Noah w. Shantz, son of Mr. Daniel Shantz, who lives about one mile east of this place, returned from Michigan about three months ago to recuperate his health, having suffered a slight psralys- is which incapacitated him from work- ing at his trade. His progress towards recovery appeared to be rather tardy, although he had placed himself under the skillful treatment of Dr. Clemens of Berlin. Nothing of an unusual char- acter was observed by his sister with whom he was staying until last Friday. On Saturday a. m. quite early he drove to Berlin to procure medicine and ad- vice from the Dr. After arriving home he appeared rather melancholy and complained of great depression in the head. At tea time he refused to par- take of any nourishment saying he would walk out and around a short time. He left the house a short dis, tance and returned and again started towards the swamp, lying to the south west. It was then about 7 p. m. Not having returned, next morning the fam- ily and a few relatives made a hasty search about the premises without suc- cess. On Monday morning the village and neighborhood were notified and at 2 p. m. between M) and 50 men and boys assembled and organized a, search, ing party under the leadership of Thos. Redford. After a diligent search through the bush which was somewhat _ tardy caused by fallen trees, about 4 p. l m. he was discovered by Benj. Bemis, jr. lying a short distance in the swamp where he is supposed to have lain since Saturday evening exposed to the heat and rain. As a consequence he was very much exhausted. They at once conveyed him home and called Dr. Clemens,' who was soon at his bedside and rendered all the assistance at his command, although he holds out slight hopes of recovery. We hope for the best results. A yaung man named James Lyle, son of the Rev.
