We learn from the S,co Democrat that the
friends of Miss Maria l.. Patterson, an ac-
count Of whose mysterious disappearance was
published last week, received q letter from the
Chief of Police on Saturday last, the sub
stance Of which is that he hal received letter
from q gentleman in Abingdon, Mass, who
says that laIy answering the description Of
the advertisement was on the early train from
Newport on the morning Of the arrival OF the
steamer-,hat she sat on the seat in front Of
him with another lsly-that she complained
Of being sick, AMI before the cars arrived in
Boston he heari her remark that she feared
the train would be too late to connect with the
one going east. The train WAS nearly an hour
late that morning. This would seem TO corr
roborate the description given by the woman
ut the OH Colony Depot, that she must have
arrived In BJston. The press OF the country
