Governor Johnston has received a letter from a colored woman who is pursuing an industrious search for her old father. He is somewhere in Alabama and his daughter has not seen nor heard of him for over a score of years.

Katie Hubbard, the woman in question, writes that he left Jasper County in Mississippi in 1867. At that time his name was Berket Doncler, he having belonged to Mrs Susan Doncler before the war. He went to Mobile where he changed his name to Ben Berket. If any one knows of any such colored man it will relieve the anxiety of his daughter to get the information. Her address is Box 42, Laurel, Jones County, Miss.
