Monday evening Judge McCuc
held Especial session of the district
court for the purpose of hearing the
application of Ritter x Doubleday
to set aside the assignment of July
~. The application was granted
and in short time; the next ten
days probably. the bank will re
open for business.
In conversation with Mr.. Double
day one day this weeA, he informed
us that the prospects for business
on reopening were tlattering and
said. IL am. of course, very glad the
date of the reopening is near at
hand and probably it need not be
said it will be a happy moment 10
me when the doors are again thrown
open for business, an end to which
i have endeavored to give my eff
forts and thought increasingly,
without stint or reserve, and in
which have been warmly supported
and aided by Mr.. Ritter. our friends
the depositors and many who
owed us. and other friends.
I'VE have recently been greatly
encouraged by many coming TO us
and volunteering the statement that
they would do their depositing with
us as soon as the bank should re-
sumo business. These assurances
have come alike from farmers, bust
ness men and others, and are very
gratifying to us"
There are few things yet to be
accomplished before reopening,
but it is hoped they will cause us
no great delay."

ONE OF THEM.
ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.

An Elmira IN. W dispatch OF the
10th inst, tells story in which
people of this locality will be deeply
interested from the fact that l.. c.
Shear, who figures so conspicuously
and seriously in the story, was for
merly a resident of St. Johnsbury
and is well remembered here. The
dispatch reads thus:
"After a search of 80 years Chief
Little believes he has located the
murderer of two guards in the Union
prison camp located here during the
had enlisted IN New York was sta
toned in the camp. He gave his
name as Stewart. For drunkenness
he was confined in the guard-house.
One night he invited his guards to
drink liquor which he had obtained.
The liquor contained poison, and
both guards soon fell into stupor
from which they never recovered.
Stewart was convicted Of murder
and sentenced to be hanged. He
escaped the night before the day set
for his execution. His mother, CIV
ing the name of Shear, had applied
to President Lincoln for pardon. In
July, 1861, Leroy Claiming Shear
passed forged check for $100 on
Dey Brothers, dry goods merchants
of this city, but got away before the
forgery was discovered. He finally
turned up in the Albany penitenliary,
where he is now serving a term of
ten years for grand larceny, having
been sentened from Albany under the
name of Mallory. Chief Little began
an investigation of the criminals
record. He is now convinced that
Shear the forger and young Stewart
the soldier murderer of 1868 are one
and the same person. The belief is
strengthened by Shears horror of
coming to Elmira. He will be
brought to this city on charge of
forgery"
