THE BULL'S -HEAD BANK FAILURE.
Another phase of the peculiar morali-
ty of the time is shown in the dream -
stances attending the failure of the'
Bull's Ffead Bank. This institution has
been regarded. as one of the strongest
land soundest in New York. Its stock
'has been selling at a premium of 100 per-
cent., and its dividends have ranged
from J2 to 16 per edit. per annum.
Suddenly its doors are closed, end. de-
positors and stockholders learn that they
have been. swindled right and left. Thp
books of the bank are foundto be muti-
lated, and it is anirounced taat a heavy
defalcation has taken - place. This is
made public,; mind you, a couple of
weeks alter the offcers have had their
'suspicions aroused. For two weeks be-
fore the bank. failed. they.had every rea-
gon. to believe that failure was inevitable,
yet they went 011 receiving the money of
depositors and doing all the business that
only a sound bank should ettempt to do.
Why clid they so long -conceal the real
conclition of the institution ? Doubtless
that they aad their friends might sell
out their stOck before the public could.
learn that it was worthless. This game
ia often. played in Wall street by the
speculators in railroad stocks, but it
would hardly be expected- Of the thanig-
ers of small la bank as the Bull's Head.
was supposed to be. But who atole the
bank's monOr and mutilated the books ?
This ig a question that no one connected
with the beak has yet attempted to an-
swer. I hear privately that one of the
officers, whose salary was ,small, has
been living for eorrie time in a very ex-
travagant way, driving. fast horses and
indulging In. many miscellaneous lux-
uries. Perhaps he coultnsaver the
question. It is over 'a NvM. since the
condition of the bank was made public,
ancl ne one has been. arrested yet. But
henclreds are arrested every week for
petty larceay, -which is a different thing
from steeliag $300,000—not near so re-
spectable, you see.

A Visit to North Carolina.
Po lhe Editor of the Iftcron Evositor.
DEAR SIR : Some few .weeks ago, in
company with a friend, I- visited the
much talked of lands of North Carolina,
and was -much pleased with the country
generallY. The. climate is, excellent,
wa ter plenty and pure ; soil generally
red day, Nell ad.apted to fruit. There
is beautifel timber, which is principally
oak and hickory, with' a small mixture
of black walnut. Infect, nature has done
much for this country, the only lack
is, of industry and capital. to turn those
gifts to proper account. But what most
strikes the passing stranger is the ab-
sence of all profanity and drunken-
ness among, the people.. In this
respect, their conduct should put
to blush the people of Canada. •Taey
are very kind too, vvhich an incident oc-
.curring as I came home will illustrate,
as actions ape* loud.er than words. On
atriving at Greensboro) not knowing I
had to change cars, I remained in my
seat for some time. Suddenly, the cry
came, " Change cars for Richmond.
In my haste, afraid of losing the taain.
I left my overcoat on the back of the
seat I had been occupying ; and was
away some distance before 1 noticed my
neglect ; on doing so, 1 requested the
conductor of the train, to: telegraph for
me, and -see if it could be forwarded.. Ile
promised to do so. but told me it would
be next morning before ,I could receive
it, supposieg it still remained on the seat,
on receipt Of telegram, I arrived in due
course of time at Richmond and was
•
directed by this conductor to a hoteL
Early nextmorming he came up from tht;'
station, a distance of nearly half a mile,
and. told me- my coat was on the road
and I ,should. receive it that forenoon.
After breakfast I went down to the sta-
tion, he met me there, and said. I had
better get my ticket and go onto my
train, as he would. aring me :the coat on
its arrival. Just before the train statted
be entered the car I was in with the coat
in his hand, having again walked half a
mile, and would not receive the slightest
remuneration, nor could I prevail on him
to accept anything forthe trouble he had
incurred.- This may seem a little thing,
but such disinterested acts of kindness
to a perfect stranger- Certainly deserees

