A Touching Incident.—A little boy, three years old, wandered into the woods in the upper part of Pittston, on the 4th inst. Search for him was fruitless until the afternoon of the next day, when he was found on a rock, nearly exhausted, badly scratched, and bearing the marks of having encountered swarms of flies and mosquitoes, probably when asleep. The little sufferer was so hoarse as scarcely to articulate, no doubt from crying and calling for his parents. Some person in search for him was attracted to the place where he was found by a strange sound, which proved to be the faint and hoarse cries of "papa," which the child was uttering. He was out one night and part of two days, and during a hard thunder-storm. The parents reside in this township, the mother having been at the time at Pittston, on a visit, with her little son.—Wilkesbarre Advocate.
