ST. ALBANs, Jan. 4.-The sing dis
appearance of Mr.. Hubbell, the cashier
OF the Wississquoi Bank, Sheldon, VT,
Is at last accounted for! He turns out
to be a defsnlter in a large sum. The
amount is stated as high as So, 200. HIS
have been so covered by false entries
and false footings as to elude OBSERVE
ton until yesterday. The accounts of
the office at the bank have to-day been
examined by competent accountants, and
the assets are believed to be SUFFICIENT
for the redemption Of the bills. The
bill holders are so advised. Hubbell is
reported to have been fast and ex-
travagant liver, his expenses exceeding
those of almost any man inCFranklin
county. His whereabouts are still un-
known by the officers of the bank.
