So, at intervals of months. from yeal
to year, but no longer with places OF
address given; the overwhelmed bele-
factor was the recipient Of golden
shipments, until 1862 the sums which
had been thus sent amounted to near
ly $4,000 in coin.
Soon after these splendid figures
had been reached there came another
surprise. The voluntary debtor fer
life wrote that he was about entering
a business enterprise requiring $4,000
more capital than he had ut command,
and begged his friend to lend him
| that sum.
Here again another man might have
hesitated; but the doctor, with faith
mistaken, freely sent the money, even
at great Inconvenience to himself in
those war times. In 1864 it came
back tn him with full interest, AMI
with it another letter Of ardent graft
tude from the borrower.

But since the letter SO ending, and
without address, DR. Wieting has nev-
er heard again from Wright, AMI now
communicates the story to a writer for
the Troy Times, III the hope that tie
publication may lea'l to #Gne certain
information Of the fate oi his long 81
lant, princely debtor. Whether the
grateful Californian is dead, or has
experienced reyerses OF fortune which
he cares not to reveal, is unknown 80
his old benefaetor, whose letters to
California, inquiries and messengers,
have all proved unayailing to solve
the question. Hence, it Is, after all,
in a most unsatisfactory condition Of
incompleteness that the remarkable
narrative finally comes to public
knowledge; but this artistic defect
is more than counterbalanced by the
high and fairy poetic humanity run
ming through the given facts, and the
fine spirit Of manly trust and censum-
mate loyalty characterizing the re-
sDective actors in this drama Of faith.
THE creditors Of Horace B. Claflin
& Co. met, on Monday, and found the
assets of the firm to be $22, 800, 900,
and their liabilities $15,5S4,0O0. This
favorable showing induced the credl-
tors to give the firm four and a half
months more time, after which pay
ments should be made monthly. This
enables the firm to go on with its bus
mess. The determination OF the mer-
chants to support Mr.. Claf1fn may be
due partially to their grateful remem-
hrance Of the honorable course OF his
house in 1867. At that time, Clafiin,
Mellen & Co. were obliged to suspend,
but finally agreed to give their notes
for 70 per cent, running from thence
to six months, and after that to pay
the other 80 per cent, if possible
The firm not onlypaid the 80 per cent.
with interest, but Mr.. Clafin hunted
up the original holders of the paper,
and reimbursed them for any sacrifice
to which they might have been sub
iected by its sale. He isssaid to have
paid $4,000 in this way more than
was required IN law and honor.
