ESg~ We invite special attention to
the advertisement of the Elizabethport
Savings Institution, published in anoth-
er column. The responsible character
of the gentlemen named as officers and
managers is a sufficient guarantee that
it's affairs will be conducted with the
utmost care and prudence.
There is no class of institutions in
the world that have done, and are do
ing, more for the benefit of persons OF
small means than savings banks. The
boy or girl who commences to deposit
in savings banks-however small the
beginning-soon acquires the habit of
saving, aad this habit naturally leads
to frugality in all things, and prudence
in all the affairs of life, SO that it may
be said as a rule, having but few ex-
captions, that he or she who learns to
save the pennies in early life is sure to
have dollars plenty in mature life. AS
it is never too late to learn, it is never
too late to begin to save something for
ga rainy day." and the man or the
woman who has not done it heretofore
should begin at once by making depo-
sits in the savings bank.

ACCIDENT. Mr.. John Rycroft, a dry
grinder at the shears factory, miracu.
lousy escaped death yesterday after
noon. He was at work on a grindstone,
being seated almost over the same,
when the stone, which was making four
hundred revolutions per minute, burst
ed, the broken piece striking the bench
on which Mr.. Rycroft was seated, shiv-
ering it to splinters. and landing Mr..
r. some distance from where he had
been working. Mr. Rycroft was picked
mp, and found to have sustained iniu-
ries about his head, arms, breast, face
and legs. He had his wounds dressed,
and this morning feels much easier,
although suffering more or less pain.
We understand that this is the fifth or
sixth time in which Mr.. Rycroft has
met with similar accident, but in eve
ry case he has escaped serious injuries.
His &C misses seem to be as good as his
miles"

pfg& The Newarkers are very much
ashamed of the villainous cobble-stone
pavement which they some years ago
laid on Broad street, and they are now
agitating the matter of re-paving the
samoa majority of the property-own-
ers along a portion of the street, having
applied for the Nicholson pavement. -
The Evening Journal concludes an arti-
ticle as follows:
We may add that we see no earthly
reason why this city cannot afford well
paved streets quite as well as our en-
terprising, go-ahead sister city, Eliza
beth, that has scarcely third of our
population. There the streets are just
ly the boast of the inhabitants. Jes,
so?

ing is completed and is open to-day to
invited guests after the usual order of

credit upon Elizabeth and need hard
ly add that Elizabeth is city for which
New Jersey feels justly proud. The
building stands on the corner of Broad
and Grand streets, Front on Broad, it
is divided by only partition wall from
the Arcade, building the of which few
cities in the country can boast of. As
that still lacks completion, I'll pass it

stories in height.

with Nova Scotia quoins dividing the
front on Grand street, into three di-
visions extended from basement to cor
nice, all of the openings have caps with
corbels of Nova Scotia stone, the whole
finished with an elaborate cornice. The
building bears and air of strength and
solidity.
The basement is divided into four
offices; the one fronting on Broad
street will be occupied by the Dime
Savings Bank, this as well as the other
offices on this floor have fire proofs.
The first story is divided into three
rooms, one of which is to be used as
the banking room. The dimensions of
this are twenty-three feet by thirty. five
feet. One room in the rear of this to
be used as Directors room is twenty
feet by sixteen.
The entrance to Bank and first story
is on Broad street with five iron steps
hading to the same.
The vault of the Bank is constructed
of Quincy Granite put up in blocks six
teen inches in thickness, weighing on
an average eight tons each, the inte-
rior of the vault is lined with hardened
wrought iron, it is six feet four inches
wide, ten feet eight inches long and
eight feet in height, the doors of the
vault are made of steel, the one on the
inside one and half inches thick that
on the outside two and half inches
thick.
The furniture of the Bank is of black
walnut and finely fnisded
The second and third stories are di-
vided into offices, six on each floor,
with folding doors, communicating with
each other. 1t is supplied with water
and gas throughout. The building is
heated by steam.
The mason work was done by the
Messrs. Chester and N. J. Bedell, Of
Brooklyn, N. Y. The cut stone and
vaults by Messrs. Brown and Spur, of
Newark. The iron doors and work of
the vault, by Messrs. Valentine and

and dollars.

want of self confidence. Doubts and

half the ability, carry the enterprise to
