL.
—We yesterday mentioned the arrest of a young
girl in boy's clothes, at a boarding house on
Front street, the afternoon previous, upon sus%
pinion of her being connected with a gang of
thieves. She was in company with a young man
apparently about a couple of years older, and the
pair were yesterday morning taken before the
Police Judge, who remanded them for further
examination until to-day. From a letter found
in possession of the girl, it was ascertained that
their names are Joseph and Jane Anderson, and
that their parents reside in Buffalo. She was
dressed in light cloth coat, silk vest, black pan
taloons,boota,a black silk neckerchief tied around
her beck, and a natty Tittle cap sat jauntily upon
her head, the hair, a chestnut brown, with a
molt interesting wave, being ant moderately
short. She is rather tall for a feminine, extreme
ly well formed, and became her disguise remark
ably well, the make up being that of a handsome
boy. After sho was consigned to her cage in the
female department of the watch. house, we visit
ed her, and althbugh she was at first sulky and
Melton', we managed by a few well timed own
pliments, which her woman's nature could not
resist, to unseal her tongue, when we gleaned
the following:
She was born in Rochester, N Y., but remov
ed afterwards with her family to Buffalo. The
young man found in her company is her half'
brother, his mother having died, when the father
married again, and Jane was the fruit of the
second nuptials. As she grew up, home became
disagreeable, and being, moreover, of the roving
disposition she, with the connivance of her
brother, st the age of 15 years donned the mas
culine apparel, and together they started to seek
their fortune. Since then she has traveled
throughout the Eastern States, and the British
Provinces, with her brother always for a compaot
ion. The greater part of the time she was em
'ployed as cabin boy upon one or another off the
Lake Steamboats, but as the winter has elbeed
that source of employment, about a week ago the
singular pair turned their faces to the Southkrest
with the intention of trying the quality of our
river steamers. Shortly after they arrived, they
were spotted by the Police and arrested, after
being in the city only a couple of days upon sus
picion of belonging to a band of burglars and
thieves, known to be organised in the city.
Jane was innocent of the true cause of the art
rest, and hence iv under the impression that she
has been taken into custody in consequence of il
legally appropriating to herself the unmention ,
ablem.
"I've been wearing boy's clothes ever since I
was fifteen, and now I'm eighteen year* of age,"
said she, "and nobody ever found me out bet
fore "
"And bow did they happen to suspect yonr'
we asked.
"Well, I happose it is because they have some
mighty !Rise men here. They must have either
very sharp eyes or keel' acmes."
"I►o you prefer a boy's dress to that of,a girl?"
"Of aurae I do, or I' shouldn't choose it. I
**a get through the world better io it."
"The probability is, that they'll compel you
o dress like one of your sex."
"Well," said she, t.if they do, they will have
.o buy them for me, and at any rate they need
not get me hoops, for I shouldn't know bow to
wear 'em," and deeming that she bad given us
quite aufheient information,. she stretched her.
