DESHEA, BLACKSMITH, RAILROADS. Mysterious Disappearance. On Tuesday morning, the 5th of Mr. David Lake, who has resided in this place for several months past, left the Guilford House, where he boarded, to pro'enre a horse to ride whilst getting up some cattle he had been buying. He promised Mr.

Bender to return within an hour, or as soon as a horse could possibly be secured. After leaving town, Mr. Lake was. last seen near the house of S. S.

about a mile north tf Guilford, going in the direction of Buffalo. As to. make his appearance as agreed upon, it occasioned fear that something 'serious had befallen him, 3'et it was earnestly hoped that he would still return all rights Two or three days passed, howeverand he was not heard from. His numerous friends and acquaintances then repaired to the place he was last noticed, (as above stated) and commenced a close search of the surrounding countrv for miles. The search was continued for several days by men on foot and on horseback, but no information was gained or discovery marie that would account for his strange disappearance.

It is known that he had considerable money with him, but the exact amount is not known. He was a man of excellent habits, steady and industrious, and was greatly respected bv all who knew him. His are is supposed to have been about thirty years. He had on a light summer suit when he left, and his trunk and various 'Other articles are at the hotel in this place.

Morse We learn from the Independence Pioneer that, at a saw-mill near that place, a few days ago, an accident occurred, which resulted in the death of iJ pel Ballard. They had rolled a very large log on the carriage, and found that it was too large to saw without cutting off a portion of the top.

Mr. Ballard had been chopping the log, and was shifting his position in order to split off a chip, when his foot slipped and he fell, his head striking the front of the saw. His head was cut nearly half in two his brains torn out his left cheek was cut' off and fell in the dust be. low. The third finger on his le'ft hand was sawed off, yet his hand was not scratched in any other place, lie lived but a few minutes after the saw first struck him." He leaves a wife and four children.

A Rouseville, Pennsylvania, correspondent of the Pittsburg Commercial says: "Johnny Steele," the farmer boy, oil prince, millionare, but now teamster, is one of the celebrities of this town. As a self-made man he is as striking an example as can be found anywhere. Five or six years ago it was estimated he he was worth between $2,000,000 and but to-day he is reduced to the necessity of earning a living by hauling coal along the streets of Rouseville, and is doubtless a greater blessing to the community than in the days of his prosperity. His case furnishes, as apt an illustration of the truth of the old adage, that "riches take unto themselves wings," as can be desired; but, unfortunately, whisky and fast life furnished the wings. It is a marked fact that the majority of the old residents, who became of a sudden' immensely wealthy, are to-day sunk in poverty almost as deeply as before the- woke up and discovered that they were the possessors of vast wealth.
