account in 1861. Adrian Iselin was
made the receiver, but waa not able to
save anything of consequence out OF

in hunting up all the creditors Of his
old firm or thSir legal representatives.
and 80 each he ia giving a check for
his third of the amount owed. When
the whole sum is discovsrou he will
add interest at per cent from 1861. II
