The estates Of William b Ogden, Mariana
A ogden and Andrew II. Green have been
for some time IN an unsettled condition,
unsatisfactory to those in charge OF them.
This is owing 70 the fact that the executors
and trustees of the estates have not been
able to lay their hands upon the books
and papers which record the transactions
of the estates for tho last two years. Such
books and papers as are attainable show
that there is a sum something less than
500 .O0o missing on the books Of the estates.

vatc secretary and confidential man of
Andrew II Green. and who kept the books
Of the Ogden estates, might help the
