There is a dis- crepancy in the amounts due depositors be- tween the deposit books and the general ledger of about $40,000, but the examiner thinks it the result of carelessness in carrying accounts for- ward and opening different accounts.

He paid several sums of money to have the case dismissed. Hearing of the indict- ment he went tothe court and gave bail. A Goodrich Fay soon came to him \d said he could bave the case dismissed by the payment of $2,000, which money was to be divided between Fay and Sanborn. He also paid $1,000 to Jad, Davis, at that time district attorney. He said be paid the $2,000 demanded to rid of the al, although he was entirely innocent of the charge.

RELIgF POR THE SUFFERERS P| oF THE Mississirrit River—Ex- A fertile mind myseif seduced, And what was easy led me far; Each day produced its subjects lucid, And every morning died my star. A thousand wrangles with the cattle Who crop the grass and low at man, Gave all the earnestness of battle To squabbles mean and partisan. The mighty art I had entreated, Became the servitor of fools; And into issues old and fetid 1 bent the suavity of schools. The more of men I knew, more lonely Myseif seemed wandering from me; And in my social chains there only Lived this great longing: to be tree. Not free to hate my brethren human, But free to keep my sou! more pure, And with mild light the time illamine By less confounding literature. For while I heard the shot of slander, And saw the birds of splendor fall, Iknew my ege, in perfect candor, To be the perfect age of all: The young men walked to death undaunted, The slave bay Freerssy ed a man becams, And groves by bloody Druids haanted Were oped te light or put to dame. The worst of rulers still was truer Than tamous Kings of heathen times, The oldest injury was newer ‘Than newest wrongs in older climes. And while, cei trend ages T see, And thought God's love nowhere so free Nor life so good as Pocomoke. Tombs. The old Presbyterian churchyard in Georgetown contains many and suggestive gravestones.
