GREAT DEPALcATIoN- MYsrERIors Ar
FAIE, -Y yesterday the direction ofthe Bank
3of Louisiana superseded one Of its tcllers.
Ian elderly gentleman, of the name of VIC
tor St.s Victor, who has held the Office for
the last four years. They were moved to
this act By a suspicious circumstance, no
4 tlced IN the papers last Summer, of a pre-
tended payment by Mr.. Victor Of forged
check drwn by James IL Leyorich There
were also, reasons TO believe that Mr. ST.
VIeeasAxyas not of sound mind. This NOR
I 2thgg,z Nj. y. p Olivier came to,tbe bank
and informed the Cashier that Mr. St Vic
tof 4lad encountered him last night OH Con-
go square, and told him tliafhe had taken
sixty thousand dollars and deposilcdrit ina
certain place, where he (A1r. Oivier) would
find it, andthathe intended iinmediatelvto
destroy himself Mr. Olivier thought he
was crazy, and attached but little iinpor-
lance TO the statement, but passing by the
bank this morning, he stepped IN and IL
formed Mr. Davis (the Cashier) Of il, he
immediately took charge of the cash.
Mr.. ST. Victor was in the bank at the
time, or shortly afterwards, but on some
excuse, went out for moment and las
not been seen since There is an adverts-
ment IN Our paper Of to-day Offering $500
reward for his apprehension. He IS quite
an elderly, infirnl man, and will no doubt
be arrested The amount he is charged
with having taken, is about eighty thousand
dollars. It's fortunate that this blow fell
where it did.-N O. Delta.
The sum of SOL, 600 has been since re-
covered from Mr.. ST. Victor, who had
been wandering about the Levee in a half
deirious manner but subsequently appear
ed at the Bank and delivered himself up.
So says the Delta.
