INFANT FOUND IN A COAL BOX.
BY T'iiIjEGBAI'H—PHEBS ASSOCIATION. WANGANUI, August 17. About 6 o'clock, this evening, an infant, apparently about three months old, was found in a coal box at the rear of an unoccupied house in Campbell street. A man working in his garden heard cries about 3 o'clock but did not take any notice, thinking it was a neighbour's child. As the cries continued, however, he made an investigation, with *he result that he found the child, and took it to his wife, who is acting the good Samaritan. The child is dressed in a long white gown, and is well wrapped in flannels, and a white shawl. It is healthy looking and wp'l nourished. The house where the child was found is near St. John's Railway Station, and the police think that the infant may have been de'posited by some one who came by train.
