 We mention the following melancholy occurrence with the hope that It may elicit some information which will relieve the dis- dressing anxiety and suspense ofa deeply af- ficted family. Last Sunday evening, (eSd Oct. about half past 6 o'clock, Mrs Harriet Talcou. daughter of Andrew kingsbury Esq, lrft her fathers house in this city, in stafs Of mental derangement. and has not been dis- covered since. The most drIigent and thor Ough search was made in this vicinity by our citizens on Sunday night and yesterday, hut without success, and it is feared that she has either resOrted to some of the ncighbOring streams, or wandered into the adjacent coun- try, and perhaps sunk under the exhaustion of nature. She left her dwelling. in a black dress, and cap, without bonnet or shawl.