DREADFUL 'SHIPWRECK.
Sinking of the White t4tar Line
Niteanter, Atlantie-750 Lives Lost.
BaaturaX; April 1. -- The- loss of 3
steamer at Itieagher's Island, near Pros-
pect, has just been reported by a messen-
ger from thence. She is 'said to be the
Atlantic, of the White Star Line, from
Liverpool bound to New York, with a
large number of emigran4:s and a consid-
erable cared. The ca,ptain &et officer
and a large limber of passengers are
Bead to belost . The -vessel will become
a total wreck. The Government steam-
er, Lady Head, goes at once.- The-Cun-
ards send the steamer Delta. The place
is about thirty miles from Halifax. The
Atlantic struck in a gale this morning,
and probably mistook the light. She
was coming here for coal.
The following is the Halifax Citron-
zcle's report of the disaster : It is our
painful cluty this m.orning to record the
most terrible marine disaster tliat has
ever occurred on our coast, the loss of a
great ocean steamship with about 750
lives. Yesterday afternoon a report was
current that a stetuner had been. -
wrecked somewhere on the coast, and.
one or two lives lost.- The report was
regarded. as one of the canards put
afloat on All Fools' day, and little re-
gard was paid to it. A. little later,
however, it became known that the re-
port avas well founded, and but a sthall
part of the truth had been told, the fact
yheing that the Atlantic had been wreck-
ed. on lireaghpr's rock, near Prospect,
twenty-two miles west of Halifax, and
of about 1,000 souls on sboard 750 were
lost. Having ascertained that one man
from the wrecked. ship had -anived in
town, a reporter went in search of him,
and fennel him in an eating b.ouse in Up-
per Water street. He proved to be Mr.
Bradley, third officer of the AtIcentic.
The At/antic, Mr. Bradley said, left Liv-
erpool or:1'Thursday, Mardi 20, for New
York, touched at Queerest= the next
day to receive mails and. passengers, af-
ter wbich she started.. on her voyage
across the ocean.. She had. a full cargo
of general metchandize, and a very large
number of passengers. Mr. Bradley
could not adve the precise number, but
thought :there Were more than 800 in
the steeragei and about 50 in the cabin.
These, with the crew, Would make al to-
tal number of not less than 1,000. She
was commanded by Captain James
-Agnew Williams.- Rongh weather was
experienced, but nothing worthy of note
occurred until Monday, the 31sa when.
coal being shut, Captain Williams re-
solved to put into Halifax for a supply.
The captain and Mr. Bradley had the .
night watch up to midniglat, when they
were relieved by the chief and fourth
officers: At that time they judged that
the Sambro laght then. bore N. N. W.
thirty-nine renles, The sea was rough
and the night dark. Tile chief and.
fourth officers having taken charge. Mr.
Bradley -went below and turned. into his
berth. The Captain at the game time
went into his room to lie down. What
occurred between midnight and two
o'clock, the time at which the disaster
occurred, Mr. Bradley carmot tell, as he
was sleeping. Ile was awakened by
being thrown -out of his berth by the
shock when the steamer struck. She
struck heavily three or four times. Mr.
Bradley ran up to -phe deck and found it
full of passengers. He found an axe,
and with it commeeced to dearawa,y the
starboard life -boat l'Ile observed that
the Captain and other officers were en-
gaged in clearing the other boats. Mr.
Bradley succeeded in getting his life-
boat out, and a rush was made for the
boat. This was the only boat launched,
and it bad no sooner touched the water
than a crowd. made a rush to get into it.
Mr. Bradley had to use ;force -to prevent
them crowding.in. He put two women
in, alla about a dozen men also got in.
The steamer sunk just ;then, and in do-
ing so fell over and sank the boat with
its livink freight. The boat was carried.
down with the steamer and all init were
drowned. Indeed so soon after striking
did the vessel sink that many of the pas-
sengers were, no doubt, sleeping peace-
fully in blissful ignorance of all that was
going on around thern; and. paesed into
eternity without a -struggle. Of those
on deck, numbering several hundreds,
many were washed overboard when the
ship fell over, and their ciies for help as
they struggled in vairi for life, were most
hartrending. Many, however, had taken
refuge in the riggina and. on the bow,
and. *ere still living7but with the pros-
pect of almost certain death before them,
, for' they knew not where they were, and
were in momentary expectation of the
ship sinking further and engulfing them.
them all, even as they were clinging in
desperation to the rigging. with the sea
washing them continuously.' Their situ-
ation was most trying, and. every few
minutes some of them benernbed by the
cold. and exhausted from their struggles,
loosed their hold. and. perielaed.

Since th)en we observe that the Clinton

Mr. H. Snell 13a inches long, and two
samples from Mr. John Robertson, of
Eaet Wawanosh Township,. of the
length of 16 inches, taken from
a last year's lamb. By reference to a
paragra,ph in our local columes it will be
seen that Mr. Hugh Love, Sr., of Hay,
has a lamb which yields longer wool

lamb, therefore, so far, is entitled. to the
