MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.

Early on the morning of Sunday, the 27th ult.,
a Gentleman who had arrived and slept the preceding night
at Mr. Stewart's Inn, at Archinachrocan, about a mile from
Loch Kathrine, of up early on Monday morning, and left
the house, remarking as he went out, that as the morning
was fine, he would go and take a view of the surrounding
scenery. There is every .reason to dread that in passing
along the sides of the lake, the heat of the morning had in.
duced him to bathe, and that from causes which cannot now be
ascertained, lie perished in the undertaking. Having failed to
make his appearance at the inn during the day, the landlord
became alarmed for his safety, and sent a person to Auchray, a
short distance from the house, to make inquiries regarding him.
The messenger bein_g_unsuccessful, the landlord dispatched ano.
tiler to the house of Mr. Stewart, fanner at better, at some miles
distance, in the hope that he had proceeded to that quarter. This
person arrived at Letter the same night but could get no in-
telligence of the stranger. On MondaY morning however,
the man proeeeded homewards by the Loch, when lie, discovered
the gentleman's clothes and shoes at a few paces distance from
the_ water. Along with the clothes was a gold watch, and In
one of the pockets were 8 small notes of the Greenock Bank, and
a spy glass. There was nothing that could lead to a knowledge
of the individual, except that his linens were marked' J.
and that the watch appeared to have been lately repaired in
Glasgow, but by whom we have not been able to ascertain..
Titre is, however, from this circumstance, and the notes being
of the Greenock bank, some cause to suspect that the unfortu-
nate gentleman belonged either to Glasgow or Greenock. No
accounts of the body being discovered reached town when our
paper was put topress.—rEdinburgli Observer, July 2.)
