BROUGHT TO THIS CITY.-The young
man, William Nicholson, who so mys-
teriously disappeared on Thursday
from Manassas, was found by a party
of searchers the next evening in a large
body of pines about four miles from
Manassas. When the searchers first
saw him he showed an inclination to
run, but was persuaded to stop. He
then drew q pistol and threatened to
kill himself, pointing it at his head,
but was pacifed and prevailed on to
go back to Manassas. He became
quiet and peaceable, but showed I'M
mistakable signs ofinsanity. Towards
night, however, he was more rational,
and conversed freely about his strange
escapade. He was brought to this city
by his father (Mr. Henry B. Nicholson)
Friday night to receive treatment and
rest. Drs. Ashby and O'Brien, who
are attending him, say that his trouble
is caused by nervous excitement, and
an injury to his spine from slipping on
the ice last winter, while working
about his engine. He was not a con-
vert at the Scheduled meetings, as has
been reported, but had of his own
volition brooded on religious subjects
lately. The physicians think he will
