THE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday, August 1S-p. m.
BY the operations OF the New-York Sub-Treas-
ury In the week ended last night the associated
banks lost 81. 222 The weekly bank statement
published to-day showed an average gain in cash
Of 81, 76s. 900. BY whatever cause. the movement
was unnatural. This is the when cur
rency ought TO leave this centre. but In direct
opposition TO custom the, statement showed
marked increase In currency. The further ex-
pansion in loans by 81 1875 100 was explainabe
only by better demand for money. little OF
this was from mercantile sources and possibly
the larger business in stocks and securities
counted for something. The increase in deposits
was larger than other changes demanded. but
the statement was fairly consistent in It's de-
tails The result Of all the changes was an In
crease In the surplus reserve OF ss03.soo and the

lived, the county being named after him.
Ny father, James Guthrie, knew Boone
well-in fact, he lped him TO saw out
the planks from which his coffin was
made, years before his death. Boone was
a man who was not troubled much with
sickness, but he began to feel that old
age was creeping on and his time TO go
could not be many years away. In those
days such thing as a steam sawmill was
not dreamed OF, and there were no saw
mills run by water in that county.
''They used whip saw in the frontier
country to saw out planks, a saw pit be-
ing prepared in which the man on the
under side OF the log sat- and holding the
handle, sawed TO a line marked on the
log. The one who held the handle above
was called the top-sawyer. 1t was work
requiring judgment, and if he was good
one he was a bigger man than Judge or
Sheriff. That is the way, suppose, that
the phrase He's a top-sawyer,' came in
use through the West
MY father was top-sawyer and Boone
sawed IN the pit. The planks were made
from cherry log, and Boone took them
home and seasoned them in dry-kiln.
When they were well seasoned Boone
made his coffin from them and kept it in
his house till MS death. 1t was we'll
made and air-tight, and when Boone
would strike on it it would sound like a
drum.
That was six years before he died, and
he slept in the room with it all that time.
He also picked out the place where he
wished to be buried, and asked his
friends to inter him there. Ten years
after his death his body was taken up,
believe, and taken back to Frankfort,
near his old home in Kentucky, whore he
was again inferred.
