 Connecticut Sayings Banks.-The New London Telegram speaks of the savings banks of Connecticut as follows:
 As general rule the savings banks of Connecticut may be considered the safest financial depositaries in existence. We can recall but a single case of disastrous failure among them for many years. Recent legislation in Connecticut has been so fa-
 vorable to the banks that it is quite likely to result ID an increase of the rate of inter. est on deposits as compared with that paid
 during the last year. The depositors who
 have yielded to foolish fright and become
 the custodisns of their own funds will
 doubtless repent when they come to look
 calmly at the situation, and parties having
 surplus earnings to invest, will conclude that they can do no better than to entrust
 them for safe keeping and increase to insti-
 tutions which have always maintained good records. and are to-day as sound as at any
 previous period in their history.

He sells first class goods at low prices, and lets peo- pie know it by his generous advertisements. This plan pursued by any business man will 80 surely bring prosperous business, as the refreshing rain and genial sun will bring a glorious harvest, for it is only a ph1losophi- cal fact that certain principles applied will produce certain results. Mr. Hall has heard with no little surprise the discussion of the question of hams in THE NEWS for a week or two past, and says he also sells hams for l ten cents per pound. and puts hls shoulder to the wheel at elght cents per pound for shoulders, and has had no thought of such thing as boosting on these prices, for, with him. they are simply his regular prices on these commodities, His large advertise m0nt ia verY infnrQatin0 Read if .....-.
