The Money Panic.

SAD INSTANCE OF PROBABLE LOss-PREs-
IDENT GRANT AND FIX PRESIDENT
JOHNSON HEAVY LOSERS.
A special Washington dispatch to the
N. Y. Tribune says that the most prom
inent depositor in the First National
bank, next to President Grant, was An
drew johnson. In the First National
he has always kept his account since he
was made President. AT the time of
the failure of the bank, Mr.. johnson
had 100000 to his credit, on which he
was receiving 5 per cent interest, which
was his only revenue. Should the bank
be unable to discharge its obligations, a
contingency by no means improbable,
ex-President johnson will be almost
penniless. Another case which will ex-
cite sympathy is that of Mrs. John G.
Wilson, whose husband, a member OF
Congress elect from Oregon, recently
died. MI. Wilson had $1,000 on deposit in
bank when he died and arrangements were
making by Judge Williams and Senator
Kelley to obtain the money for the wild
ow who is wholly without means, and is
now teaching school to support her fam
lily. The Smithsonian Institution had
$4,000 on deposit; the Children's Hos
pital, benevolent institution which has
done great good in Washington, had
$4,000; Judge Macarthur of the dis.
trict court lost $4,000. Senator Patter-
son of South Carolina, it is said had s14-
900 in one of the suspended banks; Adj
miral Rowland had $4,000; Mrs. Will
liam II. Scott, widow of former navy
agent, had SIT 900, the proceeds of the
sale of all the property she had, and it
is said Gen. Hunter had a large balance
to his credit. Even Mr.. Knox the con.
trOller Of the currency, whose money
was in the bank, said he hadn't money
enough to 60 to market with the day af
ter the suspension.

Great Financial Panic.

NUMEROUS FAILURES IN NEW YORK.
On Thursday Of last week great f.
nancial panic commenced by the an.
nouncement of the failure of Jay Cooke
&, Co., a house so celebrated as to be
household words in almost every portion
of this country and in Europe. This
was followed by the announcement that
Fisk & Hatch, another firm almost equal
" celebrated had also suspended and
other houses, many of which had long
been regarded as of great financial
strength, besides numerous others less
known. Nearly all the failures thus
far are banks, brokers and trust compa-
MES, and at first it was hoped it would
be confined to them and not materially
affect the country; but as the details
come out, it is probable that the effect
will be felt in other departments of trade
and business before it is over. On Tues
day Henry Clews & Co., suspended, and
the excitement which had somewhat
subsidized was renewed again creating
much gloom in financial circles. Most
of this excitement has prevailed in New
York, though considerable existed in
Philadelphia. Jay Cooke & Co. hao
banking houses in Philadelphia, New
York, Washington and London. Their
house in London is said to be indepen-
dent of those in this country and up to
this writing, wednesday, its suspen-
sion had not been announced.
The cause of these failures is said to
be an overload of railroad stocks, more
especially of Northern Pacific. 1n 9TH
err words payments failed at the begin
ming and then failure followed the whole
length of the line, while in many cases
it was simply the old story of speculation
In stocks. The excitement in New York
is greater than the "black Friday" of
1869. The stock and gold room was
closed on Monday till further orders.
The money market has been tight for
more than year, and when, the present
crash is over, better state of things
may exist.

VERMONT WOODLANDS The wood
product of the State is still source of
immense revenue, and helps many far
mer to an annual profit, who would 9th
erwise run behindhand. Looking from
any elevated point, one sees whole ranges
of hills from 1000 to 5000 feet high,
which are still clothed with primeval
forests. The locomotives annually con.
sumo thousands of cords of wood wher.
ever they have made their path, and will
gradually denude the whole of this for.
est State. The danger of this result
however, is lessened somewhat by the
gradual discovery by the landowners
that the more inaccessible hills are worth
more for wood lots than for any othel
agricultural purpose. The old practic'
of clearing and, that is, of sweeping
off the forest aud putting in crops, il
falling into disuse. Now, the wood il
cut off and the land left to lie unvexe(
by hoe or harrow. The next year, j
sprouts thick with new growth, and il
twenty or twenty-five years another va
liable harvest of timber is ready for th,
AK. There is much less recklessnes
about cutting off timber than formerly
and on the old lines of rail coal is near
ly as cheap as wood. Cor. Springfield
