Win dham County Saving. Bank.

The second Tuesday in January, 1874,
was the Goth anniversary of the legal life Of
this institution, and it seems to us both fit
ting and proper TO preseat the public,
and especially the depositors who have en-
joyed its benefits, with short history OF
its foundation and steady growth TO the
present time. In the fall OF 1853 the follow
ing named well known gentlemen-Chapin
Howard, John Rice, Jr., William Il. Shaf-
ter, John Roberts, Austin Birchard, Par
don Kimball. Marshall Newton, and Will
liam L. Williams-presented petition to
the Legislature OF the State asking grant
OF Ger tain corporate rights, to wit: to be
constituted body polite and corporate, to
be known as the Windham County Savings
Bank, and by that name to know and be
known, sue and be sued, have common
eal receive deposits, make loans and
transact all the business pertaining to in
slit tutions Of this kind. The charter was
granted, and by its terms Marshall Newton
was empowered 10 call the first meeting OF
the corporators. Such meeting was duly
called and holden at the inn of ]. w. Per-
ry, now the Fay etteville House, on the 2lst
day of December, 1858. The Hon. John
Roberts was chosen chairman, and twenty
three names were added 10 the corporation,
as by the terms of the act OF Incorporation
we may have fifty corporators, and they
shall annually choose from their number
| president, vice president, and fifteen direc-
| tors The next business was tho choice OF
a committee 10 frame and report code of
bylaws. Said committee were duly chos-
en- and tho meeting adjourned until the
second Tuesday in January, 1854, when
they met, heard aud adopted the report of
their committee, and the directors, by a
unanimous vote, elected Austin Birchard
| treasurer, and thus gave the institution its
first breath of business life. Mr.. Birchard
faithfully and honestly discharged the
| growing duties and burdens of the position
for twenty years, and when at last he laid
down the pen and sought rest in the seclu-
sion of his home, the directsrs felt II priv
ilege to present him with handsome and
substantial testimonial of their respect and
confidence. A correspondent has hereto
fore made note of the matter, so will pass
it over without further comment. As will
be noted, our venerable ex-troasurer is the
only surviving member Of the original
eight corporators. The first year the bank
received from one hundred and eight de-
positors Sll, ,609.s2, and Mr.. Blrchard re-
ceived for his salary $4s.6s. January, IS a,
the institution had received from five hun
dred deposltors SIOl, ,l77.l9. January, 1874,
the total deposit by ffteen hundred and
eleven depositors was SS45, ,427.O2. The div
idends declared amount to some 500, 800. 90.
The past year the institution has declared
two dividends Of three per cent each and
an extra dividend of FIVE per cent, making
a total of eleven per cent for the past year,

bold face on IL. Then buy another bag, and
proceed on your journey. You need never
fear getting nights lodging g If you possess
a bag, and if you don't happen to have one,
don't despair, but go straight in and ask
for a bed they will not refuse. Order
supper and break fast and such like. After
break fast you can say : "Can have the

be able to do my business, to-dayY

hotels help yourself 10 one when you de-
part, and you are all right again. 1t is

penny left and no bag, and tonight, the
10th Of January, I have one half-penny in
my pocket and bag to be going on with,

of direct writing, exhibited sometimes,
in darkness, sometimes in light, sometimes
without any apparent agency, at others
through the medium ofahlnd. The eleventh
class embraces the rarest phenomena, name
ly, those Of phantom forms and faces which
he witnessed in very few instances only. The
twelfth class covers phenomena that seem
to point TO the agency of an exterior intel
ligence, other than that of tho medium or
some person In the room. Although the
hypothesis has been suggested THAI the
medium is the source of this intelligence,
by those who think they see in this an ex-
PLANTATION Of many Of the facts, yet Mr..
Crookes has reason TO believe that in GER
tain Instances, at least, they result from the
agency of an outside intelligence, not be-
longing 10 any human being present. He
then proceeds 10 indicate the theories that
have been brought forward TO account for
the phenomena observed.
The first theory, that the phenomena are
all the results of tricks, clever mechanical
arrangements, or legerdemaln-the medi-
ums imposters and the rest Of the company
fools-he considers inadequate to explain
more than very small proportion Of the
facts.
Mr.. Crookes then sums up the different
theories advanced by those who under
take 10 account for the transactions, and
promises to give his own views in a vol
ume soon TO be issued.

