MODERN BANKING.
Is this the Bank, sir—the Shiwisliy
washy?
Exactly, sir, this is the bank. W alk
in, gentlemen.
The strangers entered. It was the low
second story of a onc-and-a-halt story
wooden house. A large wooden chest
stood in the centre ot the dreary apart
ment, which served the multifarious du
ties of—first, the vaults of the Monster,
where deeply incarcerated under lock
and key, was kept the metallic basis of
the monetary institution—second the
counter, where all the various and exten
sive concerns of the institution are car
ried on ; where the bills, neatly done by
a first rate native artist, on a cedar shin
gle, are first issued forth to an admiring
world, and again redeemed —third a seat
by day and a couch by night, for the
Cashier; he who presides like a Griffin o
ver the hidden treasure of that mysterious
wooden chest and Saturn-like, holds the
destinies of that wonderful concern upon
his brawny shoulders. It will be recol
lected that the time had arrived when, ac
cording to the. laws of the Wild Cat coun
try, the bank commissioner was supposed
to be making his periodical round, to ex
amine into the concerns of the monsters
throughout the State; and that, il there
was a man in the world of whom the
cashier of our wooden chest batik stood in
mortal fear, it w as the same bank commis
sioner. It is not to be wondered at then,
that when the officer of this bank saw
tiie approach of the aforesaid gentlemen, I
who, by the way, wi re a couple of N. j
York merchants, with about 1'2,000 dol
lars of the said cediir shingle hills, his
imagination conjured up direful figures of
stern public functionaries, w ho had come j
up to rumage his wooden safe, ransack his
cash account, and put his memory under
the torturing pressure of a corporal oath, |
for the security of the public ami t lie sat-j
isfacliou o( the wood-cut hill holders.
It is not to he wondered at, that with
glassy eye and drooping nether jaw, he |
bade the gentleman enter, while his limbs!
trembled, and his words rattled in his
throat, his mind all the while on the rack
with pictures of broken credit; newspa
per paragraphs, and the loss of wooden
chest, and worse than all, the loss of of
fice —private property pledged and gone, \
bills in chancery, and cedar shingles
blown sky high.
“We are not ready to make our report,!
gentlemen!’ gasped the Cashier.
Oh! ah! hard times, eh! said the New-j
Yorkers taking the hint: ‘Well, never |
mind be pretty easy—new institution—:
growing country —want a little neennuno-j
ilation ourselves,’ said the s|*«»Ui sui.ni, j
placing the thumb of his hand against Ins'
nose, and waving the lingers gracefully in j
the circumhent atmosphere. ‘You un
derstand, eh!
The countenance of the Cashier bright-1
cited up, and he gave the imitation com
missioner a knowing wink out of the. cor
ner of his left eye.
Alt! you get my meaning. \\ ell make
out your own report —you know what’ll!
suit, we’ll sign it—all right, you know—j
take a large discount of you i:i a few
days—by the way we’ve got a little of]
your paper—that we should like to draw
the specie for—you don’t want it, you
know.’
‘Ail right,’ said the banker, relaxing,
his countenance into a broad grim—‘al
ways ready to do the lair thing, by our
friends, you know.’
The report was made, the paper pre
sented and paid, and the functionaries
parted the best friends in the world.
Oil the next day, the real Commission
er presented himself to the eyes of the as
tounded keeper of the wooden couven
iency. lie opened the vault ami search-!
ed the depository of the specie basis of
the flourishing institution, and found inj
specie and specie funds, the enormous j
and unparalleled sum of Fifteen Dollar*.

