Good Report Of the National Banks.

Regarding some rumors OF the suffering
OF the national banks by the defalcations,
raised by the exposure OF Gould, at Port
land, Me-, Controller Trenholm remarked:
OF the 3562 national banks organized
since 1863 only 112 have become insolvent
from all causes combined. Eliminate all
who have paid their depositors in full and
] presume you would have about the num-
ber that have proved disastrous to those
who trusted in them. The 112 from all
causes combined include the recent failure
OF the Abingdon National bank in Massa-
chusetts. An examination OF the assets OF
the bank shows q very remarkable financial
state. There never was the slightest cause
for the suspension. The depositors will be
paid in sixty days, principal and interest,
all that the bank owed them, and there
will be q handsome surplus for the stock.
holders. The Abingdon bark is Il sample
OF many others which have closed without
any real cause 40 when the number OF or.
ganizations that have paid in full is de-
Quoted from the 112, it is, perhaps, safe to
say one half or fifty y-six, banks have had
dishonest officials. Considering the i'm
mense amount OF money handled in that
time, and the temptation, think the rec
ord OF the national bank system is some
thing to be proud OF.

the number of pupils present being 24O,
including the twenty-five who were alb
sent during the past year This number
will soon be increased to 2S0. So far the

During the summer the main part has
been papered and painted, including all
the dormitorles, the sitting room and

ginners. Those who would like to sec
