From the Syracuse Standard Jan. OIL
As portion of readers, the Chenango IN. W
Union, have "feelng' in the history Of the Hamilton
Exchange Bank, We propose TO give slight sketch OF one
q the operations by which got up. On he 2ist OF
bscember the two bonds and mortgages given by frede
rick HOLSTER and wife to Theodore c. Granns, on lands at
Washington Mills, Oneida county for SO 600 each, were

much Of the capital stock Of the bank but II their
actual value only about ten per cent Of the amount
they be made to represent $40 600 The answer tMs
The land mortgsged consisted Of farm OF about mae
tecn acres with three frame buildings, situated at wash
ington Mills. Now this land in bulk with the buildings,
may be- or might have been at the time the mortgages
sisted in dividing up into village lots, in all numbering
Mty seven We have before The original map Of the
land divided and really presents very picturesque
appearance. On the north, running east ana west 10
street appropriately named Broadway From this street
south Stanton street. HOLSTER street, washington
street, Mill street, and Clinton street on the west runs
from Broadway southwest, while connecting Clinton
with Stanton street School lane and Hill street. On
NE east sadequada creek looms up into the dimensions Of
the Hudson. The lots, hy seven in pumber, laid out
upon these streets, consist of half an acre each.
Now is evident that the operations Of Messrs Fred
HOLSTER Theo Grannis could not have been successful
without the aid of appraisers swearing 70 tne correct
of their appraisal The gentlemen who offclated
m Mis- capacity as appears BY the original appraisal and and
f. w. GraDnis They certify these lots to be worth var
prices, from $3.50 up to 81 0oomang an aggregate
Of $40 and swear in their affidavit that in their opinion
each Of these lots is worth cash the opposite the
description thereof. r. .. .
With the report and affidavit Of these appraisers the
mortgages received for $40 000 leaving nice little
margin Of SIG 900 by way Of security to the bill holders
Bat, strange it may seem, when these city lots come
~ valued by sale of the mortgages no confidence man
can be found who will give over 81 900 for them Had
they brought one half their face, the bills would have
been redeemed at par but it is they redeemed at
