Description

The Citizens' Bank of Chicago suspended payment on 1875-10-07 and subsequently went into liquidation/receivership. Contemporary dispatches give liabilities ~$20,000–$30,000 and cite insolvency and lack of business as causes. No clear independent depositor run is reported — press mentions are rumors of suspension and winding up, and later legal filings request appointment of a receiver and report insolvency. Receiver Thomas C. Williams was appointed in mid-November. OCR errors in some articles corrected (e.g., dates and 'Citizens' Bank' variants).

Massachusetts is putting in claims for both orator and poet at the Centennial Exhibition. The Springfield Republican has reason to believe that the choice for orator will fall upon Charles Francis Adams, and that for poet on Mr. Longfellow or Mr. Lowell. The census of Charleston, just completed, shows 56,540 souls, against 48,956 in 1870, an increase of 7,584 in five years.

The one hundred and fifth anniversary of the first sermon preached in this country by John Murray, the founder of Universalism in the United States, was celebrated at Good Luck, New Jeresy, on Sept. 26. The attendance of people on the occasion was very large. It was proposed to erect a church on ground within the grove near Good Luck, owned by the New Jersey Convention of Universalists. A few Sundays ago a young Unitarian became drowsy at church, and, putting his head in his father's lap, closed his eyes. Just as he seemed to be fairly gone, the preacher said: "Every man has at least one drop of Adam's blood in his veins," and at this the small boy rose up to whisper: "Papa, Adam must have been a mighty big man." A despatch from Montevideo anuounces that martial law has been proclaimed there. The new postal cards are being issued at the rate of over a million per day.

Its capital stock is $50,000, and its liabilities $20,000. A Boston paper says that since February, 1870, there have been forty-eight murders in Boston and its immediate vicinity; and in all but three cases the murderers have been arrested by the Police force. Nine murders were committed in 1870, three in 1871, eleven in 1872, ten in 1873, eleven in 1874 and four in 1875. "Ma," observed Blobb's little child reflectively the other night as the first stars came out, "don't you think that when those stars twinkle that way they must tickle the angel's feet ?" One of the most interesting personages in the procession which will take place at Lucknow when the Prince of Wales is there will, it is said, be the identical State elephant that carried the Marquis of Hastings when he visited Lucknow as Governor General a century ago. Anna Connett, a pretty girl over in New Jersey, was acquitted of the charge of burglary, whereupon she threw her arms around the Judge's neck and kissed him. And now all the lawyer around Plainfield are candidates for Judge. Mr. Ralph Waldo Emerson was a guest of the Boston Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company on its recent visit to Concord, and responding to their toast said that he was quite unable to address them, adding "A year or two ago-I think three years ago-I should have ventured to give my views and endeavored to speak to an audience like this-so rare as this-with some courage that I might properly express myself; but 1
