THE SAVINGS BANK.

We publish this week the bylaws of the
Savings Bank recently organized i'll this place.
and We hope none of onr young men and
women especially will fail to examine the
plan of the Institution. for we are sure it will
commend itself to their judy mcnt as the safest
and most convenient method of investing anv
sums OF money. however small. they may be
able to spare from their earnings from time
to time.
The man who first started the idea of a
Savings Bank deserves high place in the
list of ..benctactors of mankind" and the ma
ny hundreds OF these institutions scattered O.
yer our country, are testitying every dav by
their prosperity and the benefits they confer
upon their members to the wisdom and be-
nevolencc of his conception.
We have no room to-day to enter upon any
detailed exposition of the nature and opera
ton of the Bank. neither do we consider it
necessary; We will only add that by the act
vi tuC ulnHdSclS, Will tIlc cS-
ception of the Treasurer, are prohibited from
receiving any pay whatever for their services :
nor can they in any manner use the funds of
the bank. Their whole duty is to receive
the deposits Of all who may apply, from the
small sum Of one dollar up to five hundred
dollars. and invest the funds thus gathered
together where in their judgment they will
be entirely safe. and yield good interest to
the depositors. The character of the Mana
gers is sufficient guaranty that this trust will
be exercised by them faithfully and we'll
We may refer to the subject again. As stat
