'ILLY LANCASTER BANS. 7 —A run was made
oa the Lancaster Dank on Saturday and
Monday last, owing to rumors in circulation
affecting its credit. its notes were met on
those days, but on Tuesday morning the
doors were not opened, anti the following
written -announeetsout was posted in a con
spicuous position:
NorieE.—A run having been made upon
the Lancaster Bank, and its notes having
been refused by the banks of Philadelphia.
the officers deem it impossible to meet the
liabilities of the bank as they are presented,
and are therefore compelled to close the
bank.
The note-holders are adviscd not to sacri
fice the came, 'as the assets of the hank are
ausq. - csed to be sufficient to meet the cireula
tam and deposits. 4 statement, however,
kill be made to the public, as soon a% the
,ifficers elect can make an ema mi nation of the
bank. hi. RATAN o`, Cashier.
Lancaster, .Nove:nber 13, 1556.
'the Examiner says, this notice left no fur
ther doubt as to the condition of the institu
tion. The anxieties and fears which have
f. - :r a year or two past been felt in regard to
have proved to be but too well founded.
Nothing now remains but for the creditors
of the bank to look after their interests.
the liabilities of the bank, so fur as we
pan learn, consist of about $700,000 of cir
culation and $250,000 of deposits. The
notes in circulation will of course all be re
deemed, ultimately, at their full value, ft.
they will be first paid out of the assets; and
the stockholders are, moreover, individually
liable to the note-holders to the par value of
the stock held by each each one. That is,
for every share of stock held by any person
ho is liable to the amount of $5O to make
good the redemption of all the notes in cir
culation, in case the assets of the bank shall
not be sufficient for that purpose. Under
the worst possible aspect of the ease, thero- !
fors, there is no room to doubt that the note
holdars will all be paid to the last cent.—
The only inconvenience they can suffer will I
be a delay of some months, more or less.
The depositors have no claim upon the
stockholders—(the individual liability prin
ciple in this case covering only the claims
of note-holders)--and depend therefore
wholly upon the assets of the bank remain
ing after the note-holders shall have all been
paid. And for this purpose the capital of
the bank, which is $403,000, is of course
Taunted among the assets. Unless the bad
debts of the bank exceed the whole amount
of the capital the depositors will be paid in
full—and if the capital shall be found to
have been all sunk, the depositors will get a
pro-rata dividend out of the assets remain
ing after the note-holders are paid.
The following notice has been issued to
the stockholders:
NOTICE TO Tilt STuCKIIOLDINIS OF THE LAN
CASTER LANK.—A run having been made
upon the Lancaster Bank, and tho notes di.-
credited in Philadelphia and elsewhelc, the
Directors hate deemed it advisable to close
the Institution. They thei efure, request the
stockholders to assemble in general meeting,
on Saturday next, 22d inst., at 10 o'clock
M., at the Banking House in Lancaster,
to consider the affairs of said Blink.

Tnn TREATY.—Tho treaty with Great
Britain concluded by Mr. Dallas, and to
which recent reference has been made, it is
new stated arrived at Waz,bington several
weeks ago. It settles all questions hereto
fore existing relative to Central America,
and all other subjects of dispute between the
British and American Governments, except
ing the cla . ms by the Hud3,,n's Bay and
Ruget's Sound Agricultural companies, rola
the to t,iloged rights under the treaty of
I '345. Undcr the treaty negotiated by Mr.
Dallas, the Moccinito coast from We line of
Honduras to the Southern arm of the Sun
Juan river, and including the port and town
of San Juan is recognized to belong to Nic
aragua. The British protectorate over the
/ndia,ls is dropped, but with the understand
ing that the go.KI offices of both Governments
shall he used to secure fur them an equi‘a
lont protectorate from the Government of
Nicaragua. The Indians are to be provided
fur, with the consent of Nicaragua, by a
small annuity proceeding from the duties
collected at San Juan. There are very few
of these wretched being:, who are rapidly
disappearing under the eirc.2ts t.f disease and
general dogredation.

