BELcHERTowN BANK. The searching
operation of a Committee from the Legisla,
ture has thrown light on the affairs of this
Bank and gives the holders of Belcher-
town Bills the agreeable information. that
such money Is utterly worthless The re-
port develops interesting facts, knowledge
OF which can do no puSllc injury.
The Bank was chartered in Feb. 1926
the capital to be 100000, divided into ! :
OOU shares at 500 each. A Boston Insur-
ance Co. Immediately purchased or sub
scribed for 965 shares, being the whole
stock except 30 shares, and paid in the cap
ital. These IS shares were probably own
ed in, and about Belchertown, worth at par
S5,5OO. SO much capital was invested in
the bank by its neighbors.
This alliance continued till JAN, 1927,
when the Insurance Co. sold out to Ralph
Huntington, John P. Rice, and others, OF
Boston. The following mysterious record
- COPIED from the books of the bank. We
insert it from the report verbatim.
At meeting of the Directors of the
Farmers Bank, at BeLchertotcn, held on the
18th June, 1897, at the Counting Room Of
Ralph Huntington, Congress Square, Bos-
Ton, It was voted-That Ralph Huntington
OF Boston, be the Agent of said Bank, with
authority to manage its concerns in Boston
an such manner as he shall think for the in
terest of the institution"
In Feb. 1928, the Boston owners sold
$9O,40O Of the stock to Philo Dickinson
President of the Bank, and Joseph Strong.
at five per cent. advance. The object ofthe
purchase was TO have the shares resold in
the country. Huntington was paid by TAX
ing to himself securities which were in ia.
vor of the Bank. The Bank was remuner-
ated by receiving into its vaults the note OF
Dickinson and Strong for the sum of $751;
600, which was not secured This note be-
came part of the capital stock. From this
date the institution had lingering exist
ence, and by the aid of borrowing could
scarcely keep from failing.
In this state of desperation to which mat
ters had come, the Bank being without cred
1t and without funds, dividend Of atree per
cent Wns paid IN .4pril, 1929. "Ofthis trans
action no satisfactory account has been Civ
en- TO the committee, and no record can be
found, on their books, authorizing it.n In
August last when the Bank had paid out all
their funds, and Messrs. Dickinson and
Strong owed the institution about $4,000,
il then stepped payment and failed.
The condition Of tho Banks money mat

To meet this debt the resources OF the
bank were in specie 1925! debts due to the
bank, SI57, 1874 ,43, in all, total of $751;

not profess any expectation of ever redeem

THE PRESIDENT HOAyED,

The hoax narrated in the following article from the
Natchez Galaxy, not strictly defensble, was GER
tainy excellent in the way Of fun. a wag, assuming
the name of paul Hoover one of Cooper's charac-
ters in his very bad novel of the Prairie and taking
his cue from the reforming" spirit Of the times, adj
dressed letter to the President praying his nerpo-
siton TO the Postmaster at Rodney, BIissis-
sippi The wag it seems, never imagined that he
should succeed in quizzing the old gentleman his real
object being to ridicue the proscrptiye system and
the hypocritica pretences by which it defended.
duch to his surprise, ard the exquisite amusement OF
the merry fellows, he received answer from the
President in due time 10 the effect "tbat his letter
had been received lis contents noted, and that what
eyer justice and The good Of the country required
@'o"ld be done" Had the joke stopped here, it
would not have been bad nothing would have told
TO The dscredit of the President but his being
Iuainted with paul Hoover"-ouite an excusablc
hing. 1t seems however, "THAT JUSTICE
AND THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY" re-
CURED the removal of Dir. Dart, the Postmaster at
Rodney, though in point of fact, be held the office
only for his ncghbors convenience, and nobody com.
blamed against him. but Paul Hoover, as the seonel
proves.
IN good lime AIr. Dart removed, g. a commits
sion forwarded to another gentleman, who very pro-
pcrly declined if. But we must give the reader the

IN recommending an impeachment of Judge PECK
