The reunion yesterday of the surviving
members of the Third Maine Regiment
was an interesting event. As they
marched though our streets their soldierly
movement attracted attention, but there
was something more interesting than even
this in the substantial look of the men, SO
truly did it indicate the volunteer soldiery
in the late war. This regiment was mus,
tered into the United States service June
4th, 1861, under the command OF Oliver U
Howard, and took part in the battle OF Bull
Run. Colonel Lakeman was then captain
of Company ]. The regiment distin-
guished itself for gallantry and good con-
duct, and saw its first colonel rise to the
rank of Major General. The reunion yes
terday was a pleasant day in its history.
We hope IL may have many such.

A decision Of some interest to savings banks ant
dcpostors has just been made in Brooklyn. The
wife of man who had S4 900 on deposit in thu
Williamsburgh Savings Bank took his handbook
from a chest by means of false keys, filled out
draft for nearly three thousand dollars, and wen
to the bank and drew the money. The husband
knew nothing Of the matter until he went to tn,
bank to have the interest written up, when he de
manded that the money drawn by his wife SHOULD
be placed to his credit. This was refused, tn,
draft and the entry being pointed to as proof tina
the money had been drawn, and the bank also re
fused to return the whole $4,000 The bank wa
sued, and the defense was nterposed that by the
by laws the entry of the fact of payment upon tn,
books was sufficient proof of the good faith Of the
transaction. The plaintiff cited another bylaw
which requires the bank to use its best endeavor
to prevent fraud, and showed that the signatur,
attached to the draft was not even a good imits
ton of the depositor's signature. The case wa
tried before the Supreme Court by a jury, who re
turned averdict giving the plaintiff the full amoun
claimed. Those bank officers will probably be g
little more careful hereafter.

Winthrop Locals.

Winthrop Locals.
Grass promises well. The apple tree blossom is
moderate, but better than was generally expected.
The trees suffered somewhat from winter killing,
but less than some former seasons. The crop of
caterpillars is enormous; they are mostly what is
called the army worm. Many have been engaged
for the last ten days killing them in various ways;
some use kerosene upon sponge fastened to the
end of stick, while those who neglect them will
most likely be without fruit next fall. Those who
kept their apples winter lost badly by the op
Grafton. Large quantities were ground for cider,
and many after beginning to decay, were fed to
cattle. Mr.. l.. p. Moody stored some seventy
barrels, forty-fve Of which he bought, paying
ninety dollars, and this spring he picked them over,
getting seventeen barrels of good ones, for which
he received $3.50.

Adjournment OF the Law C0urt-The Wak.
ner and Gordon Cases.
The Chief Justice having called the docket,
yesterday morning, and announced opinions in
causes where determination had been reached
by majority of the justices, adjourned the court
without day, at 10 O'Clock. Among other cases
decided was that of Louis II. F. Wagner, the
Smutty Nose Island Murderer, convicted in York
county in the fall of 1873, Barrows j. presiding.
The case came before the court upon bill Of ex-
ccptions taken to the ruling of Judge Virgin. at
the March term in Knox county, upon Wagners
petition for the intervention of the court to re-
strain the Sheriff Of that county from executing
the Governors death warrant. As was generally
expected, the exceptions were ovcrruled, and, the
Chief Justice remarked, with the concurrence Of
all the Judges. The petition for writ of error
also resulted in denial of the writ. The Chief
Justice remarked that he WAS satisfied that the
judgment is right in form and judgment,
and no good reasons exist for interference
on the apart Of the court. Also, that
all his associates concurred in the propriety and
justice of denying the petition for writ of error.
Exceptions were also overruled in the case of
John True Gordon. So that the execution Of
these men must take place, unless they are par
doned before the 25th day Of June.
