DroVned.-A young man named JAMES
Andrews. a shoemaker in the employ of
Shockly and Co., was drowned on Monday
evening last in the Reservoir. He went in
for the purpose of bathing, and while swim
ming around the point "a fatal point was
seized with the cramp, and sank to the
bottom instantly. The wateris about eight
feet deep. and as it proceeds Immediately
from the springs that supply the Reservoir,
is very cold-hence the cause of the cramp.
Although every effort was made to save
him, human exertion proved unavailing,
and a young and generous hearted man
persisted in presence of many of his per-
sonal friends.
Dr.. DAVIS dove in search of the victim
some half dozen times, and although he
discovered the body, was unable, from the
chilly condition of the water, to raise ii
from the bottom. The body remained in
the water until this morning, when it was
recovered with the aid of a graphing iron
The corpse was placed in a double cof
fin, that the remains may be conveyed tc
his native place, Washington, Ohio if re
quired on the arrival of his friends. l
mey be a source of satisfaction to his rela
tives and friends to know that every at
~tention was rendered by our citizens il

LARGE BANK Div1prNp.--The State Bank OF
Missouri has deelared a, dividend ten per cent.
out of thenet profits for the six months ending on
athe3fst of December last. For'th previous six
months the bank declares dividend OF seven per
seent, making the entire dividend for the year
sateen per cent: This was declared, too. after
Setting aside not.quite 500. 600 as Contingent
Fund, and after disposing of llitems which
hadtbeen hanging as so much dead weight on the
Bank. We beievethe Bank has been for tie last
year, under Wing management. The ST. Louis
Republican speaks thu. OF the course pursued by
the Directors. 1t is worthyo of imitation:
The Bank has in truth been managed admirably
within the year, Unlike most banks il has been
winIas to hepb its customefs whsnthey 9need il,
instead of shutting downuponf them the moment
pinchingI times come. This is the common move
ineit of Banks in other cities where, possibly, it
enables .outsidersu 10 shave alittle more deeply,
but the Directors here seem TO think It one of the
legitimate functions of Bank TO assist the COM
munity when they are mostintwant of temporary
assistance. At tie present time, wien there is
little business doing, and good many balances To
be adjusted, the Bank, instead of scurtailing its
line discounts, is rendering all the aid possible,
by di CO intng and purchasing all good paper, and
iliisit has done 10 avery liberal extent.
