SHARp Practice BY BANK CAsnIER.-The N.
Y. Journal of Commerce tells the following story
of some sharp practice on the part of the Cashier
of the Peoples Bank, Paterson, N. j., who hap
pens to be President Of the Railroad Company.
1t is too good 10 be lost:
eThe morning this institution failed the Cashier
came to town, expecting to make arrangements
to 90 on as usual but his agent here very properly
refused 10 redeem the bills unless supplied before
hand with the needfuI, which was not for'hcom-
ing, and the Cashier accordingly started on his
return to make preparations for closing the bank
On arriving at Jersey City, he found quite num-
Der of brokers collected who had got wind of the
trouble, and were their way to Paterson 10
secure if possible, tie redemption of the bills in
their hands. The train started, the hungry BILL
holders seated in the cars, and the Cashier, who is
President of the Railroad Company, standing with
the Engineer on the locomotive. After run Of
few miles the bolt, by which the engine drew
its burden, was quietly withdrawn, and tie loco
motive, carrying the Cashier, shot onward TO
Paterson, leaving the to follow at their leisure.
As soon as he had taken leave of his passenger,
the engineer put back to bring up the train, and
found it at dead stand in an interesting locality,
where the passengers had abundant time and op
portunty to examine the scenery, and cool the
fever of their mpaience. When the train reach
ed Paterson, tie score Of brokers rushed to the
Bank, but found it closed with interesting
placard attached to the door!"
