A WAIF.

On Thursday last a little girl was brought to Rensselaer from Iroquois township, Newton county, as a poor person in need of support, whose legal settlement was supposed to be ini Marion township, in this county. Pur Trusfte would not receive her. She had been an inmate of the Catholic Orphan 2ksylum near town a few months, and they refused to take her back. The girl talked incoherently, and gave but little information concerning her home or friends. She says her brother and sister live near St. Louis, but does not know their address. She was taken back and will be cared for by Mr. Hess until her friends can be heard from.
