liam McClelland, Jr., son of Wm. McClelland,
ST., who resides III Delaware, suddenly disap-
peared from Ekton on Monday week, abandon
ing his store and family and has not been seen
or heard from since. lie left a letter in the
family bible, bidding goodbye to his friends,
and stating the reason of his sudden departure,
which the Wing says was on account Of failure
in business and the detection of numerous for
gerieA upon his fathers credit which he knew to
be inevitable. The senior McClelland held a
bill of sale of the goods remaining in the
store unsold, and disposed of them
for what they would bring a few days ago.
peculiaiity Of the decamping McClelland was
that he kept journal, in which he noted down
among current events, the parties names with
whom he had pecuniary transactions, and who
helped him over difficulties by shaving his notes
and other obligations. On these friends in time
of sore need it s stated, he reflects in his jour
nal with considerable aaperity
