BANK EXAMINER,

The appointment of Hon. w. w. Bols-
ter Of Auburn by Governor Perham as
Bank Examiner, is one justified by the
personal character of Mr.. Bolster. and APP
proved by the first men in the State quail
fed to Judge Of what is necessary in the
occupation of the position to discharge its
duties well. That the prudence and wis
dom of the Governor win appear In the
selection which he has made as Mr.. Bols-
ter enters upon and becomes familiar with
his duties there Is no reason to doubt
Mr.. Bolster was born In Rumford, Oxford
county. and is now forty-eigit years of
age. He is q lawyer by profession, and
served six years - County Attorney OF
Oxford. For more than eleven years he
was connected with State affairs, eight
years Of which he was Engrossing Clerk,
and two member of the Senate. the last
year as President. His first position was
n small cierkship, from which he rose I'M
til he filled the most honorable place in
the legislature. Having been six times
elected county attorney, and twice cleo
ted senator by the popular vote, he is well
endorsed by the people among whom he
resided. Not long since he removed from
Dixfeld, in Oxford County, his former
residence, TO Auburn, where he is now
following the practice Of his profession.
He is an eminently sound and safe bust
ness man, honorable and upright in all
his dealings, with ability TO perform what
ever he undertakes. The very best BUSH
ness men in the State, at points where the
duties of Bank Examiner are well under
stood. are among his endorsers, where
they would not probably be found unless
his capacity and fidelity were known by
them. Mr. Bolster will serve the State
well we have no doubt, and creaitably 10
himself and friends.

The serious less Of life and properly :hr

The serious less Of life and property through
vessels carrying delk-ioads has arrested the
attention OF English underwriters |. was
stated at recent meeting of seconl- class ship
insurance associations that thirty vessels car
rying deck-gcads. and belonging TO the North
of England, had been lost on their royages
from Quebec 10 the United Kingdom last fall,
and that Atty Per cent Of the large feet hich
left the ST. Lawrence in tie fall of the year,
Undertaken, for England, were either lost or
missing. TWAS computed that the actual loss
to the North of England in ships cargoes this
winter, through the abandonment of large YES
sells laden with timber from America in the
Atlantic, was between f200 600 and f30o, 900 ;
and the larger proportion of the loss, with the
fearful sacrifice Of life which ensuei. was