ABOUT THOSE APPLEs.-The old conun-
drum about the number Of apples eaten by
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden has
started on another tour. We are sorry, for
the answer has never been correctly given,
making the result as follows: Eve and
Adam 2, total of 10 only. Now we fig
ured the thing out far differently long ago,
but through exceeding modesty never pro-
claimed the result, which is now given
Eve and Adam also. Total l6.--DOston
Journal.
We think the above figures are entirely
wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 81, certainly
the total will be 90. Scientific men, how
ever, differ. On tho strength OF the theory
that the antediluvians were a rase of giants,
and consequently great eaters, they reason
something like this; Eve Slst, and Adam

The Do,ology out OF Tune.

Old Mr.. Collamer, one of the members Of
our church, is extremely deaf. Last Sum
day the clergyman during the sermon had
occasion to introduce 1 quotation, and as 1t
was quite long he brought the volume with
him, and when the time came ho picked
up the book and began TO read from it. We
always sing the Old Hundred doxology
after the sermon, at our church, and Mr..
Collamer, seeing the pastor with a book,
thought the time had come, so while the
minister was reading he opened the hymn
book at the place. Just as the clergy maH
laid the volume down, the man next TO Mr..
Collamer began toyawn, and Mr.. Collamer,
thinking he was about to sing. i"'"' ediate-
10 brol.a 49,. s..tO OId Hundred, at the top
OF his voice. As the clergyman was just
about to begin with the secondly" and as
there was of course perfect silence Ia the
church, the effect OF Mr. Collamer's vocifer-
alton was startling. But the good old man
didn't notice that anything was the matter;
so he kept right ON and sung the entire
verse. When he concluded he observed
that everybody else seemed TO be quiet, eX-
coping a few who were laughing, so he
leaned over and said out loud to the man
who yawned, What's the matter with this
congregation, anyhow? Why don't they
go homer" The man turned scarlet, and
the perspiration brqllIESu cut all over him, for
he felt that tho eyes OF The congregation
were upon him, and he knew that he would
have to yell TO make Mr.. Collaner hear.
So he touched his lips with his finger, as a
sigu for the old man t. keep quiet. But
Mr.. Collamer misunderstood the motion.
"Gcin TO sing another hymn, hey? All
right" and he began 10 tumble his hymn
book again. Then the sexton sailed up tho
aisle, and explained matters out loud to
Mr.. Collamer, and that gentleman subsided
while the minister proceeded with his dis
course. Tho elders have written Mr.. Col

in England, says the British journal Of
Science, the men worked when the ther-

temperature is considerably over 100, and
the radiant heat to which the workmen are
subjected far exceeds 2l2 degrees. In
Turkish bath, the shampooers continue
four or Ave hours at time in moist at

THE CUBAN INsURRECTIoN.- The war OF
insurrection in Cuba is now entering on its
sixth year, having first broken out in the
latter part of 1865. During the last four
years the insurgents have made little if any
progress, but it is also true that they have
held their own and have repelled and rout-
ed every Spanish expedition that has Sought
to penetrate their Businesses among the
mountains Of The interior. The last advices
from the island indicate that the govern
ment is about to make one more tremend-
GUS effort to crush the rebellion. Captain
General Jorellar has issued procla nations
declaring the entire island in a state of
siege, inau9urating a general reign of
drum head courts, and putting the laws un-
der the feet of the infantry. He has also
instituted very strict system of conscrlp-
tion, and expects to crush the insurrection
