MAN AND BOAT MISSING.

The People of West StratfOrd Excited
Over LewelIyn Davis Mysterious Dis
appearance-Was He Drowned in the
HOusatOn1c2
From the little town of West Stratford
comes the story of the singular disappearance
of one of the most respected citizens OF the
town, Lewellyn Davis, man OF good habits
and irreproaehab1e character. He has not
been seen since Monday night when he took
the oars of his little skiff from his house, and
told his mother as he went out the door that
he was going out rowing for a little while.
He left behind him besides his mother, his
wife and child. The night passed and he did
not return. His family were much alarmed.
Tuesday searching parties were sent out.
Charles Cock, bF6thef=ifi=lsw of the miss
ing man; searched the shores of the haFB6f
from Berkshire to P6iRt=H6=e Point, but found
no trace either Of the boat
OF its occupant. Yesterday Mr. Cock
and IL. g. Davis of Seymour were in Bridge
port, trying to fiHd some trace Of the man:
Descriptions of him have been sent Out,
Meanwhile the members OF his family are al
most distracted No eaHse is assigned for
his absence. Everything pertaining to his
home was pleasant, He left all business
matters as if he was only going away for
brief hour Nearly all his money was Left at
home, and at the most he had only two or
three dollars with him. A revolver which
he always carried with him to shoot at
mark, was also left behind. The only thing
of value he had with him was his gold watch.
In fact theIe was every indication
of his speedy return. The night was
pleasant, and the waters were not
not rough. If he had been upset, or
run down, the skiff would have fioated ashore
and it is singular it cannot be
found The boat was about sixteen feet
long, painted green, with red gunwale.
The missing man was about thirty years of
age, medium size, light built, light NOUS
tache, and weighed about 1876 pounds. There
was large scar on the top of his head, the
mark of a scalp wound, also scar ON the
back of his neck nearly under his right ear.
He was known as a quiet and respectable
man, and it is feared he has either become
deranged and wandered aimlesly away, or
else that he has been drowned.
Davis moved from Seymour to West STRAIT
ford last April, purchased house and was
employed at Wheeler & Wilson's.

any naturalist in the country. She has
written several interesting articles on the
fora of Connecticut. She was also very
much interested in wonan's work and had
been connected with several societies for the
advancement of the sex. She had held a.
number of offices in these ergsniza-
ti6ns, and was member of the
National Liberal league, and also of
the WonIafis Temperance Association.
Being an excellent French, German and Ita1-
Ian scholar, she has made many tfafs1sti6Hs
from tli6ss languages, among which Yves
Bls#dtii's Political Economy; from French
into English, used As a text book in colleges,
taieF's Eiieyetepedia Of Political Economy
from English into French and number Of
other books.
She was very successful teacher but IN
later years devoted her time to literary pHFi
suits,

Much of the distress and sickness attribu-
ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea and other
causes is occasioned by humor in the stom-

istics of these complaints, have been cured
ed by this medicine are SO wonderful that the
simple statement of them affords the best
proof that it combines rare curative agents
and when once used secures the confidence
