EXTRAORDINARY EMBEZZLEMENT.—A
case of embezzlement has lately been
brought to light in Sterling, Mass.,which is
attracting considerable attention . J. T.
lintterick, Postmaster at Sterlihg, and a
- Director in the Lancaster Bank, is the per
son concerned. It appears' that Batterick,
who had the entire confidence of his neigh
bors, would secure their signatures to blank
motes, with . the understanding that they
were to be:alled out with some arnalisurn, a
hundred or , two dollars. He would then
:go to the second party and represent that
he sighers of the notes wanted to use
that amount of money, and asked the en
orlorsement of the note:as a personal favor.
This was usuallk, granted, and having ob
-tabled the signatures of two responsible
Iparties, he ,would fill out the note for
a larger amount than that stated, and offer
- it for discount at the bank. He being a di
knctor, rendered this easy of accomplish
ent.' He would take the money, ostensibly
ito carry it to the parties who were on the
mote, but would use it for his own purposes.
This operation he continued for some time,
.and not nntilthe signers had their property
- attached were. they aware of the non-pay
anentof the notes or the amount for which
- they had been filled out. •it is stated that
about twenty farmers have lost all their
property by this , operation. • Butteriok has
been arrested and pat under heavy bail.

THE-WAR ON THE CON-
Interesting from Germany, Italy,
The Sitnatidia in Germany..
[From
Mom the Independence Beige,. Jane MI
The situation is becoming very delicate
on the side of the Duchies; but it seems that
war has as much diffioulty in breaking out
as peace has en maintaining itself. In con
.voking the States'of Holstein, and submit=
ting to the Federal Diet the solution of the
question of succession, due allowance being
made for the rights of • the • populations—
superior to any diplaznatto act whatever=
Austria has incontestably acted against the
convention concluded between her and
Prussia on the 16th Jan. 1864;thatia to say,a
fortnight before the entry of their troops into
Schleswig, by virtue of - which agreement
the two powers formally engaged to take no
decision on the succession in the Duchies
unless by common accord. The Convention
of Gastein,which divided the condonthilum,
giving Schleswig to Prussia and Holstein
to Austria, could not modlfythose recip
rocal engagements, and Prussia was there
fore strictly in her right when she protested
with energy against the new programme of
the Court of Vienna, but after having pro
tested she has acted; and in order to resume
possession of her part of the sovereignty,she
has sent her troops to occupy Rendsburg
and Kiel, where there are already Austrian
garrisons,as well as the city of Itzehoe,where
the States of Holstein were to meet on Mon
day next, in virtue df their convocation by
the Court of Vienna. The Prussians hav
ing entered Holstein,a collision under these
circumstances appeared inevitable with the
Austrian troops. But these have withdrawn
to Altona, protesting in their turn, and de
clarirg that they are awaiting the orders of
the Emperor. Thus the war is again ad
journed for the moment.
[From the Augsburg Gazette, Jane ie.'
A glance at the map suffices to fix with.
out difficulty the position of the troops. The
centre is placed between the fortresses of
Prague and Olmutz; the left wing extends
from Prague towards the frontiers of Sax
ony , that is to say, along the Erzgebirge;
whose passes it occupies; while the right
wing leans on the intrenched camp of
Cracow. All this position, with its
fortresses of Prague, Olmutz, Kcenigs
gratz, Josephstadt and Cracow, is
very strong, and far superior to
the Prussian potitions between Rose],
Neisse, Glatz, and Goerlitz. The corps
ci'armees cantoned in the intrenched camp of
Cracow, and forming the extreme right of
the Army of the - North, is, above all, a atm:
tegical menace, to Prussia of a very serious
character. The Austrian force issuing from
Cracow might in • fact,. ay an act of -
overthrow the left Prussian wing, and in
spite of the strongholds of Kosel and Niesse,
operate a vertical movement on the Prus
sian lines of communication, Oppeln and
Brieg, and even on the central point, Etres.
lau, which would have a decisive effect on
the campaign in Silesia. Nothing is ne
glected to make Cracow an immense in
trenched camp.

