Banks,

Nh EDIroR-SR l wish to call the attention Of
the public to provision of the Act of the Legisla-
ture in reference to Banks There are some very
stringent provisions vitality important to the inter-
ests Of the note holders
1t has been declared by the Legislature that no
bank in this State shall pay out any notes except its
own or branches and not then, except ss provided in
the 7h section of said Act The 9TH section provides
that they shall not pay out any notes except such
as are payable at the counter where issued; this
last provision to take effect the LIST September,
1885, Now sir you will be surprised to know that
many of the Banks in this State utterly disregard
this, and engaged insWOppng notes, AMI scatter
ing wild cat money into neighbOrhoods where it is
not known, to give it temporary circulation. Would
it not be best for the note holder TO have the money
payable near his home, so that he may protect him
self 1t seems to me that if the Attorneys General in
this State will do their duty, all this hide and seek
business with paper money, will be stopped in short
order.
If laws passed by the Legislature cannot be en-
forced against banks, would it not be better to
abolish all such unmsnageable institutional Though
not much skilled in such things it seems 10 that
when the Legislature authOrises corporation to
issue its notes as money, it does not thereby give
the authority TO pay out the notes of another cor
pOratiOn, as money Now the Legislature has ex-
Pressy forbidden this practice, and yet they refuse
obedience.
Is not this violation of the law calculated to excite
disrust Of any institution that will resort to it
is always good policy to obey the law. 1t is greatly
to be feared that the crisis has not passed and We
win have other bank explosions before three months
pass, Yours, CoUBTKR NOTE,

SINGULAH CIRCUMsAECEs.-The little son Of Mr.
Sabine, of 0nandaga Hollow, near Syracuse, New
York, aged four years, few days since undertook
to cross the Onandaga Greek on bridge, but tumb-
led into the stream His elder sister ran some forty
rods to the house and alarmed her father, who ran
over and attempted to recover the child He CROPPED
about in the water, and one of the boys shoes was
picked up, but the lad was not discovered. He left
the place, and proceeded few steps further on
without any better Success but resolved to return
and renew his search in the spot where the shoe
was picked up The water at this point was five
feet deep. Here the search was renewed, and the
father got hold of the boys leg and pulled him out
He had been in the water from twelve to fifteen
minutes, and appeared ifeless when taken out. He
was carried home to the house in the arms of his
father, in such position to allow the water to
escape from his lungs-thst is, face downward. He
was laid out as dead there not being the slightest
evidence of vitality manifested since being rescued
from the water. What is more strange and singular
an hour after the boy observed to breathe every
effort employed by his parents for his recovery,
and at twelve o'clock the lad was eonversing with
them. He doing well. This is the most singula
case Of resuscitstiOn after drowning that we ever
recolect hearing Of Another singular circumstance
in connection with the above accident is the fact that
the young girl above mentioned, two three years
since fell into well thirty feet Deep and was res
cued by her father alive She had followed him into
the yard and not returning to the house with him,
search was instituted and her name was called when
she answered from the well, "Here 1 am, father
down here" She was fOund clinging to the side by
her hands, having caught hold of the stones in her.

this curious romance, seem 10 think the object Of

By the way we learn that the romantic Captain