r?iWMGTITING DAY
This day was generally observed in this
town—the 'principal stores and other busi
ness places being closed, in accordance with
the wishes expressed by the Executive of
the Commonwealth. The same quiet that
generally marks ,the Sabbath prevailed, and
the churches open were well filled with atten
tive listeners.
It is highly proper that one day in the
three hundred and sixty-five, shoyld be set
apart for thanksgiving and praise to the
Father Almighty who so continually blesses
us with the richest gifts and favors; who ad
ministers to our wants as only Ile can, and
w h o Qeents to regard us as a peculiar p.op.le.
We have been most h;ghly favored; we have
received the smiles of Idresidence and been
the subject of his mercy, ever since we have
been established as a nation. Commencing
under a leader who acknowledged God; who
made His book the rule of his faith, and who
was guided by the precepts contained there
in, we hate advanced in every way, aston
ishingly; our wilderness has, emphatically,
blossomed as a rose, and out solitary places
have been made glad.
Attilla boasted that no blade of grass ever
grew beneath the fiery hoof of his war
horse we may rejoice that under the gov
ernment established by WAstrixcrox and
his compeers, every de:ert is becoming fer
tile and luxuriant, 'and every settlement
"waxing in fatness." The time will come
when there will ho no "solitary places" in
our large extent of e•mntry; when the wide
West will be settled by many men of valor,
and when the people from the East and the
• West will unite in the cry:--"Oh, how
I mighty and how great is that country now!"
Under the guidance of the Almighty we
have prospered and so long as we continue
faithful servants, we will be the first among
the nations. (:).sirtn, in his contemplation
of the greatness of . 7 tis land, never avendrd
to the sublime hei;,tl.t of sitcatiun, we as n
part of the world, now rest upon; his words
were theory, have been practising. Not
to us but unto God belongeth the praise.—
Render unto Cmear the things that are C,e
saes, and unto Cod the thing. that are God's.
Thanks and praise are always due Him who
ruleth the heavens and the earth. his uu
numbered gifts are wonderful ; and we
should feel deep gratitude in our inmost
hearts for Ills continued favors, and strive to
live more in accordance with the principles
established in the Book of books. "Gsitl is
its author, salration is its end, and truth,
without any mixture of error, its matter."
FllO3l M EXI CIL —We have ads-ices from the
city of Mexico to the 29th of October. The
revolutionists of Puebla had been van
quished. The sale of the Church property
was progressing. The new Minister front
the United. States had been presented, and
hod been received in the kindest manner.—
The Mexican Extraordinary of October :26th
contains a leading article, in which the pro
bable
dismemberment of the Republic is es
timated.
It appears that Senor Lafragurt
has issued a sort of manifesto, in which, af
ter alluding to the many pronuuciamentos,
ho uur. alas “am,.ther successful revolution. !
would cotter the dismemberment of the .711exi
, can nation, and create a number eg* small in
drperimcies which must sooner or later fill
a prey to some polcrifat Areign nation. In
this segregation each element would find a
location and there plant their ideas in a
government, an aristocracy, a democracy, a
wild demagoguism and various anarchies
would spring up that would battle with each
!other and with themsels es, until the name
of Mexico would pass among the relic ,, of
I the past:*
PUBLIC RECITATIONS
Cr, citizen of a Republic should be in
terested in the subject of public. speakinfr,
as ulniost every one has an opportunity or
is called upon at some time to address lib ,
fellow citizens, and nothing will gite him so
much influtnce, or be so al% an:agoutis to
his own interests as to be able to attract or
interest them. .Ind this ran be most e!Teo
tually done by a cultivation of tie gra..e;
of elocution. Even those, who mac lever ex
pect to speak, may have frequent ocea-ion
to read in select companies, and ; , ( a i roeb )
any accomplishment can he more entertain
ing or becoming to either ladies or gentle
men, than to be able M read with pr , per
emphasis, intonation and expression of the
author's sentiment. While, therefore, ninny
of our citizens have been crowding ezhib,
tions which, to say the least, were of very
doubtful tendency, and some which could
gratify only a very vitiated nr depraved
taste, I hope it will not bo said, to the la; L
ing discredit of our town, when one both in
teresting and improving is pre.entod to
theta, it is slighted or neglected. On nest
Tuesday evening, Mr. Armstrot.g, mcll
known as an excellent teacher 11111. , 11g us,
assisted by Rev. C.V. Thomp , m, of York,
whose celebrity as a pulpit orator has trav
elled before him, will give public recitations,
eleeted from some of our best writers, coin-
pt t gate, gay, humorous, dramatic.
Sic., and thus suiting all taste., in the Odd
Fellow.' flail. I have no doubt but that all
%vim attend will be highly gratified; and sin
cerely hlre tiny may be favored with a large
audim.cc. J. W. 3lrc.t.ticrr.
^_Another portion of the Northern Cen
tral Rail road Las been completed—being the
link from Bridgeport to Millersburg. Dau
phin county, a distance of twenty-six miles.
About tau at voks ago the President and Di
rectors of the Company, with a locomotive
and train of cars, passed over the new part
of the road to Millersburg, and found the
work substantially built and entirely satis
factory. Cars will be running between the
Lykens' Valley Coal Fields and Baltimore
in the course of four weeks. Tho work be
tween Trererton and -Millersburg is in such
a state of forwardness as to secure its com
pletion by the First of January. The last
ten miles between Trererton and Sunbury
' will be put under contract by the first of
December. and the entire line is expected to
be completed by the First of June, MT.

