MYSTERIOUS DGsAPPEARANcE.-Mr.
Thomas Sarvls, who was formerly engag-
ed as a lourneyman-prin'er in Omaha and
Bellevue, but who has resided in Column
bus, Platte County, since last fall, left this
City a few weeks since Oh his way home.
He has not been heard from by his friends
and 1t is feared that some accident has be-.
fallen him. Mr.. S. is personally known
to us as an 2stimabie person, and we
hope these fears may not be confirmed.
The following IS an extract from q pri-
ate letter written TO Us 10y q friend at Co.
lumbus:
81 write 10 you TO inquire whether YOU
know anything about Mr.. Sarvis. He
started on last Thursday a week ago, be-
fore the election, from the house of the
Fox brothers, between Fremont and Fon-
%teneIle, on Maple creek, saying he intend.
Ell to 90 to Columbus direct That is the
last that has been heard of hi u. Raw
hide creek was very high at that time,
and he had TO wade 1t on the route he
was taking. We arc afraid he was
drowned. In case you should not have
any information in regard to him, will you
please call upon HIM through your paper.
asking him to let his friends in Columbus
hear from him. 1t is the only way we
can arrive at any certainty of his fate"
Omaha Republican.
Mr.. Sarvis loft this city, Wednesday
morning, July 2S, for ColImbus,-intend-
ing to SO by the way of Fonlenelle. He
was a candidate for Representative to the
Legislature, IN the Platte Valley District,
and was untiring in his efforts to secure
an election, and as he was last heard
from, on Thursday, four days previous to
the election, it seems more than probable
thai he has met with an untimely end.
He was a native of Ohio,-CleveIand,
we believe,-where his parents now re-
side. He was not far from % years of
age, but his size and manly appearance,
gave him Il much older look. He came
to this Territory "A year ago last spring,
and has worked in this office, at various
times, since. He made a claim, last fall.
within half a mile of Columbus, where
he has resided since that time, with the
exception of few months, during the lat
ter part of last winter, and the following
spring, when he was employed in this
office, and had become much interested in
i
the future growth and prosperity of the
Platte Valley. He possessed consider
able ability, aud together with his indom.
liable perseverance, and answering in.
tegrity, he would undoubtedly have made
his mark, in the affairs of the future
State of Nebraska, and won for himself
the respect and esteem of his fellow men.
We hope measures will be taken to as.
certain, if possible, his fate. Any in.
relative 10 him, will be thank.

GET Your DEEDS RrcoRDrD.--We
have found many persons in this City, as
well as in Sarpy County, who have Deeds
IN their possession, for property, that have
never been recorded. Every such per-
son ought to know hat a deed is worth
less until II Is put upon the proper rec
ords Of the County, 1t is not the holding
Of the Deed, but the fact of its e|xistance
upon record, that gives it validity. BY
neglecting this duty, many have lost much
valuable properly /; and we should not be
surprised if this is the case already, in
our W County. All Warranty, Quit
Claim, as well as Bonds end Releases
should be Immediately recorded. Those
who have heretofore been negligent on
this matter, for their own safety, ought TO
have the Records searched, to see if any
one is in advance of them, and if not
have their Deeds filed for record, forth
