GJ.MYsTERIous DIsAPPEARANcE.-M
Mahlon o. Baum, of New. Haven, Huron
County, three miles north of this place,
left bis home on or about the 9Th of Feb
ruary last, to attend to some business in
Norwaik and Cleveland. From Cleve.
land he went 10 Macedonia, twelve miles
distant from Cleveland, on the Pittsburgh
and Cleveland railroad, to visi, On uncle.
He afterwards left Macedonia and return
ed 10 Cleveland, where he stated 10 his
friends his intention to start for home,
and since which time he has not been
heard Of. No cause can be assigned for
his sudden Disappearance, as he was a
man of good reputation, and was doing a
prosperous business, and it is feared by his
friends that he has met with foul play, as
he had some money on his person when
he left home. He leaves a wife and child
and many warm friends, who are anxious
10 get some clue 10 his whereabouts. 49,
He is twenty six years of age, about five
feet aine inches high, heavy set, rather
dark complexion, had heavy black whis-
kers, wore black frock coat and barred
pants when he left home.
The Cleveland papers and the press in
this vicinity will much oblige distressed
family by calling attention the above.

The supply of water yesterday was estima.

the rate at which the sand is discharging itself
promises soon to leave the work in Il 6t state
for prosecution to final completion. The in.
terest Of the public continues increasing. and
visitors are constantly at the grounds, all of
whom concur in expressions of qualification at
the result which has rewarded such a long
course of labor and disappnin,ments. Many
experiments and approximative analyses have
been tried with the water, but in the present
state of expectation we have nothing definite.

a stream can be obtained free from sand, ii

the sources whence it is supplied, if geological
indications can be construed as furnishing any
clue.-Ibid of Wednesday.

EFFECT OF FEAR-Boachet, French au
thor, of the sixteenth century. states that the
physicians Montpelier, which was the great
school Of mediciae, had every year tw" crimi'
oals, the one living the other dead, delivered
to them for dissection. He relates that on one
occasion they tried what effect the mere en-
rectation Of death would produce upon sub
ject in perfect health, and in order to theseex-
pertinent they told the gentlemen (Ior such
was his rank) who was placed at the discretion
that MS the easiest mode cftaking away his
life, they would employ the means which Sc.
naca had chosen iosLimself,a"d would there
fore opcnhis veins in warm water. According.
]y they covered his face. pnched his feet with
out Iancing them. and set them in iootbath,
and then spoke to each other as if they saw
blood was flowing freely, and and life depart
ing with it. Then the man remained moiionless;
and when, after while, they uncovered his face
they found him dead.

The BANK OF THE SrArE.-One of the
best measures adopted by thu Legislature
at this session, is the comforting upon the
President of the Bank veto upon the de-
cisions o,he Board of Directors. 1t undoubt
edly imposes a heavy responsibility upon that
officer; but he is almost the only one of the
board who is generally we'll known to the
Legislator, and it is not too much therefore
to look to him as the head and front of its ad
ministration. The Legislature could not either
have better time for making this change;
as we believe it is admitted on I'LL hands that
Mr. Furman has proved himself not Oh. y one
Of the most successful but one of the most
prudent and safe Presidents, that has ever drec
ted the affairs of this institution.
