A Little Girl Lost in the Woods Three Nights and Two Days.—On the evening of the 30th of June, a little daughter of Mr John L. Hahn, aged eight years, who resides at Hickory Hill, in this county suddenly disappeared. It was at first supposed that she had gone into the woods to pick berries; but upon a reasonable time elapsing, and not making her appearance, the family became alarmed, and search was instituted. When found, she had wandered in the woods for three nights and two days, and was twelve miles from home.

She seems to have become completely bewildered, and, when found, had some blackberries still remaining in her pocket. She says that during one night, while lost, there was an awful thunder storm, and that two dogs-hounds- came to her in the woods and slept with her. keeping her warm until daylight, when they departed. She tells also of having seen an animal, which, from her description, must have been a wolf. She was found by Mr West Hackney, although it appears she was seen during the time by several other persons, who were under the impression that she belonged to some of the neighboring farm houses,-Jefferson (Mo.)
