Infinitely more attention has been directed to poor Harris, who is still missing, and whose fate is involved in the greatest mystery. On Tuesday, the 11th. instant, information was brought into town that he had left his house at about 7 the previous evening, and had not returned as usual. Inquiry was at once made by the Police, when it was ascertained that he had been seen near Langham's, on his way to town, at about 8 p.m., the same evening that he had left his house; and a second time on the North East side of Marsland Hill, walking in the direction of Robert's house. It was then about 9 p.m., and dark; and the man, Hellier, who saw him, did not know that he was out of his mind, until the day following. Everything has been done by the Police, settlers, and natives, to find him; and the search terminated last Tuesday evening. Yours very faithfully (Signed) H. Halse. P.S. Mrs. Harris is not expected to leave her bed. The only wonder is that she is still alive. All quiet here. (Signed) H.H. To:- D. McLean Esq.,
