There is sense of relief on the part of those
interested in the soundncss of our savings banks,
and the securities of the people, that the legisla
ture adjourned without disturbing or tinkering the
laws relating to these institutions. Those banking
institutions tina. arc in a sound and healthy con-
dition, can earn and pay their dspositors six per
cent while those who have made heavy invest
ments in worthless "securities, cannot long pay a
dividend of six per cent, and must eventually
succumb to the inevitable. And the sooner they
do so the better for the confding public 1t is a
matter of congratulaton that most of the savings
banks in the State good for every cent of their
deposits, and all they ask is to be "let alone" for
while by our legislators.
One Of the most enjoyable and refined enter
tainments given in this city for years, that OF
the Berger Family and Sol Smith RUSSELL at Gran
tic Hall, last evening. The audience was fair, in
point Of numbers, but not large. This made no
difference, however, in the performances. The
music by the band of lady musicians, the solos by
Miss Berger and Miss Kaisy, the songs by Miss
Berger and Mis-. Morgan, and the exercises on the
sweet-toned bells, were new, novel and rich. The
music, both vocal and instrumental, was simply
delightful. But the most enjoyable portion Of the
entertainment was the humorous songs and char
acter impersonations of Sol Smith Russell-far
removed from buffonery and vulgarsm, but ire
.istibly funny and natural. His facial expression
is truly wonderful, and look at him will bring
roars Of laughter. His imitation Of Cough was
immense, and his every act was that Of the true
artist.

A Suggestion to the Nervous.

Robust people who have, all their lives. eaten, d.
gested and slept well, can scarcely be expected to
appreciate the blessing of strong well as
those, who, having undergone all the misery en-.
tailed by weak ones have eventually regained their
nerve power. In order to experience the unspeak.
able relief of a change from an enfeebled and un-
restful to vigorous and tranquil condition of the
nervous system, the nervous invalid should try q
course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Under the
bracing and soothing influence of that benign tonic
and nervine, appetite returns, digestion becomes
complete and painless, aud sleep revists weary
eyes. The causes of nervous weakness are to be
found in imperfect digest and assimilation, and
the feeble performance OF other vital functions re-
sulting therelron. The Bittcrs remove these caus-
es, well as the nervous symptoms which they
produce. feb23-teOd&w1w

While calling upon Hon. Thos. Burrill, who is
still confined to the house, we were shown some
interesting relics. One is a linen muslin apron,
which was made by Mrs. Burrill's great-great-
grandmother. The fax was carded by her and
spun on q common wheel, then woven into the
web There are cotton filings woven in at regu-
lar intervals to make the stripes, which are heavier
than the body, and other spots Of cotton inserted
with needle. 1t was made in Epping, n H.,
and although its exact age cannot be determined,
it is without doubt more than one hundred and
fifty years old.
Another article Of interest and one Of artistic
skill, is q Master Mason's apron of satin, on which
is painted the various emblems of the order. This
was done by Mrs. Burrill fifty-one years ago. The
design coloring and execution are credit to the
maker, and it would be difficult for most of the
young ladies of the present day to initiate it.
The cheese of last seasons manufacture are fast

All of the banking institutions in this city are
now supplied with time locks. The Freemans
National Bank and the Kennebec Savings Bank
have Pillards double chronometer time lock; the
Granite National Bank, the Augusta Savings
Bank, and the First National Bank, have Sargent
s. Greenlief's double chronometer lock. The safes
are also burglar proof and with all these appliances
it would seem that those doing business with these
banks, and having deposits in them, might feel
reasona ABLY secure.