THE STREET CEOSSINGS.—We again e. 1.11
the attention of the public authorities to the
miserable condition of the crossings at the
corners of the principal streets. They- are
a disgrace to the'town and should be imme
diately repaired. At some places there is
not a single plunk fur a lady to set her little
fuot upon and'unless she can maim a big
step she is compelled to wade the gutter or
"go around" some considerable distance. If
the Supervisor will not attend to such things
our old friends of the Town Council should
take the matter in hand. The "masterly
inactivity" which once characterized their
proceedings will not again we trust, become
a characteristic of the body. We call par
ticular attention to the crossings at Ilrandt's
corner and at tiniou and Second streets.
Sinec writing; the abole we have received
a communication 011 the sul t ect from I. A.
B. which is fully truthful but rather severe.
If however, the improvements should nut be
made before our next issue, we will Dcry
cheerfully give her article to the public, and
"tnanife't her affection to the borough fath
ers," as she desires.
Now that the :. , ason of wet feet is coming
on, and as cur fair and beautiful will wear
thin soled slippers, it certainly behooves all
tho,e who haN c the health of the ses at heart
to use pro ent:ves. We believe there is
still a bachelor or two in the Town Council,
who certainly will pay some respect to these
things—men if they ore otherwi , c deriliet
in their duo y to the c.,untry.
ItcsawArs.--On Monday last, a horse
which Joseph flogentugler was driving, be
came frightened in coming down Walnut
street, and dashed off at furious speed.
Lly the deatereus management of the driver,
the animal and wacron were in a short time
brought up against the fire plug at the cor
ner of Second and Walnut streets, Mr. Ho
gentogler being slightly bruised, and the
wogon SDUICAN hat hroken.
On the same day, two horrea attached to
a W belangMg to Col. S. P. Lindemath,
were frightened at the unearthly yell of a
lucumutis c, mid breaking loo , e ft um the boy
who was holding them, started off at full
speed up Walnut street, frightening the wo
men and children. They were at length re
coveted, without damage to anyb,dy, we
believe.
In connection with the above, we desire to
say a word regarding the infernal and al
together useless noise of the whistles of the
locomotives now in use. It seemsto us that
the engineers on every train desire to sur
pass each other in injuring the hearing of
individuals of tender t3mpanums, and strive
to excel in making the most noise. They
are probably trying to rival the St. Charles
furnace which m cry morning about i o'clock,
blows a blast, (something short of an hour,)
disturbing everybody in their early naps
and making earth ring again with the din
of—well, not of sweet sounds. We hope the
engineer of that furnace as well as those of ;
the locomoth es on the road will have coin
passion on all who desire an hour's quiet
kRIES --A 1:1111sT.--SCN eta ' \
houses in this place Caere b:uken into on
Monday el citing last and various articles,
amounting to a considerable sum in the ag
gregate, abstracted. On Tuesday, two men
calling themselves John Greene and John
Wilson, were arrested and taken before Esq.
Flans. From the testimony, it appears
that these men broke into the dwellings of
Messrs. J. B. Bachman, John Ferguson,
Washington Righter, Benj. Myers, 0. Har
per, Mrs. White, Mrs. McKissick, Tinw,
Welsh, and others. They stole e‘erytitinz,
they could find, front pies and cakes up to
silverware and money. They were hold
and determined, as they were unscrupulous
and villainous. They tried set eral houses
which they did not succeed in entering.—
They shmved dy their course proceeding
that they were adepts at the business and it
is highly fortunate that they arc now in the
orong box in the suburbs of Lancaster city.
The c‘idt nee against them is of such a (-liar
rimer as to render it pretty certain that the
parties arrested arc guilty. We hope tday '
will meet their dr s-r,.ts. Columbia bas been
for a long time subject to such things, mai

PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL—Town Council
met—present, Messrs. Black, Manton, Mur
phy, Bees, and Welsh, Prest.
The object of the meeting was stated •by
the Chairman to be to consider thi propriety
of changing the hour of market. A petition
was presented from citizens, farmers and
others, asking for a change in the hour for
commencing market.
Mr. Black - moved that the hour for open
ing the market, on antrafter Saturday, 22d
instant, be 2P. M. On this motion the yeas
and nays were culled, and were as follows:
Yeas—Messrs. Black, Manton, Murphy and
Rees. Nov—Mr. Welsh, Prest. So the
question was decided iu the affirmative, and
the Clerk of the Market was instructed to
7ive notice accordingly.

J. W. FISUER, Clerk
Foust' Dttowsrn.—The body of a colored
man named Richard Sampson, better known
as "Yankee Sick," wltis disco vered floating in
the river at the seventh pier of the bridge from
the Wrightsville side, yesterday morning.—
The corpse was brought to ourshore, on a flat,
when Esq. Hunter, dep. Coroner, summoned
a jury who returned a verdict of "found
drowned." There were no marks of violence
on the person of deceased, and nothing to
show that his death was not accidental.—
We learn that he was of intemperate habits,
and the general itnprecsion is that he fell off
a boat in a state of inebriety. On his per
son he had three shirts, a pocket book con
taining two gold dollar pieces, (one bogus,)
two levies and one fip, also one or two pa
pers of nu value. Several witnes.es swore
to his identity as "Yankee Dick." He is
from the vicinity of Owego, and under the
cognomen or nickname mentioned, is well
known in this neighborhood.
Cnic,:zxllr.VT.S.-Our citizens should
procure patent coops at once, as the chicken
thieves arc about again and going it with a
rush. On Saturday night last some dozen
persons were relies ed of their all in this line.
On Tuesday night last the game was con
tinued and among those who were victims,
we regret to learn, was our friend Cul. A. S.
Green—a gentleman who knows how to ap
preciate chickens, as well as delicacies of all
kinds, about as well as any one we know.—
We can sympathize with him, as we have
heretofore met with similar ill luck.

"TIM. COO: TE HATE ALWAYS WITH Tot. "
—Now thnt the winter season is coining on,
a correspondent sends us a moving appeal
in behalf of the suffering poor. Among oth
er things he says that if rich people instead
of throwing away, or putting into useless
old trunks, their cast off clothing, would on
ly give them to the poor a great deal of
good would result to the hundreds of poor
who are already beginning to shiver under
the cool blasts of winter.
Give, therefore, your cast off garments
' when they will warm some poor little child
or clothe a ragged boy who is just trying to
make a man of himself; or enable a hard
working widow in poverty to send her scan-
I
tilt' dressed children to the glorious Free or
Sunday school.
Much can be done even with old clothes.—

