Heavy Loss Mysterious Disappearance OF
#-#E Money. '~ 'F

We learn with regret that Charles W. Miron,
ESQ, Of Chowan county, North Carolina. has had
the misfortune 70 have $4,000 stolen from him.
The facts OF the case are these, so far as We have
been able TO ascertain
Some two weeks ago, Mr.. Mixor, who is large
planter, and has an extensive fishery on the Albc-
marie Sound went TO Elizab, th City and drew from
the Bank Of the State some $4,000, which he took
with him home and deposited in his secretary, y
which no one has access except himself and wife.
When the cashier gave Mr.. N. the money, as there
we're several hundred dollars on his own bank, he
made private mark upon them, rcmarkng TO Mr..
M, do this TO zee how long b ore they will come
back. Eight or ten days after bis return he went
TO the secretary, took the package, in which the
moncy was deposited, and started with II IN his
pocket 20 Edenton, eight miles from his residence,
70 meet debts which he promised TO pay on thst
day. When he arrived at Edenton the package
was missing.
He remarked to friend, " have lost my money.
Go with me- must have lost Il few miles from
town, where bad occasion 10 stop" When they
arrived At the place, the wrapper and twne which
contained the money was found, but no trace OF
the money. Footprints were discovered near.
which on examination, corresponded with thosc
