part of a lurge number of children as we'll as
adults and will eventually accomplish much
good to the poorer classes. The total deposits
up to this day amount to about ten thousand
dollars Interest at the rate of six per cent,
is allowed on all accumulations under $500,
and five per cent. on all above that sum. In
terest is allowed after the deposits reach three
dollars
We have seen letters OF inquiry on this sub

One of the first deposits in the Six. Penny
Bank was made by au urchn who was without
shoes or stockings. His first deposit was the
sum of i've cents; and before the end ofthe day
it reached thirtyone cents. He begged that
his deposit book might be retained at the bank;
otherwise his parents would claim all his future
