 The exact amount of the liabilities and assets is not known, but there is no likelihood that that institution will survive the shock caused by the dis covery of the heavy shortage.
 Farmers were among the heaviest leposite Ss ill the bank, and it's failure will be hard blow to them.
 Suicide Yesterday Evening.
 The books of the bank were being audited by all expert accountant. The affairs of the bank were proceeding in an apparently satisfactory manner and there was no intimation of any hing being wrong.
 Evidently fearing the result of all iayestisation. F. Drennen left the bank about i o'clock yesterday, saying that he would return soon.

The asylum board has instructed
that an inventory be made of the ar
ticles brought in By the insane at
the time OF their arrival which has
been stored in the garrett Of that in
sttution and some OF which has been
there for 20 years. the owners Of
wh ch have been dead for long
time, says the Salem Journal.
There are stored away in the gar
ret Of the asylum more than a hum
dred trunks and about 900 valises
and different styles of cases Of
these, the owners of 50 OF the cases
md 30 Of the trunks are dead
The trunks are Of all styles and
Kinds; in size from midget chlld's
trunk to the mammoth size usually
used more for the storing away Of
goods rather than for the moving Of
them. There are trunks which are
80. by courtesy only, having been
originally ice-chests. egg-crates and
various other kinds Of cases. but
which the ingenuity Of the owner has
transformed into some kind OF re-
ceptacle for clothing
one is able to fairly well deduct
the cause which placed the unf)rtu-
mates in the asylum by a glance
through these trunks. Here a trunk
almost filled with Bibles makes it
plain that the person who owned 1t,
became mentally unbalanced because
Of religious fervor.

STRANGE POSSESSIONS Of INSANE PEOPLE.

Another from which several hypo-
dermic syringes and needs rolled, as
it was turned over, told only too
plainly the truth that the one to
whom they belonged had lost his rea-
son through the use Of morphine and
other dope"
Some, Of course have their af-
flictions which do not appear in their
belongings. or perhaps do appear in a
peculiar manner, but which the ordi-
nary observer is unable to judge.
Among the clothing of one Of the un-
fortunate inmates was found a wrap
per made of thousands Of different
colored clothes. Another kept her
clothing stuffed with hundreds Of
pieces Of torn dresses.
1t has been dec ded that the cloth
ing being wasted by being stored
away shall now be put to some use.
The inmates will be clothed in such
garments as they bring with them in
to the institution, and that which is
still servlceable and the owners of
which have died or left the asylum,
will be given to the other patients.
A great quantity Of the trunks and
cases, which are falling apart from
wear and old age, are to be destroyed
after they have been passed upon by
the board.

maches street al 1880 O'Clock Thurs
