principal articles OF import have sustained fur

found they yielded more gold than those of Sibe:

FLIoHT OLA BANkER's CLERK TO CALIFORNIA
The Fife Herald notices the flight of young man,
nineteen years OF age, teller in tie Cydesdale
Branch Bank In that town, who went of by rail-
way on Friday afternoon last, leaving his en-
ployer, his father, relation, and friends In utter
ignorance Of his Intentions. 1t is stated that he
| has distracted G350rOm the bank safe, of which
| he lad charge. The bank agent to the time of
his exit, was highly satisfied with MS conduct and
had lately offered hum an advance of salary to
g70 to continue In his employment Nor has any
other charge OF Improper conduct been brought
against him Of any kind whatever. It 10 suspected
that he and two other lads have had their imagl-
nations so firedby what they have read about the
treasures of California, that they have set of for
that new FL Dorado.

lecung subscriptions for a new edition Of his
works He leaves the subscribers at liberty to

to PRINT their names In the collection, and fixes

that he breaches this scheme to promote the inte-
rest OF others; but the real and unmlstakeable
meaning OF it is, that he Is IN such grievous want
OF money, to be obliged to make an indirect ap-
peal to the generosity OF the public. 1t is cad
| thing to see man who stands 30 high, and has
done go much, reduced so low; but still it Is ho-
norable to him to be poor, after having had, as a
member Of the government, thousands pass through
his hands, OF at his command. Perhaps hisfriends
and admirers are to be blamed for not coming for
ward to assist him Ia his strait.-Lityary Gasate.
