The city was startled yesterday by report
which speedily obtained vide circulation, that
serious defalcations had been discovered in the
Agency of the Gore Bank, ut London, G. w.
BY telegraphic dispatches received during the
course Of the day, rumor was changed into Ger.
tAinty, and information was received Of the
absconding Of the teller, Mr.. Lucas; suspicion
Of grave character was thrown upon another
officer connected with the institution.
From private information received yesterday
evening, we learn that the accounts Of the
Savings Bank and the Building Association are
all correct; but the county Of Middlesex, Of
which Mr.. Street was treasurer, and the Gore
Bank are heavy losers.
Speculations in Goderich and Toronto are
6sid to have been the cause of this unfortunate
event. Toronto Colonist, Sept. 70.

LET THERE BE NO SECRET IN MEDICINE, or
rather no pretended secrets. The Medical Fac.
ulty publish soon made, all their discover.
les, and almost all that is known OF real value
for the cure of disease, has been discovered BY
them. Dr.. AVER takes the honorable honest
course, and right because it is honest. He
goes to work and invents the hest remedy which
medical skill can devise for the cure of certain
complaints; then publishes what it is and main.
tains his monopoly of it solely by making it
cheaper, better, more perfect, than anybody
else can. II the people would exact this of all
who offer medicines, they would have much less
treacle and trash to swallow.-[N. o. Organ.

It reminds Us of an illustration in one of
Hoods works, representing man sitting as.

~ The good book informs Us that the ami.
NAL world has intelligence enough 70 know ito
benefactors; even the OF knows his masters
corn crib. Why then should we expect that
man, endowed with reason, even in the lowest
grades Of intellectual and moral Development,
should fall behind the brutes tits not so with
Steward of the Gazette. He loses no opportu-
nifty Of showing his gratitude to Hem, viii
liams Go. He has existed upon the bounty Of
the house, and it is proper and fitting that he
should on all occasions show his gratitude
But we would simply suggest to the gentleman
that in his attempt TO ingratiate himself into
their graces By championship, he has laid
his principals open to just censure, and brought
their affairs before the public for discussion.
And that some Of these matters will not bear
the light. HEM, Williams 4 Co. lent their
name and became stockholders in the Omaha
Bank. Their reputed wealth gave credit and
currency to the issues Of this bank. But now,
after very brief career, it goes under with
circulation Of $4,000, moatly in the pockets
of the people Of Iowa. And nov we are
abused by this posy Of the Gazette for censur-
ing Hem, Williams 4 Co. on account Of their
connection with this exploded bank. They
were stockholders to the amount of $1,000,
and Of course parties to swindle, and We. this
Steward, one Of their dirty tools and pension
ers, presumes to bestow his vile abuse upon US
for merely mentioning the circumstance! Has
It come to this, that men who commit robbery
by wholesale-that men who are guilty Of the
most high.handed Wholesale robbery upon soci,
ETY.. are to enjoy immunity from censure9-
HEM, Williams g. Co. furnish the money and
monied character for q bank which 10 started
in the Territory Of Nebraska for the purpose of
furnishing currency to the people OF Iowa.
1t loans out $4,000 to $4,000 to its irresponsi-
Bile officers, upon straw bail, and then goes un-
der. The bankers are the pluckers-the peo-
Pile the plucked. But says the Gazette man,
Hem, Williams l. Co. have, rs required by the
bank charter, taken up s6,5Oo-the amount of
their stock-of the notes of this bank, and thus
fulfilled all their legal requirements!
Now we propose to let public opinion decide
this matter. We do not know either of the
gentlemen who comprise this firm, and there
fore have no personal animosity to crafty. 1t
is not reasonable to suppose that political con-
siderations should influence us as neither OF
these gentlemen are now candidates for Office.
We believe we have stated correctly the nature |
Of their connection with this rotten bank. Let |
public opinion decide where the blame lies
Let them decide who it is that has been guilty |
of robbery. Our opinion is that Hem, Will
Jams l. Co will stop the barking Of their sense
ess cur at once, and not allow him to provoke
my further discussion upon this subject.

by the wind. Her course down the stream was

notwithstanding the suggestion by some ner-
vous individual to let stones at her, which sug-
gestion- vas mot followed, for fear Of further
damage. The Floating Palace was then towe d
up the river by the Flint Hills Il would have
been better to have sent her about ten or fif.

GOLD DISCOVERIES Indians have lately
discovered gold in klamath Lake. There is
doubtless an immense auriferous region
thereabouts which has as yet scarcely been
developed, far less worked by the few min
ers who have penetrated those distand fast
nesss. The warlike character of the Pitt,
and other Indian tribes in that section of
country, has heretofore deferred this enter
prising class of our population from pros
pecting' it, but now that Uncle Sans troops
have brought the savages under subjectiOn,
we may anticipate that the klamath Lake
region will soon 6ll up with men who will
develop its rich resources.

The EARTHQUAKE.-Ofth the recent earth
quake that was felt at San Francisco the
Herald says:
The older among the native Californians
relate that they have experienced shocks
that have overturned the one story adobe
buildings, with walls three feet thick. and
shake their heads ominously at our four and
five story brick buildings, with 18 inch walls.
There is also tradition among the Digger
Indians, to the OBJECT that many years ago,
their fathers inhabited this portion of the
State, and that thousands of them were des-
troyed by an earthquake, during which the
waters of the bay rose and submerged the
country for many miles around. They also
also state, that at the time in question, the
formations of the land and bay were very
different from what they now are, and that
owing to the terrible destruction of so large
a number of their tribe, by the sudden ris-
ing of the waters. they have ever since
avoided the sea coast, and resided far in the
interior.
