The St. Adams Messenger prints the fol-
lowing: \ man in Montpelier had money
in q savings institution OF that town. For
several causes probably due to the financial
panic the country is now undergoing, he
withdrew Sl1O0 from the bank. After
withdrawing this he celebrated his escape
from financial ruin by getting into
glorious state of intoxlcation, aud while in
that condition hid his money for safe keep
ing Now that he is sober he cannot re-
member where he hid it. Now, whether
the moral that adorns this taeh is not to
withdraw your money from the bank, or
not to hide your money, or not to get
drunk, or all three, or any one or none of
the three mentioned acts, i. lett for the
reader to decide.
