ABDUCTION OF A BOY TWENTY-FIVE YEARY AGO, To the Editor of The Chicago Tyioune: Erk Gnove, 1L, Jan. £,—It appears that the oxcitemont regarding tho abduction of Cuaillt Ttosa still provails, and that the” aifair as yot re. maive & mystory. Tho svme practico was car tied on twenty-tive yoars ago, as tha following wili show: Intho month of October, 1810, I lafidod iz New York, with my family, from Eugland, or my way to Chicago, whore my fathor and the rost of his faumly had arrivod about cighteen yours befors mo. We atayed twodays {n New York, at tho Eagle Tlotel ; sud, while mysel? and somo frionds were viewing tho city, one of my Ittle boys was stolen, while standing on the siops ot tho froot of the tavorn. A man went up to Lim, took him by the band, and told him his fathor had sent him to fotol Lim, and that he was waitiog at tho bottom of the street. Il led tho boy to that point, and then sald, * Your fathor is chend of us, and wa must walk fastor, or we shall not eatel up with bim.” Thus be led the boy from street to streot, untll bo perceivod ho was in teurs, and, ta sootha Lim, he bought bim a clittle oandy, and afters wards took lim into s low room, something like a collar-kitchen, whera ho talked with two men and & woman, remaining thers for somo time. liad beon away about throe Lours from the tav- eru, ud on my return was told that Charlie had not boen seen for somo time: that thoy Liad mude a regular search for biwm, but conld not find him, and bad coma to tho conclusion that I must have veturned and takon him with mo into tho city. Finding how mattersstood, I mustered quite a littla force, and wa went in evory dltection, Bat without success. I then made up wy mind to go and have some bandbills priutod, aud pub- Jithy the slfair in the daily papors; but, jut ab that time, we percoived two men who came over tho 9ea with us, bringing him along with thewm. Thoy Liad been stayiug with eomo friends in the suburbs of the oity, and wero coming to bid us good-bye. While crossing the strost sbout 2 miles from thoe tavern, thay espied tha fsllow leading little Charlie along by the hand, They 1an across the street, and one of themn took tho fellow by the arm aud asked him what lie was doing with that boy. Ho rvoplied that be way trying to flud his folks. As soou a8 the boy recognized tho yonng men, he pulled from hus captor, and tha fcllow ewid, ** Woll, if ou aro his folks, sake him.” 'The wan turned o coruer of the street and left. On question- {ng tha boy, thoy found how he hiad baou enticed anay, and thoy ararted after the fellow to hava him arrested, but be had disappenred down gome alloy or passsgoe, where they could not find him. From tho doscription I had given of the man, 1o was low of atsture, and about the age of 23 or 80 years. What his motive was I am at a loss to know, but sm_persuaded 1 should have lad some trouble had not my two friouds accident- ally, or | may 4ay Xrovldonthll:, found the Loy whieh coming to bid us farewell.
