BLACK SATURDAY.
COLLAPSE OF THE HENRY BANK, AFTER
TWENTY YEARS RUNNING.

Last Saturday morning the doors
of the VIM. T. Henry bank, of this
city, were closed and notice posted
of the suspension of business. 1t
was soon learned that during Friday
night an assignment had been made
to Joseph II. Gundry The cause
which led to this was, that accord
ing to the provisions of Mr..
Henry's will, there was to be no
present settlement of the estate, but
business was to be continued as
before after his death, Mrs. Henry
put his life insurance into the bust
ness, which strengthened it for some
time, but the great stringeney in
the money market made it necessary
to borrow some money to tide over
the shoal. Correspondents, however,
were not willing to loan money in
the present condition of the title of
the property, hence the suspension.
1t is yet too early to give actual
figures, but so near as can he learn
ed the liabilities are about $4,000,
assets more than a 100000.
Natural enough, the shock being
generally unlocked for, our city's
business and manners assumed q
grave and melancholy all, but its
prevalence was only of one or two
days duration, as further insight
into the affecting influence the break
would have upon our business men,
proved that it will only be nominal
and tnfiing to what it might have
been. Anxiety is depicted upon
many, which tells plainly that they
are depositors, who, together with
the parties responsible for the bank,
have the general sympathy Of the
public.
More particulars will be given as
they develop.
