The Missing Woman Mt Rochester.
THE gEARCU Ann THE RESULT.


From the Rochester Advertiser, Dec l..
Since our last issue there have been two meetings
at the Court House for the purpose Of hearing the
reports Of the parties Who went in search Of me
day, some four hundred persons turned out and
searched the country from Hudson street to the
lake-leaviDg UNEMPLOYED swamp of considerable
extent for another occasion. The search was very
not more than twenty feet distant from each other
Nothing was discovered going in the least to afford
clue TO the fate Of tue missing party. That meet
ing adjourned to the same place on Thursday even
On the following day wagons wers provided, and
large party started to complete the survey Of the
swamp mentioned, provided With the necessary
irons 20 examine the pools and water courses, and
such other sections Of the country about the bay,
as time would permit. The result 'of this second
effort was as unfruitful q the FIRST one-nothin0
having been brought to light anordipg the least
trace TO the object sought. saM
found In different places, but none Of them had any
resemblance TO the garments worn by the missing
woman, and were generally regarded - articles

In short, nothing was discovered which vent to
show that murder or IN abduction had been com.

With respect TO the screams heard on the night
Of Mis- Aoore's diAppearance, We think they may
may b accounted for moro nationally than TO sup
pose that Miss n, II forced away BY persons for
foul o. deadly purpose, would have boen permitted
the power or privilege Of utterin0 Screams along
public road for distance Of six or seven miles.
This Ia not probable, but the reverse.
We are informed, aud believe The statement, that

often, "a they wend their way homeward, were the
parties from which these proceeded the night In
question. and that the wagon ives theis, a. Il IL In
one of like description they visit the city.
This, We repeat, Is the more rational view Of the
case, ard may serve to divert attention from this
Circumstance and direction, to others which may
produce something more TO the purposs-ths solr-
ton o. the mystery which has 20 deeply moved the
pubic mind II Miss Moore was murdered, - seems
