sanctioned by the experience
of over forty years. When
resorted to in season it sell

PETERSBURG, September 23-3 P.
M.-The following banks have suspended :
Merchants National, First National, Citi-
zens, and Planters. The last two expect
to resume payment in few days. The
Commercial National bank is still paying
over the counter, and it is asserted that
they will continue to do so. The alleged
cause of the suspension is owing to q
panicky condition of the people, and
the failure to procure discounts in
New York. The Merchants National
bank has been protested for sixty
thousand dollars in New York. There is
intense excitement on the street, crowds
and groups of depositors and others dis
cussing the condition of things. The oldest
and hitherto soundest business houses are
suspected, and rumors of failures are circu-
lating all around, but are unauthenticated.
tits currently reported and believed that the
following business houses have suspended:
Mc1lwain & Co., Plummer. Young & Co.,

THERE is something extremely sadden-
ing in the sudden extinction of cherished
illusion. As science spreads, SO do ancient
traditions become as if they never had
been, and the exchange reader is made per-
petually to mourn at the funeral of his boy
hoods dearest beliefs. One of these-and
a very tough and sturdy one-has just gone
to the silent tomb in Vermont. The power
of the human eye over the wild and raven
ing wild beast has long been an engaging
subject for school readers and peda-
gogical anecdote, and among the firm
believers in it was a certain profess
sor Of that state. Various skeptics of his
acquaintance having dared to doubt this
power, the professor was moved to con-
vince them, and selected for the object of
his experiment ferocious animal of the
bovine tribe which had long awed and
terrified the neighborhood. Attended by
"a retinue of disbelievers, this scientific
gentleman sauntered into the pasture
where the animal was peacefully grazing,
and fixed his awful eye upon the same.
The next thing which the bystanders OBJ
served was the spectacle of somewhat
ldiscomposed philosopher being tossed
twenty feet into the air, and coming
down in state of mind on the safe side OF
the fence. So pass away the beautiful
