The Late Forgerics-Furthcr Devc-
1Onments.


1t is believed that tho full amount
OF the forgeries of John Ross. the
Wall street broker, an account of
which appeared in the Tribune, of
Friday, will amount to about $4OO.
600. The loss of David Groesbeck
Il Co., of No. 30 Broad street, is now
claimed by the firm to be only $19.-
600, they having loaned that amount
to Ross on the spurious Michigan
Central Railroad bonds. Otherwise.
the account which appeared in the
Tribune was substantially correct.
The losses, so far MS ascertained.
are rs follows: David Groesbeck &
Co., $40, 900; Cronise & Co., Sc, ,G62:
Black & Spaulding. Sea, 1876; the
Union Bank, $l20, 600; the Continen-
tai Bank, $50, 900. Total, 1865, 797.
The twenty bonds of tho Michigan
Central Railroad Company, held by
Groesbeck Il Co., which were left by
l'oss as security for the repayment of
money loaned by them to him, are
not positively known to have been
forged, although it is believed that
such is the case. The Union Bank
also holds twenty Of the same descrip-
ton of bonds these, too, having
been deposited by Ross.
1T Is not known that any other
bank Or firm beside the above have
been victimized, and in any case it is
believed that the entire amount can
not exceed 100000.
The strangest phase of the whole
affair is the fact that, Of all those who
trusted Ross to such an unlimited
amount, not 4 single person knew
him Intimately, or had the most dis
tant idea what We're his resources.
He operated heavily, paid the de-
mands on him just long enough to
let his name be we'll known upon the
street, and then, having victimized
nll his leading business associates. de-
camped with the proceeds.
1T IS believed that Ross has had this
object steadily III view sine, June
last, when he first made his appear
ancc npon the street. and, to carry
out his scheme successfully, employ
ed one or more confe,lerates.
The detectives are busily engaged
upon the case, but decline to give any
information.

LAuRENs DISTRICT. The Herald,

LAURENs DISTRICT. The Herald,
talking of sale-day, says:
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
condition Of the weather, the streets
presented the usual attraction of
crowds of visitors from the country,
from Il number of whom we hear the,
at present, common complaint of too
much rain and cool weather, so much
SO that fears are entertained of rust
taking the wheat. Never was there a
better prospect for an abundant crop,
and We trust still that no serious re-
suit will ensue to cut it short. AS to
the general crops, their future Sic
cess or yield, not much can be said,
owing to the unre.lability Of labor;
time alone will prove the problem,
whether the lnDorer will work to the
end.

ANDERSON G.. H., S.

The CRors. papers of South
ern Georgia, and correspondents
from that section, are much elated at
the prospect for good crops of grain
and fruit in that section Of the State.
1t is the general opinion that not
more than half cotton crop will be
made. Reports from Northern and
Middle Georgia are also very encour-
aging. 1t seems that Heaven is about
to smile on our efforts, and in that
event we can well afford to let Sum
ner rave, Stephens howl and Wade
blaspheme.
