BRIDPORT POINT BANK.—TIie following is Iles
report of the past year's proceeding' :—"ln looking
over the wank for the put year, we cannot fail to
notice the advantages which this institution must
be conferring upon the town—by promoting suing
habits in the young, and training them to • know-
ledge of the value of adding penny to penny, thereby
enabling them 10 feel the force of the proverb, ''take
oare of the pence, and the pounds will take care of
themselves." Among people of waterer yews,
the benefits of this institution may be seen
in the means it affords the working man of
patting be hie panto, thus keeping them in
a place of safety, free front the allareoeste
and temptations which would be likely to ensue if be
attempted to keep them in hie own palmitin. Soma
persons make the inquiry—what is the use of the
penny banks? We will amuse, that they provide
means by which anyone may lay by so small a sum
as • penny weekly, or as much more its
hi pleases, in the day when work is plentiful
and provisions cheap, and that, were it not
for the existence of this bank, many sums would
never bare been saved, but have been squandered,
as the sum would have been considered too
_ . . . .

ininguitlcant to our. for and it is her., that the
bank orours to his mind, and steps in, t 0... the
expression, and reasons with him, thus :—A few
ponce saved weekly will provide some article of
dram or forniture, or what may be better still,
provide the notileu• for a little sum for the savings'
bank —and, after all,a working man who has• balance
at his bankers led more to serve his country
and mankind than the man who is ever talking of
other meths and ends for its promotion and well
being. During the past year, the number of deposits
have been 3,487; thenumber of withdrawals, 483. The
amount deposited during the year £137; the amount
withdrawn, has been £l6l 16s. 6d. The 1 irgest
weekly deposit during the year was £4 17a. ld.; the
largest weekly withdrawal, £l7 16s. ad; the smallest
weekly deposit, £1 Sts; the smallest withdrawal,
6a 3d; the present number of depositors is 470.
The cash at the savings' bank and in hand is
