THE FISHKILL SAVINGS BANK BONDS. POUGHKEEPSIE, Jan. 5.-In the hearing of the case of the Fishkill Savings Institution against the receiver of the Fishkill National Bank, yesterday, to recover $65.000 of the money stolen from the latter institution, and claimed to-belong to the former, testimony was given showing that the savings bank bonds were assigned by virtue of a power of at torney which on investigation proved to have no exlatence on the books of the saving bank. A copy of the resolution on which the bonds were assigned was sent from Washington from the Treasury Department; but on inspecting the savings bank books neither was such a resolution found. This presents a startling and perhaps controlling fact in the case. If the bonds were assigned by the Government on a forged certificate, then they were not assigned at all.
