A Baby found in a baggage room.

--The baggage master of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad found in the baggage room at Crestline, on Thursday last, a female child, apparently about six days old, dressed in pink frock and with a quarter shawl around it, the face being left exposed, doubtless, with a view to prevent its being thrown aside as a bundle, or perhaps to make it more readily noticed. When found life was nearly extinct in the little waif from cold and want of sustenance, perhaps; but careful nursing soon restored its natural vitality. The child was adopted by a family in Crestline, and a number of the railroad men intend raising a fund for its maintenance. It is supposed to have been purposely left by a passenger on either the Southern or Western train on Wednesday night.
