| MTsTERIOUS.-Mr. II. G. Hubbell. cash.
ier of the Missisquoi bank at Sheldon, went
to New York on business some three or four
weeks ago, and as he did not return as soon
as expected, friend went to New York to
look for him. His friend telegraphed home
that Mr.. II. had gone fishing; and an
item stating this appeared in the st. Adams
daily. 1t seems this conveyed wrong i'm
preston, as later Number fully indicates:
The telegram in reference to Mr.. Hubbelrs
absence on which we based our paragraph
IN yesterdays paper, was in cypher, or con-
tanned hidden meaning. 1t had been pre-
vlOusly arranged that the phrase ''gOne
fishing" should signify that no trace could
| be found of Mr.. Hubbell. the phrase being
| used to prevent any unnecessary excite
ment that might arise from Mr.. Hubbelfs
connection with the MisSisquOi Bank. We
learn Its contents from a gentleman who
! read it as any one. not in the possession of
| the key to the cypher. would have DONE"
1t is now over three weeks since Mr.. Hub
bell went to New York. on business. and
| two weeks since he left his hotel there to re-
turn home, since which nothing has been
seen or heard of him. A messenger. Mr..
HapgOOd. sent from Sheldon to look for
him, has returned without discovering anv
| trace of him. Mr.. Hubbelrs friends are
justly fearful that he has been murdered
He Is reported to have had no more money
with him than sufficient for travelling eX-
penseS. He wore a valuable diamond pin
but left his gold watch at home. The Off
GERS of the bank have published the follow
ing card:
MIR. II. G.. Hubbell. cashier of the Mis-
slsquoi bank, left home on the lst inst. for
New York, intending to be absent ten or
twelve days. He left the International Ho-
tel. early on the morning of the 9th instant.
and went to the Chambers street depot. to
return home. since which time no trace can
be found of him. This eutire want of in
formation concerning him. eXcites the fear
and warrants the suspicion that he has met
with foul play. An examination of his
private affairs, the accounts of the bank.
and its relation with other banks. has been
made, and, so far as can be ascertained.
everything is correct and in perfect order.
\ later number of the Burlington Times
says that Mr. Hubbeli has been traced as
far as Albany. n. Y, where he spent the
afternoon of the 9th calling upon his ac-
quaintances. Beyond that city there is as
yet no tidings of him.
