A little girl about 8 years of age was taken to the police station about noon today by some persons who found her cyring on the street. Her name she gave as Jessie SKUSE and she came from England over a year ago with a number of immigrant children. She was taken up by William VANWART who lives near Hampstead (Queens Co.) and up to Thursday lived at his farm happy and contented. This morn., the little girl says, Mr. and Mrs. Vanwart, brought her to the city by the steamer and took her directly to the office of Samuel Gardner, the immigration agent and, putting her box inside the door, they left her there. Mr. Gardner told her to run after them and she did so, but she missed them and lost her way. Mr. Gardner, when asked about the mater, said that he was in his office when the door opened; the man and woman left the little girl and box of clothes inside the door and ran away. Mr. Gardner has now taken charge of the child and says he will have no problem getting her a home. She is a remarkedly bright child for her years.
