made here this week to bring trouble on FL
mira's strongest aud oldest financial institu-
tion. tho Chcmung Canal Bank. For some
days rumors concerning the bank OF an un-
favorable character have been industriously
circulated. The concern is owned and man
aged by the Arnot family. with Mr. M. II.
Arnot. n careful and conservative fnancier at
the head. and 1t has stood many financial
storms and has come to be known as the

ers and merchants Tor miles around. These
rumors have had the effect OF inducing few
timid people to draw their money from the
bank. but have had little effect in the city.
where II ia known that the combined personal
wealth Of the partners exceeds fifty millions.
That the reports. which were entirely without
foundation. were started by malicious per
sons. was evidenced when this morning de-
positors found under the doors OF thoir dwell
ines notice which read: Draw your money
These lll.founded reports were spread to such
mn extent that this afternoon Mr.. NJ. II. Arnot
issued the following:
