u. S. BANK.-We learn verbally from lar-
risburg, that the Governor has signed the bill clos
ing the several trusts Of the U. s. Bank, and set
ting the judgments obtained by the State against
the Bank on account of bonus. The Bank, we
believe is to pay the State $4,000. BY closing
the Trusts, the Bank gets rid Of large and use
less expense, and by compromising the judgments
lying against it, removes weight that would for
ever keep it in the dust. If The Bank has any
thing after paying its creditors, there is now at
least chance of making it available to the stock
holders. We understand the Bank has several
hundred thousand dollars worth of property after
paving the $4,000 named, to the State.

it in accordance with the rules ofcommon politeness
to force gentlemen off the plank walk leading

especially when the walk is sufficiently wide for
both parties to pass without inconvenience. Peo-
