GREAT DEFALcArIoN.-The New York evening
papers of the 9TH INST contain accounts d! the de
falcaton" OF James ). Schermerhorn, Secretary o.
the Ocean Insurance Company.
The Herald says
''Mr. Schermerhorn was appointed in 1918, with
a salary OF about $4,000 per annum. On this sala-
~ his habits of frugaty enabled him support his
family and up the year 1882 amass SIM of near
$4,000. At that time the great speculation in Nor
rIs Canal came up, and IN an evil hour professed
friend induced Mr. Schermerhorn TO speculate in
that stock lie was unfortunate. and in few days
the savings of fourteen years besides a small bal
ance, sunk. This shock had powerful effect
upon him. and he took from the company a small
sum, intending OF course TO return it, That sum
eventually sweiled to over 500 000-it consisted of
500 shares of stock issued which is worth about
$4,000 and the remainder was concealed by forged
balances OF his bills receivable. In the ten years
which have elapsed since his first folse step, Mr..
Schermerhorn has been exceedingly frugal in his
expenses, and his little savings have been passed TO
the credit Of the company. The change which has
taken place in the of the insurance business
has led to the winding up of the company, when the
stockholders were TO have been paid off. The ap-
proach OF this event rendered longer cOncealment
impossible, and Mr. Schermerhorn voluntarily dis
closed the whole. The value Of the stock IN the
market has been 50 per cent TO day however, ~
per cent was offered for it,"
The Standard states the sum embezzled at over
$4,000, and states that
"Alr. Schermerhorn made no attempt to escape,
but quietly submitted to the course of law, which
must in all probability consgn him to gnomini-
Gus punishment. He says he has lived in torment
all these ten long years, notwithstanding his eXterI-
or cheeriulness, and that IN compliance with the
dictates of his feelings and to prevent suspicion from
falling upon innocent persons as accumpllces with
him, he prefers to take the punishment which may
fall upon him. lie says that the secret of his guilt
has been pent up in his bosom alone, until last
week. when finding that 1t could not much longer
be kept, he disclosed It to a member of his family.
There is no knowing how much longer the frauds
might have been hidden under the thin covering
which he had contrved, had not the company deter
mined TO divide their capital.
The Evening Post says-"Iie was generally re.
garded of the most upright men in Wal
street, and had always lived very economically"

PoLIcE.-The doings of rogues for the past few
days, have not yet been discovered, and therefore,
business at the police has been almost stagnant. A
fellow named Henry T. Field, regular loafer, en-
tered the store Of T. s. Miller and Carlton White,
1853 Chatham street. on Saturday evening, on pre-
tence purchasing handkerchief and while there,
by the aid of several cappers in, who accompanied
him, he contrived to steal piece of cloth worth
about $50. He was caught with the documents
however, and locked up.

FELL OvERBoARp.--Mr. Edwin F. Ackley, who
has been clerk In the store OF Howard, Keeler and
Scofield corner OF Broadway and Wall street, for
the past four years, was accidentally drowned on Sa
turday evening, at the Williamsburg ferry foot
of Peck slip He had proceeded to pass over in the
ferry boat, about o'clock had been his custom
for sometime past and as the boat was approaching
the wharf he walked down and supposing she was
within stepping distance attempted to step on board
and fell into the water. Every exertion was made
to save him but without fail His body wasrecovered
yesterday morning and the Coroner's jury returned
verdict that he to his death by accidental drow
ming, which might have been avoided had the ferry
company placed suitable lights 1T the end of the slip
as they were bound to do by the terms Of their lease
and the city ordinances. We understand that there
was neither light on board the boat al her bows nor
at the wharf, at the time Of the accident Had there
BEEN in all probability he mans life would have
been saved after he had fallen overheard.
INCREASE OF POPULATION. deadinfants were
found yesterday in different parts OF the city, where
they had been deposited, as is supposed, by the au-
thors Of their existence, to avoid exposure. New
