FRIENDS WORTH HAVING.

The West Chester, Pa, Republican
relates the following; During the
financial excitement that prevailed on
Friday and Saturday last, run was
made upon the banking house of Mr.. J.
M. Albertson, at Norristown. No one,
in ordinary times, would question
Friend Albertson's ability to pay all his
depositors, but as one scared animal
will sometimes startle whole herd, so
it proved in this instance with few
timid depositors. While the rush was
at its height, and the greenbacks were
being paid out as rapidly as busy hands
could handle them, Henry S. Hitner,
of Whitemarsh, entered the building,
and after taking cursory glance at the
scene before him, took up piece of pa
per and wrote thereon" agree to be
responsible to the depositors in the
banking house of j. Morton Albertson,
to the extent of one hundred thousand
dollars" signed his name, dated the pa
per, and fastened it up against the en-
trance door, where every one entering
could see it. A few minutes thereafter,
his brother, Daniel o. Hitner, Esq,
came up, and noticing the paper, took
it down and wrote :" concur in the
above, and will be responsible to the
extent of one hundred thousand dollars
more signed his name with date, and
replaced the paper in its former posi-
ton. These two gentlemen were known
to be abundantly able to make their
words good-Daniel O. Hitner being
by far the wealthiest man in Mont
gomery county. Our informant says
the scare was over in twinkling, and
no one would have supposed there was
man in the crowd that had come there
with the slightest intention of drawing
his money"
