MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. - A
young gentleman by the name of John
C.. Thomiz, whose parents reside in Bal
timore, disappeared last Saturday morn
ing, at $50, at the railroad depot here,
since when nothing has been heard of
him. Mr.. Thomiz came to our city
about two weeks ago and was clerk
in the office of the railroad company at
the bridge under Mr.. Porter. A brother
of the missing young man is in our city,
stopping at the Swami House, who will
thankfully receive any information as
to his whereabouts. We hope that
every effort will be made to obtain some
clue to this mystery, and that the heart
of the aged father and mother will again
be made glad by the return of their son
to themselves and home and friends,

A VEIN oE Coal SEVENTEEN FEET
THICK.-We were informed by relia-
BILE gentleman of this place, few days
ago, that when the oil we'll at the
mouth of Elk creek was being bored,
vein of bituminous coal seventeen feet
in thickness was encountered by the
operators at depth of five hundred and
ten feet. The extent of this vein is not
known, of course, but it is fair to pre-
sumo that it extends under the greater
part of the ground upon which our town
now stands. 1t is certainly an immense
deposit, and to future generations will
prove of great value.-Clarksbarg Telc-
graph.
On Thursday night, nth of February

ued until Saturday evening following,
when it was forcibly killed. 1t was q
large one.-Mcorefeld Advertiser. .
