Disturbances OF COL Morz. After most dill
gent ana constant search, which has now lasted IL
days the remains of esteemed fellow citizen, COL
Andrew Motz, have not yet been found. Our ctl-
zens generally, all having the physical strength to
he of service, have engaged in this search AS Odd
Fellows Sons of Temperance, land citizens,
all have exerted themselves to the utmost. The wa
ter in the miII-pond has been drawn off, every foot Of
the bottom OF the stream for miles below, has been
closely examined and, yesterday, search was made
in the pond above his factory where he could not be-,
unless his body was thrown in at one place and his
hal and cloak at another.
This distressing event is shrouded in mystery
which may never be unravelled and the only conso-
lation left his family and numerous friends is to be
found in submission to the will of All-wise Pro-
violence.
His Lady, whose sufferngs none can know, is
supported by the presence of her aged parents
who have share her troubles, and, IT posi-
Bile, tighten her affiiction.
Where all have exer,ed themselves to the utmost,
it would appear invdous distinguish any but
the efforts made by Messrs. Trplett. Alternately, An
thony, Reinhardt, Moore Shuford the Ramsours, the
Jettons, Roseman. Cansers, and others, TO recover
the body of their lost friend, have been almost super