[Prom the Paris Union, Jane 1.1
"If Prussia," says the writer, "had enter
tabled the slightest hope of seeing, we do
not say a majority, but. only a respectable
minority, support her designs, she would
have taken care not to oppose her bayonets
to the Austrian decree. She would have
protested, perhaps, for form's sake, bur she
would •have allowed it to be carried out,
promising herself hereafter to draw an ad
vantage from a 'deliberation which she
would have been able to refer to with the
more effect: that she would not have pro
voked it. Would not such a position have
beercan unexpected piece of good fortune
Tor her, that Austria should have taken
upon herself to interrogate the legat
representatives of the country. she
would have supported her pretensions on a,
discussion, a manifestation, a movement to
which she would not in any way have' con
tributed—which she would even have op
posed. What force and what prestige that
would have given her! Whatever opinion
may be entertained of Count de Bismarck,
it cannot be admitted that he has not per
ceived the excellent card offered to him by
the rival Power, if he had believed himself
able to count on aolistein. If! but he does
not reckon upon it; he knows that he cannot;
and that is why he replies with arms to a
pacific convocation of the States; that is why
he undertakes to suppress by an inva
sion the manifestation of the national
conscience. Well, that is simply a blunder
and a fault; a blunder because he thus
places himself under the necessity of dis
pensing with the bayonet the representa
tion of Holstein; and a fault because, what
ever happens, the presence of Prussian sol- ,
diets in the Duchy will protest more loudly
egainst annexation than any • vote of the
assembly could do. From this moment it
is elem. that Prussian domination is unpoP
ular in Holstein; and that it can only be
established theze by violence. Prussia her
self says so, in order to prevent the States
from making the affirmation." .
A Short War.
[From La France, done s.l
Austria and Italy are commencing the
conflict with exhausted finances, the defi
ciency of which cannot be compensated fOr
by the paper money they are creating. They
cannot make an ,appeal= to public credit,
which would not be responded to. In Prus
sia, where the state of the finances was ap

the army by taking workmen from the fac
tories, farm laborers from the fields, and
merchants from their offices, has brought
on. an unexampled commercial and eco
nomical crisis.. In that case the question
is not one of financial embarrassments
—it is the social life and inodustive
activity , which are suspended; the disasters
which may arise cannot- - - be foreseen.

EXTENSIVE SWINDLING OPERATION
Canadian IBanks Vietimized-4200,000 in
, spurious Drafts tasted..
I From the Toronto Globe, Ride
The particulars of one of the most gigan
tic swindling schemes, ever concocted on
the other side, have just been revealed in
this city by the arrest of some of the princi
pals at Lockport. New York, where several
of the villains had retired to spend their ill=
gotten gains, in the expectation of tindiet
turbed felicity. The facts, as detailed, pre
sent a scheme, so skilfully planned as might
have insured success, but for the dream
stance that their victims, once on the alert,
were as sharp as the swindlers, and now,
with the aid of detectives, have succeeded
in bagging the greater number of of them
About eight orten months ago an establish
ment styled the Canton Banking House
was started in the town of Canton, St. Law.;
rence county, New York. The per
sons engaged in the undertaking—some
thirty in number obtaining all the
paraphernalia of a legitimate institution,
bad made their business notice sufficiently
public, and took other precautions to en
deavor to assure the public that they were
on a sound basis. Meanwhile, their swind
ling operations were set on foot, persons
being despatched in all directions with
drafts on the Second National Bank of New
York, drawn by a Mr. Clarke, who has
since turned State's evidence in the hope of
escaping from the web so completely woven
around his confederates. He has stated
that no less than two hundred thousand
dollars in this worthless paper were Luued,
all payable at the bank named, where for a
few days the sum of $5OO lay to the credit of
one of the parties concerned, bat that it was
all, with the exception of $l2 50, with
drawn a few days subsequently. The
many agents of the concern here, then
flooded the country with this worthless
trash; $200,000 was a large stake, and if
they only won occasionally, there was yet a
large percentage over the rewards of honest
labor. In Buffalo a considerable sum was
cashed, New York was slightly "bitten,"
while even as far south as Kentucky and
Alabama the rascals are said to havepushed
their nnlawful scheme. It is estimated that
by this means, fully $lOO,OOO of the waste
paper was disposed of to the duped victims.
The first intimation of the affair in Canada
was made in December last, when Mr. H.
