The New Castle Bank has been in opera.

lied Wall Street operator, named Sherman,
Oh stained control, and put in German named
Neiler, as Cashier. Within few months il
was ascepained that Nelsr had loaued It's

sixty thousand dollars, whereupon q prose-
culion was instituted agains, Sherman, who
dissorsed len thousand dollars, and subse.

ceived, except four or five thousand dollars.
or The amount returned, sixteen thousand
| dollars, il is alleged, was retained by Pits.
burg broker, for his services in forcing the
Wall street man 10 disgorse.
! NeIler was summarily dismissed, and one
Wagonseer, of Luzerne county, (who gave
General Charter and Hon. n. M. Fuller as
! bail, in $40, ,O00,) was chosen cashier. The
directors commenced Withdrawing heavy is
sues of The bank, and in two months past I'D
redeemed nearly two hundred thousand dol.
lars, when, on Wednesday of last week. the
cashier was missing, and with him whatever
small sum in cash that might previously have
been in the "vaulsn or safe Of the insiu-
ton.
During the day the hank remained closed;
on Thursday notice was posted up that 'tbe
cashier and teller had gone East on business"
--and the bank has not since been opened,
although eomo of the directors redee med con-
siderable amounts ot its noles on Thursday
and Friday, and pledged their properly for the
redemption Of more. On Wednesday Wag.
onselIer was in the city, aud gave man five
thousand dollars in noies OF the bank, on his
promise 10 return him four thousand in other

five thousand have been returned 10 the
