CHLOROFORM IN VETERINARY SCIENCE.—On the 27th
ult., a valuable young horse, the property of Thos. Dixon,
jun., Esq., of Chester, had to be fired on the two hocks ;
to nullify the pain arising from the operation, the respected
owner suggested the use of chloroform, which the animal
inhaled for three minutes, when he became insensible.
During the painful operation, the horse did not evince the
least pain, and when turned over, for the purpose of more
easily getting to the second hock, remained in the same
slumbering state. The time occupied from the commence-
ment of the operation to its conclusion, was twenty-two
minutes, during the whole of which he was perfectly mo-
tionless.

THE FRAUD IN THE ROCHDALE SAVINGS' BANK.—
This disastrous event is the only topic of conversation
amongst all classes of society. The depositors consist of
the most industrious part of the community, and the
small savings of the last 20 or 30 years have, in many
inntannaa, fnund their nrnp ;ntr. +h. hank viarhip.h magi pgfia.
Wished, as stated in the cheque books, January 23, 1818.
On Saturday, numbers of the country depositors began to
come into the town, and go to the bank ; some to leave
their books for examination, and others to give notice for
the withdrawal of their money. At times there was a
considerable crowd about the bank, but all was very peace-
able. Mr. Howarth has picked the depositors, and gene-
rally taken to his private book those who had the largest
sums invested, and who were generally bringing in money
and taking little out. In his ledger account, when he has
taken any money from a depositor, he has written "with-
drawn," naming the sum, and debiting himself in his
cash-book with that amount. From the information yet
known, it is considered that the actuary began to take the
funds of the bank about the•year 1839, and has continued
this practice to the present time. The cheque books are
sent into the bank on the 20th of November each year,
and the interest is made up to that time, and added to the
principal. It is somewhat remarkable that the actuary
terminated his mortal career on the previous day. Many
persons entertain an opinion that Mr. Haworth caused his
death by poisoning himself. As some of the depositors
are selling their investments at 7s. 6d. in the pound, a
placard is posted in the streets to dissuade them from it,
by holding out the hope that the whole of their deposits
will yet be repaid them. By the last published report of
the savings' bank, there were 1,632 accounts open on
making up the books. The report for 1848 states that
" the transactions of the year have been on a large scale ;
and although the receipts are not equal, by £l,BBl, to
what they were in 1847, yet the withdrawals have been
less by £8,845 12s. 44d. than they were in that year.
During the period embraced in the report, 410 new ac-
counts were opened, and 598 closed.". What Mr. Ha-
worth's effects, which consist of a cotton factory, situate
at Sutton-brow, three-quarters of a mile from the Blue
Pits Station, a life insurance of £3,000, a sum of £3,000
due for twist lately sold, his household furniture, and a
splendid set of carriages and horses, will raise, remains
yet to be seen. It is supposed that all these will fetch a
sum less than £20,000. If a preference be given to the
depositors, there are a few •creditors who will be great
sufferers.—Manchester Guardian.—We regret to find
that the defalcations greatly exceed the sum (£35,000)
originally mentioned. As far as the investigation has
proceeded, it appears that the deficiency will amount to
between £40,000 and £50.000, and it may eventually turn
out that it amounts to £70,000. It is said that, in law,
the trustees are not liable.
