THE . LENHEIX FORGERY.—The Scranton

public here, appears to be a true
went at- the case.
Scranton, Pa. Feb. 3. 1877.
earthquake 'idould . not, have caused :a
greater shock in the thrifty town of Montrose, a
short distance from this city, than die the news
of young . Nathan •Lenheim's arrest in New
York the other ; .day on a charge of folging a
tell thousand - dollar mote and endeavoring to
pass it on the Importers and Traders' Bank..
lie had always been regarded as the model
young man of M ontrose , . not in the vapid char-,
actor of thela t oo,"litildebrand," :whose as.°
ciiiatiOtts havibeen - sung of So frequentlY by"
the street gamins, but in those substantial re
quisites which go to form the truest type.9f,
manhood. He moved.in , the best society of the
town, was'appareitlY ‘'.usincere member of the
church, was beloved by many and esteemed by
ail, was the cashier of a bank in which the
wealthiest men of the place were interested,and_
besides, all this seemed welt to do in the world.'
All this tit the 'age . of twenty four, when the
flower of manhood and of fortune semed to en-
dow him with such brilliant prospects. T.he;
forged note . whictt ~ lie sought to pass in New
York was sapposedin have been drawn by. Mr.
R. T. Stevens for $lO,OOO, and endorsed by Mr.
Kessler, of Easton, in tbis State, who is known
to be a milionaire, so that Lenheim , made a
bold move on the .strength of
,bis own position
and ktr:Kessler'fi ticlitioWledged wealth. When
the news reached Montrose the first exclamation
was, 1 don't believe it !" People thought
,impOssible that young "Nat Lenheuir," 'Lb whoM
mothers were wont to point their boys as a pat
tern of sobriety and honesty, could be guilty of
such an act. But the story was 80011 confirmed
by telegranri, and then the place was wild with
excitement and, people rushed to the bank in
search of intormatiou, but little of which was
however; vouchsafed, The bank officers were
reticent, and would only design to answer that
the bank was all right
. and would meet all its
obligations. ,was all that could be ascer
tained by the out. side publia, and it was not
calculated ,to promote the most placid state of
`public feeling: Your correspondent succeeded
in obtaining an interview with one of the bank
officials to-day, and ke informs me that an in
vestigation just made reveals the startlinglaot
that the absconding cashier has robbed the
bank of $90,000, Nobody knows how be
squandered this plunder or in what manner of
speculation be invested it. These are things"
that must remain a mystery for the present, as
all efforts to find out what chanbels he could
have diverted such- a vast amount into,`,have
proved fruitless.. Twenty
,thousand dollars of
this sum had been fOrged on the bank, and the
remainder abstracted in a manner that will
doubtless be made known as soon as Mr. Len
heim furnishes the Sequel to his su rtling crime.
He had lull control in' the matter of negotiating
loans,. discounting notes and transacting all
other business of the bank with Out even con
sulting the directors, who doubtless thought
all men as honest as themselves, and he used
this great opportunity to plunder at will. It, is
known that his bond is good for • the greater
portion of the money which he has stolen, and
that $24,00(1 is the most the bank will lose by
the transaction. The confidence of the people
in its . stability is still unshaken, and despite the
damaging nature of the cashier's crime the
bank has experienced no extraordinary run.
It has been closed for investigation for the past
two days, but was reopened to-day, and is now
transacting business as usual. The state of af
fairs discovered by the committee of investiga
tion Shows young Lenbeim to be an unmitigat
ed villian,void of conscientious , scruples even in.
the smallest matters. His connection with -the
church as Stated, was but a cloak for his villany ;
and it now transpires that he his played the.
part of hypocrite and thief right along, deceiv
ing she community in which he moved and
•which he has completely-confounded by his ex
tensive defalcations, which reach out and in-
Allem many of the banks in the small surround,
hag towns. It is just possible - that the extent
Of his plunder has not, yet been ascertained,
:The
even gieater schemes mayyet be tweeted.
:The stockholders, for the purpose of meeting
'resent emergencies, have given their note for
$40,000 to replenish the depleted treasury and
meet the demands of those desiring to draw
out their-deposits. So far, however; since the
defalcation, double the, amount has been de=
posited that has been withdrawir; yesterday
one gentleman, to show MS faith *in the &an
del, soundness of the concern, deposited $5,000
there. The' liabilities are secured by sound
notes, and the stockholders comprise some of
the most substantial merchants of Montrose
and- the farmers of the surrounding country,
and no such thing 'as a failure is anticipated,
although the escape has, been a' very narrow
one, The First National hank of Montrose Pa.
was established two years ago, and Lenheini,
the forger; has been cashier ever shim. At The
end of. the first year the Vice President, D. D.
Searle, becoming suspicious •of Lenheim ' ex
pressed his displeasure to the directors at the
manner in which business was transacted..
Loans were being negotiated by the cashier
without referring them to a committee accord
ing to rule, and to -this mode of doing things
Mr. Searle took such decided exception that he
at length said S he would either sell out or buy
Lenheim's interest. The consequence was that
he sold hia own stock—sls,9oo- 7 to Lenbeim
for a margin of twenty per cent. and -retired
from the bank, receiving $3,000 cash and hold-,
ing the bank stock as security tor the balance.,
This removed all obstacles out of the 'cashier's
way,, and now- he had complete control, the
directors and stockholders have unlimited con , ,
fidence in him. Mr.. Searle was succeeded- by
Mr; George V. Bentley as vice president, and
Mr. Wm. 3. Turrell is president of the bank,.
We learn from Mr. A. Lathrop who has just
returned from New York that Lenheim is now
- held on the charge of foiling the names of ••:,
Lathrop as maker and Wm. H. Otoper as in
(terser to a itote for $8,500.00. Should ,he bearer
leased froth custody under the charge mentiop
ed in the Herald article a requisition w ill be oh
,
tained and Lenheim will b, brought here for
.
In the meantime occup . ies• the cell (which
has been made famous ,: by the occupancy of
Ed. S. Stokes the slayer of Fisk. For this
favor at the hands of • the authorities, he is in
debted to his brothel . Geo., who is represented
as being unremitting - in his kindness towards

