FoRdERY About the Goth Of March, Messrs.
Bailey x Park, Of this village, purchased
800 bushels Of corn Of j. Fletcher Of St.
Johnsbury, and on the 9th Of the same month
draft was drawn through the First National
Bank Of Montpelier on Bailey & Park for
$4,000. The draft was duly honored, and a
draft on Boston was forwarded to Mr.. Fletcher
for this amount. By some error, either in the
bank or post office, the draft was forwarded to
Ogdensburgh, n. Y, where twas delivered to
one j. Fletcher, a laboring man who owns
house in that city. Having always maintain
ed good character, and by telling plausible
story, to the effect that he had just sold farm
in Vermont, and by endorsing the draft, Fletch-
er was able to get it cashed by one of the Og-
densburgh banks. The St. Johnsbury Fletch.
er in the mean time wrote the bank here to
know what had become Of the draft, and in
time a duplicate was forwarded him, which he
collected, The original draft went to New
York and thence to Boston, where the endors
ment was declared forgery and payment re-
fused The bank officers at Ogdensburgh have
arrested Mrs. Fletcher, Fletcher having run
away, and have recovered about $500 Of the
money-ihe remainder they will have to lose
