THE MISSING MAN.
[Peb Pbess Association.] GEETMOUTH, Mabch 20. The body of Eobert Kettle, a well-to-do master baker, was found drowned at Sawyer’s Creek this afternoon. He had been missed since last Tuesday night, when he went into the bakehouse. His sons and friends had been searching for him since without finding a trace. It appears that for some little time before the fatal act he experienced a feeling of mental irritation or nervous depression. He was not worried by pecuniary or domestic causes. He must have walked from his house to the creek, his footprints ou the bank and soft ground being still visible. He was a staunch teetotaller, and had been for 15 years.
