! IT is now nearly three weeks since Mr..
Jacob Roember so mysteriously disappeared
from his home in this place. and still they
have discovered no trace of him further
than that published last week. His
relatives and friends have searched in
vain for some clue as to his whereabouts,
or what has become of bin. 1t is surely
one Of the strangest disappearance that
We have ever heard Of There has surely
been foul play somewhere, or man of his
good sense and Judgment would not go of
IN this way and not let his family know
anything about where he was going or as to
his whereabouts. Not even q conjecture as
to what has become of him can be offered
by any one, with any degree Of plausibility.
