Messrs. Coleman n Stetson, in a note to the Re
ceiver of the Empire City Bank, deny the indOrse-
men,s of their name which appear among the assets
of that Institution.
The United States Treasurer reports the net amount
in the Treasury, on the Goth ult, as s2l9l2, 700.
The business of the Clearing House to-day was

The State Treasurer Of Michigan sdvertses that
the assets of the Government Stock Bank have been
placed in the hands of Receiver, and that clams
against it mast be presented at the Treasurers Office
in Lansing. We learn by letter from Detroit that
the rumors in relation TO overssue of the notes Of
that bank are not generally believed, and that the
rumors were probably set sfoat in order to influence
the marke price of the notes.

+" Far from all resorts of mirth
Save tie cricket on the hearth"

1t produces loud sound, by quick Vi
bra:ion of the elastic skin between its
wings; and from the time when the Athen-
ians wore golden cicada in their hair, to
our days, when the cricket on the hearth
is the proverbial image Of home comfort
its simple note has been dear to the heart
of man. The true cricket, however,
speaks only in the sunny time of love.
The male begins in bis hermit cell, as
May approaches, to produce low inward
note Of longing. As the sun rises higher,
and summer advances, his shrill song be-
comes louder, until he finds the desired
Icompanion. Then he returns to his soil.
tary life once more and his voice dies
away by degrees. Dean Swift has left us
humorous description Of the death watch
beetle. The little fellow, in his narrow
cell, falls in love; Immediately he begins
to thump his head against the ground, ans
use such energy in his demonstrations tha
he leaves deep marks in the softer kinds O
wood. The powerful stroke produces ;
loud sound, the infailible presage of deatI
Ito a superstitutious man, the soft music o
love to the female beetle. If other male
are within hearing, theylall join in the con
icert with furious knocking, and such
their jealousy or zeal to answer, that eve
the ticking of an innocent watch excite
their wrath and their loudest notes. Pu'
