A few days since, at Albany, young man
named Sylvanus NJ. Spencer, passed a torgcd
check OH the City Bank for $3.50, and ieo
to New York where information was given
of the fact to police officer by the name ol
Smith who soon ascertained the place OI
Spencer's abode. On reaching his lodgings,
Mr. Smith was Informed that the young man
was then out, but the next morning he was
to leave for Texas, in the Phiadel phia boat.
Smith was bright and early at the landing,
and Just before the boat started, a coach
drove down, and out jumped man, whose
person answered well the description given
him in the letter of Spencer.
Mr.. Smith was a total stranger, but ventur-
cd familiar salute of-'lIow are you Mr..
Spenc ?'-Qute well,' was the reply but,
sir, how's this {? You certainly have the ad-
vantage Of me- But why so !" continued
he, don't you know me? How are ell the
folks in Albany!' 'All well when ] leN,'
said Spencer. But whtre are you going !:
asked Smith. oh! for Texas. Pm gong
to see what that garden Of the worlds made
Of No you DON'T retorted Smith with one
of his sarcastic grins; and giving the WORD
of march for the City Prison, the young cul.
prt complied with the requisition with the
best grace he could, and is now on his way
to Albany to await his trial.

NAVIGATION OF THE HUpsON.-Steam-
boats now run regularly to Coeymnns, twelve
miles below Albany; and we fear it will be
many weeks before they will get beyond that
place. The ice which came down the River
in January, has become jamrned in for con-
siderable distance above Coeymans, and
forms solid mass at least twenty feet high,
resting oil the bottom Of the river. The OBJ.
struction thus formed, is so impregnablc, that
it has changed the entire channel Of the
river. which now runs through some fields On
the East Of it's former bed!
This may prove very serious matter, and
calls for the immediate attention OF the officer
having charge ofthe works at the Orerslangh
In the first place, il the mass Of ice be as
great as is represented, it will probably take
FIVE or six weeks for it to dissolve and then
again, when dissolved, il is matter Of great
doubt whether either the old or the new bed
Of the river, will be navgable until the water
is forced back into its old channel by the
construction Of n temporary dam across the
new one. The subject is certainly one OF
Importance and should be so regarded by the
people at Albany.-[N Y. Com. .qdu.

The same favorable change which we no

The debt is nearly paid off, either BY actual

THE sUsP ENsTON.

Wethink that the history Of State Bank
ing, in the absence Of National Financial
institution, is in fair way TO convince the
most sceptical that it is utterly vain for the
country to depend upon local banks for a
sound currency. The United States Bank
was put down, as every body well reco.lects,
with the official promise Of better currency
and the official declaration that State Banks
could furnish both currency and exchange
better alone than ii conjunction with Ma.
Etional Bank. How the State Bank project
has worked, since the Bank of the United
States went out of existence, the people see
and feel by q sad sad experience. Besides
. universal arrangement Of currency and
extraordinary prices for exchange in every
direction--a general suspension in 1887 has
cost the people in money and means most
enormous sum, not less than FIFTY MILLIONS
of money if not double or more than that
sum. After awhile majority Of the State
Banks determined 70 Try il again, and with
various kinds Of success, in different parts
Of the country, they have got along with a
half way kind of credit, until now another
general suspension IS upon Us. When this
is to end Of what it is to cost the people be-
fore il ends, God only knows
All these things have been ten thousand
times predicted BY the wing press all Over
the Union. We lament the condition Of the
country. Welool . few years back and see
that the people were prosperous and happy
They had currency and system Of ex.
change the best that ever existed in the
history of mankind. Alas. where are these
things now We ask sober men to look d

EFFECTUAL AND CERTAIN CURE
FOR THE PILES

FOX THE PlLES.
& THE Piles is undoubtedly the most loathsome
and distressing disease that ever human being
was attac ed with, since the fall of our race;
and any remedy that will cure it must be hailed,
by those afflicted with that malady, as medi.
clue calculated to add new vgor to human life.
7 he Piles is n disease that has heretofore been
considered incurabe; attacking all ages, sexes,
and conditions. But it is as easy cured when
understood, as any complaint that attacks the
human family. Many persons afflicted with
Piles, conceal it from all their associates, and
even physicians. until it becomes so distressing
and the disease takes such an alarming hold on
the patient, that life itself becomes almost u
burthen to the afflicted person; when if he had
applied to his family physician when it first
made its appearance, he might at least have pre-.
vented it from arriving to such distressing
extent. "
Those persons afflicted with this malady are
assured that a few boxes of this ointment will
perform an effcctual cure in the most inveterate
cases Those who have been but short time
suffering with it will generally find themselves
perfectly well i'll the course of a few weeks
after they commence the use Of this article.
Cases of long standing, like all other chronic
diseases, require the continuation Of the remedy
for several months. The patient will generally

this disease in very short time after its appl

ease should Immediately resort to the medicien
