The investigation into the accounts of
the Merchants Bank, caused by the suicide
of Mr.. Hooper, paying teller, dscloses no
deficiency in his relations to the bank. He
had used however about $5O.0OO OF the
Merchants Bank money, which he made
good at the expense of the Atlantic and
Grocers' Bank, by certifying two checks
drawn by A. S. Peabody, which on the
authority of his. certificate were cashcd, and
the money drawn from those two banks
was used to make his own account good
1t is supposed that Hooper lost money in
somo speculations in which he engaged.

A TOTAL WREcK.-On the first of Janu-
ary, 1854, a gentleman doing business in
this city was worth, with what he had in
vested in business, hundred and ten
thousand dollars. At the same time he
was blessed with a lovely and intelligent
wife, beautiful and promising children. lie
was surrounded by friends who esteemed
and respected him. His business was lu-
crative and promised to continue so. Indeed
his position as well as his prospects were
seemingly all that he could desire to rend-
er his happiness perfect. How complete
the wreck which the year closed upon -
The first misfortune was the transfer of
merchandise TO the amount of eighteen
thousand dollars to California dealer, for
which not one cent was ever received
The next were two successive robberies,
by which twenty-five thousand dollars were
stole. Soon after this, the unfortunate
made an investment in real estate for
large amount. The next and crowning
misfortune was trip with his family to
Europe. They embarked, On their return,
with thirty eight thousand dollars in goods,
on board the steamship Arctic, and all
shared her iuckless fate /! In settling up
his affairs his real estate was sold under the
hammer at sacrifice Of forty thousand
dollars, making the aggregate loss to his
property during the year, one hundred and
eighteen thousand dollars, eight thousand
dollars more than his assets. Ms friends
were obliged to make good the deficiency
Was ever destruction more complete D
Father, moth,r, children, and fortune, ali
gonc--swept from the lace oi the earth
nothing left to show that they ever exist
ed !! We doubt whether among the many
wrecks which the past year has witnessed,
there has been among them one more mel
ancholy than this.-Courior.
