Savings Banks-What other States are
Doing.

Savings Banks-What other States are
Doing.
Massachusetts, with view to the safety of
depositors, to the retention at home of her own
people and her own money, and to the proven
ton of frauds and speculation in doubtful and
distant securities with the money of honest and
confding people, has confined the investments
of savings banks to home securities. b.,
In New York, where several savings banks
have recently failed in consequence of invest
ments for the sake or large gains, and of the
loosepess in doing business, stimulated by the
specializing mania, there seems to be but one
opinion in regard to the absolute necessity of
taking away from bank managers the great in
ducements now existing to make investments
on securities that promise large returns and op-
portuuities for speculation to their friends and
others.
The New York Times, in recent article on
this subject, says:
The Legislature should direct that large
portion of the deposits-the larger part of them
in fact-shonld be placed out on Government
securities, realizable at any moment with but
trfing, if any, loss; and it should prescribe the
portion which should be invested on bond and
mortgage of real estate. This latter form of
investment is, OF course, the best paying one,
and the only one incapable of fuctuation in
value; but it has this serious drawback, that it
ties up the sums invested for year, at least
and cannot be realized before it's maturity ex-
cept at a serious depreciation. Above ALL such
statute should positively prohibit all inuest-
naent outof the State. No Tennessee bonds, no
Alaska annuities no Peruvian mines no Isle of
Skye securities, for the hard-won savings of the
poor! Safe home securities, or the National
Government investments are the only efficient
bases for their protection, and statute which
shall secure them these is urgently required.
Until it is passed the savings bank system will
continue to be insecure, and the benefits which
those banks are intended to realize will have
been unattained.
The savings bank is the creature of the State.
In Incorporating it it is its right and duty to
provide that it shall not lift it's hand against
the State-that it shall not use the opportuni-
ties given it by the State to her injury or dis
honor. Other States do this

MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES


DF. MOrbe'B Oterlne TOulc.
Many mothers, wives sisters and daughters
lose their health and even their lives for the
want of an efficient remedy to remove the
weakening complaints to which they are SUBJ
ject. The above named remedy is prepared by
Dr. Morse of this city, and has been used by
him in his practice with great success for the last
twenty years, and there are millions now suffer-
ing for the want of such remedy. 1t is inyalua-
BILE for young females approaching womanhood
and for those passing the turn of life; also for
weaknesses caused by evil habits of early life
1t is also rejuvenates those advanced in life, of
both sexes and imparts to them the strength
and vigor of youth.
Dr. Morse has often been solicited by those
who have used this 'Tonic'' to let the world
know that he has such valuable remedy.
As there is great demand for such reme-
dy, we have prevailed on DR.. Morse to supply
us with all that we my want of it for our Gus
toners. Price So per bottle

THE RnSTON AND MAINE

THE BOSTON AND MAINE.
AUGUSTA, Feb. 1.-The first matter taken III
by the committee this afternoon was that OF
the remonstrants against allowing the Boston &
Maine Railroad Company to take up its track
from South Berwick to the point of its present
Portland extension. Mr.. Yeaton appeared fol
the company, and urged that it was question
that belonged to the courts alone. Mr.. Butler
of Biddeford, appeared for the remonstrants
He said that the Boston & Maine Company was
locating its road without the color of authority.
The petition of the Boston & Maine for author
ity to take up the portion of the track referred
to, was at this point withdrawn, probably on the
second thought that the proposed action of the
company only involved question of law, where
upon the remonstrants were given leave to with
draw.

road from Belfast to Bangor

THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE INVESTIGATED,

THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE INVESTIGATION
NEW YORK, Feb 1.-The Congressional Re-
trenchment Committee this forenoon examined
T. Z. johnson, formerly in the general order
business who stated that he had offered the
present holders of the business $50, 600 for it,
The present high prices are owing to the sums
to be paid for the privilege of obtaining the
business. johnson gave long account of
what he had heard of inspectors taking brides,
of men in the Custom House running prma-
ries, half of the employees in his opinion being
hired ever since Jackson's presidency for their
ability in cheating at elections. He didn't be-
lieve that the collectors knew anything about
the custom House business. He said charge
OF fifteen cents each for storage and labor would
be right, but he owned he never charged as low
as that when he had the general order business
Inspector Young testified this afternoon that
one James Davis, Custom House broker, is
allowed free access to baggage by steamers, in
dicating what must be passed, and. if not pass
ed as he wishes, inspectors get discharged. All
reports of such things were attended with Door
results. The compromise system, he thought
was curse to the government. He once tried
to enforce the laws at the pier of the National
Steamship line, but he never would try it again
without revenue cutter and troops. He said
merchants generally paid nothing for oaths tax

BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The perceptive fac
ulty of women is usually keener than the same
chronological organ in men. Women know
that beauty rather than genius is worshipped
by the sterner sex. A man may talk of the lat
ter to his lady-love, but the keenness of the
woman knows that he is thinking of the form
er. Women are fond of admiration; hence one
of their longings is to be beautiful. The grand
secret of female beauty is health, the power to
eat, digest and assimilate a proper quantity of
wholesome food. Take VINEGAR BITrERs. 1t

A MELANCHOLY BREAK-DowN-There are
lively break-downs that make an audience
laugh, and there are sad and sorrowful break
downs that make the kind-hearted grieve. To
the latter class belongs the enervation of body
and mind which is usually called general de-
bility," or nervous weakness" aud which,
when neglected, too often terminates in atropy
and death. wholesome medicatsd stimulant
is the one needed in cases of this description,
and science and experience unite in pointing to
PLANTATION BITTERs as the true specific. The
fact that it combines the properties of an in
vigorant with those of regulator and altera-
tive, in exactly the proportions necessary to
produce radical change in the tone of the sys-
tenn, and the action of the digestive and secret
i've organs, is an unanswerable argument in its
favor as general restorative.

in collision with sleigh which was crossing the

and his face was badly cut and bruised. On be-

the physicician who was called pronounced his
injuries very serious. 1t is said that the man
either did not hear or disregarded the warnings
given by the boys at the crossing, and whipped
up his horse to get by the street, and in this
way the accident happened. 1t is just to him
to say, however, that soon after the accident he
called at Mrs Reeds and manifested good