SUPPOSED DEATEL OF GEORGE Foan.-- 7 A.
Buenos Ayers (South American) paper of
the 13th Sept., contains the following para
graph, which many think refers to George
Ford, formerly of Lancaster. We are in
clined to think, however, that he is not the
EMI
"George Ford, an American, who has lat
terly had a house of business near the Villa
of Mercedes, was found dead by the side of
a brook, a few squares distant from his dwel
ling. A gun was found by his side, and the
body bore evident traces of a violent death
but whether inflicted by his .own hand or
that of another, has not yet been ascertained
and from the comparative solitude of the
place, may probably remain, like so many
others, involved in mystery. Deceased was
in the prime of life, and we believe has no
family or relatives in this country."
21Z5 - 31r. Tobias B. Stehman, one of the
oldest and most esteemed farmers of Manor
twp., was "gathered to his fathers," at the
good old age of three score and ten, on Wed
nesday last. Mr. Stehman was well known
in this and adjoining counties as a very suc
cessful cattle raiser, his flue, fat, heavy cat
tle always eliciting admiration and securing
a ready market and high prices.-3fariettian.
FIRE.—The eoachniaker shop of Mr. Mar
tin Herr, in Strasburg, was destroyed by
fire on Friday evening, 14th inst. It is not
knl!Pwn how the fire originated.
GREAT Loss or LIFE.—The steamer Lyon
anise, on her passage from New York to
Havre, with about one hundred and fifty
souls on board, was run into on the night of
the 2d inst., and so much injured that she
was abandoned. The passengers and crew
took to boats and rafts. The second Mate's
boat containing eighteen persons, two of
whom subsequently died, was discovered by
a Bromen vessel and the survivors rescued.
Of the rafts and other boats nothing has
been heard, and it iv feared that, as the
weather was cold and the sea rough, every
soul, souse hundred and thirty in number,
' must have perished. Nothing was seen of
the vessel that ran into the Lyonnaise after
the collision, and it is supposed that she
sunk almost immediately.
Since the above was written we have seen
despatch from Boston, dated 17th, stating
that it was the bark Adriatic which came in
collision with the Lyonnaise. She has ar
rived safely.
Tun 'IMPERIAL GODCIIILDRES.—It will be
remembered that at the birth of the French
Prince Imperial, the Emperor promulgated
a decree, promising. that himself and Em
press would act as sponsors to all the legi
timate children born on the 16th of March,
1850—the day of the young prince's birth.
In accordance with this promise, the minis
ter of the imperial household has just issued
trevcts to each family coming within the pro
visions of the decree. The minister states
that aid has already been extended to the
most necessitous of these families, and that
in case of the decea , e of any of the parents,
the fact should immediately be made known
to the Emperor, the intention of his Majesty
being to educate the orphans at his own ex
pense—which is to say, at the expense of
SII PIIT.ST or Pons.—The Lonisl ilk Cour
ier of Monday notes the shipment of 250
barrels of pork on the mail boat Moses Mc-
Lellan, for Montreal. It goes by the river
to Cincinnati, and from thence by railroad
to Baltimore. The sane paper adds:—
"Daring the past ten days or two weeks
considerable quantities of pork and bacon
have been shipped, or forwarded, westward,
via the Jeffersonville railroad. The ship
ments have exceeded 0000 barrels, and the
stock on hand has thus been materially re
duced. The stock on hand does not exceed
10,000 barrels, of all qualities. The mail
boat ycnterday was receiving a large amount
of flour, cement. and other items—a good
evidence that the river commerce -is at
length frilly renewed, and that freights will
be materially reduced.

