The following Satur- day Skinner returned home aione, and stat- ed that while he and Key were out on the water in a boat, Key was accidentally knocked overboard by the sudden swinging of the sail and drowned. This story was fully believed until Skinner began to tell conflicting storiss in reference to the drowning, when the attention of the state’s attorney was called to the case and he caused Skinner's arrest, pending an inves- Ugation by the grand jury.

B. Harriss, residing near Bell's Mill, about six miles from this place, was aroused from sleep by. two men, who were in a buggy, and who in- formed him that there was on his doorstep a package, which had been sent to him b; a friend in Rockville. Mr. Harriss open the door, and, upon examination of the bas- ket, found, much to his surprise, that it contained a robust boy baby, perhaps three weeks old. The little fellow was well pro- vided for, having a bottle of milk, one of paregoric, and a bountiful supply of clot! ing of fine quality, indicating that he w: of good parentage. As soon as Mr Harriss took up the basket the men drove off at a rapid rate, and in a few min- utes Mr. Harriss had mounted his horse and galloped after them for three miles in the direction of Cabin John bridge. On the road he called to his assistance Mr. Frank Embrey, who joined him, and, after a long chase, the fleeing party were overtaken near the Conduit road. One of the men, finding they were caught, jumped from the buggy and took to the woods. The remain- ing occupant proved to be a well-known physician of Tenleytown. He refused to give the name of his companion or any, particulars concerning the child. He in« formed his pursucrs that if he had been armed he would not have been detained, regardless of consequences. It ts thought that his companion was a young man form- erly of the neighborhood where the child was left, but now of Tenleytown, and that he acted as guide to the doctor, who had been employed by its parents to find a home for the child. Mr. Harriss and wife have concluded to keep the child, at least for the preSent, as they have no children of their own. The little fellow has since had many visitors in his new home. ——._—_ FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE. The many friends here of Mrs. C. E.