R. Forbea, broker of this city, was asked
to cash a draft for $4,500 on the bogus con
cern by a party representing himself to be a
cattle ' buyer in want of money, and- had
been introduced as such by Mr. Palmer of
the Albion Hotel here. .Mr. Palmer had
been assured of the reliability of the fellow
only by a confederate, a man named
Hezekiih S. Bennett, on whom the weight
of the law is now likely to fall in fall force
as one of the principals in the affair. Mr.
Forbes consulted the detector, found the
house advertised, and the party, a man
named Loomis Willard, appearing to an
swer his own representations, he cashed the
draft immediately; but scarcely had he done
so, when he thought something was wrong.
Telegraphing to the banking house, he only
received an answer from an operator, say
ing that Mr. Clarke, the drawer of the draft,
was in New York. This heightened his
doubts to a well-founded suspicion, and tele
graphing to the Second National Bank,their
presumed agents, he was informed that they
bad only $l2 .50 to their credit. He imme
mediately went to Lockport, and on reach
ing there was informed that one of the drafts
for $1,500 had been presented at the En
change Bank of that city, and was about
being paid, the clerk having retired to ob
tain the sanction of the manager, when the
operator, suspecting that he was detected,
made oft; leaving the draft in the possession
of the clerk, who only then became aware
of the narrow escape from being victimized.
Mr. Forbes' visit to Lockport was almost
on the same day, and he had just entered
the First Natiohal Bank of that city, when
they informed him that a draft for $l,lOO had
been cashed, fully believing that it was gen
uine. The doubts of Mr. Forbes changed
their tone, and by the aid ofa detective they
shortly afterwards recovered the full
amount. Mr. Forbes, however, found Wil
lard worth nothing; but, after some trouble
succeeded in connecting Bennett with the
scheme—the former having been acting as
Bennett's tool, he receiving $5OO of the
money for his services as " stool pigeon,"
while Bennett retained the lion's share.
The man C. E. Clarke, who has "peached"
on the rascals, appears to have been fully as
guilty as ' the others; but, not obtaining his
expected , share in the proceeds, as
well as th'e fear of State Prisonanduced him
to reveal his scheme in the transaction and
help to bring the others to justice. Several
other parties in Canada have lost more or
less by the swindlers. - Mr. J. W. Murton,
of Hamilton; Mr. Patterson, of Port Hope,
and others being named.. It is also said
that the Bank of British North America, at
London, has lost $l,OOO by one of the parties
having deposited a large sum there for col
lection, and obtained an advance to that
amount. In Buffalo several extensive
hauls were made, and Detroit and many
sections of Pennsylvania were visited with
the same intention—in many cases success
fell. One party. in Buffalo, a few days ago,
recovered $4,500, an amount sufficient to
aiover all loss and damage, besides a bonus,
from a man named Chappel, the agent ne
gotiating there. • ,
A serious difficulty has, however, pre
sented itself with regard to the two prison
er?. Bennett and Willard, arrested at the
instance of Mr. Forbes, they having com
mitted the act in Canada, while the conspi
racy to defraud, on which they are held was
concocted in the United• States. Still,
strenuous efforts will be • made to bring the
perpetrators of the scheme to their full
deserts, and, if possible, they will be held ,
to account for their action. 'The trial com
menced at Lockport on Tuesday last, the
arrest having been made a few days previ
ously. _

THE BOWDOIN BANK ROBBERY.
Full Account of the Crime-How the
Cashier was kidnapped, dre.
The following particulars show the man
ner in which the -thieves perpetrated the
recent bank robbery at . Bowdoinhatn,
Maine. Three thouaand dollars reward is
offered, for the stolen funds:
At about two o'clock that morning Mr.
Butterfield says that le was'aroused from
his'shimber by receiving a' blow upon the
head, - which for a moment stunned him, and
upon awaking saw three men "their faces
disguised wi th masks, standindby his bed
side, armed with pistols' and`knives, *ha.
immediately seiXed him and demanded the
keys of the balik. To this Mr. Butterfield
made no reply whereupon he was tied with
small cords,being bound hand and foot„and a
gag placed to hid mouth made ofa pillow-case
which one of the ruffian took from the bed.
