TWO CHILDREN LEFT IN THE WOODS 20 MILES FROM HOME. Two little sons of Mr. Joseph Frank, baker on Franklin street, started away from home on the 11 o'clock train on Saturday, for Union, without the knowledge of their parents. On their return trip the conductor mistook them for children belonging to Union, and put them out of the cars about a mile this side of that place. When the train reached Titusville, the baggage master informed Mr. Frank that his children had been put off by mistake, and he took the evening train to search for them. His efforts, however, proved unavailing until yesterday morning, when he discovered them in a baggage car, and brought them home last night. It appears that the little fellows, who are respectively six and eight years of age, when they found themselves in the woods, made up their minds to walk home. A farmer finding them crying bitterly, took them to his house and provided for them during the night, and placed them in the baggage car next morning. The anxiety of the father was much relieved at the discovery.
