J. Fred. Thornton, circuit clerk of st.
Louis, has been suspended from Office for fail
urc to comply with the orders of the circuit
court, and pay into the treasury of the citv
$4,000, which ought to have been in his pos
session. An investigation of his accounts has
been had. and it is thought there is heavy
defalcation. Thornton was custodian of var.
ious trust funds pending the settlement of
suits in the courts. The amount that will be
short is estimated as between $4,000 and co.
600. He was under $500 bonds.

a silver Aurprise.

The London Times of the 10Th says: "U.
g., funds have surprised many people by
advancing, instead offalling, on the news that
the silver bill passed in the manner that will
insure its incoming law in much its pres
ent shape. We have always said the public
was not selling the stock to any apprcciable
extent and the weakness which has now and
then characterized the bonds was due as
much as anything to the passing fears of deal
ers and to speculative selling, which only
made the market harder. ncncc on receipt
OF New York prices and the worst became
known the market naturally rose by mere
efforts OF those who had sold TO buy back.
Besides it has been noticed that the limita-
ton put on the quantity of silver that may
be coined in given time is itself tantamount
to making silver subsidiary coinage, at all
events for some considerable time, SO that
there is little alarm felt and holders stick to
their bonds. The only lthing that lower the
prices Of these or any other high class stock
just now is dearcr money"

EnEllsll 8tock Qarket.


The London Economist of the 23d of
Feb, in speaking of the money market in that
city says the rate Of discount in the open
market has been firm at ~ per cent. The
price OF silver is due to the passage of the
Bland silver bill, speculative absorption of
India councils paper, and purchases by Russia
from Germany for coinage purposes. The
stock markets have been subjected to very
sharp fluctuations during the week. Tuesday
the fall of prices was almost unparalleled.
Statements were circulated that Russia was
massing large bodies Of troops in Roumania,
and buying silver from Germans to Il heavy
amount, that our government was hurrying
preparations, and that Lord Derby would
make an unfavorablc statement in the House
of Lords that evening. This Lord Derby did
not do, consequently there has been fairly
good renewal Of confidence, and the result OF
which has been moderate improvement in
most securities. The effect ofthc passage of the
silver bill through the United States Senate
by more than two thirds majority was not at
once apparent. American bonds prices at
first showed tendency to advance, probably
in sympathy with the general tone Of the
markets, but there has since been some gen
uine selling which caused relapse. The
American railroad market has been compara
lively we'll supported.

One OF the party proposed gsing- through

him to keep his place and come on. After
securing the booty, the robbers mounted
horses, hitched short distance from the de-
pot, and took northwcsterly course. There
were enough male passengers aboard to cap

moralizcd, that with the exception of the con-
ductor and Capt. W.Apperson, who attempt
ed to arouse the passengers to action, there
was no disposition to resistance shown. Sim

A Pleasant Visit.

MIR. EDIToR-Being called to Pick
ems week before last on church bus
iness, we embraced the opportunity
of renewing old friendships. Years
ago when We were driven, with our
family, from our pleasant home we
found safe refuge among the kind
friends of Pickens. Being delegated
by the South Carolina Presby,ery to
ass'st in the formation of Il new Pres
by'ei ian Chm ch at that place, we
gladly availed ourselves OF the OPP
portnnity of min2lmg once more with
true and tried friends. The p.o-
posed enterprise seeneed to have the
sympathy Of the entire community,
irrespective of denoninational differ
erces. A serious family afflic!iuu
prevented the attendance of the miu>
lister in charge, the Rev. Mr.. McLees.
but the Rev. Mr.. Nall, Of GreenvilIc,
the other appointee, was present and,
aided by the Elder, cond, cted all the
proceedings in successful manner.
With no minister to assist him, and
III strange community, lie felt some
what embarrassed, but proceeded
calmly forward in the discharge of
duty. The church was organized on
Saturday, the 9Th ult., with thirteen
members. Brethren @. L. Hollirgs-
worth and j. E. Boggs were chosen
Elders and DR.. G. W. Earle Deacon.
AS usual in such cases, the women
were largely in the majority. Last

the formation OF three new Presbytc-

wit: Georges Creek, Central and
Pickens. As the old church thus
