Severa] weeks ago there arrived in tliis city, from Port Saruia, au old gentleman, who had traveled all over this state in pursuit of his son, a boy some ninteen years of age, who, he heard through a party in Jackson, was residing here.

The policemen took Constable Loomis into their secret and the three, after workiDg diligently for a number of days, and when they supposed they could put their hands on the missing one, were doomed to disappointment. The boy had an inkling that the old man wanted to see hini, and inysteriously left the city. The offlcers said nothing, but kept up a heap of thinking. Their disappointment was only temporat? however; the lad, supposing the old gentleman had given up the chase, returned to the city last week.
