wounded a few days before the surrender.
Permission was asked to let Boyd remain I'M
til the two could scout the road toward Rich

and Booths companions galloped off. Booth
slept in the house that night with two lads.
At dinner next day one of the family men

arrest Of Booth. What happened then Gar
rett relates follows Boyd locked up

couple Of Chinese piano covers deliberately embroi-
dered, valued at one thousand dollars each. It
struck us that their purchasers, should they ever
find any, would be afflicted with more money than
brains.

posts under the impression that the carriers will

/ They are never touched until the rag and paper
gaherers take them up and carry them to dealers in
those articles. On an afternoon we have seen not
less than three bushels Of papers, carefully sealed
and duly stamped, piled on these boxes, which, al
most as soon as they were deposited, q chiGonnter

SATURDAY, July Il-6 r. M.
The bears on the stock Exchange have been cir
cuIatng exaggerated reports all day relative to the
extent OF the forged alterations OF certificates az
stock which have been made by one II. Hoyt, whose
frauds we have referred to on former occasions
Altered certificates have been discovered OF Michi
gan Southern, Fort Wayne and Pacific Mail stock;
but although certificates for small amounts Of Ceve
land and Pttsburg, New York Central Erie and
Rock Island are supposed to have passed into the
hands OF the f0rger there Is far as we have been
enabled to learn conclusive evidence as yet that
they have been altered and foisted upon any one;
and will probably be found that although the ope.
ratons Of the forger have been more extensive and
successful than was at first supposed they are by no
means as serious rumT would make
believe. The stock market was somewhat un
settled by the reported fresh discoveries OF
these frauds, and general although not i'm.
pOrtant decline in prices took place. but there is
reason to believe that their full effect has been
already felt, and that sharp rally will succeed in
the beginning of the ensuing week. Money lenders
showed no distrust OF their coaterals where the
borrowers were well known, and loans were made
at a per cent on call. Some discrimination is
however, made against weak and unknown bOr-
rOwer5. The statement OF the associated banks OF
this city for the week ending to-day is favorable
to continued monetary ease, the deposits having
increased So, 269 1885, and the specie ST. 61S while
the legal tender notes have decreased 49, 594 3 and
the loans have increased 81 20l777. The only other
change is an increase OF S35, 738 In the circulation
