GEORGE DID NOT co HOME.
A Church-HiII Boy Missing for Ten
Days.

Tuesday, April 9TH, George II. James,
the 13-year-old son of Mr.. r. W. James,
who resides at No. COG north Twenty
seventh street, left Bellevue School, and
no one who knows him has seen him
since.
Mr. lanes. the father is a wretched
man. and has hunted the city over Tor
the vavward boy, but no trace OF MIN
has been found.
On that Tuesday morning he left home,
&c usual in time to reach the school be-
fora the he'll rang. Late that evening
Mr. lanes received a note from Mr.. Nor
rissett. principal of the school, statlng
that the child must not come 10 schooi
again until he received PERMISSION from
him as he wished TO consult the city Su-
nerintendent Of Schools about the chiid's
conduct before he could resume his
studies.
From this note Mr.. James learned that
his hoy had been guilty OF some miscon-
duct. the nature of which he does not
know. and beyond this nothing more has
been heard. The hour when George usu-
allv returned from school came. but no
lung nunE: he did not come that night.
and alarm and CONSERVATION filled the
bouse Since that time Mr.. James has
searched diligently for his boy in Rich
mond and Manchester. but his efforts
have heen in vain. He has also employed
a detective in Richmond, and the police
OF Manchester have been asked TO hold
C:eoree II he IS seen in that city. The
fru,tIessness OF the search has disheart-
ened the father, until he Is wretchef.
He saws his son was high-spirited boy,
and had true sense OF honor for one
of his age. and thinks when he found
ont he would probably be expelled he was
ashamed TO come home. Mr.. James IS
sure II was from no fear Of severe punish
nent from his parents. as he had not
whlnped him for three years. This fact
,eads him to conclude that he Is still
lurking about Richmond or vicinity.
Georges mother is In very delicate
hsaIth and the husband said last night
hat she was almost crazed and distracted
With grief. She thinks continually Of her
how and fears every day that he is dead
or thai some harm has come to him. that
sha will see her darling no more.
when the young self-exile gets home

inc him. Joy will FIJI that home. and
no, one word Of rebuke wiz be said.
