      MISSING GIRL HAS RETURNED.

      The disappearance of the sixteen- year-old daughter of Mr. Thos. Clayfield, an esteemed resident of Conestogo, on Wednesday night of last week, caused quite a stir in that village. The girl had left a note on the table signed by "A Wretched Daughter," stating that she had gone to a distant swamp to take her life. The parents called on the villagers for assistance in searching for the missing girl, which was continued up to Friday, when she was located at Bridgeport and returned home late on Friday night.
