The Howard Bank mystery in Boston re-
minds the editor of the Portsmouth Chronicle
of similar instance which occurred in tho
old New Hampshire Bank in that city:
A deficit Of $4,000 was found to exist. or
that amount of bills was supposed to be in cir
culation improperly. The Cashier was blam-
ed and suspected. He denied all fraud, but
resigned his place, and his property was held
by his principal bondsman, for security. Years
passed by; the Cashier and bondsman died !:
and finally the bank wound up; but that
$32, 600 never came in for redemption, The
bonds were cancelled, and the property came
back to the Cashiers heirs; but the wrong
done to him, (probably as honest man as ey.
er lived) could not be undone. He went into
the bank, originally, as Cashier, and the mon
ey was not counted then, nor afterwards, till
near the time when he went out. He was
Cashier good number of years-and it was
impossible to know whether the errors were
made by him or his predecessor, or both. But
it was afterwards supposed that defaced bills
to the amount missing were DESTROYED by the
Directors without record being made by the
unfortunate Cashier. He and his family lived
IN prlvation and sorrow for years; but his de-
scendants are now enjoying his rightful estate,
and have ever been among our most highly
esteemed citizens. In two other banks in this
city, at different times, deficiencies in the
funds before unknown, were discovered by
change of Directors, and the new incumbents
insisting, on counting the funds to be defal
cations of the Cashiers

The LECTURE of the Boston Lyceum Course
Monday evening, was delivered by Mr. John
Vance, an Elder in the Alfred Society of Shak-
ers. The subject was, "The Duality of Deity;
a male and Female God, as distinguished fl ON
the Trinitarian theory of the Godhead." He
pictured the popular idea of the Deity, and
ended his period by expressing the hope that
in the progress of thought, the present belief
in the trinity of the Godhead and of infant
damnation would soon be numbered among
the things of the past. The point of his argu-
ment for the duality of Deity was that Adam,
according to Scripture, was created male and
female, in one person, and that the Bible stat
ed that he was created in the image of God.
therefore God must be male and female in His
nature. He fortified this position with repeat
ed Scriptural quotations, and claimed that the
doctrine was being accepted more and more
every day. Theodore Parker acknowledged its
truth before he died, and Andrew jackson
Davis and others now living, have accepted it.
He slso discussed the popular idea of the re-
surrection, but did not develope the one held
by the Shakers. The exercises were opened
with the reading of hymn by Elder Henry
Blinn, of New Hampshire, and singing by
himself and associates. After the lecture the
Shakers sung two more songs, which closed
the exercises