A PROVIDENTIAL MAN
There is no aspiration so glorious as the
desire to do good. Howard, bending over
the conch of sickness and smoothing the pil
low of death, was greater than Napoleon at
Austerlitz. And Thomas Holloway, whose
inestimable medicines arc subduing diseases
of every type in every part of the inhabita
ble globe, is more worthy of respect and hon
or than any warrior that ever drew the
sword. When Kossuth visited the United
States he was designated by one of our cler
gy as the "providential man." Surely Pro
fessor Holloway, who has come to our coun
try on a nobler errand, better deserves that
title. His establishment in New York has
been the foetal source of health to thousands
of our afflicted fellow citizens. His agen
cies, established in every city and town in
the 'Union, are the people's dispensaries.—
What is true of the popularity of his medi
cines here, is true throughout the world; for
wherever citilization has penetrated, by
land nr sea, they arc known and appreciated.
From Greenland to Terra del Fuego—from
the Mississippi to the Ganges—they are ad
vertised in es ery printed language, and re
sorted to by races of every name and color,
as the only reliable and proven remedies in
all the phases of disease. The lending med
ical periodicals of London and Edinburgh
not only except Holloway's Pills and Oint
ment from their general denunciations of
patent medicines, but unreservedly com
mend them. In short, if wo arc to believe
concurrent testimony of all nations, Profes
sor Holloway has done more to ameliorate
human buffering and rob the grave of vic
tims, than any other medical discoverer of
this or any former age. We have unques
tionable authority for saying that his cen
tral offices for the old and new world—Lon
don and New York—send out annually more
than ten millions of dollars' worth of his
medicines. The statistics of the cures ef
fected by their means, cannot, of course, be
ascertained, but judging from the facts with
in our own limited sphere of observation we
should say that no ordinary quarto volume
could contain the record. Surely the dis
coverer and philanthropist who has accom
plished such results may, without arrogance,
be styled a providential man.—.Y. 0. Pica

,ser•Am on g the names of passengers who
are supposed to have perished on the Lyon
naise, is that of Mr. Albert Sumner, a broth
er of lion. Charles Sumner, and who has re
sided for some years at Newport, Rhode Is
land. He is a gentleman of wealth and
standing, and partakes of tastes and aecom
' plishments of his kindred. It is a singular
and melancholy coincidence that another
brother of Mr. Sumner—llemce—a young
man of great promise, lost his life by drown
at the wreck of the ship Elizabeth, on Fire
Island, in 1850, on which occasion Margaret
Fuller Ossoli, her husband and child, also
perished.
NOLTHLAN P.E.p;SYLVANIA RAILROAD.—Th is
road, on which the terrible accident to an
excursion train occurred in July last, has
become so deeply involved, that an appeal
to the Corporation of Philadelphia, already
a subscriber to its stock to the amount of
$1,400,000, has been made. It proposes a
sale by the city to the company, of 0,000
shares of the Pennsylvania Railroad Stock
at par, payable in the first mortgage bonds
of the North Pennsylvania Railroad Corn
pany, at 25 per cent, discount, conditioned
on a like amount being sold to other parties,
on equally favorable terms.

in the trough of the sea, when the water
commenced making over her, despite the ef

Faeces.
Thirty-five persons were lost and sixteen
saved.
THE ENGLISH MISSION.—It is asserted that
letters have been received from Mr. Dallas,
dated the 24th of October, stating that he is
prepared to accept the first hint from the in
coming administration for his return; and is
even inclined to tender his resignation, so as
to avoid the contingency. The latter course
would be quite acceptable to troops of ex
pedants. Mr. Dallas complacently inti
mates that the object for which he went to
England—the treaty lately made—being ac
complished, there is no longer any necessity
for his stay.
HUN. KENNF.7II RATNER-It is stated that
a personal difficulty occurred on Monday
last, in the streets of Raleigh, North Caro
lina, between lion. Kenneth Rayner and
the editor of the Standard, growing out of
Mr. Rayner's speech in Philadelphia, pre
ceeding the Presidential election, and the
strictures of the editor named thereupon.—
Mr. Rayner inflicted several blows upon his
adversary with a cane, when they were sep
arated and bound over in $4,000 each, to
keep the peace.
Two curious cases of intermarriage
have occurred in Newton county, Georgia.

e&-Ilolloway's Pills, a most famous Rem
edy for the cure of Nervousness and Gener
al Debility.—Tasper M'Cann, of Brooklyn,
Long Island, New York, was without doubt
a severe sufferer from nervous and general
debility, the least thing provoked his irrita
bility, put him in a passion, and laid him
up: this was caused by the bad state of the
fluids, and though he tried many remedies
for this complaint, he was not benefitted.—
At length he had recourse to Holloway's
Pills, which quickly performed their part,
by removing the injurious fluids from the
system, cleared his head, restored tone and
vigor to the stomach, and after five weeks
perseverance, restored him to the blessings
of health.
