BAxK RuMoRs. s.--From the best advices
We have received, the Oswego Bank is still
good. The New York Tribune of yester-
day says "this bank has not failed although
aniadisetest publication Of street rumor
to that effect in the Journal Of Commerce
might have produced such result. The
leading brokers have been buying the notes
of this bank to-day at the same rate as other
State money"
"Mr. Dwight, we understand, owes the
bank of Oswego $4,000, which should it
prove total loss, of which there is no
possible chance, would still leave them

tizens of Oswego, has guaranteed the de-
posits and has assumed the temporary man
agement of the bank"
The Buffalo Commercial says the suspen-
sion of Patchin Bank sis understood to have
been brought about by large advances to
the Buffalo and New York R abroad Com
pany."
That paper also says "the bills of the
bank are abundantly secured with the Bank
ing Department, and there is little doubt
that the private fortune of Mr.. Potehin,
whi:h, it is understood, will be devoted to
the object will protect depositors and credi.

ed influence here, and so far as our State
Banks and Independent Banks are concern
el, they are free from any "entangling al.
liances" Of that sort. The country is rich
in produce, and everything the earth bears
commands high price.
Our Banks too, as very general thing
are honestly and ably managed, and pursue
"a course fully within the bounds of their
charters and the law.
The public, however, should watch and
mark any Bank which issues large quanti
sies of foreign money, under pledge
either direct or implied, to redeem that mo
ney. Such pledges, when the pinch comes
are not always kept.
We are informed that the Forest City
Bank has issued certificates OF deposit, pay
able to bearer, and that these certificate,
ure for small sums. Being payable to bear
er, and being issued in such quantities, AM
for such Sums, forbids the supposition tha
they are issued in regular course of egiti
mate Banking business, and therefore suct
transactions create distrust. This Bank
should not injure good name by "whippin!
the devil around the stump"
Bankers have had SO many, and such Sc
we're lessons in Ohio, that ignorance an,
inadvertence are criminal, and we shall d
our duty and our whole duty to the public
in speaking out plainly, and in holding bank
right up to the mark.
1t is subject Of rejoicing that the blot
has come thus early, for so sure as nigh
follows day it needs must come sooner c
later. Now its effec. will be only jai

RARE SURGICAL OPERATroS.--A lad
named Thompson, living about four miles
south of this city, a day or two since, by
some accident dislocated the cervical verta-
brae, between the third and fourth. DR..
Seibert of this city, was called, and preceiv-

of the phrenc nerve attempted to reduce it,,
and was successful --MitDdukee Wisconsin,
That operation dom begin to come up to
one recently performed by Dr.Hum Bugery,
of Bloviation Hollow near this city. The
patient was son of Esquire Puff and the
case was simply this: Puff's son was aaict-

the doctor aforesaid was called in to bore
him. After a vigorous effort OF sixteen
days and four hours, during which time nei-
ther patient nor doctor took other nourish-
mont than ten dozen oysters and pair OF
Shanghai fowls each per day, the effort was
successful, the brass gallinippers perforated
the convexity of the hifaluten, and Mr..
Puff's son was restored!

TaE following aneclote is told by the

board as a representative to Congress from

rose early in the morning aud paid visit to
the shipping at the docks, when the tide
was full, and again at noon, when 1t was at
ebb--and not satisfied with the sudden
change that had taken place, again in the
evening, when the tide was in.
Heretofore he had resolved to keep every
thing to himself, and go in pursuit Of knowl-
edge under difficulties, on his own hook
but now his astonshment broke over its
bounds, and as he returned to the hotel the
old Ranger remarked that this was the Gu

ParIicuiars.-Professor Butler. Principal Of
the High School, at Louisville, il has been
announced by telegraph, was shot by Mat.
+. Ward, Oldest sou Of r. J. Ward, on
Wednesday morning last, and died that
night. The Courier says Of the lamentable
transactions:
"He went to the High School accompa-
MED by two Of his brothers, Robert Ward,
ayouth Of sixteen, and William Ward, a
smaller boy, and called for Mr.. WIN. II. @ /.
B1tler, one Of the teachers. A few words
passed between them, when Mr. Ward pull
ed out pistol and shot Mr.. Butler DOWN
The ball penetrated his left breast, over the
heart, and he fell TO the floor, ezclaiming,
in his agony. ~ arp kilied--oh, my poor
wife and child ~ Ward then dropped bis
pistol, and, accompanied by his brother, re-
treated from the school-room.
"Mr. Butler was able to rise from the floor,
and left the room, assisted by some boys;
but, when in the street, he fell again, and
was carried home. The ball could not be
extracted, and he bled inwardIy. Mr. But
Ter had corrected VIM. Ward, one of his pu-
pills, the day previous, for telling a fa.se-
hood, which led to the tragic affair.
"Robert Ward, who accompanied his
brother, drew a Bowie-knife, and when
Prof. Sturgus, the other teacher in the
school, advanced to the assista nee of Mr..
Butler, he made such demonstrations that
the Professor retreated and made his escape
out of window. The scholars 10 the schoo
room were also scattered 10 all direction:
by the display of such warlike instrument:
in their midst.
"Mr. M. F.Ward and Robert J. Ward ,Jr.
were promptly arrested and lodged in Jail
and as the affair will undergo judicial in
vestigation, we forbear narrating the Parti
culars.
Mr.. Butler was one Of the best and mos
inolfensive men in the world, and we cal
appreciate the anguish OF his friends at hi
being SO untimely cut off, and in sdch
manner. The affair is generally regarde
as of most atrocious and unproyoke,
character, and, when it became known, tn
deepest indignation prevailed throughout tn
city. The Ward family is one Of the wealth

0Erfn sundry shops and windows, yes.
terday, new caricature made its first ap-
pearance, which we have had good laugh
at. 1t illustrates the old story how the irish
man killed the toad. Paddy, as the fable
runs, was going home, with scythe over
his shoulder, and had his dignity afronted,
in some way or another, by toad that
crossed his path. Pat determined to slay
the reptile, and raised his scythe for that
purpose, but unfortunately, the deadly weap-
on cut off his own head. In the caricature,
Collector Bronson figures as the toad, full
in the path of gentleman whose head,
bearing wonderful resemblance in his fea-
lures to those of President Pierce, is repre-
srnted as having been cut of by mistake
The astonishment Of the face, after the blum
der of decap apitation, is clcverly depicted, and
there is sly expression of delight in the
Collectors aspect which is highly charac-
terislic.-- ". Y. Sunday Times.
