AUGUSTA SAVINGS BASK,
Feb. r. 1877.
The Legislature of Maine, having at its recent
Session enacted law in relation to savings banks,
which makes several important changes affecting
the privileges and rights Of depositors, the follow
ing statement Of its provisions are deemed neces-
sary:
l,t The act will take effect March H. 1877.
"a. The regular semi-annual dividends are lin
tied to two and one-half per ccnt-but
Sd. The law provides that once in three years.
the net earnings of any bank shall be divided rata
bly, among depositors, Of one, two and three years
standing.
4th. No savings bank cam after March II,
1877, receive from any one deposOr over two
thousand dollars, except from widows orphans, adj
minstrators, executors, guardians, charitable in
situations, and as trust funds. In these cases
deposits may be received and interest paid, on
any sum without limit as to amount.
9th. The act does not affect transactions
entered into by the bank, before the time when it
takes effect, or apply to deposits remaining in the
bank at that date, viz; March 10, 1877.
9TH. All deposits in savings banks arc exempt
ed from taxation by cities, towns or municipalities,
either to the bank or the depositor.
9TH. Savings banks are required to pay,
here tofore tax of half OF enc per cent. semi
annually to the State, for the of schools, and
for State purposes. This requirement will not.
however, interfere with the payment by this bank
of the highest rate of interest allowed by the act.
Sth. The banks required at the end of each
six months TO pass to reserved fund, an amount,
which IN all well managed banks will be ample to
protect depostors from injury from any losses
which may happen to the bank in the management
OF its business and investments, and fully secure
deposors from loss.
9th. Money deposited by married women or
minors, is declared TO be the property of such
married women or minors, payable only to them
or their order, and not subject to the control of
husbands or parents
10th. Banks have the right under this act, as
heretofore to require, if deemed proper, thirty
days notice for the payment of $500 or less, and
sixty days notice Tor any sum over $500.
The foregoing arc the principal features of the
new enactment, which have especial reference to
the rights and privileges Of dcpositors. Various
changes are made in existing statutes by this new
ac;, having for their object the more perfect and
systematic mauas cement of the banks, the regula
ton and restrictions of investments Of funds and
for the security of deposits, and the protection Of
depostors from disaster or loss.

At his Sunday evening meeting Rev. Mr. Pen
ney took occasion to give a description of the
Moody and Sankey meetings that he had the priv
ilege of attending in Boston. In regard to Mr..
Moody. his first impression of his style and man
ner was rather unfavorable, but soon his intense
esrnestness, directness and conservation to his
work, awakened and held the admiration. Hi
voice has been considerably strained by speaking
in the open air and TO immense audiences. But
you forget all about that as you are moved by his
eloquence and persuasive powers, and you cease
to wonder that people gather from near and from
far 10 hear him preach. AT the inquiry meetings
In the tabernacle some one hundred rise each day,
and large numbers at the "overhow" meetings that
are held in the adjacent churches. Sankey's
singing, MIR. Penney reports, is very sweet and
effective, though the effort of constant use has told
perceptibly upon it. One piece that he sang
"Knocking, knocking, knocking,"-was very
touching, bringing almost to view the Man of sor-
rows patiently knocking for admission at the sim
ners's heart.

House.
The House resumed its session at haf-past ten.
when Field for the purpose of bringing the mat
ter before the House in due form offered the fol
lowing order: That the counting of an electoral
vote from the state of Florida shall not proceed in
conformity with the decision of the commission
but that the votes of Call George, Hilton and
Bullock be counted as votes from Florida for the
President and Vice President of the United
States.
Hale of Maine, moved an amendment as fol-
lows:
Ordered, that the counting Of the electoral
votes from Flol ida shall proceed in conformity
with the decision of the Electoral Commission.
Knott offered as substitute for Fields order, an
order reciting the language of the electoral act
that the commission might in view of such petit
tons dispositions and other papers as shall by the
constitution and now existing law be admitted re-
citing also the fact that in the Florida case the
commission had decided and determined that no
evidence would be received or cons dered which
had been Submitted to the twa house il ieint cen
venton by the president of the Senate that ccrt-
fcate No. (that of Hayes electors) contained no
evidence whatever, while certificates No. and
3, those Of Iilden eectors) did contain evidence
fully and specifically showing the fact that the lat
ter had been duly elected and appointed as cleo
tors; and therefore ordering that the decision of
the commission and the grounds thereof be re-
committed to the commission, with the request
that the same be so corrected or explained; and
that the commission be further requested to furn-
lsh IN detail the true reason of its decision SO that
the House may be enlightened as to the course it
ought 10 pursue in the discharge of its duties and
that in the meantime the votes OF the Hayes cleo
tors be not counted.
Hale made point of order that under the cleo
toral commission law it was the imperative duty OF
the House, at the end of two hours debate, to
vote on the main question, which was whether the
votes should be counted to conformity with the de-
csion, and that nothing in the shape of delay in
whatever form presented could now arrest the
wheels of its decision.
Wilson added to Haes point of order that this
House could refer nothing to the commission as
that would require at least concurrent action.
Wood declared any intimation of desire on the
part OF the democratic side Of the House to inter-
pose any factous opposition to any decision of the
electoral commission, entirely gratuitors and
unsupported by anything that had taken place.

A former citizen Of Augusta, now in Obispo, the
southern part of the State of California, writes to
his friends here:
There has been no rain in this section Of
the State for eleven months, the last having fa-
len in March last. The farmers have sown their
grain, but it proves to have been labor and seed
thrown away, for the ground has not particle of
moisture. Hay, which was selling three months
ago for Sc per ton, is now sold for from Slj to
$40; wheat formerly Sl.2j, 81 2j barley,
formerly 75c. now Sl.2j. Last year at Christmas
time the grass and grain was six or seven inches
in height, but to day the ground on all sides is as
barren an ash heap. One stock raiser in this
vicinity has already lost 200 head of cattle, and
sheep raiser over the mountains is now losing 10
sheep per day. The people in this immediate vi
cinity are in state of great encouragement and
dread, and if rain does not soon fall the condition
will indeed be little short of famine.
