THE SPRINGFIELD NATIONAL BANK

In the affidavit Of the teller of the Spring
field national bank it is stated, in SUITS ance,
that the bank oxamirer was at the bank
not TO exceed an hour, and made no thor
ough examination of its affairs, but simply
took the cashiers statement and let it 20 at
that. Since that time,-on Friday, as we
are informed,-the bank examiner made
another visit to the bank, and 10 prepared
to report, If be has not already reported,
that the bank is perfectly sound and its af-
fairs in an excellent condition. We have
no doubt that the bank is perfectly sound,
but we understand that the examiner found
that the teller's affidavit was substantially
correct; that the officers of Il bank were
indebted to il, or had been Indebted, %
charged; and that the cash o: had con-
verted to his own uso-although he,
subsequ emily, replaced them-ihe bonds
deposited as collateral for loans, or
deposited for safe keeping, IN the man
ner heretofore mentioned. We learn
further-and it is something, probably,
which will not be stated in the
official report of the examiner-that the
president expressed his willingness that the
bank should be wound up, saying that he
"hdd money enough TO start another" We
doubt not the fact, and we have no COM
ment to make upon this characteristic
speech OF the president, any further than
to ask If wealthy bank presidents are not
required to obey the law under which the
banks of which they are presidents derive
their existence and if the mere possession
OF money enough to start another" will
enable one to establish bank no matter
how much he and his associates may have
disregarded the laws which are supposed to
have been enacted for the protection OF
those having occasion to irantact business
with hanka

The Brandon Murder.

1t was reported that another bundle had
been found by Pendegrass, belonging to the
suicide-murderer, and containing over. alls
and other articles which he was said TO
have had with him before the murder, but
the investigation, says the Brandon Union,
shows that nothing further has been found.
John L. Knight, postmaster of Brandon,
recently received the following letter:
New York, May 90, 1876.
DEAR SIR :-You will excuse me for the
liberty take to address you. l have seen
in the New York Herald the following:
Charles Williams, young EnglIshman, was
identified as the murderer OF Frank Brassor.
He claims to be from Bristol England, and no
means. Probably had become respondent and
insane.
Will you be kind enough to hand this to
the chief of police, if any, or some other
person that can inform me the particulars
of the murder of f. Brassor, and when and
where, and think that known this young
man, Williams, wish to know if there is
anything growing over the caudle of bis
left eye. II he is the same young man he
has often acted very strangely since that
happened to his eye and before.
BY letting me know these few particu-
lars you will oblige me, and if he is the
same young man | will communicate fur
Their about him.
remain, respectfully,
WILLIAM III. JONES.

Strange and Fatal Accident at the
Ausable Chasm.

Last Tuesday evening, Alonzo Baker and
James Ricketson started out TO fish down
the Ausable river, below the chasm. They
tished until some time after midnight and
started for home, but as the night was
dark, and the woods about them thick, they
lost their way. They wandered about for
some time vainly endeavoring to find the
road, feeling their way along cautiously
and holding each other by the hand. Final
ly Baker said he knew where he was, and
would go ahead and lead the way out. He
had advanced but few steps, Ricketson
following, when the latter heard rustling
sound, and all was still. Ricketson called
several times to his companion, but receiv-
ing no answer, he got down on his hands
and knees, crawled back in an opposite d.
rection, and finally found the road and bis
way out, just as 1t was growing light. He
told his story to the first parties he met and
accompanied by them returned to the scene
OF his adventures In search of Baker. His
dead body was soon found at the foot of
precipice seventy-hve feet high. lie had
made misstep In the dark, and plunged
over without word or cry. He had EVIL
IDENTIFY struck on his hands and knees, as
they were terribly mangled, and received
bruises in the face. He had struck on a
smooth rock sloping to the river, and the
body had bounded forward and Law partly
submerged in the water. Baker was well
acquainted with all the intricacies of the
chAsm, having worked there for years "a
guide to pleasure parties.

General Notes.

The New York Times special says the
president expressed himself forcibly in the
interview with Governor Young of Ohio,
against federal officials having to do per-
'onally with the machinery of politics.
1t is hard to get these southerners to un-
derstand New England CT stoms. The re-
cent Thanksgiving day in Louisiana was
observed, not by eating turkey, but by
firing salutes. 1t is hard to say which is
the more devoted method of the two.
The Graphic's Washington special says
President Hayes trip TO New York has de-
termined him TO bend his energies towards
recuperating American commerce, and to
avoid in future Inequalities of private in
dividuals having business relations with the
government.
Il is said that the consolidation CT PEN
sion agencies will not put pensioners to any
additional trouble and expense. Only
about five per cent. of all the pensioners
make personal applications in the large
cities, where the agencies will be kept up,
exceed in number those from all other
places combined.

The Presbyterian general assembly, at
Chicago, Friday, by nearly unanimous
vote declared that the Fourth command
ment was Of binding obligation, and "that
any participation in the publication or
sale of Sunday newspaper is inconsist-
ent alike with obedience to Gods law
and with membership of the Presbyterian
church. This beng so, it would seem
to follow, ca neceSSitate rel, that any par
ticipation in the editing or publication of
newspaper issued Monday morning-most
OF the work being done Sunday-was, also,
inconsistent alike with obedience to Gods
law and church membership. 1t is to be
presumed that the obligations of the Fourth
commandment and of obedience to God are
equally binding upon other churches, and
that disregard of these obligations is in
consistent with church membership-but
we trust some of our Vermont churches
will not be over hasty in dealing with their
Fourth commandment breaking and other
wise refractory clergymen. Let them have
peace.

we're attack of diphtheria, which left my
limbs psralized and useless, SO was un.
able TO walk or sit up. Noticing the ad-
vertiscment of PERUVIAN SYRUP, l con-
cluded to give it trial. and to my great
joy soon found my health improving. l
continued ,he use of the SYRUP until three
bottles had been used, and was restored to
complete health. and have remained 30 to
this day.
l attribute my present health entirely to
the use of PERUVIAN SYRuP, and hold it in
high estimation. l cannot speak too highly
in its praise. | have in several cases re-
commended it in cases very similar to my
own with the IN good results.
Yours truly, CHARLES L. PEARoY.

A painful story reaches us of two Rut-
land clergymen-votaiies of the dog, the
rod and the gun, and one of them, at least,
as warm an advocate of the fish and game
law as he is violent opponent Of muzzling
dogs or paying. dog taxes-being detected
in neighboring town, the other day, in
violating the act for "the further protec-
tion of fish and game" passed at the last
session of the Legislature. OF course, the
story can't be true, and we only refer to it
for the purpose of putting our citizens on
their guard against such unfounded and
malicious ISLANDERS.

1t would seem that General Butler will
not have much campaign use" of the
facts of the Laws murder which "Gov-
"ernor" Packard so kindly forwarded him !;
as it appears that Laws was killed by one
man, not by "crowd of bull dozers" !;
that the assassin is now in Jail, and that
the killing was occasioned by family feud
growing out of divorce suit Tue "gov-
"ernor" and general will have to try again,
or that new party will be exceedingly short
lived
