FAILURE OF THREE DRY GOoDs JoBBIxG
HOUSES N BosroS.-LFF3s Defdtc1tiOHs.-Th
following account of the failure of three dry
goods houses in Boston, we take from the Jour
nat Of that city;
YsEegret to learn that three houses engaged
in the Dry Goods Jobbing trade in this city
were unable to meet their business engagements
yesterday, and were obliged to suspend pay
ment They were MeSSrs. Whitney, Fenuo &
Co; Messrs. Chapman, Lord & Hale; and
Messrs. Shaw, Sampson & Bramhall. The
amount of liabilities of several firms we do not
hear. Hitherto, our merchants have nobIy
withstoOd the general depression in business
and the pressure in the noney-market. We
hope they will still be able to ride out the
storm.
The failure of MeSsrs-, Whitney, Fenno & Co.
is attributable to large defalcations on the part
of their chief clerk. The amount appropriated
is extremity uncertain and must remain so until
the books of the concern are thoroughly exam
ined. 1t is, however, variously estimated from
$50, 600 to 100000, SOme Of the particulars
OF this dedication, as we learn them from var
ious authentic sources, are as follows:
About TWO months ago. suspicious were
aroused in the minds of the firm that their head
clerk, Jonathan n. HasSard, had been appropri-
9ting the funds of the concern. The origin Of
suspicion was in the fact that frequent remit
Elances of money from customers of the firm
were never received, denoting unmistakahEc
iinterception on the part of some one acquainted
with the business Of the concern. To the end
Of ferreting out the rogue, a trap was set at the
Post Office, into which HasSari was inconti-
nentIy Iured, made fast, and obliged to confess
I his guilt We understand that he has confessed
| to having appropriated large amount and un-
der promise of release, disgnrged part of his
ill-gotten gains, acOnsiderable portion of which
Is said to lie invested in very doubtful sccuri-
/ ties, and regarded to he Of small value.
Hassard is about thirty years of age, and has
been in the employment of the firm i've years.
The discovery Of his dishonesty was matter Of
extreme surprise to his employers. Under the
arrangement above referred to he left this section
of the country about three weeks ago.

the first boar frost had vhitened the leaves Of

many weeks It requires-the worthy epicure

Ihg unhappy man emerged from the cellar dumb
