From The Frederick Citizen, March II
MlSTERIOII DISApPEARANCF

Our city has been the scene Of considerable ex.
cltement for two or three days past owing TO the
disappearance, under singularly mysterious circum-
stances, Of the Rev John l.. Pitts. II appears that
Mr.. r. left his home foot an unusually early hour
on Monday morning last, without having given his
family any intimation TO where he was going or
when he intended to relurn and considering the in
clemency of the weather (snow was falling fast at
the timc,) without having made any preparation for
journey When last seen he was walking very
fast in the direction of the Georgetown bridge about
one and half mi es from the city
On Wednesday morning last, at the recommends,
ton OF the Mayor, the country was secured for miles
around the town by large bodies Of our citizens in
connexion with the members Of the Odd Fellows,
Lodge, TO which he was attached and as an opinion
prevailed pretty generally that he must have been
laboring under paroxysm Of mental arrangement
at the time Of his departure, and that he might pro
badly have precipitated himself into the Nlonococy
the river was dragged for miles but up 10 the pre-
sent writing no clue whatever has been discovered
at all tending to elucidate the mystery.
MIR. 7. was universally beloved and esteemed nv
our citizens, and we do not recollect ever HAVING
witnessed so general and sincere an exhibition Of
sympathy for the fate Of any individual as has been
evinced in this instance. We still indulge the hone
that he will yet be found in life and restored TO nj.
bereaved family and the society Of which he was an
ornament

NEW WAY DF GETTING UP COURAGE

AT the hospital on Saturday, a tumor was cut from
the neck OF a young woman by DR. Warren DIR
Buchanan, the neurologist, arrived al the hospital
Ito witness the operatonj about ten minutes before
It commenced He found the woman depressed
fearful, and sick at stomach. Thinking that She
might be Of the irpressbL class he directed one of
the gentlemen present TO place his hand upon some
of the organs of her head which have inyiporating
effects when excited As she seemed 10 be relieved
by this operation, the doctor then attempted birnsof
to excite the organs Of hrmncss, hardhood seIf.cs
teen, and payfulness, IN which he succeeded 40 we'll
that she burst ino fit Of laughter at the doctors
declared that she knew as much as any Of bem Thai
they couldn't hurt her. and she did not fear tie one
ration at all Her laughter did not cease until Inc
doctor placed his hands upon the back part of her
head TO restrain IT, Then continuing 10 excite her
hardhood and selfesteem he made her impatient 10
have the operation performed. She rose from her
char and insisted on rushing directly to the ampbi
theatre 10 have II finished. As soon as she VA.
mtted so 60, she went forward, poutcd to the ro-
lessor, and acted so singularly as to induce some
who did not know what had happened, TO suppose
her under the influence of opium. The operation.
which required an ncison in the neck of about three
inches IN length, was skillully performed by Dr.
Warren, and borne by the patient with much steadi-
ness Being then taken TO her bed she seemed to
have forgotten the whole scene and could not re-
collect where or how the Operation had been per-
formed upon her.-Bosfon Post

The Pennsylvania having denied the truth
Of the statements which we copied some DAYS
since from the Spirit of the Times, it will be
seen that the latter paper repeats the charges.
The public must decide between them
THE PENNSYLVANIA AND MADIsoNIAN.
The "40O circulation print, +" annoyed to death
by the general republication Of article exposing
its true character and the character of its controllers
and wire workers, calls the whole story " sheer
fabrication, and assures the Madisonian that in
Philadelphia, where the propretors Of the PennsyI-
vania and the persons originating these falsehoods
are known, no refutaton is necessary"
Now, assure the Madsonian that the stories are
literally true and that in Philadelphia where the
Pennsylvanisn, (thank Heavenly rs known. no one
thinks Of dlspuiing them, much less OF doubling the
veracity of those who repeat them. The Madiso
man has word for this, and very little inquiry
in this meridian will satisfy IT, that the character Of
the Times is quite an unimpeachable that of the
Pennsylvanisn while its circulation, land Of course
its insuence,) is considerably over heenfyto one.
