DEAR EDITOR—My brother Israel Carr, deaf and dumb, went off from this place with a man by the name of Northcraft, a jail contractor, at the time of the exodus to Kansas. Northcraft claimed to live in San Marcos and wanted Israel to stay at his house, do the marketing, etc. I have since written to Northcraft without any reply. Israel had lost the hair well off his temple. Any one having any knowledge of him will confer a lasting obligation by notifying the undersigned, his brother, at this place. JOHN HAWKINS GIBSON, Local Preacher, Anderson, Grimes county, Texas.
