We publish this evening the certificate of
H. W. Cannon, Esq, Comptroller of the Cur
rency, extending the corporate existence of
the Mad River National Bank, OF Springfield.
to the close of business on January IL, A. D..
1905, according to the act OF Congress of July
IL, 1882.
This bank in 1865 succeeded to the business
of the Mad River Valley Branch of the State
Bank of Ohio, which institution had a very
prosperous career. 1t never passed a dividend.
and closed up by paying back to its share
holders the par of its stock and one hundred
per cent. premium.
The Mad River National Bank of Spring
field has also been quite prosperous, and upon
inquiry made at correct sources We have OBJ
tanned the following information:
Al the present time the bank has capital
OF $500 900, and surplus fund of SS3, 1886,
and commences its extended life in a good
condition. During the past twenty years its
and it has paid over to the stockholders in
dividends the sum OF S546,64l.36.
From the foregoing statement of facts We
are authorized TO make the following con-
clusion: that the management of the bank is
entitled to some credit for its success, and the
city OF Springfield must have been, all the
time. in a strong business position to have so
well sustained, not only this bank, but four
other National Banks.

Public Installation.

There was very pleasant scene at the
installation, last evening, OF newly-elected
officers of Mitchell Relief Corps, No. 80, G.
A. R., the hall being occupied by large
company of ladies and gentlemen, comrades
of Mitchell Corps, and others. Miss N. Belle
Martin filled the responsible position of Iu-
stalling Officer with composure and ability,
giving the several charges due impressi,eness.
Mrs. Niufer, as Conductor. was prompt and
efScient. The following are the officers iu-
stalled: President, Mrs. Kate d. Putnam;
Sen. Vice, Mrs. Hettie B. Houck; J. ", Mrs
Lucy R. Grant; Secretary, Mrs. Louisa B.
Ernest; Treasurer, Miss Nettie Rice; Chap
lain, Mrs. Margaret Delo; Conductor, Mrs.
Eta Dolson; Guard, Mrs. Clara Holloway.
After these ceremonies the following brief,
but excellent, programme of special exercises
was introduced: Recitation by Mrs. V. p.
Latimer, who gave with great naturalness the
results OF little girls interview with her
mothers visitor. Next was a song by Mr.. A.
N. Burbank. Geo. C. Rswlins, Esq, recited
"Hamlet's Soliloquy, Ia Fechter." his imi-
tation OF the German tragedian receiving
immense applause. A song by Mr.. Will
Putnam was musical gem. Mrs. Louise B.
Ernest yielded 10 the desire of the audience
and favored them with one or two readings,
to the qualification of all.

A Sense of Honor.

The following is taken from an edi-
torial in The Century for December:
There is little doubt that the thing
which most needs to be preached to
this generation of Americans. by min
isters of the gospel, by both clerical
and lay instructors of the youth, by all
who have public influence or private
authority, is-a sense of honor! 1t must
be shown and insisted upon that every
position in life where one person is en-
ployed by another to do certain work.
Imposes an obligation to fulfill the du-
ties of the place with an honorable and
disinterested regard for the interests Of
the employer. 1t must be shown that
this view of employment applies to the
cook, the errand-boy, the cashier, the
legislator, the Governor, the President.
This is trite, and apparently simple,
and perhaps somewhat stupid view OF
the opportunities of q "smart" and
ambitious young American of our day;
but unless this commonplace view OF
responsibility is laid hold of by increas-
ing numbers in the future of our coun-
try, we will not say that our society
will go to pieces, but We will say that
our calamities will increase, and that
we will get into troubles, and not soon
out of them, compared with which the
dangers and distress of the past will
seem almost insignificant

Spouting Oil.Wells in Russia.

