Bank Swindllng,

Nathan p. Pratt treasurer of the Reading
Savings bank, Reading, Mass, tried upon 81
counts for embezziement has been found guilty
on 20 counts. The case goes to the Supreme
Court: Pratt's bail was fixed at S95,
Shortly after conviction q q startling paper in
possession Of Pratt's counsel was made public.
It is the confession of Sidney s. Pratt, son Of
tho prisoner, and up to within few months
chief clerk, book-keeper and cashier of the bank
Of which bis father was treasurer. He takes en-
tire responsibility of the defalcations, and details
the mannar in which the steaings were effected.
He abstracted the mortgages, insurance policies,
etc., from the bank and realized upon them and
replaced them with cunningly executed forger-
les. He sold $10,0U0 in government bonds de.
posted in bank as collateral, substituting in
the envelope old papers. He negotiated paper
with other banks to the extent of $40, 1000 and
systematically stole from the deposits when
handed in. All his transactions he kept from the
knowledge Of the bank officers, but he says the
exercise of ordinary care on their part would
have prevented any wrong by him. His steal
ings aggregated over $13O, 900, and will make
the bank insolvent and entirely without assets
to pay some 800 depositors. The son fed be.
fore the father was arrested. His whereabouts
are now unknown.
Suit has been brought against directors Of the
Mechanics aud Traders bank at New Orleans,
La, to recover $145, 900, the amount due to de-
positols anu other creditors. The directors ore
charged with valueing assets at 1891 600 when
not worth more than $4,000. Petitioners
alege the bank was to the knowledge of direct
ors insolvent for the year preceding the failure.

EDiFoR CHIEF:
Dear ,Si,.-I noticed in last weeks
CHIEF, communications from parties in
regard to the condition Of cane in my
neighborl,ood also abont it not being
injured more than five per cent: on the
Burnside places. ! ain surprised that
their cane has not been hurt from the
late freeze. sss 5,ss
Ii, my letter to the Democrat, which 1
sec You have reproduced iii your columns,
l stated that the cane on my place was
killed more thoroughly this season than
ut any one previous since have owned
this plantation.
Ny reason for surprising We wonld
hear general complaints from planters
was based on the following fact: # there
had been clear, warm weather, just after
the freeze, the acid from the cane tops,
would have run down the stalks, thereby
causing the eyes to sprout !. this alone
would have Nude a material difference
to its present yield, which feared would
be the case. I have not. as yet com
menced to grind windrowed cane, and
therefore can not tell to ,what extent it
may be injured. . y. ~. 81.
Tho cane stand on my river front in
years past never suffered from, freeze
as it did this year. Tie tops are com
pletely burnt, aud appear as if fro had
ragged through them. / was greatly sur
prised, however, when noticed the stalk
more closely, totfnd that the eyes have
not been killed, but are us good as ever.
I haye ground up to date 1870 acres,
and the yield from same is GOO, 900 lbs, or
500: ll1ds,, ut AL average Of. 1900 lbs, net.
! have still 40 acres TO- grip9,I 12O in
and the balance standing, but
1 think, should tho weather continue as
lad 10 it has 6ee,, the cane in ..wipdrow
will be damaged to a considerable extent.
The roads here, as elsewhere, are ut
terly imr.ssable, and it is only BY great
expense and hard sexertions Chat we can
keep our mill running.
