New Banking and Savings Co.
I'm StrOudsburg.

The Monroe County Bank, we are inform
ed, will be murged or changed into new
banking and savings company on the lst OF
February next, to be entitled Monroe Coun-
ty Banking and Savings Co." This change
is not in any way to interfere with the depos-
its and loans made by the Monroe County
Bank, as all the loans made by that Bank
up to the lst of February next, will be settled
up on maturity, and it will do no business
after that date except to settle up its old ac-
counts. And this will be very readily etfec-
ted as the officers of the old bank are chosen
to manage the new banking company
The paid in capital we learn, of the new
Banking and Savings Company, is fixed at
$4,000. This sum the company can IN
crease at their pleasure.
The gentlemen connected with the new
Banking Company, we are informed, are,
Charles Fetherman, Hon. r. S. Staples,
Thomas A. Bell, Hon. Charles w. Decker,
DR.. J. Lantz, Thomas D. Sites, George Il.
Stauffer, and VIM. B. Bell.
The Company was organized last Saturday
by the election of the following named gen
tlemen as directors for the ensuing year:
Charles Fetherman, Richard S. Staples,
Thomas A. Bell, Dr. Lantz, and George +.
Stauffer.
Thomas A. Bell, was chosen as President,
Charles Fetherman, as Vice President, and
VIM. B. Bell as Cashier.
The above Company is organized under
an Act of Assembly which makes each one
of the Company responsible to the fu!
amount of his wealth to the depositOrS. Ii
all banks were organized on the above plan,
broken banks would soon be out of date.
All depositors have a right to know that
their deposits are secure, before making them.
We have been told that the object of the
old bank in making the above change, was
to show to the public full and complete secur-
ity to depositors. And we think Done can
find fault with the security given, as the
combined wealth of the new Company will
probably exceed $500, 900, and this fact, to-
gether with the experience and skill of the
officers chosen to run the new bank, will be
more than ample security for any possible
amount of deposits.
We learn also that interest will be paid on
any sums of money left in bank one year or
six months, and on daily deposits amounting
to $500.
The new bank will occupy the rooms of
the old Monroe County bank.
Success to the new bank.

The series of lectures announced to be
delivered by the Rev. DR.. Carrow, closed on
Tuesday evening last. The lectures with one
or two exceptions were tolerably well attend
ed. A more spicy and interesting literary
treat has never fallen to the lot of Strouds-
burg. 1t is strange that such opportunities
for improvement are allowed to pass un-
heeded-that such rare treats are treated as
if unworthy of most encouraging patronage,
while people will almost squeeze their insides
out in pushing their way into circus or
some other montebank performance. Crow
ded audiences should have, each evening.
welcomed DR.. Carrow's mastery efforts to
amuse and instruct us-for there were both
amusement and instruction in his lectures
amusement in desert ption which was neces-
sary to instruct us as to the manners, and COS
tunes of those inhabiting countries
which he SO graphically described. There is
but one voice from those who, fortunately,
attended the course, aud that is that they
we're the very ne plus ultra of lectures on
the subjects chosen. The Doctor is decided
ly the ablest man that has thus far presided
over his chnrch in this neighborhood
At the close of the last lecture last Tues
day evening, Hon. John B. Storm offered the
following resolution, which was unanimously
adopted
Resolred, That we tender Rev. DR.. Car
row our cordial thanks for the pleasure his
Course of lectures has afforded u.s. that not
withstanding the subject Of the different
lectures have frequently been the theme of
the historian and scholar, few have brought
to the consideration of them more originality
of thought, or novelty in the method OF
treatment. And whether we consider the
subject matter itself, or the grace of diction
with which they are adorned, we can cheer
J fully commend them as equal to the best
that have been delivered on these and kind
red subjects.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1875.

B6s~ Our distinguished neighbor over the
heard tell off Two weeks ago ''knix Wiser
ism" and The School Qreston' were the
matters which ruffied his pin feathers. Last
week it was grim visSaged war, which
shook it's 'hoary locks" before his eyes.
And it is President Grant who is doing ii!
this. Neighbor, neighbor, don't be so scary.
1t is not an old soldier, and one accomplished
in that line, as even you yourself will readily
admit, who is going to plunge the country
Into an unnecessary war. Now we an a
lit scared and and you need not be. We
don't want to go to war with SPAN and
Spain has no idea of going to war with us on
the Cuban question or any other. We know
and you know that the Cuban Patriots have
long been favorites with the Democracy
ostcnsibly, or rather, pretendedly, and if that
party could have plunged the administration
into war and thus brought reproach upon
it that would have been accomplished long
ago. The administration, however, has a
real desire for Cuban liberty and will, and is,
leaving no stone unturned to secure that end
Iy pcaceabe means. There is no telling
what nay turn up--no fortelling the future
but the administration is for peace with ali
nations, and is doing nothing to interrupt
that peace IF, however, war should come,
through the acts of Spain or Mexico una
toned for, the hero President will prove no
ways slow in maintaining the honor of our
flag and the rights of humanity. There is
nn telling how far Democracy may go towards
frustrating the desires of the administration,
for peace, but let Democracy keep hands off
and we feel safe in assuring our neighbor
that there will be no need of trips to Switzer
End in search Of theologic lore.

of Mrs Millers, in Mahanoy township, near
Shamokin, Pa, robbing her of twenty one
hundred dollars A son-in-law, who was
stopping there over night, was aroused by
the noise, seized u gun and fired at the rob-

killing a man named Huges, and seriously
wounding another whose name is unknown.
4 later despatch states that one more was
captured, and all the stolen money found
secreted about his person.

The Grand Vocal and Instrumental Con-

At an early hour on Monday evening the