The principal oil-wells of the Baku
district lie at BalaXame or Balakhani,
about six miles to the northeast of the
town: this is an oil-feld about three
and a half miles in length by one anc
a half in breadth. To the south lies 8
smaller field called Bebeabat. One
fountain at Balakhani, ninety-eight feet
in depth. is noted as having been flow.
ing steadily for upward of two years.
and still continuing to yield 800 barrels
a day. Another well not far off, 49(
feet deep. commenced its career by
throwing up jet thirty feet in the air,
and then flooding the land with oil fol
a considerable distance all around.
overtlowing other wells and several
small refineries. so as effectually to STOP
their work. The roar of the rushing
oil and gas could be heard mile from
the spot.
Various flowing wells are said te
yield 5000 barrels day, and some faI
more; but, from the fact that these
quantities are generally stated in the
Russian measure of pools, it is not very
easy to realize what is meant. One
pood, we learn, is equal to thirty-sis
pounds English. Hence one thousand
pools represent somewhere about six.
teen tons. Accounts have just reached
England of an oil-fountain which was
struck last December. and flows at the
rate of from fifty to sixty thousand
pools daily. gushing forth with such
force as to break in pieces three-inch
cast-iron plate which had been fastened
over the well in order to divert the flow
in a particular direction. In the same
district huge heap Of sand marks the
spot where an offspring, on being
tapped, straightway threw up column
of petroleum to twice the height and
size of the Great Geyser in Iceland,
forming q huge black fountain two
hundred feet in height-a fountain,
however, due solely to the removal Of
the pressure on the confined gas, fol
there is no trace of volcanic heat. The
fountain was visible for many miles
round, and on the first day it poured
forth about two million gallons, equal
to fifty thousand barrels.
An enterprising photographer who
was on the spot secured photograph
which places this matter beyond cavil.

months, gradually decreasing week by

A Perfect Female Figure.

.Define good figurev' said a we'll
known Detroit sculptor. "Well, a good
figure is rarity. There are so many
girls who come to me to pose as models
and so very few who are of the
least use! Their knees are crooked and
their arms bent and their waists pinch
ed in-there is always something
| wrong. See that head and trunkp That
is Proserpine. She Is shrinking away
from Pluto who is about to carry her
away to the Internal regions to be his
wife. Now do you know that it took sit
tings of five different models to make
that one piece.
II did see q good figure once. She
was almost perfect You know the
Venus de Medici is supposed to be the
perfection of form. Well, this girls fig
ure was almost identical with hers.
! Had I wished to make full sized
statue I would not have changed her
one iota She was a very wealthy girl
and very indolent. Sitting always in
her room in neglige costume and taking
so little exercise, she grew to be the
very perfection of grace. Every pose
was study, and every move beautiful.
And do you know that girl laced-terri-
ribly SO. She compressed her waist. l
should think, seven inches smaller than
it naturally was. But then she wore
corsets for only about three hours each
week, she went out so little. She was
a very attractive girl, but not very
pretty-very good figures seldom are.
l will give you her dimensions. She
was feet A inches high. Then she
measured 81 inches about the bust, 26&
inches about the waist, IS inches over
the hips, inches from the armpit to
the waist, III inches around the ball of
the arm, 81 inches around the elbow.
81 inches around the wrist. You see
she tapered 4! inches from the bust to
the waist; that is right. Then her hands
and her feet were good and large. An
artist always looks forlarge extremities.
The feet of this girl were 9! inches
long. What an immense hoOfp' do |
you say. Well, not so very large.
think it was No. shoe she took.
Now, hereis cut of foot not SO large,
you will say. Well, it measures 81 in
ches. The fingers of the hand too,
must be long and taper with a curve
backward at the tips. Women have
come to me so proud of their hands,
such tiny hands, and yet perfect de-
formities, with every finger warped
and crooked.
II should have said, of course, that
no figure can be good unless well
rounded and free from angles. must
confess, though, that fine statuesque
figure would not look well draped in
the present fashion. Yes, 1 will give
my idea of fine figure in the present
fashion. Bust measure, S2 inches;
waist, "a; inches from armpit to
waist; long arms and long neck. By
neck 1 mean from the collar-boue to
the chin; and, recollect this. l would
far rather see the waist rs inches than
%. This figure shah be feet Al inches
in height. l once saw figure 1 ad-
mired a good deal, that was 81 about
the bust and &c about the waist"

Fl. L. Rock6eld, of the Arcade, was the
victim last evening of a curious mishsp. In
the course OF a game of billiards he leaned
over the table to make shot, and in some
manner gave his back a severe wrench, which
for time looked as though il might be fol-
lowed by most serious consequences. Before
the evening was over, however, Mr.. Rockfield
was "on deck" again. Anybody who thinks
the accident has impaired his skill at billiards
can satisfy himself to the contrary by calling
around and trying him.
