The Western Reserve Bank.

4AS 1L|oSA VIC oduAs
The Mahoning Register of last week
stated, from what authority we are at a
loss to guess, that the Western Reserve
Bank had suffered by the failure of the
Ohio Life d Trust Company, TO the tune
of $500 600. How Col. Dumars could
have been SO gulled is somewhat strange,
for he ought TO have known that it would
be absolutely impossible that an Ohio
Bank should have one-half of is CAPT
tai on deposit in a New York bank
The truth is that when the news of the
failure of the Life s. Trust Co. reached
here, the books of the Western Reserve
Bank exhibited a balance against the
0 L q 7. Company, for SI9. 0O0.-
Beside this, there were floating drafts
which had been drawn on the G. L &
7. bank, SO lately, that it was possible
that the whole OF them had not reached
New York before the suspension. Ii
was also possible that some of the col
lection paper semi by the Western Re-
serve Bank TO the Ohio Life d Trust Co.
might have been used by the latter for
its own purposes. All of these combined
will probably amount to some thirty or
forty thousand dollars.
The Western Reserve Bank has a
of $500, 600, all paid in, and if
the indebtc dness of the Ohio Life d.
Trust Co. were to prove a dead loss. it
would not embarrass the Western Re.
serve one Bank whist. II would be scarce
" felt by the stockholders; much less

Crops IN EURoPE.-The London cor
respondent of the National HatelEgeRcer
thus writes on the 24th of July:
Another week of highly favorable
weather has brought the country to the
very verge of harvest. Reports are al
so very decided from all parts of France
that there will be a great crop through
out the country. It is the same in Spain.
Italy. Algeria, Egypt, and Southern
Russia. mhe market at Mark Lane has
given way under these promises of plen
ty, and wheat is fully four shillings
per quart cheaper. TIE harvest will
commence during the mex week in the
more southern and forward districts of
England.

State Fair Items.


The Eight Annual State Fair of Ohio
will commence on Tuesday, the 18th
September next, and will continue four
days. The grounds upon which it will
be held are Immediately North of the
Brighton House (Cincinnati,) on the
Hamilton Turnpike.
The following railroads will convey
passengers 10 and from Cincinnati, du.
ring the Fair, for half the usual rate o
charges, and will convey stocks and ar.
ticles for exhibition, free. Itmay not be
improper 10 state the maoduS operandi Of
this arrangement in detail, SO that. nc
blame may attach to the railroad comua-
MES who have so generously volunteered
their services for the benefit Of the visit
or and competitor. Before entering the
car the passenger must purchase of the
ticket agent an excursion ticket 10 and
from the Fair, for which he will pay the
usual price from that station to Cincin.
natl, but the excursion tickes entities the
holder 10 return free Of charge. When
stock, or other articles for competition,
are shipped on the cars. the usual rate
for freight must be paid by the shipper
10 the freight agent, who will give a re-
ceipt for the same; at the close of the
Fair the Corresponding Secretary will
issue certificates to ali competitors and
exhibitors. which will entiile them To
have their stock, or other articles, re-
turned free of charge, and when arrived
at the station from which they were ship
ped the amount advanced for freight
will be refunded.
The above arrangements are valid on
the following roads: Mad River 81 Like
Erie. Cincinnati & Chicago, Cleveland
81 Pi;tsburg. Cleveland IL Mahoning,
Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati IL
Central Ohio, Pitts, Fort Wayne AZ Chi

The following Roads will convey pas
sengers at half the usual rates Of fair, and
stock and other articles at half the usual
rates of freight: Bellefontaine and Indi-
ana, Cincinnati and Indianapolis-:he
latter IN special trains only.
The Covington & Lexington Road
will transport stock, ect., at half the
usual rates of freight: but will charge
the usual rates for passengers. Exhibit
crs sill find it much to their advantage
to have their stock and other heavy arIi
cles on the ground the week preceding
the Fair. The principal railroads have
heretofore as a general thing, taken the
trains of the roads during the
but if the articles are shipped the
preceding week, they will be sure to be
there in time, and better arrangements
can be made for their exhibition.
The hotel accommodations of Cincin-

MES. Committees have also been ap-
to direct visitors to boarding and

The Ohio Life & Trust Compapv.

Many umo are rife as 10 the cause
Of lis failure The principal reason al
legged, AMI the most probable one, is IFS
connection with some heavy loans which
had been advanced TO some Western
Railroads, among others the Cleveland
and Pittsburg Railroad Company.
The Cleveland Herald says: Although
the first news of the failure of the Ohio
Life and Trust Company seemed to be a
blow which would more severely iniure
Ohio than any other section, we are sat
isied that such failure viii bring less
real disaster here than elsewhere. Our
Banks are so strong, their circulation
and this is the great secret of Ohio's
present ability to meet this trials so
secure that fear do S not reach the
masses.
The N. Y. Times says: The liabilities
of the Ohio Life Insurance & Trust Com
papy, are estimated at from SIS, 600, 900
to $685. 00. About 100000 of
checks paid out by the New York agen-
cy on Saturday and Monday are unpaid.
Messrs. Brown, Bros. g. Co., and others
have placed an attachment upon the as
sets of the Company here for a foreign
corporation and the shesiff and his depu-
ties are in charge Of the Office and prop
erty.
The President states in a card, that the
capital of the Company. 50. 000, 600 is
sound and reliable, exclusive of such
losses as many arise from the insufficient
cy of securities of loans made by the
Company.
The Cincinnati Times of Saturday
sars that The feeling there is improving.
The sales of the checks or the Trust
Company are few, bring 5000 and 90
cents on the dollar, and that the large
creditors of the Company seem to have
desire 10 dispose Of their debts.

ton. The urgent necessity of regular physical

and mind, as well rs for preserving the sans in
healthful condition, has been engaging the at
tention Of public instructors and writers on by
giene for many years; and such exercise is looked
upon as an important consideration in the edu-
cation of youth. The object is a commemorate
one, and if rightly managed, las We have no

beneficial and remunerative. The thanks of the
