BOSTON BANKS.

1t is fortunate for the banks of Vermont.
as well as for those situated in other Dor
tons of New England, that they took ear
" measures TO protect themselves from
the cxtortion Of the Boston banks, by
establishing, for themselves, an nstitu-
ton where they could keep their dcpos-
its, redeem their bills, and transact their
other necessary business there. 4 few
years ago, more than now, the course OF
trade was such that Nermont-we mean
the greater portion thereof naturally
sought an outside market in Boston, rather
than in New York, ncccssitating the
keeping, by our banks, of large sums on
deposit there for the accommodation of their
customers, as well as the prompt rcdemp-
ton of their bills there, in order to keep
them current az money. SO necessary
was this, that many, il not all, of the
charters granted by the legislature of Yer
mont for the establishing Of bank, re-
quired that their bills should be redeemed
in Boston at par. The leading banks in
Boston took advantage of the condition.
cxacted unjust concessions, and, at times,
discredited the currency Of particular
banks on the slightest and most frivolous
preteXt. To such an extent was this
carried that forbcarancc, at last, ceased to
be a virtue, and the country banks for
self-protection, and, in connection with
Boston capitalists, established a bank of
their own, called the "Bank of Redemp-
ton" 1t was well for that part of Yer
mont and New England, now doing bust
ness in Boston, that this was done. We
had supposed that the hight or depth of
financial meanncss, during this panic, had
been reached in New York, hut it
seems that Boston il entitled to the palm.
IL is unnecessary 10 enlarge upon this
point, as II dispatch. which we publish he
meath, tells the whole story The banks,
says the telegram, ''as yet" have done very
little to afford relief, and some of them
do not seem TO comprehend the situu-
ton. Several even go so far as 70 refuse
to cash checks drawn against actual de-
posts made since the suspension" This
of course induces the boarding of bills,
rs business men would be worse than stu
pd to make deposits where they cannot
draw them out again. But the hight of
absurdity is for bank to pay its own divi-
dends in checks not cashable, in sums of ten
or dozen dollars. A check was present
ed this week for So, payable only through
the Clearing House"

REWARD OF $1,000 OFFERED.
Our citizens were startled Thursday
morning, Oct. 2, by the announcement that
the Missisquoi II. II. depot, and the stores
of Rounds Il Carpenter, and Sheldon Bo-
right, had been entered during the night
and large amount of money stolen. 1t is
supposed that the depot was first entered,
for the Waterman at the engine house
thought he heard noise about midnight
but was unable to tell from whence it pro-
ceeded. They entered the depot by unlock
ing the door of the ladies' room, and got
into the ticket Office by breaking the glass
in one of the ticket windows, unfastening
it, and then crawling through. They then
pried open the money drawers, and took
the contents, all but pennies, silver, and
counterfeit % cent scrip. Fortunately the
drawer only contained $25-all in scrip
the remainder of the money being deposited
in the safe, which they did not NEEDLE
with, probably because of the proximity of
the Waterman.
They are supposed to have gone to
Rounds Il Carpenters store next. This
they entered by a side door in the back
store, turning the key from the outside, and
then bursting off the bolt A watch dog
stays in the store nights, and it must have
made considerable noise at first, for its
barking awoke Mr.. Rounds, whose house
is close by, but as 1t Immediately became
quiet he did not get up. He thought less
OF its barking because ii had barked lust

previous nights, and he had got up and
gone to the store, only to find everything
all right. The burglars had provided
themselves with sedges and cold chsels
from the blacksmith shops, and they forced
open the safe by driving the chisels in
above the hinges. An oycrcoat belonging
to Henry Rounds was placed above the
chisel to deaden the sound, and is com
pletely spoilt, being full of holes. Con

Deputy Marshal Murdered.

A most atrocious and cruel murder oc-
CURED at Paris, Ky, on Monday. Harry
Clay, Edward Current, and Matt Current
were creating Il disturbance in saloon,
when the proprietor being unable to quell
it, sent for an officer. Deputy Marshal w.
a. Burton came and tried to coax CLAY
and the Currents out. He succeeded in get
ting them into the back yard, when Ed
ward Current shot at him several times with
revolver, two of the shots taking effect
in the breast Matt Current then seized
Burton and shot him through the head.
Burton fell to the ground and was set up
on by the Current brothers, who beat him
on the head with the butts of their pistols,
fracturing his skull, beating his nose to a
Jelly, and cutting his face horribly.
Marshal Miller arrested both the Currents
and placed them in Jail. There is great
excitement over the affair, and lynching is
talked of, as the Currents have frequently
been troublesome before, and Burton was
well liked, and was in the discharge of his
duty

A New Jersey Mystery.

About half-past ten O'Clock Sunday night
the engineer of milk train going east saw
the body of man lying across the Erie
hallway track, between Diamond Bridge
and Hawthorne station, about mile west
of Paterson, but was unable to stop the
train, which was going at full speed, until
it had passed over the body. The body
was dressed in the garb of a laborer. The
head was cut off just above the chin. The
upper portion was ground to atoms. The
right leg was also cut off below the knee.
Early Monday morning some residents near
Hawthorne station, who had been made
aware of the finding of the body, saw
suspicious-looking man engaged in prepar-
ing meal over fire he had built short
distance from the place where the body
was found. They asked him few ques-
tons, and his unsatisfactory answers and
general appearance prompted them to ar
lest him. The prisoner was brought
to Paterson. The dead man was recog-
nized as a man who was arrested Saturday
night for drunkenness and released Sunday
morning with light fine. 1t is u settled
impression among the Paterson police and
residents in the vicinity of Hawthorne that
he was murdered and the body placed
across the RAILROAD track to make it appear
that he had been killed by the train A
circumstance that underlies the suspicion
OF murder Is the fact that two men were
put off train by the conductor near this
spot at about three o'clock Sunday after.

Massachusetts, Republican as having
occurred in one of the banks of that
city on Wednesday of last week A promi-
ncnt business man and director of the
bank-who. by the way, has never needed
any discounts and has kept in the bank a
large deposit of from So 1000 to $40. 900 all
the time-called on the president and want
ed piece of paper to the amount of 81 200
discounted. The president refused his di-
rector, whereupon sharp words passed be-
tween the two officers, and it grew SO tur-
bulent that the police were called in to
quiet the disturbance. The result was that
the director withdrew his deposit from the
bank at once, and resigned his office.
