An EXCITING SCEN8.-Am0ng the
six trained blood hounds coming with the
Boston Double Uncle Toms Cabin will
appear the famous dog Tiger. Tiger is
monst9f beast, and once belonged to Jar
rett & Palmer, of New York. He has
been twice across the waters to Europe,
and has an eventful history. Tiger is
we'll trained, and will be seen in his great
act at the performance Friday next. July
I'd, in the rocky pass scene, when Eliza
and her child are escaping among the
rocks. This monster beast, with muzzle
of, springs upon his victim, colored
slave, dashes him to the ground, and one
would naturally think the slave was being
torn to pieces, but he always manages
to get around to q good square meal next
morning.
The statement of assets and liabili-
ties of the Mower County Bank was filed
with the Clerk of Court yesterday after
noon. The assets, in round numbers,
are valued At 500, 900, consisting Of:
real estate $S5. 600; notes and accounts
go. 1888; farm machinery and stock on
farms $500; Canning Factory stock
$500; tax titles $500. The liabilities
figure up, in round numbers, $1O4, 900,
81, 600 Of which is secured by mortgage
on the larger portion Of the real estate.
This would leave about 100000 to be
got out of the $4,000 of other assets.
and of real estate not mortgaged, say
SIC, 600. Taking this statement as basis,
it is believed that 80 cents on the dollar
is more than can possibly be realized
from the assets.
