pyjawq j. , i? . ?,i ^t3 A Iliu Stkal.?Full ltivcr, Muss., April 25.? The Border City Mills are closed, and the Sagamore Mills will shut down to-night. George T. Hathaway, the defaulting treasurer, was in consultation with his counsel during the most of last night, and to-day he was waited upon by a committee of the directors, but they could obtain no satisfaction as to what disposition lie had made of the stoleu funds, it is acknowledged that till the directors are ruined, with the exception of Chales I*. Slickney. and lie loses $150,000 of his investment of $180,000 in the corporation, Jatnes E. Cunneu, a hard working and honest man, who was Superintendent of the Border City mills, loses $15,000, the savings of thirtyfive years toil. He begun life as a mill boy, and lias worked his way up. George T. Hathaway, Ijie defaulting treasurer, was nrrested to-night, and taken to the jail at Taunton. J.

From nil that can be ascertained, there can be no doubt that this defalcation will reach $000,000. The city is terribly excited and full of floating funiors about the soundness of other corporations, but there is no foundation, as far as is known, for any of these stories. A Veiiy Goon Reason.?The reason why oniy tine sainplo bottle of Mehhkli.'s 11ki>atink for tho Liver will bo sold to the saino person, for ten cents, by our Druggists, GIRBKS & CO., is because of the enormous expense of importing the llcpatine into this country ; but as there are fifty doses in the large si/.o bottle, it seems two cents per dose is cheap enough after nil for n medicine that cures dyspepsia and liver complaint. All who have not had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cents nt G1BBFS & CO.'S Drug store. Three doses relieves any case of dispepsia, constipation, indigestion or liver complaint, in the world.
