An affecting incident occurred at Lynn, on Saturday. A little girl about two years of age, a child of Mr Ingalls, wandered away from its parents in the afternoon, and on the most diligent search could not be found during the evening. On Sunday morning the search was renewed by many people in vain. An intelligent dog belonging to the family, understanding that something was wanting, set off in pursuit. In a short time he returned, and endeavored by significant signs to induce some one to follow him, but human sagacity in this instance, as in many before, was inferior to canine. Again he went away, and again returned, and by repeated whinings and fawnings was at length successful in making himself understood. A person followed him and found the little sufferer in a swamp where she was standing up to her arms in mud and water.
