A Lost Deaf-Mute Boy.-The Goodson-Gazette says that "a deaf-mute boy about thirteen years old appeared at Goshen, Rockbridge county, Virginia, on the second of June. He is totally uneducated and is unable to give any account of himself. It is likely that he belongs somewhere on the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. If our exchanges, and the newspapers of the State generally, will copy this notice it may be the means of restoring this poor boy to his parents. Unless news of him be got ten to his people in this way they can never hear of him."
