EATING BY THE CARD.-A green 'un
from Orange county determined to spend
few weeks in New York, for the purpose
OF seeing all the sights; and in order to
strike his acquaintances at home with a
proper idea Of the greatness of his visit,
he took up his lodgings at the Asor
House.
When he was ushered in to dinner the
first day, he was surprised u: the number of
people who sat down, as well as the vast
ness of the dining ROOM He was equally
surprised 10 see that each man had printed
account Of his dinner before him, and that
each one, as he thought, ate according to
the directions. He was quite hungry-and
well he might be after waiting three hours
over his usual time--so he attacked The
head of the bill with vigor and ate down
as far as he could, but he soon came 10 a
stand. Jus, then the gentleman on his
right requested the waiter 10 bring him
some oyster pye, which our friend heard
and Instantly referred to the list to see
where it was.
What" exclaimed he, with astonish-
ment, tuning TO his neighbour .'a,e YOU

A story is going the rounds Of the pa
pers OF a marriage by telegraph. The sto-
ry is hoax. but a marriage not unlike it
actually occurred in this neghborhood in
the early settlement Of the west. We do
not now recolect the names of the parties
but the officiating magistrate was George
Wallace Esq. the originel proprietor of
the Braddock's fields which was the scene
Of the occurrence. A bridal party Of the
interior had set out for the reridence of
Judge Walace1~0n arriving at the river,
they found it in high flood. To their call
for a boat, they were answered that all the
boats had been carried down by the river
in ITS rise. Anybody, in early times, could
distinguish bridal from any other party.
Understanding at once their object the
Judge made signs TO the couple to stand up;
what he could not express by words to be
heard at that distance, he made intelig ible
by signs and with voice as he could raise
pronounced them man and wife. The
party afterwards jocularly remarked that
''wife" was all that could be heard. They
were a respectable couple and lived long
and happily together, with no other than
this truly backwoods ceremony ormarriuge.

FREE BANKING.

About ten years ago, when the free
banks were authorized by law in the State
Of New York nearly all the journals IN that
state were advocates. either of free or in
corporated banks. Many journalists of this
state fell in love with the free banking sys-
ten, and urged its adoption by this state
The Ledger recorded lis solemn protest
against the mischief, and has never since
omitted proper opportunity for condemn.
ing the whole system. A modified form of
the evil was introduced among us in the
loan Companies" and their management
and fate, and the suffering of those con.
cerned in them, belong to history.
Events have pre- we'd the wisdom of our
protest. for the system has operated no bet
ter in New York than we have said that ii
would in Pennsylvania. Under this law,
one hundred banks were established, of
which seventy-one are in operation, and
twenty>nine have failed. OF the twenty
nine which failed, the nominal amount Of
securities in bonds, mortgages, and public
stock deposited with the comptroller of the
state, was 1,545,333. But the amount re-
ceived from the sales Of all these was only
S953,37l, which exhibits loss of S69l.
$685.! The circulation of these banks at
their suspension, was 81, 233, 447, of which
1927 ISL are still outstanding. Hence the
amount actually redeemed was 81, 2O5, 1923;
and this amount was redeemed by assets
amounting 10 S953,371. Therefore the
loss TO the community, upon this circulation
h,ch III he
standing, SGT ISL, Is an aggregate loss of
$3.50, 003! But how was this circulation
redeemed? BY about IS per cent in mon
ey. and the compirollers certificate for the
balance. to be paid in the assets Of the bank
when collected, and which have already
been exhausted! Thus while the owners
of tweniy-nine banks have lost 1901 1866 on
their securities, the community have lost
$4,000 on their notes! A very honest
operation Yet the owners profited by
these failures. The securities were ap-
praised according 10 law, by disinterested
persons, and these disinterested persons,
apprising under oath we're secret holders, or
10 make banks Of course, the loss on
the notes tell upon the poor men and
women, laborers on buildings and canals,
seamstesses and others.
OF the seventy one of these banks now
in operation, the circulation is $6,64l, 756.
and the securities S7,462,253. These
consist Of Federal stocks, state stocks, and
cash on deposit. The latter is probably
next TO nothing; and as most oithe state
stocks ale at a heavy discount, these secu-
rites are probably worth no more fer cash
than s., 000.000.-TPhil. Public Ledger.
