We regret to learn that B. A. Smith, wholessle dry goods merchant, of this city, has suspended payment—not assigned, as stated by a contemporary. Owing to very heavy losses during the past year or two, Mr. Smith felt compelled a day or two ago, to send a statement of his position to his creditors, explaining his losses, showing the actual condition of his books and affairs, and expressing the opinion of his ability to pay sixty per cent. on time. ‘There is a neral opinion among the Halifax creditors that this is a very fair offer, considering the difficulties of realizing on book debts and disposing of stock on hand; and a strong feeling prevails that the offer should be accepted, although Mr. Smith will doubt- less find that he will have all he can do to make the estate realize that per centage. Mr. Smith, however, would be ina much better position to do it than would an assignee. — [Halifax Herald. — 2 = — POINTS ON LENT. Somno—Lent-——The policeman. Preva —Lent—Poverty.
