Description

Multiple contemporary newspapers from Sept-Nov 1857 list the Chemung County Bank (Horseheads, NY) among suspended/discredited banks during the Panic of 1857. No article describes a depositor 'run' as a discrete event; rather the bank is listed as suspended/failed and later described as in liquidation. I corrected the city spelling to the common form 'Horseheads' but otherwise used provided bank name. Dates inferred from publication dates and mentions in lists.

say, was answered by the payment of a million and a half of specie, in the course of a few hours. In this course the banks have by strict constructions of the law, forfeited their charters. In consequence, a proclamation of the Governor convening the Legislation appeared yesterday. It is as follows: Whereas, serious financial revulsion has occurred, resulting in the suspension of specie payments by the banks of this and other States, the failure of many long established commercial houses leading to the destruction of confidence and general embarrassment, threatening to affect disasterously, the credit of the Commonwealth and the great industrial interests of the people and requiring prompt, strict and efficient action to relieve the suffering community.... Therefore, I convene the Legislature to meet on the 6th of October, to adopt such measures as the present exigency requires. PITTSBURGH, Sept. 28. The excitement is subsiding. The Mechanics Bk. suspended to day. Business is paralyzed. All of our banks, except the Pittsburgh have suspended. The Providence Journal of yesterday morning in speaking of the condition of the affairs in that city says: 'There never before were two such weeks as closed upon the business of Providence last saturday Money continues at unmitigated rates although the demand slackens under the impossibility of obtaining discounts There is hardly any cotton in the market, and the manufacturers are working down their stocks, with no disposition to renew them under present circumstances. It is impossible longer to raise money to pay the labor and a dreary winter is before us. Until the news from Philadelphia and Baltimore arrived, there was a hope that the survivors of this week would go on with an easier money market; but these suspensions cut off a third of the collections upon which our banks were relying to meet their own engagements, and to extend relief to their customers. Providence stands now a creditor city but our collections on New York will not much more than ballance the demands upon us from that city, and those farther South are cut off by the suspension It is impossible to tell what the result will be, but it is plain that things cannot remain so much longer ### UNCURRENT BANKS. The following Banks are reported as uncurrent in this vicinity, though not all of them have failed: Mane.Bank of Hallowell, Hallowell -Canton Bank So. China-Ellsworth Bank, Bangor-Mousom River Bank, Sanford -Sanford Bank, Sanford. New Hamshire-Exter Bk, Exter, Vermont. Danby Bank, Danby-So. Royalton Bank, So. Royaiton, Massachusetts Cochituate Bank, Boston. Rhode Island. Bk. of So. Coventry Wakefield-Mount Vernon Bk., Providence R. I. Central Bank, Fall River -Warwick Bank, Warwick-Bank of Republic. Connecticut. Easton Bank, Killingly-Merchants Ex. Bank, Bridgeport-Worcester Bk., Danbury-Colchester Bank. Colchester. Pennsylvania-Warren County Bk, -Bank of New Castle-Lancaster Bk. New York-Bank of Orleans, Albion -Champlain Bank, Ellensburgh-Exchange Bank, Buffalo Farmers Bank New Paltz--Hollister Bank Buffalo-Merchants and Mechanicks Bank, Oswego-Niagara River Bank Tonawanda-Oliver Lee & Co, Buffalo--Ontario Bk Utica Reciprosity Bk., Buffalo-Sackets Harbor Bank, State Bk, Sackets Harbor-Chemung County Bank Horseheads-Ontario County Bk. Phelps-Yates County Bk. Penn Yan-Eighth Avenue Bk-Knickerbocker Bank. A little fellow from four to five years old, having perforated the knees of his trowsers, was intensely delighted with a patch his grandmother had applied. He would sit and gaze upon it in a state of remarkable admiration, and in one of these moods suddenly exclaimed: Grandma must put one on t'other knee and one behind, like Edy Smith's " "Let's take a horn," is a phase of frequent utterance. The blast of that horn may be the signal for the porter to open the gate of death. ### FACTS ABOUT THE PRESIDENTS. Four of the first seven were from Virgnia.--Two of the same name from Massachusetts, and the seventh was from Tennesee. All but one were sixty six years old on leaving office, having served two terms and one of them, who had served but one term would have been sixty-six years of age at the end of another. Three of the seven died on the 4th of July, and two of them were on the Sab Committee of Three that drafted the Declaration of Independence, and these two died on the same day and year, and on the Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, aud just half a century from the day of Declaration. The names of three of the seven ended in 'son," yet neither of these transmitted

5,864 946 Balances to November 9 We hear of no new failures; most of the reports flying about referring to cases which have been kept back in the hope of ultimate arrangement. There have been many suspensions and accommodations during the panic which have not been made pub ic, and which now coming to light are chronicled as new disasters. We understand that the aggregate circulation of the Connecticut Banks is at present reduced to less than one-fourth of their capital. Their deposits are merely nominal. Many of these institutions insist upon discontinuing their redemptions in Boston while the Boston banks themselves are in a state of specie suspension. Among the first to commence redeeming its notes in New-York is the Pequonnock Bank, which yesterday issued the subjoined circular: PEQUONNOCK BANK, } BRIDGEPORT, Ct., Nov 9, 1857. The notes of this bank are redeemed at the Exchange and Banking office of Benjamin F. Manierre, No. 220 Broadway, New-York, at one per cent discount. For the present this institution has resolved to discontinue redeeming at Boston. The capital of this bank is $200,000. with a surplus of $20,000. Its entire circulation is less than $45 000. C. B. HUSBELL, President. The bills of the following State Banks, which have gone into liquidation, are no longer received on deposit at the Metropolitan Bank: The Western Bank of Lockport, Powell Bank of Newburgh, Ontario County Bank, Phelps Bank and Chemung County Bank at Horseheads. The business of the Clearing-House to-day was $14 391,200. The earnings of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad were: $157,116.50 October, 1857 237,711 S1 October, 1856 Decrease $80,591 The earnings of the North Pennsylvania Railroad were: $28,567 October, 1857 7628 1S October, 1856 Increase $20,939 The receipts of the Michigan Central Railroad were: $ 262,923.83 October, 1817 403,562 11 October, 1856 Decresse $140,638 28
