elders within period OF five years, and that no

all delinquent churches OF their duty In this

The Mysterious Disappearance
Of George Lawrence.

The readers of the CdledOnidn will
remember letter published some
months ago, announcing the unac-
cOuntable disappearance of Geo. Law
renee of TurlOck, California. All that
is known of this affair that has come to
the public, is briefly told. The last of
February Mr.. Lawrence made.arrange-
ments to leave his home for brief
visit East, where he has relatives-his
aged mother living in this town with
Mr.. Hiram Russell, n brOther-in-law.
He remained four days in Sacramento,
taking the train there March LIST, with
two or three other men whom he met
ut the hotel, but none of them known
either to the hotel keeper or the hack
driver who took them to the depot.
This is the last his friends can learn of
him, although his ticket was used
through to Boston.
Mr.. Lawrence went from this place
to California in 1853. He was about

engaged in farming and other outdoor
pursuits; was strictly temperate; a
man of great physical strength and en-
durance cOOl-headed and cautious
and the last man to get into trouble
and bad man for one to impose upon
Some four years ago he buried his wife
since which time his daughter, now Il
years old, has lived mostly with al
uncle and aunt, near TurlOck. He LEFT
some five or six thousand dollars il
ready money, 400 acres of wheat, 1:
horses, and other property. Although
five months have elapsed since he tool
the train for the east, no intelligence
whatever has been obtained of hi
whereabouts, and the impression ii
growing that he was murdered for the
money which he had on his person
which was merely enough to pay hi
expenses while East and his fare back