“Getting thk wrong pig hv tup.
ear.” At a village in 1 lie Commune of
La Ferte-Fresnel, in France, a scene has
lately been witnessed which has filled all
minds with consternation. A farmer seated]
at the table of a wine-house w ith several
other persons, agreed to sell a fat pig to a
neighboring proprietor, and to deliver the
animal npon the following "Wednesday.— (
The bargain was sealed by a lew glasses'
of cider, according to ancient usage, after
which the seller and buyer rose from the
table. Upon leaving the cabaret the
purchaser recollected tint he had a press
ing engagement for the Wednesday, and
stated to the seller that it would he an
accommodation to him to receive the
amount one clay before that already fixed.
To this no objection was made, and in
fact the pig was delivered to the buyer;
upon Tuesday evening. Having thus dis-i
posed of the animal, the seller w as return
ing home, when, near his own door, he
was accosted by a man leading a bear,:
wiio begged a night’s lodging for himself]
and his charge. The farmer under other J
circumstances, would not have felt an
inclination to entertain such guests hut
as night w as falling, and the w ind chilling
and frosty, and recollecting, too, that the
pig-sty was vacant, his good feeling
prevailed, and he determined to give
shelter for the night to the bear-leader
and his savage companion. When they
arrived at the farm the hear was installed
m the pig’s place, and his master, having
fitl and made him up for the night, retired
to the faamer's cottage, where lie was
united tosit near the fire, admitted to the'
j table, and provided with a bed. The
night passed on, but it would not appear
1 that two of the persons who had been
drinking at the same table with the farmers
when the terms of the bargain were agreed
upon, and who were under the impression
. that the pig was to he sent on Wednesday,
had determined to steal the animal before
it was to be removed. Accordingly they
] repaired to the farm at night, and one of
them crept into the stye, whilst the other
remained ou die outside of tho hedge.
What passed between the ill-fated intruder
and the ferocious animal was known only
! by tiie pools of blood, broken hones, and
! fragments of flesh w hich were found
J strewed upon the floor the following
( morning. The other robber, feeling
! uneasy at not receiving the agreed signal
from his accomplice, ventured to approach
| the house, and finding all still, crept nearer
jto the den. He called to his comrade,
I hut all was silent. He then determined to
f penetrate into the stye, hut had advanced
j hut half his body when the ferocious beast,
I whose thirst for blood had become excited,
J threw himself upon him with great fury,
j The unfortunate man was overwhelmed,
j hut after a short time succeeded by an
| extraordinary effort in saving himself from
j the rage of his enemy, lie was so weak
ened, however, by the loss of blood, from
wounds, that lie was unable to flv, and lie
fell in the garden, where he was found by
the people of the farm. He died next day
in the greatest torture. [French paper.
I A \ i:i;v Bad Joke. A gentleman
| named J. Crane cut a most ludicrous and
j at the same time lugubrious figure yester
day at the Police Oliice, on account of
having played oil’ what he considered a
j very innocent and justifiable hoax upon
i his wife. Mr Crane, it appeared, entered
into the happy state of wedlock, in this
] city, about two years back, and enjoy
'd! all that delightful domestic felicity,
j which always exist between two persons
I whose habits, manners, tastes and opinions
j are as opposite as the antipodes, and whose
! happiness is rendered stll more happy by
; the comfortable reflection that they have
i hound themselves to live together until
i death doth part them. Such happiness
! Mr C ratio felt entirely too much for any
| mere mortal to hear, or at least longer
: than two years, without losing his senses.
In order therefore to temper his cup of
■ felicity and ron ler his : weets less satiat
-1 ing .Mr Crane wrote a billet dime to a lady
w hom he addressed by the name of wife,
| and from whom ho lies ought forgiveness
lor having deserted her some years ago,
j and lor w hich lie told her had been prop
jerly and justly punished by having the
j mlsflu iune i<> connect himself in a second 1
marriage with one who had plagued him
out ol his life, and whom he was now deter
mined to abandon and return to his first
love. The letter .Mr Crane very adroitly
put in the pocket of a pair of pantaloons,
and then handing the pantaloons to his!
wife w ith a request to sew a button on
them, he left the room, not doubting that
her curiosity would lead her to open the !
letter and read its contents. And tiie!
matter turned out exactly as he expected, '
as to his wife reading the letter, but not j
exactly as he w ished or expected in other!
respects. Mrs. Crane happened to be a
very matter ol (act sort ol ladv, and having ]
no idea that middle aged married men
ever wrote love letters to imaginary dams-I
els, she took the letter for vvliat it purported
to lie, and believing tint Mr Crane was!
just on the point ol abandoning her, she
came olf in all haste to the Police Oflice
and made an affidavit of it, and a warrant
was granted to apprehend him, and lie ;
was brought before justice Hopson.!
\\ hen informed of the nature of the com-!
plaint against him, Mr Crane became al-j
most convulsed with laughter.declared tint
it was a capitaP joke, and hoped it would
have tin- effect iie intended. W’liat ell’cct
was that, asked the magistrate! (Hi!
merely to frighten her, replied hi", merely
by way of joke. Such jokes, said the ]
magistrate, are not altogether becoming a j
married man, Mr Crane, and as \our wife!
thinks it no joke, and has sworn that she
believes you intended to abandon her, you
must give bail or go to Bridewell— 1
I Ins intimation altogether changed tiie
expression oi Mr. Crane’s countenance,
w liieli be came sombre in the extreme.
And shortly after, as he could not find j
hail, he was sent over to Bridewell, and
while leaving the oflice remarked, in the
phraseology ol the Session Court that
‘this joking w ith w ives w as a very bad bu

