THE HOBOKEN SAVINGS BANK.
Progress OF the Examiners and Fair


During the week the gentlemen employed to
overhaul the accounts Of this bank have worked
energeticaly under the supervision OF Mr. War
rem. The whole number Of passbooks handed in
thus far is about one-half the entire number. No
further thefts have been discovered, and Mr.. War
rem is still confident that the depostors Will re-
ceive dollar for dollar. All the passbooKs handed
in before the past week are now ready for redis
tribution, the accrued interest being duly regis
tered therein. Some persons offered 10 deposit
money, but 1t was refused. There has been no
excitement or anger displayed by the creditors
thus far, in consequence no doubt, of the tacit
understanding that there 49, providentially, one or
two men in the Board Of Directors who will
never allow the poor widows and struggling
workmen TO lose penny OF their deposits, even II
the liabilities should exceed the assets. The only
drawback that can exist now will arise from
neglect OF the depositors TO bring in their pass
books. BY this means alone can the examination
be speedily terminated. Hence the following cir
cuar has been prepared and will be mailed to each
depositor:-

BABYLON shall become heaps, adwell-
ing place for dragons, an astonishment

man pass thereby" (Jer. ii. 37-43).
The wild beasts of the deserts are now
the only occupants of what was once
NebuchadneZZar's boast, the centre OF
a kingdom which stretched from the
river of Egypt to the river OF Euphra..
tes. and none of the beaten tracks OF
pilgrimage or traffic so much as pass
the spot. 1t is difficult to sit on that
ground and try to reconstruct in I'M
agination the stupendOus temple OF
Belus (the BELL" of Scripture), or the
changing garden" or the miles OF
Streets, or lofty walls. SO complete
was the destruction of the temple by
CYRUS, that history tells us that even
Alexander the great, when he wished
to rear it again from the heaps of rub
bish. failed in the attempt. 1t Is dlf1l-
cult to realize that here Daniel wit
messed a good confession, and rose TO
be the first minister at court before
which the world trembled, and that
here the Three Children passed

The Lynchburg Republican says we
announced yesterday the death of our
former townsman, Col. Robert L. Owen,
at his residence, near Norfolk. His re-
mains reached this city, yesterday and
were met at the depot by the Masonic
order, and a large number of our citizens,
and escorted to the Masonic Hall, wherein
they were deposited to await the funeral

many fine qualities He was a civil engin-
eer by profession, and for several years he
was the President of the Virginia & Tenn
essee Railroad Company He was, also,
the State Senator from this district for two
years, and was an able and faithful repre-
sentative. In social life he was very
genial, and in all the domestic and family
relations of life, he was a noble specimen
OF husband, father, ard afriend. He
was only in the 47th year Of his age, and
TO be cut off so suddenly only shows taht
in the 'midst Of life We are in death. "
The funeral services over the remains will
take place at II clock this morning at
st. Pauls Church, from whence they will
be conveyed to their final resting, and viii
be followed By a large coHcOurse of rela-
