PORTSMOUTH, Y. H., Nov 2l.-The resi-
dents Of North Kttcry arc very much e1-
cited over the strange disappearance OF Ho-
land Norton, the lG years Old son of Samu-
ell Norton, who lived within g sh ort distance
of the York line. Young Norton disap-
peared Sunday, August -, and since then
no trace of his whereabouts has been
learned, and what is more peculiar, no eff
fort has been made on tie qurt OF his father
to learn of his abiding place.
This strange paternai indifference, taken
in connection with the fact that the father
was in the habit of cruelty abusing the boy,
has bsen foul play.

views with several near noiqhbor5 ELECTED
the follow ing facts: On the Saturday pre-
vious to young Nortons disappearance, his
father was seen 10 strike him over the head
with an OK goad three times, each blow be
ing severe enough to make the boy fall to
the ground where lie was left by the in.
human parent. The boy, however, man
aged afterwards to rise and 20 to the barn,
from which he was seen to come out later
in the day and 90 to the house. Since that
time his whereabouts remain Il mystery.
Samuel Norton father OF the missing boy,
was seen. He talked freely about his son :
going away, out appeared 10 be nerNou;
and ill at ease Whom asked if lie haI made
any efforts TIC ascertain the whereabouts OF
the boy, he said he mad not, ns ii did not
concern him. he said he thought that the
boy had gone to Chicago to see lis mother
but admitted that tie lad had no money to
take him there. According 10 the farmer s
statement, when the boy went away lie left
his best clothes, wearing his common work
ing clothes.
Norton until about five years ago lived in
Chicago There he quGrTsioG with his wife,
cane East anu took up MS abode ut the old
homestead. His son came about a year
later, and his coming was the commence
ment Of ill-treatmeut by his father, who
made the boy do al sorts of drudgery and
caused him to work Sundays well week
days. Norton is reported a. being a very
violent man when in the heat OF passion and
is held in fear by his neighbors.
So far no action has been taken toward
an investigation by the selectmen of the
town, but prominent towpsmau stated to-
day that unless some move was made on
their part the county attorney would be APP
peaed to to clear up the matter.

the direct contact, of which some pretty

Second, there is the indirect mortality on

A, Boston business continues large col
lectious good and money easy. In general
the situation is unchanged, excepting that
the wool IS more quiet hut the mills are
very actively employed, and the situation
in cotton goods highly encouraging with
advanced prices. The shoe trade is in good
shape, with bright prospects, and lumber
rendered active 10y the open season for
buildings la the great industries little
change is seen, all the textile works being
remarkably well employed, and the cotton
mills especially pressed with orders.
While prices for some grades Of goods nre
advancing shipments of boots and shoes
from the East continue 10 largely exceed
those of last year. October exports OF