A Mineral Nose. Dr. Harwood, an
eminent dentist of this citv, lias certainly
accomplished something new under the
sun: he has made an artificial nose for a !
shockingly deformed young man, belong- ■
ing to Spencer, in the county of Worces

six weeks old, while lying-upon his back

was so horribly burned that the entire

above the cartilage, sloughed off level

BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
recommended Dr. Harwood to allow him
to attempt a plan, altogether new in this
country, of constructing an artificial nose,
of a mineral substance commonly used
in dental surgery for artificial gums.
The ingenuity of this gentleman lias
surpassed the expectations of those who
have watched his benevolent exertions.
The new nose is superior in appear
ance to those usually constructed hv the
Taiiacotian method. But separately
from this consideration, the patient has
been saved from a scries of protracted
sufferings tinder the knife: and, on this
account, every friend of humanity will re
joico in the success which lias marked the
undertaking. In order to keep the new
facial apparatus always snugly in place, a
pair of spectacles are indispensable ac
' companion nts. For the sake of others,
it obviously devolves upon Dr. Harwood
to favor the professional public, at least,
with a detail report of the manner in
which this important artificial appendage
of the face was fabricated and kept in
proper position.—[Medical and Surgical

fire, with the exception of a kitchen and hen
! house. The fire occurred when all the inhab
j itaiits were absent or asleep; and the particu
j lars therefore, cannot be arrived at. It is sup
j posed to be the work of an incendiary. The
! Church, Academy, Banking-house, Post Office
| and Exchange are all gone. VVe learn that
I most of the property was insured. Suspicions
] rest upon the cashier of the Monrovia Bank,

i cal aid was immediately called in, but to
no purpose. Upon examination it was

'Pin; 'Duel. Mr. Graves, last week,
in the United States House of Represent-1
atives, concluded some remarks in refer
ence to the late duel, as follows:—“l
should do injustice to myself were I to
conclude without saying that I was not
conscious, at the time, that I had invaded ]
the privileges of this House. I thought
I was especially careful to preserve them.
I find, however, that, being connected
with a duel, either as principal, or second
when a member is a principal, technically
involves all alike in a breach of privilege.
Sir, I was involved in the commencement
of this unfortunate affair innocently. I
never conceived it possible that such con
sequences would have devolved on me,
when I consented to he the bearer of that]
ill-fated note, otherwise I should never
have taken on myself the task. lam not
and never have been, the advocate of the
anti-social and unchristian practice of
duelling. I have never, to this day, fired
a duelling pistol. Nor, until the day
when I went to the field, I never took any
weapon in my hand in view of a duel.
Public opinion is practically the law of
the land: every other law, both human
and divine, ceases to be observed; yea,
withers and perishes in contact with it..

been obtained, with a Capital of T\vo hundred
thousand dollars. The building for its offices
is now in process of erection, and we under
stand it will go into operation during the pres
ent summer. The necessary buildings and
| machinery for a steam saw mill, with a capital
j s ‘‘° c k of twenty five thousand dollars are also
in a course of construction, and their comple
-1 tion will, in the course of five or six months,
■afford facilities for building with increased rtM
1 pidity and economy. The subscription to the
: stock of the Brunswick and Florida Railroad
is going on in the Southern and Southwestern
parts of the State, with great spirit. This
j project, of all others, we ' regard as of the
greatest importance to Brunswick and to the
State. By means of it, the long, dangerous
and circuitous navigation around the peninsu
la ot I lorida is avoided, and we arc at once
placed on the highway and thoroughfare be
tween New York and New Orleans, the regu
lar communications between which cities will
be reduced to five days. We are happy to
learn that the subscriptions to this stock, with
in the last six weeks, amount to upwards of
tour hundred thousand dollars.
V. ith these evidences and elements of
prospi. ity, which under the circumstances, and
in the depressed state of the times surpass all
reasonable expectations, we commence the
new year ot the existence of onr print, with
renewed vigor aiu! brighter hope. We have
increased by one fourth part the amount of
selections, and other reading matter of our pu
] |er, and shall, by extending our arrangements
u furnish our readers with a correct summary
of the news of the day, and w ith interesting
aid improving miscellaneous matter, endeavor
to istablish the reputation of a valuable Huffily
j newspaper. In this manner we hope to in
j creaie the circulation and extend tlir.APcful
iiessof this print by our efforts to imp Jve and
to enarge it.
