the affiic;ion of our highly respected friend and
neighbor, Doctor George ii. Perry and his family.

Col. Joseph Spcer, Col. T. b. Segar, Rev. G. B.
Perry, Henry NJ. Wells and Charles Noyes, Esqs
and other respectable residents ofthis town. present
The following statement to the public, with the spec
ial view that it may meet the eye of WILLIAM r.
PERRY, son of the atorenamed Doct. George ii. Per
~, of Hopkinton Washington county, r. |.
Said William r. Perry, for wholly un-
known to his parents and friends left his fathers
house, March 25;h, 1884 in company with lad
years older than himself 1t was supposed that
they intended a voyage to His father made
every esertion to ascertain his movements and re-
gain him to his home until his strength and health
sunk under his fatigue and sorrow.-About one
year from the time young Perry left home, the lad
Uohnson) wrote to his parents, by which we learn,
that they intended il voyage at sea, but on passing
the sound at New York, extreme and bitter sea-
sickness led them 10 abandon the project. They
bent their way west and found employment at Cau-
tusk contiguous to Cattsk. Here young Perry
lost his left thumb by q saw. The lads parted at
Albany, in May, 1884 Perry went to Eastown,
Washington Co. N. Y, and got employ with Mr..
Hall, and left in September for Albany, where, he
said if he did not find business to suit him. he
should return to Mr.. HaIl's-This is the last intel
ligence we have had of him, though the most un-
wearied pains have been takeu to ascertain his res
idence
Perry was fifteen years old when he left home,
of fine manly ppearance-open and candid man
ners; pleasant, industrious, prudent and peaceabe;
much beloved oy all who knew him. His parents
and friends know of no cause thus 10 induce him
to abandon his home where he a fayorlte child
and to the bosom of which, he would be most cheer
fully welcomed.
Itis urged upon the young man, as he regards
the sorrows Of him who is his father, and of her
who watched over his cradle hours, and This broth
or, sisters, friends and neighbors, who feel more
than can be expressed on paper, that he would re-
move all this sollcude and grief by returning to his
home. If young Perry should chance to read this
paragraph, let him remember the sad wound his
absence keeps bleeding freshly and deeply, and
am persuaded he will write, if nothing more, to those
in whose behalf this article is given Ito the public.
But if the young man be numbered with the dead,
and any one by the informa alton herein given, shall
be able to communicate the sad intelligence, We
pray them to do so. They may address the SUBJ
scrber, at this place.
Young Perry belongs to one of our most worthy
families, and is near kinsman of the lamened
Commodore Perry. His father has wish to
coerce him back, but wishes to know where he is,
and how he is.
u}|Editors of our country requested to give
this many insertions as their sympathies and
generosity may dictate.
