Mr. Willsugltby, the Sanager does nat teem to be to blane, it the affairs are wretchedly mixed Hp and there Is a less of four thousand dollars for some one to make. The di­ rectors refused to give the manager a book-keeper on the ground that It was AH unnecessary expense, and be Vtt allowed only OP« *ss!«tant. They farther periodically overhauled bin affairs and lent hie Touchers, so that now there fs no such thing as straight enlng up the affairs. At the Investiga­ tion the deficit was discovered and Mr. Willoughby was bounced at once asd through threats of prosecution made to assume the loss by giving his paper. As soon as he could get alone, however, be determined to get bis pa­ per back or make war, knowing that he was innocent of any Intentional wrong, Mkd he proposes to institute suit at •ace unless they give him up his obli­ gations.
