Moro Fancy FlnancIering.


The New York papers a short time ago
announced deficiency in one of the Pacific
Bank ook-keaPers' accounts, the amount
of $4,000 or lhereabouts, and that the
matter was undergoing investigation. The
Times gives the folloNing description Of the
missing 6naucier, who belongs to class
that has been manufactured within the last
few years by the swindling stock and mon
ey operations that have spread over The
country. The delinquent in this case, a
young man named Urmy, is supposed to
have left for California with q large share OF
the spoils in his possession; .
During the past two years, Urmy has
led very expensive life, and was always
surrounded by numbers Of friends who usu-
ally eRjoyed themselves at his expense-or
rather the at the expense of the Bank
and proclaimed him to be capital good
fellow. He was the owner Of new and
elegant yacht, that was the winner Of sew
cral reggattas last Summer, and to carry
out these sports, he was compelled 10 ex-
pend sums of money that we're unwaranted

lately became pecuniarily interested in an
extensive theatrical exhibition, and is sup
posed to have lost money thereby, though
it is from this source he justified his great
extravaganza. 1t is charged that be kept

{ All Hail: New Hampshire.

Notwithstanding the strong efforts made
by the administration from President Pierce
down to the three-penny postmastersin New
Hampshire, rebuke has been rsent up to
the White House and it's hangers-on, that
will be long remembered by Pierceites We
were strongly in hopes that the freemen Of
the Granite State would stand aloof from the
great treachery by which it was sought to
bind them to do the will and pleasure of the

her disapproval Of the national legislation
but now she has come out boldly and by a
mighty majority set the old administration
aside. We had hardly hope that Gov
