works; such as Capt. Cutie, Little Nell
and her grandfather, Mr.. Micawber, Sam

To MERoHANTs.-The american Gro
Ger, weekly trade journal, published at
161 William street, New York, by John
Darby 81 Co., for So per annum IN advance,
comes to US this week with a new and
beautiful head, indicating in its design
the widespread interests it so ably repre-
sents. The contents are so directly i'm
portant to the trade that we do not see
how any grocer or country merchant
would consent to be without its visit. 1t
would be impossible to find so much valu-
able information on the subjects on which
it treats elsewhere in the same space
while its market reports from all parts Of
the world, its price current and its as-
vertisements make it indispensable TO the
merchant who desires to keep record OF
events in which he is interested. We adj
wise every one interested to inclose So to
the proprietors and have their names
entered on their subscription books.

A NEW BANK.-The Security Bank of
the the City of New York has commenced
business under most favorable auspices.
The New York jStandord of April Both
says:
The advertisement of the Security Bank
shows list of names which invites public
confidence. So many branches of bust
ne So are rarely represented in a Board OF
Directors, and by men oF =" much respon-
sibility and worth. The choice for Presi-
dent seems to have fallen upon Joseph u.
Orvis, ESQ, well known as the founder
and first President of the First National
Bank of this city-an institution the I'M
precedented success of which, under his
management, is still and will long be re-
membered with admiration in mercantile
and financial circles. Mr.. Orvis is worthy
to preside over such board and in the
united force of men of so much individual
independence we may look for a remark
able success. Anything like clique or
partisanship will be defeated loans and
discounts will be closely scrutinized de-
posits will be safe, and the business of the
bank, of necessity, constantly augmented.
The aim of the new bank seems to be
conservative rather than snowy. The d.
reetors have selected rs cashier Mr.. Ben
iamin Ell. Dewey, of Vermont, gentle
man of high character and long expert
ence in this capacity, as well as thorough
merchant This is the kind of a man to
come in contact with business men-one
who can understand their needs and treat
with them on equal terms. It will give
the hank an element of permarenee in the
opinion of many, that it is chartered I'M
der the State law rather than on the ma
tional plan. Great pains have been taken
for security, the building being of iron,
withsf.e-proof vaults and safes which are
supposed to be superior to any elsewhere
| in use

DEATH OF ZIDoN EDISON, Eso-We
have just learned of the death of Zidon
Edison, Esq, which occurred at Aurora,
Illinois, Wednesday, April 9th, 1870, at
the advanced age Of So years. He was
formerly, and for many years, well
known and active citizen of Rutland
county, and was member of the Consti-
tuition Convention fifty-six years ago.
He resided at different times in Men
don and Shrewsbury in this county, and
was delegate to the Constitutional Con-
vention of 1914, from Mendon, and that
of 1922, from Shrewsbury, and was Rep
resentative from Mendon to the General
Assembly of Vermont in 1913, and from
Shrewsbury in 1929, 1926 and 1926. He
removed to the West in 1850, and has
since that time resided, for the most part,
with his daughter in Aurora.
He was a representative man of New
England fifty years ago, strong, bold and
rugged in character and convictions
fearless for the right. He had a predi-
lection and mind peculiarly fitted for
the legal profession, but poverty and its
circumstances in early life frus-
trated his chosen aim, and he became
farmer. But for many years his face was
familiar at the sessions Of our County
Court; and of his long service as magis-
trate in Mendon and Shrewsbury, many
anecdotes are extant illustrative Of his
sound common sense, his native shrewd-
ness, his appreciation and love of justice,
and his abhorranee of all deception and
wrong.
In him was more than fulfilled the al
lotted period of life. Full of years and
ripe for the harvest, he has dropped the
husks of this material ife-beautifed all
along with the white and fragrant flow
ers of Christian liberation and charity
and silently passed Heavenward.
