IssING.-Mr Peter Mckenzie, forms
erly of Milwaukee, but lately living at
Manitowoc, left home a few weeks since
in a fit OF mental alteration bordering on
insanity, and has been seen or heard from
but once or twice since. BE was engaged
in the boiler making business at Manitowoc
with partner The business from some
cause threatened to prove disastrous, and
cost him all the hard earned savings of a
lifetime. This SO preyed upon his mind
as to cause his wife to doubt his peri ect
sanity for short time before his departs
ure, yet nothing occurred to justify : re-
sort to personal restraint. He came to
Milwaukee three of four weeks ago, and
was seen by several former acquaintances.
Ore evening about three weeks ago, q
citizen of Manitowoc met Mckenzie at
Goodrich steamboat dock in this city, and
understood he intended returning home
by the boat which was then nearly ready
to start. This acquaintance subsequently,
searched for him on the vessel and ascer-
tained that be was not aboard. 1t is
feared by his distressed family and friends
that he may have taken his own life BY
drowning. Any information concerning
him would be thankfully received.-Ml
