None for a dandy splashed by a mud~cart-
None for a man who loses his umbrella; and

We are advised that W. II. Gibson has this day re-
signed his office treasurer of State and that the gov

hundred and fifty thousand dollars has been found to
list in the treasury which deficit Is stated by Mr.. Gibson
to have existed when he into the Office and to have
been caused by the delcaton of the former treasurer

under the act of last winter make in conjunction with
the auditor one of his clerks full examination into

Notwithstanding this deficit the July interest win
