BANK DfALCATl0N AT CONCORD, ". H.
CONCORD, n. H., Jan. There il great
excitement here this forenoon over the M

not generally known till 10 O'Clock, when
the depositors had gathered in a large
group in front Of the bank waiting to yet

would be paid to-day. When the doors
were opened they were surprised at being
told that no payments would be made at
present The officers stated that they had
made all preparations to'pay eff about -
per cent. Of the depositors to-day, but that
John ID. Lyman, one of the State bank
commissioners, requested that no portion of
the deposits be paid till he could make an
official examination of the institution. The
officers further stated that they had IN the
vaults. in cash in readiness to be paid out,
nearly a quarter Of million dollars. This
explanation satisfied the more reasonable of
the depOsitors, but some persons were very
fearful that matters were worse than was
generally believed, and they begun to offer
their books at seventy-fiye cents on the dol
ar, but calmer depositors dissuaded them
from making any such rash bargains. At
noon the bank closed its doors Us usual and
soon afterwsrd the crowd dispersed.
The amount OF the recent defalcation by
the treasurer Of the National Savings Bank
W. W. Storrs. is about S5o.OOo. 4 com
mittoc. consisting Of Bank Commissioners
J. ID. Lyman and William K. Walker, of
Manchester, and Josiah Minot, Of Concord,
is now investigating the affairs Of the bank.
The National bank is said not to be nyoly-
ed. The Savings bank will not pay de-
positors till after the investigation. The
defalcation is said to have been covered by
false entries in the books. The amount of
the treasurer's bonds is Sl2O, 900. which
will more than cover the amount of the de-
ialcation.

to look for it. No Such was not his in

but for a higher and loftier purpose, which
the American people could not see at that
time. II is misfortune that some great
artist was not present at liarper's Ferry on
the occasion, as Brown, with his sons by has

tioh Of emancipation. Brown could, IKE

The CONCORD DEfALCAIIoN.-fR Ex-
CfrEAENT The excitement over the National
Savings Bank detaleatiOn was renewed Sat
uriay forenoon By the reports that the
bondSiuen Of Mr. Storrs, the treasurer. by
some technicality are not holden for the
loss, and that the President Of the Savings
Bank and also of the First National Bank,
Mr.. George A. Pillsbury, was seriously in
yolyed financially. When the bank was
opened at 10 O'Clock the depositors and
Others had gathered in front Of the
building filling up the sidewalk and
portion Of the street. They mani
tested great anxiety snd SAID they wanted
to know if the worst had been told them
The officials of the bank and other friends of
the Institution heSought the crowd to re-
frain from increasing the anxiety and ex-
citement that already prevailed. They said
that nothing had thus lar transpired in the
examination that gives any reason for be-
lieying that the bank was involved to any
greater extent than was at first announced.
Indeed they had strong hopes that the de-
felt would not rise above $50, 900 CAPTAIN
Wm. Walker. an associate official with the
president, said there was not shadow
Of any foundation for the absurd ru-
mors concerning the financial stand
ing of Mr.. PillsbuTy lie SAID tina, the ac-
count of Mr.. Pillsbury with the banks was
small and that the balance was in his favor
The statements calmed the crowd, but it
was even then evident that the depositors
were fearful that from some source some
thing worse was coming. Ii is singular
circumstance that the bank building was
erected upon the foundation of the old
Concord Bank edifce. an Institution which
went to smash years ago. The delay in
paying the expected dividend from the
Savings Bank is causing great inconyen-
fence to many Of the depositors If the
bank proves insolvent the commissioners
will at once put it into the hands OF receiv-
ers. Well informed men say that the bonds
men are holden for the loss.

NEw York, Jan. f.-On New Years day

dence Of ex-J udge Norris at Brooklyn, but

remained unopened until his return yester-
day, when, supposing the box contained
cigars, Mr.. Morris took knife and inserted
it under the lid. when spring
flew up, but fortunately the machine
taken to the bath room and left submerged
for some time, after which it was examined
and found to contain two compartments the
upper one Of which was so arranged with
springs and pieces Of rubber that when the
lid was raised, q number Of friction matches
would be drawn over q piece Of sandpaper,
so that fire would communicate to the lower
compartment, which was filed with powder
and a wad Of something wrapped with fine
twine. which has not yet been examined.
The machine has been placed in the hands
of the Authorities and Mr.. Morris has
offered Il 900 reward for the arrest Of the
parties who sent him the New Years gin.

A SCHOOL JouRyAi FOR VERMoxT.-There
has been talk of starting another Vermont
School Journal. Indeed. We believe a com

vantage which could accrue from a sepa-
rate publication. while it avoids the finan-
cial and other risks which would attend it.
The proprietors of the Massachusetts, Teacher,
we understand. are willing to give eight
pages to Vermont, to be controlled by Yer
mont editors, in case the teachers ofthe State
will make that Journal their organ. like
offer has been made to. New Hampshire.
The idea is good one Let 1t he extended.
and include all Nsw England. 1t would be
better to have one vigorous periodical than
six weakly ones 1t would be better to be
able to pay something for frst-rato articles
than to beg poor ones. Ii would be well to
have 30 wide and solid a subscription basis,
rs to have no need to ask the unwilling aid
of State Legislatures in order to keep alive
and yet, if the State should have the wis
dom to subscribe in behalf Of its schools,
We should rejoice at it. Consolidation is

EucALYrIUs' GLoBuLus.-A paper by NJ.
Gimbert on the cultivation of the Eucalyp-
tus globsus was read at the last meeting OF
the French Academy of Sciences. NJ. Gin
bert has not only unbounded faith in the
lebrifuge qualities of the plant. hut asserts,
remarks the Lancet, that when cultivated in
a feyer-stricken locality it DESTROYS by the
exhalation Of camphorOus vapor all mias-
matte influence, and by its singular capacity
Of absorbing water is capable Of converting
pestilential swamp into dry and healthy
district The data given from the results of
extensive experiment. in yaricns unhealthy
parts OF Algeria are apparently sound and
Trustworthy, and are worthy the attention
OF our Government. Sierra Leone offers an
excellent field Tor the cultivation of the
Eucalyptss globulus, and who knows but
that few years benign influence of the
plant Will convert the " white mans grave"
into health resort as fashionable and as
much sought as the Riviera We greatly
fear, however, that the qualities aseribed to
the tree are ideal, and that in reality it is as
