Lan ON inc WilLell HOONTAINs. --Considerable
excitmand needed is Bann ea Tuesday lest, cm its be-
coming known that two men—William Joan, smith, Menai
View-Massa, Upper Edgar and Owes Jesse, millwright,
Jean-street, who were in the employ of Mr. Jobs Owen,
leadry, Hinel—had bees le ethos- Moday, the 9th inst.,
aid ad the least tidings odd be obtained respeothig them.
Mr. Owen espied to fit sp certain scenes at Owa lithium
slate quarry, sot far from the Throb station is the Vale
of Llanroret, and about two widths ago be seat his nos, Mr.
Willie= Own, sad the two uses is question to do the work.
On Saturday, the 7th instant, they
_came to Bangor over a
stupendous wing of Osniedd Lowden sad through
Hotbeds, as that le • very short ant. Os Monday, the 9th,
the three started back again by the sense route, the day
being very enemy and very wet eves In the lowlands,
to bey nothing of a bleak high mountain, where the wind
pored to be terrible, and • deep wow covered the pound.
They appear to have got same refreshment at Hotbeds,
after which they set out on their perilous }canny, and
walked pretty much togetbee until they came toile. " pro"
of the hill. From dos point Mr. Owns walked on is ad-
vane, leaving the two men together following after bin:.
As he mossided the mountain the wind inccessid in vio-
lent. : and so stormy wit, that In one place he had to
fail doves and clutch the heather to save himself from
thine blows away. He then became seriously alarmed for
his life, but be struggled 00, sad eventually succeeded in
roach* Oda Bird at half-peat five o'clock in
the evening, very nearly exhausted. After waiting for the
MSS for some time, he concluded that they had returned to
Hotheads when they found the diMeulty of prodding on so
very great, This idea seems to have fastened itself spot the
young man's mind, ad It was only on Wednesday night
(Wednesday being a fins day), when the Toro did not come,
that he began to have snide doubts as to their fate. On
Monday he wroth to Bangor to bold» about them, bat of
course nothing was known of them. On Tuesday and Wed-
nesday last Mr. Oda, senior, and • party of men went in
search of them, and oa Wednesday night it wee reported in
Bangor that the dead bodies had hien found on the top of
the manna% ; bat this report turned out to be erroneous,
sad from what we can learn It seems probable that some
days may dope before they can be found, supposing they
aro dead. The snow is very deep and covers the mountain ;
and is one place there Is • precipice 200 yards in depth, at
the bottom of which lies a deep pool. We are sorry to say
that Owea Jones has a wife and seven small children, whilst
