peared last Wednesday morning. Mr.. May
nard. who is q cousin OF Judge Isaac H.
Maynard Of the Court Of Appeals. Is 81 years
old and quito feeble. He Is very deaf also.
which may have something to do with his con-
tInued absence from home. Until this sum-
mer he was employed at Buttsrick's. at Four
teenth street and Broadway. but no had grown
too infirm to continue with the firm.
He left home on "Wednesday to take his GUS
tomary morning stroll, No one has been found
who saw him after this. One explanation Of
this fact may be- that the old eentleman's
figure. bowed by age. was not very familiar to
the neighbors. the Maynard family having
moved to their present home only last spring.
