Resignation and Election OF Director

Resignation and Election of a Director.
At a special meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Farmers and Mechanics National
Bank, this city, held August 9th, the follow
ing letter of resignation was read:
WESTMINSTER, August &c. 1885.

Mechanics National Bank: l am compelled by reason

On motion the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted, all the members of the
Board being present except Mr.. Blggs, who
came in a little while after:

Cashier is hereby ordered to engross these resolu-
conv III Mr. Rennett with orr sincere hone of his
speedy restoration to health.
The Board then went into an election for a
Director to fill the vacancy caused by the res
ignation of Mr.. Bennett, and Hon. Chas. B.
Roberts was unanimously chosen for the po-
sition. Mr.. Roberts, being sent for, at once
appeared and took the oath of Office, and the
same was forwarded to Washington imme
diately. The selection of Mr.. Roberts, and
his acceptance of the trust, is regarded as an
excellent omen by the stockholders and Gus
toners of the Bank, as several of the older
Directors have heretofore been compelled to
resign on account of bad health and the in
creasing infrmities of age, among whom we
name Mr.. Geo. Schaeffer, who has been sue
ceeded by his son, Milton Schaefer, of NJ.
Bachmans Mills, who has been succeeded by
his son-in-law, Mr.. j. Wesley Biggs. Mr..
Harry NJ Clabaugh, of the firm of McKellip
& Clabaugh, has also been appointed counsel
to the Bank during the extreme illness of
Judge VIM. n. Hayden.
