Individual Liability Bubble BGrsi-
ed Again!

The Bank of Norwalk closed its doors
on Wednesday last. between the hours of
10 and IL O'Clock A. M. A very severe
run for specie has been kept up during
the past summer. and it was supposed
and hoped by the business community
that after paying out between one and
two hundred thousand dollars of coin the
managers of the bank would have kept it
in a solvent condition.
This bank under its old organization,
was one of the very few banks that paid
specie during the monetary crisis of ls-
3S, '39 and 40, and maintained an un.
tarnished reputation. But when, under
the dominion of Locofoco legislation. the
charter become subject to alteration, aud
Bsrtley's banking law put the lndividu-
al Liability security upon ii, the old cap.
italists determined to wind up its affairs
and step out. This they did, and the
Bank, under the direction Of new leaders,
sailed under the BARLEY law, until at last
like Manhattan, Wooster, st. Clair, and
other individual liability Locofoco Cor
porations, it has gone to the shades
leaving the bill holders the right to pu:,
chase as many law suits as they choose
The Bank OF Sandusky. like the Bank
of Norwak, was predicated upon thai
wonderful method Of securing the bill
holders, viz: the individual responsibility
of tie stockholders. The public have
now the satisfactory means of determin
ing the value ofthis kind of security. The
moneyha circulated freely and exten
sively, and thousands of our farmers. me
chanics and aborers have in their pock
cts snug little parcels of from one to TEL
dollars. How satisfactory it mast be tc
them 10 know that they have the right e
go and look up these stockholders, anc
commence their suits at law.--NOrqcail

Her Majesty is undoubtedly, among
the most accomplished ladies' in her do
mnions. She is mistress of the modern
languages. in which she expresses her
self with grace and fluency. Her love
of music developed itself at very early
age; she plays with taste aud expression
on several Instruments and has inherit
ed her royal grandtalher's Geo. the
Third predileciiou for the organ. She is
said To evince decided preference for
Italian music, and takes delight in the
compositions of Beethoven and Mozart
Her voice is meszO Soprano.> She in
heriis her musical talents, not only from
the royal family from whom her descent
10 paternally derived, but also from her
mother, who was a composer. The
Queens talsnts for drawing are so re-
mark able, that one Of her masters, before
her accession 10 the throne, when speak
ing of his royal pupil, said: "The Prn'
cess Victoria would have made the best
female artist of the age, if she had moi
been born to wear crown" She writes
very fair hand free, bold and legible
She is also an excellent aIithmetician, and
examines accounts with the ease of Fl
nancer. In her private expenditure
Her Majesty is both economical and gen

tariff Of 46 upon the industry and labor
of the country, states the following facts.

Ohio Finy-Ihree Years Ago.


The following extracts of letter we
copy fromthe Worcester, Mass. Telegraph.
The letter was written by Peregrine Fos-
ter ESQ, father of Mr.. F. A. Foster of
this place, and dated Pittsburgh, April
5th, 1895. The Telegraph says: "He
was one Of the Company of 4s, with Gen.
Rufus Pntnam at their head, who consti-
;uted the first party of emigrants TO the
territory northwest of the Ohio river"
Should the writer revisit the scenes of
his hardship, he would find that his most
sanguine hopes had more than been re-
allied. Fifty years ago! Ohio was a
wilderness. Now! The third if not the
second State in the Union. As Gov.
Bebb would say, "the Buffalo no longer
roams over her primeval forests" But
to the extract:
"I purchased opposite the mouth ofthe
little Keuhawa. 100 miles west of this,
and l2 below Marietta, to which | intend
removing my family in few days"
"The country from Pittsburgh, north.
west of the river Ohio. is generally hilIy
much so till we get down several hun
dred miles as the river runs. These hills
afford variety of soil, but the greatest
part poor The various creeks that fal
into the Ohio afford some good land &, the
Bottoms, more especially SO on the Ohio
are in some places extensive, than which
there is no better land On these the

Maple, Elm, Sycamore. Black Walnut

kinds, Honey and common Locust and
Poplar. The underwood Pappaw and
Spice wood. On the rich hills nearly the

Red Oak. On the poor hills, small Pines
with the other growth ofthe poorest lands
in New England. On the dividing ridge
between the waters of the Ohio and tn,

Married-Ou Saturday Nov. 11th. in
the Court House by the Rev. Jo. Bell,
Mr.. William Peevy toMiss. Caroline
Hudspeth, all of this county.
The minister had just been elected
Brigadier General of this brigade. and
when called upon to officate ut the mar
riage cer,mony, was busily engaged in
calculating his majority, which was very
large, having no opponent. In another
corner of the house was groupof men
calculating the loss of Cass and the gain OF
Taylor and in the door of the house stood
the deputy sheriff selling poor fellows
corn for a small susp piciOn of debt-while
the probate clerk, ,at his table, was busily
engaged in calling off the land assess
ment book; and in another corner Of the
house stooda group of boys swapping
marbles. The minister commenced the
ceremony while the Taylor man called
out 104 gain for Taylor,and the Cass mau
said "d--n the luck" Sheriff shouted
chow much for the corn-who'll give
more for the cornl" The clerk called
out the N. E. quarter ofthe west half OF
section IL, township l3, range IL east
and Billy in the corner cried out, II wont
give you two blacks for white alley
But under all the disadvantageous cir

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9-6p. m.

A scene occurred this afternoon which
was full of painful excitement. A large
number Of persons were amusing them
selves on the Schuylkill, on the ice near
Fairmount, above the dam. While they
were thus engaged skating, sliding
and playing, men, boys, and girls to-
gether, large cake Of ice upon which
there were above one hundred persons,
gave way and foated down the river with
Them upon it. At this moment the most
intense excitement and CONSERVATION pre-.
vailed. Those on the shores and station
airy ice stood aghast Boats were imme-
diately procured, and many were rescued
in this way. while others jumped into the
water and made their way, as best they
could, to the shore. The immense bod Y
of ice sill fioatcd down with the current,
all had escaped but three-a man, his lit
tie daughter, and small boy. These
we've precipilaled over the dam, but for
tunalely rescued. A gentleman named
Morgan Ash, in escaping from his hazard
Gus position, struck his head against a
large body Of ice and cut in it a terrible
cash. 1t seems almost like miracle, bul
the whole scene passed off without the
loss of life. '..a ... m
