which he used about his neck as q surgeon would
atourniquet around . bleeding artery He was
about filty years OF age and had been committed
for q trining offence His cell was on the upper
tier and hence he was enabled to carry out his
purpose without being observed from below.
Charles Il. Moore, twenty-three years OF age,
formerly Of Silver Creek N. u, shot himself through
the heart with fowling piece at Wcllbrook near
Dover, last Thursday. A year or 80 ago, during q
t OF insanity ne tried to cut his throat but friends
interlered in time to save him. He was sent to a
lunatlc asylum, where he improved greatly, and
was finally placed in charge of friends in the Jersey
village named. 1t was necessary to watch him, but
during an unguarded hour on Thursday he pro-
cured the gun, walked or in the woods and shot
himself as described.

THE BANK STATEMENT.
The weekly statement OF the associated banks Is
unfavorable, but to SO slight an extent
as to be only nominally SO, the loss in
surplus reserve falling within $4,000. The
loans show a decrease OF 100000, which
can be attributed to the withdrawal OF money
on Pacific Mail shares owing to the immense
decline In their market value. The heavy Inn
ports OF the week explain the loss in specie, while
the gain In legal tenders rejects the movement Of
the western exchanges In favor OF New York.
The loss In deposits is about the OF the loss in
specie and contraction in loans 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that the legal tender item viii continue
rising average and that tho specie deficit
will hardly be as large again for good while, as
the imports OF the past week have been excep-
tionay heavy. owing to tho Introduction Of holi-
day goods. 1t should be remembered. further
more, that the
GAIN IN LEGAL TENDERS
by the return OF money to this centre has been con-
sideraby more than stated because the Treasury
took In million for gold without buying any
bonds. The statement compares with its pre-

"OId Probabilities"

The drouth was the subject of general CONVEX
sation yesterday. Our advices from surround
ing counties show that in every section rain is
badly needed. If ''old probabilities will send
us rain he will be for ever gratefully remem-
bered The Worcester Mass Spy says ever
since Gen. Meyer put his weather business into
operation two years now we have had far less
rain than usual. We have no idea the General
controls it, though he has got SO far as to pre-
dict the weather to a certainty. Now is good
time for his corps to win golden opinions. Sink
the barometer, General, and let the floods come.
