FRIENDS WORTH HAVING The West
Chester, New York, Republican, relates
the following:
During the financial excitement thai
prevailed on Friday and Saturday last, 4
Mr. J. Nj. Albcrtson, OF Norristown No
one in ordinary times would question
Friend Albertsons ability to pay all his de
positors, but as one scared animal will
sometimes startle a whole herd, So it
proved in this instance with 4 few timid de
positors. While the rush was at IFS height
and the greenbacks We're being paid out
as rapidly as busy hands could handle
them, Henry 5. Hitner. Esq. of White
marsh, entered the building, and after tax
ing cursory glance at the scene before
him, took up a piece of paper and wrote
thereon-'l agree to be responsible To the
depositors in the banking house OF }. Nor
ton Albertson, to the extent of one hq1l-
dred thousand dOl(Ts, signed his name,
dated the paper, and fastened it up against
the entrance door, where every one enter
ing could see it, A few minutes there
after his brother Daniel O. Hitner. Esq.
came in, and noticing the paper took il
down and wrote Il concur in the above,
and will be responsible to the extent OF
one manfred M0usnud doNors ulore'-
signed his name with date, and replaced
the paper in its former position. These
two gentlemen We're known to be abund-
antly able to make their words good
Daniel o. Hitner being by far the wealthiest
man in Montgomery county. Our intor-
mant says that scare was over in twink
ling and no one would have supposed
there was man in the crowd that had
come there with the slightest intention Of
drawing his money.
