SERIOUS CoNFLAeRATIoN--NARR Es-
residence of Mr.. Edward Knower, at Copper
Hill, was totally destroyed by fire together
with most of its contents, last Wednesday
night The particulars are as follows: Mr..
and Mrs. Knower had been deprived of con-
siderable sleep for a few nights previous on
dren. On the night in question they retired
at an early hour and were soon in profound
slumber, leaving kerosene lamp burning in
the hall. About twelve o'clock Mrs. Knower
awakened and found that she could scarcely
breathe, the bedroom being filled with
smoke. She Immediately arose to ascertain
the cause, and looking into the hall saw fire
spreading in different directions. Hastily
arousing her husband, they picked up their
two children and their clothing and hurried
down stairs and from the house in their night
clothes. In this condition Mrs. X. was forced
to make her way across the frozen road to
neighbours house. Mr.. X. hastily made his
toilet out in the frosty air, by the pale silver
light Of the moon. 1t may be remarked here
that the family had only time enough to
make their escape, as the flames had already
communicated to the head-b board of the bed
upon which Mr.. and Mrs. X. and one of the
children were sleeping. few moments
more and they would have been surrounded
by fire and smothered with smoke. As it
was, the child's hair was singed. As soon as
possible the alarm was given, and the neigh
bors hurried to the scene. But SO rapid was
the spread Of the flames that it was out of
the question to save more than bureau on
the second floor, but by the herculean efforts
OF those who had come to the rescue, most of
tho goods on the first floor.were saved. There
was an insurance on the building Of $4,000
and $500 on the contents. The loss will
greatly exceed the insurance. There is no
doubt that the fire originated from the burst
ing of the lamp.above spoken of.--Democrat.

Scarcity of Money.

There is no doubt but the present copdition
of all kinds of business and industry is fear
fully depressed, and it behooves every family

Colds will prevail everywhere, and Consump

Hopewell, NJ J., Nov. 2Sth, 1876.
EDITOR OF THE RECORD With your
permission will give your readers short
statement of the r. r. accommodations we
have at this place.
First we have tho Mercer s. Somerset r. r.
(run by the p. II. r. Co.. connecting at New
Brunswick for New York, and at Somerset
junction for Trenton and Philadelphia, and
one train in the morning connecting direct for
stations above Lambertville. After that there
is no connection up the Bel. Del r. r. at all.
We had a middling fair accommodation on
that road in the first place to get down on the
Bel. Del. II. II. to our place, and since that
VIC expected to get better accommodations in
that direction every time new timetable
came out, but not so. We find always when
the time has been changed that the accommo-
dations for that direction get little poorer.
This week tie timetable has been changed
again, and we expected that it would be for
better connections up the Bel. g. Del. r. r.,
but the change is, as usual, little worse, and
now if person from the first station above
your place wants to come to this place it is
impossible for him to get back home the same
day, unless he makes the trip home on foot.
Besides he must wait about five hours at the
Junction to make the trip by coming in the
cars.
Second, we have the Del s. B. r. R., with
all its accommodations, of which we feel
proud, as we think that we have by that road
just as good accommodations as places of
much larger size
We have twenty regular trains stopping at
this place every day, and our people must give
the managers of that road much credit for the
accommodations they give us.
Now, if you look at the accommodations of
both roads and compare them together, could
the managers Of the P. r.. r. feel disappoint-
ed if all the freight and travel should go by
way of the Del. & b. r. r. which gives us all
possible conveniences, while, on the other
hand the P. r. r. gives us none for points
not convenient to go by the Del. & B.. r. r. ?
may safely say that the principal freight
business from this place has been done so far
by the P. r. r., as the depot of that Com
pany is located at much better place than on
the Del. s. b. r. r., but unless the managers
OF the p. r. r. give us better accommoda-
tions, so that we can travel not only down the
Bel. s. Del. r. R. but up, the people will take
the Accommodations they receive in consider
alton and the P. r. r. viii drive the business
to the Del. s. B. r..

SAVINGS BANk LAws.-At the last SEES
sion of the Maine Legislature the follow
ing resolve was passed:
"Resolved, That the Governor be in
structed to appoint commission consist
ing of FIVE persons, whose duty it shall be
to codify, amend, or add to the laws re-
latiug to Savings Banks, as they in their
judgment believe TO be for the best inter-
est Of the State, and report the same to
the next Legislature"
Under it, the Governor appointed; j.
). Wheelwright, Bangor; Geo. II. Pills
bury, Lewiston A. NJ. Burton, Portland :;
j. G. Brooks, Belfast; VIM. K. Smith,
Augusta. The committee met at the State
House, Thursday, and n majority agreed
upon bill to be presented to the Legis-
lature which is in substance as fol ows ::
Dividends arc limited 10 > ] per cent,
semi annually ; the State tax payable by
the banks is reduced from one per cent. !;
when the resources Of 4 bank reach five
per cent, OF its assets special dividend
is allowed no bank is allowed TO make n
dividend which in the aggregate shall
amount to more than it's actual earnings,
aud except in case of widows money and
trust funds. single deposits shall not ex-
coed $4,000.
There are some provisions ia case the
bank becomes insolveut, which are intend
ed to protect banks that are only slightly
insOlycat from being placed in the hands
Of receivers, and forced sale made Of their
securities.
There are other minor points in the bill
which the public will understand when the
same is printed We learn that the COM
mittee was not unanimous on some OF the
proposed amendments to the law, and the
bill will doubtless be opposed in the Legis-
lature. The provision for reducing the
State tax will be quite likely to meet with
opposition.
