The CocHITUATE BANK FAILURE.-On Sat-
urday afternoon, the Bank Commissioners
caused an injunction to be served upon this
Institution, and that Board will proceed at
once to investigate. the state of its affairs
The following is list of the directors of tho
Bank:
s. NJ. Allen, S. S. Perkins, S. C. Demersst,
Atkins A. Clark, Nathan Morse.
The capital stock is but $3.50, 900. It is re-
ported that large proportion of its circulation
is at the West.
The Boston papers advise the public not to
part with the bills at a discount, and quote
the following from chapter 80, section l, Of
the act of 1919.
The holders of stock in any bank at the
time when such bank shall stop payment, shall
be liable, in. their individual capacities, for
the payment andredemption of all bills which
may have been issued by such bank, and
which shall remain unpaid, in proportion to the
stock they may respectively hold at the time
aforesaid.
This wholesome law affords the most ample
protection to the bill holders of all the. banks
in the State, and the knowledge of this securi-
ty will have a good effect at the present time,
when there would naturally be some distrust
felt in regard to our Banking Institutions.
The injunction is made returnable to the
Supreme Court on Tuesday, when the Bank
Commissioners will make a statement for the
information Of the Court, which viii enable
the Judge todecide whether the injunction
shall be made perpetual.

storm was then prevailing there. Already the
snow was t,ce,sty feet deep on a zercl, and in
some places had drifted to height of serenity

was covered to depth of twelve feet, so that
the occupants were obliged to bunow up Ike

counts it was still showing hard, with no
prospect of holding up. Ii the snow should,
by ali unfortunate change in the weather, be
transformed into ice, the condition of the vii

that of the buried cities of Campania.