Not complying with-the demand which was
made, Mr. Butterfield was then violently
choked until he was foreed to tell, which he
did bypointing where the keys were con
cealed. In the same bed lay a little son of
Mr. Butterfield's, about eight years of age.
who was seized at the same time, and bound
in a similar manner to his father, The
screams of the boy awoke his mother who
was asleep in , an adjoining room with a sick
-infant; who, on raising up in bed, found that
two of thditffians, who, as they entered the
room had extinguished her light, and whom%
she beheld by the aid of a dark lantern they
had were standing over her, and who threat
ened if she mad e the least disturbance to take
the life of her infant. "We do not want your .
lives," they said: "we have been in the
bloody war, and its money we want. We
want the money in the bank." She was
then left in the care of one of the scoun
drels, who acted as a guard over her, an.:
other performing the same , service in her
husband's room, while the third, who had
possession of the keys, descended the front
staircase, and joining a companion who was
watching outside, proceeded to the bank,
which was but a short distance from the
house. The bank was entered at once,
and the door of the vault opened, and
the outer door of the safe which was
inside the vault was unlocked, but the
inside door of the safe they could not
unlock, and one of the party returned to
the house, and after untying Mr. Butter
field's feet, took him to the bank and forced
him,- under pain of instant death, to open
the door. This accomplished, they - re-bound
him and commenced the pillage of the safe.
The cashier was then conveyed back to the
house and placed in his chamber, his wife
botind in a like manner with strong cords
and gagged, and the robbers decamped with
their booty. Marshall Heald has the cords
with which they were bound in his posses
sion jusCas they were cut from the wrist
of Mr. Butterfield by his little son ; also l i
some of the false whiskers and other
articles used in their disguise. Daring
ing this time Mrs. Thitterfield was not con,
scions that her husband had been taken
from the house. She was assured that he
was perfectly safe and uninjured. At her
request the little boy was brdught into her
room. who was suffering very much by the
tightness of the cord around hid ankles. At
the request
_of his mother the cord was'
loosened by one of the robber 3, by which
means the boy subsequently was enabled to
unloosen himself and alarm two domestics
in a rear chamber of the house, who, after
considerable deltly, occasioned by fright,
came to the rescue, and all the parties were
released.
Traces or the Rogues.
[Despatch to the Boston Journal.].
PORTLAND, Me., June 25.—1 t is believed
that a clue to the Bowdoinham Bank robbers
has been obtained. From such facts as I
get from the officers in pursuit, it is strongly
surmised that a man who arrived in the 11
o'clock P. M. Boston • train on Saturday;
16th inst., at this city and registered his
name at the United States Hotel as "G. H.
Fitzgerald, Exeter" (probably assumed), is
one of the robbers, if not the principal one.
, It had been ascertained that Fitzgerald, the
next day hired a horse and buggy at Gil
, son's stable, stating that he was going to
Yarmouth, He was absent three hours.
The next day he'engaged a double-team to
go, as he said, to Brunswick on Tuesday,
but afterward, on account of its looking
like rain on that day, he stated he
should not want the team until Wednes
day, when; at noon, a carryall was
furnished him, with a pair of heavy light
bay coach horses. The search shows that
Fitzgerald drove to Brunswick, where he
Stopped at the Lurline House over night,
and took an early start for Bath, where he
arrived about 10 o'clock, A. M., and put up
hie team at Perkins's stable. Paying his
bills, he then left for Bowdoinham at about
o'clock in the evening, where the team was
seen crossing Bay bridge an hour later,
when the carriage appeared to contain
others besides Frtz,,ererald. Between the
hours of 11 and 12 P. AL Thursday, the night
before the robbery, the team was seen one
quarter of a mile from the bank. By the in
dication it appears that the horses were un-:
harnessed and the carryall taken up and
lugged into - .Patterson's pasture , by the
party with it. The horses were also taken
there, as shown by the roots and bark of the
trees to which therertere tied beinggnawed.
It will be remembered that it was at this
locality the stockings, cord, and Canada
paper were 'found. After the robbery it is
evident the carriage was lugged out onto
the highway again,and the horses harnessed.
