SURPRISE PARTY.-Bev. A. W. Pottle, of
the Methodist Church in Saccarappa, was
taken entirely by surprise on Friday evening
last. Perhaps it should, the rather, be said that
himself and wife were greatly surprised to find
that their house had been taken complete DOS
session of by members of his society and 9th.
ers. Being on social visit in the neighbor-
hood, word was sent that gentleman and
lady were at their house desiring to see them.
There was indeed gentleman and lady in
waiting, but as the greater includes the less,
ladies not few and gentlemen also were
there, enough comfortably to fill the rooms, all
ENJOYING themselves In social converse or mer-
~ song. -s a 9fE
After pretty general and somewhat face
tious introduction, Mr.. Neal, in behalf OF the
visitors, formally addressed the pastor, admit

dered themselves legally liable, by thus enter
ing his premises, but pleading that no suit
might be instituted, as they were ready to
compromise the matter by the prompt pay
Inent OF all reasonable damages. He then
nahaeu the pastor the sum of $185, accom-
panying the presentation with happy illusions

and people. :.

FINANCIAL TROUBLE IN BosToN-There was
great excitement in Boston on Saturday, occa-
stoned by certain financial transactions, in
which the Cashier of the State Bank seems to
have been mixed up. 1t was announced on
Friday afternoon that the broker and banking
firm of Mellen, Ward & Co. had suspendt d.
and as they had operated largely in copper
stocks the effect on the market was felt Satur-
day, especially in Copper Falls which sold on
Friday at "a and Saturday declined to %.
On Saturday it was ascertained that this fail
ure had brought to light Irregularities which
implicated large number of persons and in
volved several of the banks in heavy losses. 1t
was stated on the street that Mr.. Julius F. Hart
well, Cashier of the Sub-Treasury, obtained on
certain gold certificates large amount of
money, which he deposited in the Merchants
Bank. He subsequently, withdrew this amount,
which is stated to reach over five hundred thou
sand dollars, by depositing check certified by
Charles FL. Smith, Cashier of the State Bank.
Saturday the check held by the Merchants
Bank was presented to the State Bank, when
it was refused payment on the ground that no
entry of the transaction appeared on the books.
The Merchants Bank still hold the check and
'he question of responsibility will be settled
hereafter. Mr. Smith resigned his position and
his resignation was accepted.
IL is stated that the cash account of the Sub
treasury IS correct, and it is rumored that the
gold checks which were made the basis of the
transaction in the first place were either nm.
cancelled checks which had been paid or were
fraudulently used Mr. Julius f. Hartwe,, -
is reported, has been relieved at the Sub-Trea.
sury.
Mr. Carter, of the firm of Mellen, Ward g.
Co., is director of the Newton Bank, which
is said to be sufferer, but to what amount is
not known. e..
The effect ON State street of this startling
expose was very marked. Many rumors were
current regarding the losses of other banks,
put they are Of very inc0nsiderable amounts.
IL mas not been ascertained what became of
INC eoia checks but as the cash at the Sub
,feasory is right, it is to be presumed they are
n0iu ny innocent parties who have advanced
money, accepting them as security
IL is stated when the check of Mo,,o,, Vel
q Co. was first offered at the MERCHANTS, Ri

the securities. These were carried e. a. c.,

formed that certificate of deposit would be
sent to the State Bank in the morning. On
making demand for it, Mr. Smith was inform.
ed that there was nothing in the Sub Treasury
to the credit of the Bank.
The Second National Bank (Granite) has
one of the checks to the amount of $4,000.
1t is reported that Mr.. Carter has been ar
rested, and it is also stated that the loss of the
rirse National Bank of Newton is SO heavy

1t was reported by telegraph on Saturday
that the LIST National Bank at Hudson, New
York, had failed in consequence of operations
of the Cashier, who had used the funds of the
institution for stock,jobbing transactions.
Some contemplate democrats in the 18th Ward
In this city made use of the intelligence about
the Hudson Bank and its Cashier, to circulate
it in their Ward, altering the Bank to the LIST
National in this city, and the Cashier to VIM
+. Gould, Esq, who is a candidate for Council
man in that Ward. A baser act and one more
filed with falsehoods could not have been ut
tered, either as it respects the Bank or its
Cashier. The story is a fabrication from begin
ming to end, and We hope the wretches who
started it will be discovered and brought to
justice. The Bank has not lost dollar, and
the integrity of its Cashier stands upon the
frmest foundation. 100 s'.5
We hope sense of honest justice will in
duce the voters of Ward to frown Indignantly
upon such ISLANDERS by appearing at the polls
to-day and voting for Mr.. Gould.

John s. narrow, Esq, has retiT ed from the
SUPPLEMENTARY of this Company, with the
intention, it is understood, of 'devoting his
whole time to the interests OF the Eagle Sugar
Refinery. His superior mechani cal ability has
been employed for the benefit of the Compa-
ny for many years, his service dating back to
nearly the commencement of the undertake
ing. -..---
Mr.. George F. Morse succeeds Mr.. Sparrow
as Superintendent of the works. He has had
fifteen years experience in the office of the
Company, and it is believed that his energy,
skill, promptness and urbanity will tend much
towards the future success of fine Corporation.
Col. Thomas Lincoln Casey leaves the posi-
ton OF Treasurer and General Manager, his
term OF furlough from the Government hav-
ing expired; and he resumes his place as Uni
ted States Engineer, having charge of Forts
Preble and SCANNED. Much to the pleas ure
of his many friends, he is to be stationed here,
as formerly, and it is earnestly hoped that
Government will always employ his efficient
services in this locality where he is so highly
esteemed.
We understand that Col. Casey has been
now vacates, though occupying it less than a
year. The Directors consented with great re-
luctance to his resignation of the office, and
only accepted it when they found he could not
be prevailed upon to retain it. Hon. Jacob
Mcclellan has been elected to the Office of
Treasurer and General Manager, in place of
Col. Casey. We congratulate the Company
in securing the services of Capt. Mcclellan. 1t
is unnecessary to say to the community what
his qualifications are. His indomitable ener-
gy, his sterling integrity and his long expert
ence as business man are too well bnown.--
His course as Mayor of the city during the
most trying years of the rebellion, entities him
to the gratitude of our citizens, and the same
qualities which he exhibited there, will, we
doubt not, help to bring success to the Com
pany now.
