son of Grace Methodist Episcopal church
Brooklyn. left his residence on the 18th
inst. to visit a friend living mile away.
After staying n short time with the gen
tleman whom he called to see, he left the
house suddenly and since that time he has
not been seen by any member Of his fami-
ly. He came to New York and sent Il tel
egram to his wife asking her not To let his
absence occasion her any uneaSineSs as he
was about to attend the Methodist cCnten-
NAL conference which was to be held in
Baltimore on the following Friday. From
the receipt Of the telegram all trace of him
has been lost He was not present at the
conference and as he was expected to have
delivered an address there his absence
was noted with surprise. The fact being
made known to HIS friends they at once
set about to discover his whereabouts. but
all efforts iii this direction have failed.
Pinkcrton'S agents in Baltimore were en-
plOycd ON the case. but with equally fruit
less results.

THERE are two very impor.
tant things that the City Council
should attend to at their next reg
ular meeting, viz: The repairing Of
the City Hall, and the purchasing
of new hose for the steam engine.
Unless work on the former is short
ly commenced, the building will
soon be discarded for public use.
In its present condition it is an eve
sore, and is very justly considered
as being dangerous and risky for
any number of people to enter at
one and the same time. The hose
are really necessary, and. without
them the steam engine is perfectly
worthless. Let the subject be con-
sidered, and given the proper at
tention before it is too late.
