Assets.
Liabilities
Capital Stock, $4,000
Total

This also showed deficiency of fifteen thousand
dollars. The deficiency could be made up by us
ing the Memphis money but then that was on
deposit, finally Mr. Smith with his accustomed
shrewnesS in financial OperalioaSand especially in
'IVad Cat Banks ; solved the difficulty. The
Memphis notes--loorth forty cents on The dollar
were to count as capital stock, and also deposit
according 10 circumstances. To satisfy the Direc-
tors and the community that the money was all
there, they were to be called capital stock but if
the directors presumed to say that the Memphis
notes were not coin, then they were to be especial
deposit"
fhs whole matter being so satisfactorily ar
ranged, and Mr.. Smith having faithfully fulfilled
the mission entrusted to him by the State Treasurer
of OHIO, he left on the following morning very
cary, and so did fifteen thousand dollars in coin
and ten thousand dollars of the notes of the Greens
borough Bank So Mr. BreSE, through his
agent, Mr.. Smith, received back just as much
money as he had sent ont, fifteen thousand
of which was the identical coin, had organized a
bank, and paid up its coin TO the amount of forty
thousand dollars had ten thousand dollars of her
notes for circulation, and would have sirtg-fUe
thousand more US soon as the machine could pos
sibly grind them ont.
Mr. Smith claimed, that the Bank was Bres
lins from the beginning that he (Bresin) iur-
nished the funds and that Waggoner was to
have pay for his trouble, and that he (Smth)
acted as Bresn's ag mt under his instructions
Breslin was, therefore, Principal in the whole
transaction.
The Organization of the BIuk Was very fair
index to It's future greatness.
In May following. it was thought advisable
TO pay up tn, bllance-S60 000-of the capital
stock. 1t was thought by so doing, the credit
of The Bank might be improved. Accordingly
another draft.was made on the State Treasur-
er of Ohio. Another note for the same amount
(S75, ,000) and tor the same time Zone year, was
made BY Mr.. Breslin. and Mr.. Waggoners in
dorse mpnt on the back Of .ff,esn thousand dol
lars. Breslin received the seventy Ave thou.

painful but the contrary would seem to be the ia
Judging from the following account of the effect
Of such visitation, given by General Sir {. j..
Napier Tie experienced au attack while in Scnde
where the thermometer according to Gen. n him
self was OF as much use to him as it would have
been 10 a boiling lobster and wrote as follows to
one OF his daughters: The sun-Strnke was q
staggcrer; yet my hope is TO die by one, for never
death come IN easier shapc.I was iust deadly
sleepy; il was deadly had been left alone bul
the only feeling of the transition would have been
tirednass, like that experienced at being suddenly
walked up before time. This was to a degree al
most to be called painful then came a pleasant
drowsiueSS, with anger that the doctors would moi
let ne sleep Were it not for Others, would that
my horn had then sounded: so easy, so delightful,
may say was the approach of dcath.' This re
sembes the accounts that have been given 10y men
who have been saved from freezing 10 death, after
having got far down into the dark valley 50 thai
the excess of heat and excess of cold produced
precisely the same effects.