INSANE liosPrEAL.—The report of the State
Hospital for the Insane at Danville presents a
number of interesting'facts. At the beginning
of 1876 the Hospital contained 200 patients.' Of
these-153 were males opd .1.07 females. The
admissions were 133, Of. these 81 were malse
and 52 females. The discharges were 21 restor
ed, 18 improved, 23 stationary and 22 deceased
leaving the manlier at the end of the year 184
men and 127 women ; total, 311. It appears,
tlierfore, that: at the close of the year there were
51 more.. patients than at the opening.' The
average number was 177.71, or 32 more than in
the previous year. Sixty seven -per cent. of the
new patients were supported by the State, the
friends of the remainder)paying the -rate es
tablished by law for public patients. The in
come of the hospital was $68,614,79 ; the dis
bursements, $68,113.70. .The average weekly,
cost per patient was $471. This includes cOst•
for clothing, which is ietunded to the hospital.

patient to theHospitil, , an irreparable injury is
often done by disguising froth him the fact that
his, plusicians and fiends consider him seek,
and that it is proposel to take him to an' Bovi

SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP, SEA Wi
Tonic, and Mandrake Pills.—These deservedly
celebrated and popular medicines haye'effected
a revolution in the healing, art, and proved the
fallacy of several maxims which have for many
years obstructed the progress of medical -
science. - The false Supposition that Consump
tion is incurable deterred -physicians from at
tempting to find remedies for that disease, and
patients afflicted with' it reconciled themselves
to death without Mi.king an' effort to escape
from's doom which they supposed to be una
voidable. It is now proved, however,that COn
sumption can be cured, and that it has been
cured in a very.great number]of cases (sopie of
them apparently ;desperate ones) by Schenck's
