LOST AND FOUND.
The neighborhocd of Greenbrier, in
Penn township, was thrown into great
excitement last week, over the disappear-
ance ofa deaf and dumb girl, name
Funk, aged about 16 years, and who is
thought to be of unsound mind.
The parents had refused to “cofuply
with some unreasonable requests of the
girl which put her into an ill temper,
No suspicion however was had that she
was absent until a letter was found on
the table, written by the girl, raying that
if they wanted to find her the mountains
would have to be searched. The girl, of
course, was massing. The neighborhood
was aroused and the greatest exoitement
prevailed. Bands of men were made up
and search was made through the monn-
tains as far as Poe valley and no girl was
found: the excitement grew in inten-
sity, and the opinion prevailed that the
girl had committed suicide, The agony
lasted over Friday, Friday night, aod on
to Saturday afternoon, when it was re-
solved to let off the milldam thinking
she might have drowned herself, This
move, however, was cut short by the
pews that the missing Miss was discov-
ered on the havmow at Jac, Kerns which
proved correct and all the Greeubriari
ans felt relieved and returned to their
homes ta talk the episode over,
