A MYSTERIOUS AYPAIR.-The Mift0ntan, of
Friday last, says Mr.. Samuel Fnney, formerly of
this county, has been engaged In running Touring
mill in Frederick county, Va, for few years past,
and for about year has had associated with him in
tho business Mr.. 7. S. Stadden, of this borough.
On the second day of March Mr.. Fnney aseertained
that car load of fouE which he had shipped to
New York City had been consigned to bankrupt
party and as he had just started another car load
consigned to the same party, he Immediately pro-
cecded TO New York to stop the delivery of the
second car load. In this he successful and be-
fore leaving he disposed of the -four to responsible
house and obtained small advance on it. This
was on the 18th day of March. That morning he
left New Yor! for his home, Wadesvlle, Va
Since that time no word has been had Of him His
brother, William Finney, has been Oh to the city
and made every exertion to obtain trace of the
missing man, but without avail, and his friends
very much fear he has been foully dealt with The
detectives have the case in hand and are endeavor
ing TO work the matter out but as yet have met
with no success. Mr.. Finney has always been
known as an honorable, upright man, of whom no
word of reproach could be justly uttered, and VIC
trust the mystery which surrounds his disappearance
may soon be cleared up.
