A lead mine has been discovered on the

north Of Dayton. The ore was discovered
while opening and developing stone quar-
ry and was at first supposed to be stone, but
from its peculiar color and brittlenese at

brought specimens to Dayton for analysis.
Prof. L. A. Nudge made partial assay of

OF iron and indications OF silver; but, from
the limited facilities at his command,

The ground in the vicinity has been pros
pected and the ledge, or vein, which is four
or five feet in thickness, found to extend
back six hundred feet at least, and is sever

sent to the State Asssyist, at Columbus, for

There is a sensation in Indiana. All
marriages under the new constitution, since
1852, are illegal. The constitution provides
that every law shallhave an enacting clause
and that without il the act shall be void.
The law relating to marriages has no such
enacting clause; hence It is void and the
State is without any law on the subject.
The parties who have supposed they were
married, are only mated and there may be
endless trouble in determining the heirship

SUSPENSION ora BANK.

| EOS<GNS1ON OF n BANk.
Yesterday morning the Bank of Brandy
wine, Of West Chester, owing to an over
strain upon its resources, failed to open itl
doors. About 1890 O'Clock the following
notice was posted on the door of tht
bank
:" This bank finding itself unable to meet
the continuous drain upon its deposits and
feeling 1t to be unjust to allow depositors
living In town any chances of preference
over those at distance, has decided not to
open the doors this morning. '-m
1t is entirely safe to say that depositora
need feel no uneasiness, as the assests of
the bank are unquestionably able to pay
them in full at an early day" :
During the morning the Officers and d.
rectors held meeting with their Counsel,
John X. Pinkerton and Hon. Wayne Mac
Veagh, the result of which is unknown,
nothing being made public There have
been rum0rs afloat that the institution was
likely to be converted into National Bank,
6ut such rumors are entirely without foun-
dation.
The Bank officers and Directors are now
making the necessary arrangements for an
assignment for the benefit of the creditors,
NO deposits were taken on Tuesday.
Money and books were received from depos-
1tors, but all such will be returned to their
respective owners. In consequence of losses
during the panic and other losses sustained
since, also continued depression Of the
business OF this Institution the affairs of
the bank became in such a condition, that