The team was next seen in Topsham Village
at about 4 o'clock in the morning of Friday
after the robbery had occurred:. At 53 , it was
next seen passing Freeport Village, with
three persons in it, and within one mile of
Yarmauth, where they watered their horses.
At 7i o'clock the same morning the
carriage was driven into the stable at Port
land, where it was hired, Fitzgerald being
the onlyperson with it, who paid the bills,
amounting to $22, $2O of which amount was
in two tens on the National Canal
Bank of this city.,The horses
were returned in good codition, bat the
cross-bar of the carriage was broken. Here
Fitzgerald's trail was lost. He is described
as a man of medium size, face considerably
tanned, dark - side whiskers, and has a de
fect in one of his eyes, it is thought the
right one. -Fitzgerald appeared to be flush
of money, in more than one instance show
ing his liberality by overpaying his bills.
When he - first came to Portland another
party arrived -the same night in the 11
o'clock train, hailing froin Springfield, and
stopped at'the same hotel, who, it is sup
posed, was an accomplice. He stayed at
the United States not quite two days, when
he left. • •
Two young men, hailing from Boston,
also lodged at - the United• States the same
night, coming in at miditight, and left the
next morning (Saturday). None of the par
ties were noticed to communicate with each
other during their stay at the hotel. Cir

A SINGULAR MURDER STORY.
A Wife's Accusation of her Husband.
[From To-day's N. Y. Trlbane.i . ,
A man named Dennis Eagan, alias John
F. Wallace, was brought to the Forty-third
Precinct Station-house shortly before two
o'clock yesterday morning, on a charge of
assault and . battery preferred by his wife,
Mary Eagan. The parties reside at the cor
ner of Division and Richards streets, Red
Hook Point,. and according to report live
very unhappily together. His wife accused.
him of having assaulted her for two nights
in succession, and prevented her from
coming into the house, whereupon he was
locked up. Laboring under an intense state
of excitement, she related to Sergeant
Temple the following circumstances, in
which she accused her husband with com
mitting murder near a place called Lot.-
berry, Schuylkill county, Pa., in September,
1664. The name of the murdered man is
given as Robert Gardiner. They had been
married about two years when, in conse
quence of reports that herself and Gardiner
were on too intimate terms, he grew
jealous, and • one evening com
ing home with two friends, threat
ened to go to the house of Gardiner, about
one mile distant, and take his life. She
denied all dishonorable intimacy with Gar
diner, and appealed to him not to go. He
went, however, and she followed him and
party, and, on arriving at Gardiner's resi
dence, he felled him down withan axe, kill
ing him instantly, and hi presence of the
mother and sister of deceased. That before
perpetrating the deed, he struck her several
violent blows in the face, in order to compel
her to go away. Nothwithstandip.g this
rough tratment, she seczeted him ut the
Mountains for some days, until an °ppm.- •
trinity presented to enable him to escape.
She likewise states that the coroner's jury
found him - guilty of the murder, and that
all the facts in relation to the affair could be
obtained from a man named Dock, afore- man in the coal mines at Middletown, Pa.
Her husband was at that time employed in
the Shamokin coal mines, about 25 miles
distant, and remained at work usually for
about one week or more;.when he would
return home for a short time.
Eagan's own statement is to the effect
that, laboring' under the impression that the
reports about Gardiner and his wife were
true, he returned from the mines, and in
forming Gardiner of his conduct struck him
a blow on the head with a stick, but did not
kill him. He appears to have acknowledged,
however, to a prisoner in the cell adjoining
his own that he did kill the man with an
axe.
Another version, by a friend of the pri
soner, is that some meddling person in
formed him that Gardiner was in the house
with his wife, and going there with two
friends, found matters not in accordance
with his views of propriety. Being pro
vided with a club, he knocked Gardiner
down stairs, and the two friends standing
at the bottom kicked the prostrate man until
dead.
Eagan is 24 years of age and his wife 2S.
He came to this country from Ireland when
four years old. His occupation is that of an
engineer, in the employ of the Boston Dry
Dock Company, at Red Hook Point. The
parties have been married seven years and
have three children. -
Last evening Captain Rhodes wroteto the
Sheriff of Schuylkill county, Pa., in order
to ascertain the truth of the matter, and
until such information is received the pri
soner will remain in custody.
