The Feather-ton correspondent of tin* New Zealand Times telegraphs as follows: —It is not often that we get much in the way of excitement licrc, but during tln> past week wo have been enlivened by the disappearance of 1 ;>•»«>-) Louis, a well-known storekeen; 1 !- of this town, who went to Wellington ostensibly to be married. Somehow suspicions were aroused, and then it was discovered that the stock in his shop was not so large as had been supposed. The matter was placed in the hands of t!ie Official Assignee, and it was then found that the cash-book li-td been interfered with, so thai it will be hard to know who was indebted to him. Usually when he went to town Mr Louis left two bags at the Bank of Australasia. These were supposed to contain watches and jewellery, for, besides being a draper, he carried on biisina-s as a watchmaker and jeweller. On these two hags being opened by the representative of the Official Assignee, lh-y were found to contain a lot of Brummagem jewellery not worth having. It is thought that the delinquent has gone to Sydney. A few locally have been bitten, but 1 understand the largest losses are in Wellington.
