@Ns Cdroliaa
This banking Institution o. the State was compelled by
unavoidable circumstances suspend this forenoon
good deal of excitement the announcement of the
fact, pervades our community There is, however no
just cause of panic-such panic will induce an un-
necessary run on the other banks The beray of this
bank in accommodating the people, when neither funds
nor currency could be obtained from other quarters had
SO extended its discount circulation lines that when
the other banking institutions insisting on constant dis
charges CT balances in spese between them-an unwse
and mcongruous measure at this crisis-made press
upon it, its suspension became Inevitable
The note-holders and depositors need not however
apprehend any loss unless in their panic they choose
sacrifice their securities The immediate liability on
bills and depostes is about million and half This
is but small proportion Of the of the bank which
are unquestionabe. Its discount line of promissory
notes, its bonds, its exchange, its stocks &c. all Of
which are reazable in limited period are nearly tre-
BILE those liabilities In addition the amplitude of the
assets and the general soundnes of the bank the State

SHOCK OF EARTHQUAKES AT ST. LOUIS.

About twenty minutes past four o'clock on Thursday
morning severe shock of earthquake experienced
in St. Louis, as also in the surrounding vicnies and
many miles on the Illinois side Towards midnight of
Wednesday moisture began pervade the atmosphere
and finally somewhat of dew was formed. This did
not increase in density until about half past two o'clock
IN Inc morning. when fog began to gather over the city
and superseded the dew 1t grew gradually thicker and
thicker until about twenty minutes past feur when Ito
give the words of officers MeMeans and fellow oficerl
they heard loud rumbling noise They jumped up and
had scarcely reached their feet before they amazed
at the shaking ofthe ground beneath feet that they
could scarcely stand The windows of the houses on
both sides of the street clattered loudly in their frames
the blinds few open and popped the heads of
OF people IN their night dresses who occupied the houses
great number out of the houses alarmed at the
cllation OF the BEDS windows and furniture in their
rooms and the cry of earthquake broke the silence
that otherwise regned at this early hour the morning
We may state that the evidences just narrated were
experienced by the people all over the city Upon
pairing all the accounts together it is apparent that the
shock proceeded from the southwest and travelled
along Parties describe it coming up from the river
west, from which point it felt most severely. At
Meramec, and all points below the river, it very
acutey felt Persons eeming in from there state that
the time of the shock the noise resembed at moment
the rumbling induced by steam endeavoring to escape
through muf1ed apparatus and at another as though
vehicles heavily laden with mufled wheels were being
drawn with speed over cobblestone road The latter
sound was heard in this city. At Merameo it pitch
dark at the tme and the people very much alarmed
and ran out of the houses There likewise strong
smell OF sulphur.
In consequence of the early hour of the morning very
little was known of what the outside effects were but
in regard to the inside they are visible in many
parts Plaster has fallen from the ceilings locked doors
were unlocked and thrown OPEN bricks knocked down,
beds and furniture displaced The Missouri Hotel and
many buildings in the vicinity described to by
of the boarders to have rocked very nearly like
cradle, and large number of them quickly arose from
their beds in alarm About eight minutes after the first
shock second shock, which was felt all over the
city, but was not strong the first although very
percepble The first shock is stated by old citizens Of
ST. Louis to have been than any other which
has occurred since 1911, when the great earthquake
which destroyed Caracas and other cities in Central
America extended itself to St Louis New Ma
drd, where the property all destroyed and large
number of lives lost That earthquake also did cosi-
derable damage to st. Louis.-S. Louis Neos

Maj Cullen Indian superintendent with Senator Fitch
and Docts Evers and Daniels of Indiana arrived at ST.
Peter the 23d instant from the Upper Sioux Agency The
Major informs that the Indians at the Upper Agency
are doing extremely WE'LL and are in fine condition He
found them remarkably friendly, SO much so that he
made soldiers of them rather made guards of them to
keep order and did not have single soldier of the
United States troops duty during the payment which
he accomplished the entire satisfaction of the Indians
This band have the present year large surplus of

bushels potatoes and 4o0 barrels of corn The
Indians around Red Pipe Stone Quarry and Big Stone
Lake are generally doing well. They have plenty of
buffalo this year the Sioux river and around Big Stone
Lake which they have taken in great abundance They
are we'll fed and feel well disposed toward the Govern
ment The Major says he has never known them so
well pleased as at the present time The idea that the
Indians starving unfriendly to the Govern
ment the settlers, is without any foundation what
ever Dr. Daniels who resides with the Indians of the
Upper Sioux Agency concurred in the statement of Maj
