Absence Of Mind.

! There is a clergyman in Massa-
chusetts affected with this eccentric
lily, who, iii his absent intervals is
livery likely to appropriate to himself
not only whatever handkerchiefs may
chance to come in his way, but table
napkins also are frequently found in
his pocket when returning from So
cial tea-parties at his paribhioners. =
This was so much d habit, that his
wife would search his pockets on his
return for the purpose of restoring
the articles speedily to their rightful
owner. One day his wife found in a
side pocketa whole silk apron, strings
and all. He could give no account
how it came there-it was mystic
rious affair. A lady Of the parish,
however, settled the matter satisfac-
torily. la conversation with her
guest after tea, on some subject in
which he felt much interest, he mis-
took her apron, as she supposed, for
his handkerchief, and begun to tuck
it away in his pocket Knowing his
abstractedness, rather than break the
thread of the discourse, she united |
The apron string and let it go, not
/ little amused at seeing the whole,
lfter two Or three efforts, snugly
slowed away in his capacious pocket.

OwEGo BANK.-The rumor Of the fail
ure of this Bank, published by us, proves
to have been unioundcd. From our per
sonal acquaintance with the Institution for
fifteen years past, We are confident that it
stands as high where known, as the Nor
thumberland Bank does in tl.is community
The Bank has, however, sutained loss of
a portion only of its surplus funds, after
having divided 10 per cent. among its
stockholders for several years past. This
loss was by the failure of 7. Dwight, a a
the Bank in New York, and who had bor
rowed some $50 or SEC, 900 from the Bank.
The agency money was secured to the
Bank, but the loan will probably be total
loss, This loan was made without the au-
thcrity Of the Directors, and the Cashier
has been compelled to resign. Notwith-
standing the rumor of its failure was pub
lished far and near, only $1,000 in specie
were withdrawn from the Bank, and more
than that sum was deposited at the same
time.
Bu: although the large surplus funds
and previous good character Of this Bank
sustained it under loss which would have
destroyed many institutions less favored,
We agree with the views of The Ahenian
in the same ncighborhood, that "banks
were not contemplated to aid brokers in
speculating in fancy stocks-they were de-
signed to accommodate men of moderate
means and sure business in legitimate,
open, honest pursuits. The Bank had
closed its doors upon men of this class,
and loaned its means to favored few en-
gagged in hazardous speculations Such
course is prejudicial alike to all kinds of
business-to honest, safe banking-and
should be prohibited if possible by stern
and stringent laws"
1t is not denied, as we sec, that the
failure of this same Mr.. Dwight has caused
the suspension or entire downfall Of the
Pachin Bank" in New York State. and
of Massillon Bank " in Ohio. W.

At regular meeting Of the Franklin
Lyceum, at Hoboken, on the l7th inst,
the question for discussion was (Which
paper exerts the greater influence upon the
morals of community, The New York
Herald, or Tribune ?" After an animated
and protractcd debate between some dozen
of the members, the decision was rendered
by the Chairman in favor of the latter.
Upon the merits of the argument gene
raj vote was then taken upon the question,
as follows: In favor of The Herald, o; IN
favor Of The Tribune, l6. And as far as
am conversani throughout city and coun-
try, this would be fair expression Of
opinion among the enlightened and virtu-
Gus portion of community. But when you
descend to vice, low morals, and rum holes,
The Herald is ever to be found as the true
exponent of these degraded, dem oral.zing
plague spots, Of New York aud its vicinl-
ty. 1t was currently reported that a re-
porter of the Satanic Press was present,
but after hearing tie strong expressions
and argument against his Alma Mater, he
took himself eff in double quick time.
