A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.


A young woman giving her name as
Dora Llewellen, about nineteen years of
age, employed as a domestic in the family
of Horace Bachelor at South Sutton,
Mass, left the residence of Mr.. b. on Sun
day, August 3D., clad very scantily, without
shoes or bonnet, and had not been seen
since up to Saturday last She is supposed
to be slightly insane and her mysterious
absence has given rise to serious apprchcn-
sions.
A note from Rev Philip Berry of East
Douglas postoffice, Worcester, Mass, says
the name Dora Llewellen is probably
self Agnes Faith Fuller in Worcester. She
said she had an uncle living at Rutland,
Vermont, who was n farmer, with whom
she worked for some time. She also says
she has brother in Rutland who is living
with and caring for an aged grandmother.
Any information relative to this young
woman can be left with j. B. Kilburn,
Esq, postmaster at Rutland, or addressed
to Rev. Philip Berry, East Douglas,
Worcester county, Mass.
The Worcester South Compendium pub
lished at East Douglas, Mass, in its issue of
Saturday last, in speaking of her mys-
FERROUS disappearance, says she came to
serve as domestic in the family of Mrs.
Horace Bachelor in South Sutton, on
Thursday, July 3lst, and until Sunday
seemed very homesick-would weep like II
child, and seemed glad to call that her
home, and asked Mrs. Bachelor if she
would not be mother to her. She also
spoke frequently of suicide, asked the
direction to the nearest ponds and inquired
their depth; she also asked for rope in
order to make a swing, and said that she
knew her fathers and mothers spirits were
that they would welcome her as soon as
she felt life intolerable, and chose to de-
prive herself of it. Upon her first dis
appearance it was naturally supposed she
had drowned herself, but it was afterwards
learned that she had taken to the woods
and had asked on Monday morning for a
drink of water, four miles from her start
ing point, near Putnam hill
When she came to Mrs. Bachelors she
wore very neat black alpaca polonaise
and skirt trimmed with rufiles, a pretty
straw bonnet trimmed with black ribbon
and wreath of tea roses and buds she
also had on new pair of ladies' boots she
wore no gloves or collar Her attire was
tasteful and becoming, but when she left
she wore only an old calico wrapper and a
pair of stockings, without bonnet or shoes
When she was seen on Monday morning
she had no stockings on, and her feet were
terribly torn and CORY from her march
through the woods. During the day and
and night following she was heard moaning
in the woods, but Il dilligent search of three
days has failed to discover her whereabouts
Several circumstances lead us to think she
is dead her feet, which were sore and
tender before the terrible liberation they re-
ceived in the woods, would unfit her to
travel far after she once rested them the
general bodily reaction which would ensue
from sleeping these cold nights upon the
ground, her not having eaten for several
days before she left-in word, exposure,
exhaustion and reaction would soon wear
out her life.
She called herself Dora Llewellen; said
she had sister and guardian residing in
Boston, who formerly had lived with her
at Oxford, that till within year she had
lived in New York city, that she had
brother living at Rutland, VT, was fami-
liarly called "Dolly" by her family, and
that she was 10 years of age.
She was well-formed person, weighing
about 1850 or 100 pounds, of fair but freck-
led complexion, light hair cut short, bor-
dering on red. No earthly soul about here
knows one word of her history.
The article says the facts are that she
Is poor broken hearted girl of Scotch
descent, who has left her home for reasons
best known to herself and her God.
She is person of more than usual cul-
ture, reading much in Burns Poems, the
only book in her possession. She sang and
played well, and her whole demeanor was
