MAN MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARS FROM HIS HOME

Levi SMITH, about 60 years of age, has disappeared from Pottstown, and his friends fear that he has met with foul play. About a year ago SMITH inherited several thousand dollars from the estate of his father, and he was in the habit of carrying considerable money in his pocket. Last week a stranger informed SMITH that his sister was dead and requested him to attend her funeral in Montour county. SMITH went with the stranger and has not been seen since.

HUNG HIMSELF

Sanford H. SAYLOR, of Quakertown, committed suicide by hanging in the barn of Wm. ECKERT, in that borough, about noon last Friday. Mr. SAYLOR, who had boarded with Mr. ECKERT for about 18 years, was about the house until eleven o'clock when he disappeared, and as he did not appear at the dinner hour Mr. ECKERT made a search and found him hanging to the rafters of the barn. Mr. ECKERT immediately lowered the body to the ground and summoned a physician who found life extinct. It is thought Mr. SAYLOR committed the act while in a state of melancholy. He was never married and followed the occupation of teaching music at which he was quite successful and in earlier years enjoyed a large patronage, extending over many miles of the surrounding country. Deceased was in the 45th year of his age. The funeral was held on Tuesday, interment being made at the Falconer Swamp Reformed church, New Hanover. Rev. G.W. ROTH, had charge of the services.
