The leading financial institution in the
United States is the United States Assist
ant Treasury at New York. Though it
is only an assistant treasury, and the
treasury, proper is at Washington, yet
the transactions of the former are so vast
ly greater in volume than those Of the
latter, that the chief work Of the Wash
ington Office is keeping record of the work
done by the New York branch. Nine
teen twentieths Of the public creditors arc
paid here nearly all of the public
loans are disposed of here the far
greater part Of the revenue from GUS
toms and taxes is received here and
here is paid, on the days fixed by law,
the interest on two billion dollars Of Uni
ted States securities. A business OF from
three to ten million dollars is done here
daily-done quickly. quietly, and with
ont errors or disputes.
The vaults are sights which cannot be
witnessed elsewhere in the country
There are two Of them but one is com

ten million dollars. The other contains
over sixty million dollars, one-half in
coin, the other halt in paper. How
many readers have ever seen million
dollars in paper or gold? We remember
one of the oldest of our judges, a man of
large experience and profound wisdom,
interrupting party of takers who were
chattering about million of dollars in
gold, with the native questions
How big is million of gold ? Would
it rest on this table? Would it go un-

The Dead Come to Life.

The Reading Gazette says, singular
case has just come to light in the Regis
ter's Office of Berks county. A citizen
OF North Heidelberg township, who SER
we'd during the war in Company b, 55th
Penna. Volunteers, was reported dead
aud buried. His supposed widow drew
his bounty money, and proceeded to
LEGAL settlement OF his estate. He left
will, which was proved, and Letters Tes-
tamentary issued To the Executor But,
to the surprise of all parties, the dead
man returned home about ten days ago,
alive and well Fortunately matters had
not gone so far as to render his appear
ance lnconvenlent to any ohe SO that
nothing was necessary but to revoke the
Letters Testamentary and withdraw the
will A similar case, it is believed, has
never occurred in this country.

Onc of the greatest engineering, scientific
and mechanical feats in the country is now
being performed at Cornwall, in Lebanon
county Ii is no less than the building of a
spiral railway around and TO the top of the
great Iron ore mountain. 1t starts from the
level of the Cornwall Railroad, and revolves
around the mountain, at some places over
irusse work, at others over high embank-
ments, and again at others through ponder
Gus cuts in the solid body of iron ore, until
it reaches the very top of the mountain. A
great part of the way is completed, a
greater part is ready for the sils, while the
rest is progressing actively. A powerful
locomotive has been obtained TO do The work
OF moving the trains, which is already at
Cornwall ready for work. The spiral road,
proper, when completed, will be over two
miles in length, and at work the equal of
which cannot be found probably in the
world.

The translateable loss caunot be far infe-

Eight additional disasters are recorded in

ACCIDENTS AT LARGE-ExPLosIoNs
The chapter of miscellaneous accidents
takes in great variety Of calamities. such
as death from the incavation of walls,
/ wharves and embank ments, burning, in
founderies and elsewhere, crushing be-
tween cars, being run over and run away
with, and from shooting, cutting, and
poisoning by prescription, all of which
causes convey standard warning to socie-
ty and the individual to be on guard
Seventy mortal cases of this class of acci-
dent were reported, and 20 where inju-
ries were sustained. There were beside
eight explosions of boilers and magazines,
several Of which were particularly fright
full in their shock and damage. Count
ing these by steamboat and rail, there
were altogether 27 severe explosions, fol-
lowed by great loss of life general, and
enormous loss in the case of the Sultana
DISASTER IN MASS.
To recapitulate there have beeu with
in six months, 13l accidents to travel by
land and water, wherein were 32 coils
ions and l9 explosions; and about $50
accidents of all kinds, outside OF the area
of ruins belonging simply to fires.
THE AREA OF CoNFLAGRATION.
Even in this respect the last half year
seems to have been otherwise than ordi-
nary. One hundred and fifty FIVE fires
between April and Oct. Is make no in
significant item in our business account
of loss by accident. 1n six months up to
September we count l52
These fires, too, reveal startling figures,
and make a light whereby the CONNER
cal world may read The loss in 20 fires
for the last 40 days was $6,000,000, in
25 fires, where each loss Was 500, 600 or
upward, Sl60O0,000 in 10 fires for five
months s19,270,000; aud altogether,
about s30,000,O00, which estimate
mate to be as near the truth as it is posi-
bic to arrivo with the present available
date.
Half dozen great fires combined to
swell these losses, cEicf among which |
were those in the Petroleum regions; Sl0,- |
600. 900 by the destruction of Government |
works in Tennessee So, ,000,O00 by the
large warehouse conAagration in New
York, S500,000 by that of Massachusetts,
and amounts OF $500 900 and
$500, 900 by burning elsewhere.
Losses over SIS, 100000 by fires that
occurred between the middle of May and
October.
To recapitulate fair calculation from
the foregoing would place the entire dam
age to property by disasters of public
character at about Eighty Millions. Rob
berries may be set down at about Twenty
Millions more
We have thus given fair glimpse of a
field of statistics, which, if not inviting,
appears necessary, at all events, to the
public knowledge. Such statistics are
painful, but are not without a certain high
usefulness and even philosophy, which
should commend them especially to the
census takers in these days of social sci
ence and statistics.-N Y. Tribune.

MISCHIEF MAKERS.

Oh could there in this world be found
Some little spot of happy land,
Where village pleasures might go round
Without the village tattling2
How doubly blest that place would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty
OF Gossip's endless pFattling.
If such spot were really known,
Dame Peace might claim il as her own,
And in it she might fix her throne
Forever and forever;
There like a queen might reign and live,
Where every one would soon forgive
The little Sights they might receive,
And be offended never
The mischicf-ma kers that remove
Far from our hearts The warmths of love,
And lead US all TO disapprove
What gives another pleasure
They seem TO take ones part, but when
They've heard our case, unkindly then
They soon retail them all again,
Mixed with poisonous measure.
And they have such cunning way
or telling tales. They say:
"DOn't mention what say, pray;
would not tell another"
Straight to their neighbor's house they 60,
Narra,ing every thing thsy know,
And break The peace of high and low
Wife, husband, friend and brother.
o! that the mischief making crew
Were all reduced TO one or two,
And they were painted red or blue!
That everyone might know them;
Then would village soon forget
To rage and quarrel, fuEIe and fret,
And fall into an angry pet
With things 10 much below than.
Fer it's sad, derading part,
To make another's bosom smart,
And plant q dagger in the heart
We ought 10 love and cherish;
Then let US eyernore be ioand
In quietness whith all around,
While friendship, peace and JOY sbound,
And angry feelings perish.

OF the proportion of crimes in general,
it is scarcely possible to arrive at conclu-

twenty cases Of nanieless outrage-a class
of crime which seldom invites record
were printed in the last six months. Gu
rious and monstrous among other fagran-
cies were the placing Of turpedoes on
rairoad, an attempt to throw train OF
the track, the burning of three houses by
girl fourteen years old, polygamy to the
extent of ten wives by man who after
ward hanged himself, and in another case
to the number of four; highway robbery
