"GowD FOR PAPER. Among the incidents of
the "panic" we have heard related the following
which lately occurred In Salem: A mother and
daughter drew from one Of our savings banks,
about an hour before the suspension Of specie pay.
ments-tbe mother forty dollars, and her daughter
one hundred and seyenty-two dollars They were
paid in bills Of the Nsumkeag Bank, and at That
bank demanded the specie about five minutes
after the suspension. " was ascertained that the
old woman was a notorious beggar about our
streets, pleading the most a1ject poverty and at
this very time was supplied with bedding by one
of our charitable societies. The next day she
called at the Savings Bank, when the following
scene took place, as related TO US:
Old Woman. The Lard bless your honor. Yes

How IT AFFEcTs THEu.--A correspondent Of
the Boston Courier, writing from Lowell and re.
erring to the closing down Of several large cotton
mills remarks that the effect of these important
changes upon an industrial community like that
of Lowell is alike remarkable and unfortunate.

this sterL commercial necessity, are leaving the
city. Our population is for the time diminishing

Query for AboHtiomists: If the small deficiency
Of ZOO 600 bales in single cotton crop affects so
ma erially tho prosperity Of northern cities what
would be the fatal consequences Of the success OF
Abolitonism, by which the crop would inevitably
be diminished 100000 Of bales Ab6eV'He

HALF MILLION WORTH OF PROPERTY GIVEN TO

made Of like number oflots for similar object
making seventy-two million of dollars. The grant
ia nonnally lease in consideration of one dollar
year, and it is therefore gift Of just so mach
property as we have named to "A sectarian charity
We do not, however, speak much of the ac
ton of the present and of previous Common
Council in this enormous grant to the Roman
Catholics as to call attention to the fact that when
Protestant institution few months since, en-
treated the Common Council TO grant them only
four Of these very thirtysix lots, now given away
in perpetuity for one dollar a year, their PRAYER
was denied, and they were compelled TO seek
ground to build upon elsewhere. What makes
the case a still more aggravated one IS, the more
important fact, that when the Institution for the
Education of the Deaf and Dumb were compelled
to go up far Fftieth street, to find land TO
buili upon, the corporation charged the institu.
ton, and compelled them to pay the full value Of
this land, while it gave away thirty-six lots upon
the opposite side of the same Fifteenth street,
to the Roman Catholics merely for the asking.
