The above is as near as the Commissioner can
at present approxima te the assets and debts
Of the Va. Banking and Trust Company. The
sums due depositors are stated as OF October
%, 1876. and if the assets OF the company
shall admit Of payment in full, each Deposit
or will be entitlei to interest from said date.
The two Staunton banks having collaterals,
probably more than enough to secure tile
sums due them, and having the matter IN
their own hands, will, of course, pay them :
selves in full with interest.
DEPosIToRs' SHARE.
The Commissioner suggests that after dis
charging claims preferred by law, the Trns-
tees be instructed to distribute, from time to
time, collections made by them, whenever
they may have in hand a sum sufficient 60
pay, say ten per cent. to each creditor OH the
amount of his claim.
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.
Inreponse to inquiries filed with Commits
sioner by j. C. Cochran and others, he states
that it is impossible at present to furnish all
the information called for, and it seems to
him unnecessary to attempt ir at this
stage OF the proceedings. He. however, an
swers several of the inquiries as fully as prac-
ticable at this time.

an agent, who will sell at five per cent when
the purchaser takes the risk Of shipping, or

The new agent is w. M. Dinkel, granger
agent for Augusta County, who claims the
right to sell any where. He will order the
best farming implements made in the United

the Rennett-Ma AFFAIR. The two idiots
did % to q plnce In Delaware, and did
stand UP before each other at the blood
thirsty distance of twelve PAGES and fire
pistols into the air, and retire. Then
it was industriously given out that
May was mortally wounded, and that
Bennett was in hiding, and the papers
were filled with incidents of the meet
ing" The truth is neither was
touched. May sneaked off to Wash
ington, and Bennett sneaked off to
Europe with his sister, where he will
probably stay. He is the laughing
stock of the city, and as he hasn't the
tact of his father to turn such things
to account, it is better for him to lie
away. The result of the duel " is so
ridiculous that it has done more to put
a final end to such nonsense than all
the laws. The only real sufferer in the
case is Miss May, who is really "a nice
girl, even if she was willing to marry
such a man as Bennett. The two prin-
cipals have hardly sense enough to feel
the absurd position they have placed
themselves in. PIETRo.
