TEERITOEE OF TFASHINGTCV,
The Portland daily press., 1875-05-05

RURDoCK PLANTING Yesterday there was
an unusual scene in the rear Office of the Port
land Savings Bank. In the middle sat the OIL
GERS of the Cumberland County Agricultural
Society. on either hand the representatives OF
the two agricultural clans OF the town OF Cum-
berland, each of whom, we regret to remark,
reverse the scrptural prophesy by beating their
blows into swords, that is, fguratively. The
county society some time since voted to nold
its autumnal show with the Cumberland Club
This was the "red rag to the Cumberland
Centre organization, and they demanded
hearing in order that the decision OF the county
society officers might be revoked. 1t was EVIL
dent that war was a brewing. There was blood
in the agricultural eye there were thistles and
burdock burrs in the agricultural hair. Inc
Centre opened. Itrecited the cause of the war
in Cumberland agriculture, which has extend
ed to the caucus, the town meeting, and posi-
bly the church. AS the Centre warmed up 1t
beean to hurl epithets. Cumberland retorted,
and the war of words changed from warm to
hot. Both parties are composed of very re-
spectabe and worthy citizens, yet they made
themselves very wicked, very tricky, very men
dacious and all that
At length the battle was ended by the county
society. who said they had accepted an invita-
tion to hold their fair with the Cumberland
Club, ignorant of the feud; nevertheless as
they were not parties to it, they should hold
their fair with the Cumberland Club, Ignoring
and at the same time deploring the bitter feud
which existed. The latter part of the meeting
was held in the Aldermen's room.

susuensiou of n Banking Mouse

Early yesterday morning report was clrcu-
lated throughout the city that the Bank of
Portland had closed its doors. This is not a
national bank or one doing business under any
charter but has been run by Mr.. w. N. Goold,
who, for several years, has been connected with
the banks of the city, being cashier with the
Second National when it closed up its affairs.
Monday, Mr.. Goods paper to the amount OF
ST.. 900 was refused and returned by the Ever
EFT National Bank of Boston, although he has
collaterals in that bank three times the amount
of the drafts refused. By other parties it is
said that the capital of the bank is but $4,000
and that it had deposits amounting to $40 0o0.
There are multitude of rumors afoat, none of
which it would be judcious to print MIR.
Goods business is said to be somewhat ex-
tended, but those best acquainted with his af-
fairs ara confident that he can pay all his cred
itors doll ar for dollar. Mr.. Good went to Bos-
ton yesterday to arrange matters there and on
his return it is expected that he will make a
statement of his affairs. The matter produces
no uneasiness, but is a matter of general re-
mark, though the proprietor of the bank is not
accused eff any Intentional wrong and has the
confidence of those of his creditors knowing
him best His deposltorS live in the vicinity
and none of them have any considerable amount
involved.
