WILLIAM L. ENGLAND.

We have painful duty to perfom in an
nouncing the mysterious disappearance Of
the gentleman whose name heads this article
Mr.. England left Van Buren, in company with
his son, for the Ohio river, to have built n
Steam Ferry Boat tor this place, about the
10Th March last, and proceeded to Stubcnsvile
Ohio, where boat was put under contract !;
and both father and son remaining to super
intend its construction.
On the 9th of May, Mr., England, left his
son, w. Il. England, and started to Salem,
Ohio, town some eighty miles nom Stubens-
vile, Tor the purpose of examining at that
place = new patent Shnglc Machine, that his
attention had been called to.
After being absent, so long a time his son
become anxious, hearing nothing from his
father, commenced to make inquiry and
Smiths Ferry to Rochestera small town some
l2 miles distance. There he learnt of his
father being in company with gentleman,
who said he took the ears to 90 to Salem.
No signs or trace could be found of him
from that time to this although thorough and
extensive enquiries and search has been made
II is generally believed, that he must have
been murdered and his body made away
with to avoid detection; for If he had died
or was accidentally killed, papers about his
person would have led 10 his identification.
Mr.. England, was Il kind and indulgent
father, liberal and enterprsing citizen, and
his death will be sadly felt by our whole COM
