SEARCH FOR SKELETON - For some
DAVIS pas, the residents of Henrico county on the
richer road near the old pits, have been engaged in
securing the woods ia search of skeleton said to
ha We been seen by young man a hunting ex.
cursion As soon as the report became generally
known that the bones of a human being had been
discovered in the woods, rumor Immediately de-
clared that they must be those OF the unfortunate
man supposed to have murdered by Browning,
Smoote and Thorpe, and any number Of persons at
once volunteered their services to discover the
skeleton: but up to yesterday morning. no trace of
ii had been found Judging from all we have
heard. our country friends have been hoaxed by the
huntsman, who probably saw the skeleton only in
his own Imagination.

SELDEN, WITHERs & Gothic rumors
concerning this firm, and the circumstances
of the run upon them, will be found under
our latest news head. We expressed, upon
very reliable authority, on Tuesday, our con-
fidence in the concern. Their solvency will
now certainly be fully tested. If they are
what they have generally been believed to
be, solvent and firmly established, that fact
will appear. If they are not, that fact can
not long remain concealed under the pres
sure which prevails. Whether they are or
are not sound, solid and solvent, the events
of the week show pretty plainly that it is not
very wise to entangle the credit of the State
in any manner with that of an individual or
a firm. And if the Commonwealth can't get
along without hypothecating her bonds, she
had better stop little and take breath
awhile, until her stocks can be sold without
difficulty, and without hawking them about
Rumor, with her hundred tongues, has
been determined that nothing should be
wanting to stimulate the run upon Selden
Withers & Co. Tuesday it was reported that
they had suspended at 2 o'clock. This OF
course was not true, as the Washington pa
pers of yesterday stated that they continued
to redeem their notes on that day during
Bank hours.
