chant Of Evansville for fifteen years,
and we'll known there; and SAMUEL
GwYN. formerly of the old Louisville
house of GARvIN, BELL & Co., and
intimately acquainted with the mer-
chants of the Ohio Valley. Their
many friends will be glad to know
that they are already enjoying fine
business, which is rapidly growing,
and that they possess the confidence of
the mercantile public of New York.
The office of Warts. CRANE & Co.,
is still open on Broad Street, and
the members Of the firm are giving
close attention to the settlement of
their vast business, which not long ago
involved them In endorsements, af-
fecting the commercial relations OF a
large circle Of merchants, bankers,
and planters in America and Eng
land. I learn from gentlemen who
are in situation to know, that the
aspect of affairs is continually inn
proving, and that they hope to liqui-
date their obligations in much more
satisfactory manner than was at one
time feared. The maay Evansville
and Western friends of Mr.. ISAAC A.
CRANE, one of the members of the
firm, and for years merchant of Ev-
ansville, will regret to learn that he
has for few weeks been seriously
sick, but is now much better, though
not yet able to attend to business.
Mr.. VIM. HUBBELL, who left be-
hind him in Evansville SO many warm
friends, makes his headquarters in
New York. He is living in one of
the neighboring towns in New Jersey,
but has his Office with LOCKWOOD &
Co., the bankers. As he always did !,
he takes the world and New York life
easy and good-naturedly, and though
not over crowded with business, keeps
himself in a position to take advan-
tage of the ups and downs of Wall
Street and the Boards.
I dropped in upon the money spec
ulators of the Gold Room yesterday,
and while half bewildered with the
wild screaming and excitement around
me, l came across r. 0. READ, lit
tie READ" as the ladies called him /,
formerly of the firm of HOPKINS &
READ, of our place. READ looks
none the worse for the wear +" Of the
ups a nd downs of fortune which he
has experienced, and possesses all the
vivacity of his palmy Evansville days.
He is apparently at home in the Gold
Room, and an active participant in it's
operations. Ii IS said he has been
quite successful, and has accumulated
snug fortune here.
p. VAUTIER of the old hat and fur
house of VAUTIER Il MARCoNNIER is
making his home in this city, not,
however, believe, actively engaged
| In business.
Mr.. MAIN, who was for sometime
clerk in the old Branch Bank, now
Evansville Nationalsis here, operat-
ing as Cotton and general Broker.
He had in some of5his Operations
during the been quite lucky, and
counted his money by the tens of
thousands at least, but downward
turn of the wheel is said to have re-
.versed his fortune But he is active,
attentive, and young, and may see
a realization Of his prosperity again.
I have not seen anything of our
old legal friend, W. K. MCGREw,
who was for time in the Herald
office Some person here reported
him as having gone, back to Cali
| fornia.
Brig-G PITCHER, the son of
the venerable Judge PITCHER, of Mt.
Vernon, was in the city yesterday.
He is now holding the responsible
and honorable position of Superin-
tendent of the Military Academy at
| West Point.
