CURED in Dexter on the evening Of the
22d of February, 1873, are we'll known to
everybody. After the burial of the cash
Ter, an effort was made to solve the myS-
terry that surrounded the case but it was
apparently abandoned, and the world
was left to believe that Mr.. Barron died
rather than surrender the treasure Of the
bank to robbers. 1t is stated, however,
that Mr. \. +. Bradbury, President Of the
bank, and the present cashier Mr., Geo
Hamilton, have never been satisfied with
the fact OF Mr.. Barron's being in the bank
until LBS in the afternoon on NaShing-
tons birthday. and of his being SO busiy
engaged that he could find no time to 90
to his dinner. They never have been
reconcled to the mechanical manner in
which the coal hod, false teeth and pen
holder were arranged and there We're
some other details connected with the dis
coyerv about which they thought a great
deal, though saying nothing. ON the LIST
of November, ISIS, Mr.. George Hamil
ton, the new cashier, IN making up his
report to send to the bank examiner, ".

abilities OF the bank were $50, 3lHll,
making an apparent deficit OF 10000 be

ual liabilities as shown by the general de-
post book and trial balance. On max
lng this discovery, they examined ali The
entries on the books, from that date back
