Seneca County BGnk and the Canal

ment came into power, honesty and
strict accountability was promised.
The Treasurer Of State, A. p. Stone
gave notice far and wide that the
above notes would be taken for ta@SS
thus creating a credit that could be
had in no other way, and causing the
notes to be circulated into eyery nook
and corner Of tie State. Suddenly
Stone gives notice he will receive no
more Seneca County or Canal Bank
notes, and the curtain falls with 20 or
$50, 900 OF the worthless trash in the

Now what business has the Treas
urer of Ohio with giving credit to bro
ken banksl What Law or public pol
icy guided his circular, and who paid

every County Tre&ruror, putting into

telegraphic dispatch in yesterdays
Enquirer, to the effect that the Dem
ocrats had elected their State Printer,
Transfer Agent and other officers IN
Indiana, was most unexpected but
gratifying news. The Opposition at
tho commencement Of the session,
through Democratic divisions, elected
all the officers of the organization,
and We supposed they would carry
every thing throughout. 1t seems
Democrats have seen the folly flight
ing ono another, and all meeting to-
gether without regard to past divis-
ions, elected all the importa mt State
officers, greatly TO the chragiR and as
tonishment of the Republicans. This
united action in Indiana of both d.
visions Of the Democratic party is
most encouraging sign of the future.

good performance for the trifling admit
lance fee of 80 cents. Madame Bosco trusts
TO the liberality of the public to secure her

ceedings.
Tonight, some one will get fine gold
watch, a silver watch, a fine silk dress, or
some valuable jewelry, for the sum Of 30
cents. Every one will have the pleasure Of
witnessing some of the most surprising feats
of legerdemain it was ever their fOrtueu TO
see. The gold watch was awarded, last
night, to Mrs. Larue, lady who resides on

The Palmer, Mass, Journal gives an ac-
count Of an occurrence in that town, a few
days ago, that ended in IA very exciting
scene:
Several young ladies got into q small
boat fastened to the shore of a pond just
above a mill-dan. In rocking and pushing
the boat around, the fastening became loos-
ened, and they drifted out into the stream
In a moment they saw their peril Before
them was the brink of high dam, at the
brink of which were jagged rocks, over
which the water boiled and foamed with
destructive fury. The cries of the young
ladies drew together hundreds of spectators,
who WATCHED with fearful anxiety the boat
drifting slowly towards the edge of the

was extremely doubtful whether he could

A Mysterious lady Chess Player.
The New York correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Mercury, in notice of Morphy,
the great chess PLAYER, says queer incident
occurred to him soon after his arrival in
New York. \ carriage drove to the St.
Nicholas, in which was seated Il splendidly
dressed lady. She sent up a card and
requested an interview with the chess
champion. The interview was grant
ed, when the fair visitor demanded the
privilege of plar;Tg n game with Mr..
Norphy. Mr.. N,rphv looked Mt the
magnificent eyes + the stranger, al said,
"Yes, certainly The chess table was
brought to the window, and Mr. Morphy
placed the men The lady, Of course, was
permitted the hrst move. Half dozen
moves were made on either side, and Nor
ply found himself interested-his visitor
promised to prove the most formidable an
tagoniSt he had had for a long time.
Being absorbed in the game, Morphy di-
rected the servant to admit no one else until
it was completed. The game lasted two
hours and was dram. The lady was then
satisfied, and blushingly took her leave,
Morphy himself accompanying her to her
carriage The moment she had gone. Nor
ply and his friends set TO work To ascertain
the identity of their beautiful visitor, not
doubting that the name upon her card could
be found in the directory. This, however,
proved TO lie a mistake, and though every
endeavor was made to ascertain precisely
who was the visitor, the : htlemen are in
the dark as much is ever. WhOevel she
may be, she played the best game \ which
MOrphy was q contestant, and she probably
adopted these means of matching herself
with Morphy in order to assure herself OF
her own skill.
