GREEN PORK AND GREENBACKs
How an OverWeeningLOEe for these Two
VerdRnt VaIuabses Helped Tive
La Boys to Jail.


1t is just as well to be hung for sheep
as for a leg of mutton. So thought the
sappient, but not two honest, William
Payne yesterday, as he passed, in for
lOrn state of mind and hungry condition
of stomach, up Front street. Seeing a
variety of dressed hogs hanging in front
of Sherman Il Co. Is store, he promptly
made up his mind what to do. He
shouldered one of the hogs, and walked
nonchalently away with il. A police
man captured him at the next corner,
and gently directed his wandering foot
steps to the stationhouse on Adams.
Master Payne gave as his excuse for
walking away with the pork that he was
fond of potatoes, cabbage, and such
things, but did not admire them when
not literally creased and fattened with
pork. He wished to try the quality Of
that pOrker as an enricher of boiled cab
bages. He had heard much said in dis
paTagement of Front row pork, and want
ed to find out for himself what truth
there was in the slanderous statements.
Squire Spellman subsequently, sent him
to Jail.
THE GREENBACK YOUTH.
George Mill is the name of the youth
who tried, in his peculiarly industrious
way, to turn penny yesterday, but got
"tripped up on it.n George was en-
ployed by a brother TeutOn in South
Memphis, as assistant and general
handy-man about his place of business
The master of the concern saw an open.
ing for good trade, and dispatched his
trusty servant to his wife, with a request
that all the money in the house be sent
to him at once. The good lady sent
twenty dollars by George; but that spec
ulative young man forgot the interests
of bis employer, and, instead of taking
the money to the owner, wandered into
a slop-shOp and purchased some desira-
ble under-clothing. Then he hied him
to the Ohio depot, and purchased tick
ct for st. Louis. Before he had time to
embark on that perilous voyage, he was
arrested by Detective Walsh, who slid
him on his left ear to the stationhouse.

Movements Of Boats.

Business was fair at the landing yes
terday, but not SO active as on the day
previous. The Indiana came down ear
" with barge in tow, and has six hun
dred tons, including one hundred eoOps
poultry, one thousand sacks corn, one
hundred head of stock, thirteen hun
dred barrels apples, and took here five
hundred bales cotton, and lays over.
The Chas. Bodmann came down with a
barge in tow, and had about seven hun
dred tons of freight. She added here
about one thousand bales cotton, and
was to have left for the south last night
The Mary Boyd cleared for White river
after dark with four hundred tons, half
Of which was for the Arkansas river, to
be reshipped on the Fort Gibson at the
mouth of White river. The Mary Z.
Poe took one hundred and thirty-eight
bales of cotton, as well as the cargo of
the City of Cairo for the Ohio, and was
busy up to a late hour in taking that on
board. The Robert Mitchell came up
with barge, put out one hundred pack
ages and reshipped two hundred tons of
up-river freight on the Celeste, and lays
up here. The City of Chester, for Cairo,
left light; and the Joe Kinney, for
Vicksburg, got away at noon with four
hundred tons.

The Emile La Barge is expected down
| to-day, and goes to New Orleans.
The CITY of Cairo reshipped here by
rail her Louisville and Nashville freight,
and the remainder of her cargo was being
put on the Mary E. Poe last night. That
boat takes it to the Ohio.
Captain Dugan, of the wrecker Eckert,
telegraphed Major Adams last night that
his boat passed Clarendon at noon, hav-
| ing pulled over Little Island bar in less
than six hours, when the Eckert was
| drawing six inches more water than
| there was in the channel. The Eckert,
doubtless, arrived at the wreck of the
| Thomas II. Allen last night, and was to
! begin the work of raising her at once.
Captain Reese w. Dugan has not yet
put in an appearance, but is daily ex-
| peeted from New Orleans.
| The railroad bridge over Yallabusha
river, below Grenada, on the Mississippi
Central railroad, was destroyed by fire
yesterday morning. This accident viii
cause a delay ot southwaTd-bound cot
| ton by rail for a week at least, and COM
! pei its shipment by river. Considerable
cotton has been taken for New Orleans,
during the week, at one dollar and sew
enty-fve cents per bale, and on some
| lots two dollars per bale has been paid.
Shippers will hardly grumble now at two
dollars, but will pay it rather than have
their cotton lay here ten days or two
weeks.
The City of Quincy and Fannie Lewis
were both due from below last night.
The Exporter is due from above.
Pedestrians are crossing the Monon-
gahela on the ice, six miles above Pitts
burg.
Captain Robert Riley is to command
one of the st. Louis and Vieksburg
packets. He has been succeeded on the
Colossal by Captain T. B. Simms.
The Emma, burned on ShawneetoH u
| bar Monday, was valued at fourteen
| thousand dollars, and was insured in the
Merchants Mutual, through MeGilliard
/ & Brown, of Indianapolis, for five
thousand dollars. Her cargo was pretty
| fully insured. DIR. Hallock, Of Evans
vile, had a risk of two thousand and
! four hundred dollars on pork.
| The ferry-boat Nellie Thomas, form
erly used at WaverIy Missouri, has been
sold to the Iron Mountain railroad for
the sum of five thousand dollars. She
| is to be used by the Cairo and Fulton
railroad at Little Rock, in transferring
freight and people at that point until
! the bridge is completed.
The Emile La Barge, Captain Shields,
leaves this afternoon at three o'clock for
New Orleans and all way landings.

The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1872-12-02

BANK DEFALCAT1oN IN New YORK STATE
A letter dated MiddletoWn, n. Y, Novem-
Der 2Sth, says: "This place was the scene
Of some excitement yesterday by the report
that ex-senator William NJ. Graham, presi-
dent of the Waikiki National Bank, and
Charles II. Horton, Esq, cashier of the same
institution, we're defallters to the amount of
$500, 900, and that the bank had been com.
PEELED to suspend. That the bank had srs-
pended there was no doubt, and an investi-
CATION into its affairs soon revealed the fact
that the president and cashier were default
ers, but not in MS large an amount as re-
ported. They have used the money in the
bank to the amount of probably 100000.
and $4,000 or $4,000 in bonds and
securities placed in the bank by different
parties for safe-keeping are missing.
"Much and serious inconvenience to bust
ness men will be the result Of the failure of
this bank. Many men having paper coming
due deposited funds in the bank on the day
Of its suspension to meet their obligations.
This has all been used to meet the demands
of suspicious dcpositors. A considerable
portion Of the Homeopathic Insane Hospital
Fund was deposited in the bank, and it is
probable that work on that building, now
under fair Roadway, will be necessarily sus-
pended, throwing hundreds of men out OF
employ. There is some doubt as to whether
the bank will be continued after settlement
OF its affairs. If it is, it will be under new
name and Il new directory. An examiner
has been asked from the State Superintendent
of Banks, and until the result Of his inyesti-
cation of the books is known no definite idea
OF the exact condition of affairs can be
formed. 1t is generally believed that mat.
tiers are worse than the estimate of the direc
tors would make them"
