BASKISG.-We are in receipt of a
letter from our old friend, Charley
Swift, Mayor of Sacramento and
President of the Sacramento Savings
Bank, generously offering his inval-
liable advice and assistance in case
we desire to start a savings bank.
Charley's bank is on the purely
mutual plan. and he receives deposits
from all parts of the globe. This
generous offer was timely; for. he
ing unable to save any money Of our
own. we were just thinking Of start
ing a bank so that we might ave the
/ filthy lucre of other people. People
having old octagonal slugs of the
$50 denomination, unset diamonds.
/ or other valuahles not exceeding in
weight the carrying capacity of a
Washoe canary, will therefore come
forward and make their deposits. No
trifiing sums taken on deposit
nothing less than a short bit.
CASE DIsNnssED.-We learn that
in the District Court, Washoc City,
the jury was unable TO agree upon a
verdict in the ease of the State of
Nevada vs.. Cookies. and that the case
was dismissed. The defendant he
ing a woman and the wife of J. +.
Cookies, Esq, was charged with
throwing vitrol into the face of Miss
McGfee. The enormity of the crime
and the standing of the parties gave
the case an unusual interest in
Washoe county, where the parties
are known. The State was represent
ed by District Attorney VIM. NJ.
Boardman. and Gen. II. VI. Clarke.
while Judges Pitzer. Hayden and
Taylor appeared for the defense.
The matter Is at last set to rest. and
the defendant. after judicial inves-
CATION. relieved from the odious
stigma which even a bare suspicion
j. sufficient to create.

fore Justice Parkinson, yesterday, in
which n gentleman from Empire

was dismissed at the cost of plaintiff
who. not having the w~herewith, wa,
