berry, The discovery was very pain
full one to the officers of the Company,
who had put such absolute confidence
in his honesty. 1t appears from his
statement that the money given him
led him into temptation. He bought
real estate with it and took to stealing
to make up the remainder of the pur-
chasd money.
Politics here are gradually assuming
definite shape. The Republicans will
run straight ticket, and IL they nomi-
nate the best men, will probably elect
1t. The Democrats and Worklngmen
have very nearly fused, the former to
take three profitable Offices, and, the
latter seven which are of secondary i'm.
portance so far as salary and patronage
60. The Judges are, it is pretty gen.
orally agreed, to be non-partizans. The
Greenbackers were at one time on the
point of uniting with the Workingmen,
but have finally decided to retain their
individuality. The Socialists cannot,
at the outside, cast more than 1000
votes, and the chances are that they
viii sell out to one or the other party
before election day. II men Of equal
capacity are nominated, the fusion tick.
ct of Workingmen and Democrats will
doubtless be successful.
The job of gathering up the relics Of
the broken banks goes slowly onward.
A receiver is, of all creatures, thesone
who goes slow and sure. He is so on
his guard against an imprudence, that
he would rather postpone dividend a
year, than allow FIVE cents of the assets
to be sacrificed. He is careful to give
no information, lest it may be slightly
out of the way, and mlslead the expect
ant creditor and he is, If anything,
more careful to draw his allowance
every month, even if it takes the last
cent in the treasury. From present
Que of the banks will pay
80 per cent another about 90, and an
other about 20. There are beginning
to be fears that the trouble is not yet
over here, e,and that in short time some
of the National Banks will go to the
wall. Such fears are apt to cause the
mischief that is apprehended, and so
another smash is by no means unlikely.

Our Boston Letter.

Boston, Oct. 90, 1877.
Our lecture courses, which usually
opens in September. are quite late this
season, but they are just out with their
programmes, which commences early in
November and continues into January.
The announcements are quite attrac-
tive, especially when the low price of So
and 81 for the best seats for twelve lec-
lures is considered.
We have had one thing in the way of
show" the past week which must
not pass by unnoticed and that is DR..
S. NJ. Lands, who was announced to
appear at Beethoven Hall in "Hamlet"
and " Richard Ill.," supported by an
'imaginary company" This man, who
we are very much inclined to think is a
trihe /" loony," did not meet with sue
cess, and discontinued mis- performan-
ces" after two nights. AS he has been
well advertised, one of our little variety
theatres has picked him up, and will
bring him out to. night as a STAR" AS
| believe the " Doctor" is somewhat
known in your region. append a brief
correspondence between him and the
manager of the variety theatre, which
believe is absurd enough to deserve
printing
