Journal reporter yesterday. that in his
opinion the dcpOsitors of the Norway
Savings Bank would not lose anything
by the difficulties of the bank when
have resulted from its temporary clos
ing. 1t had been closed so that there
should be no preference III the crcdl-
tors Another object in CLOSING the
banks doors for business is to have the
depositors' books brought in 50 that
a comparison can be made between
them and the books of the bank. I'm
til the comparison is made the exact
standing of the bank will not be
known. and this will take three or
four weeks.
Mr.. Tmberlake says it is not certain
there has been a defalcatiOn, and he
is very loath to blacken the memory Of
the dead cashier. He is doing every
thing i'll his power to keep the matter
as quiet as possible and reassure the
depositorS. for it is certain that the
bank is solvent and will resume bust
ness all right. If il is shown that
there was a defalcation the loss will
not fall on the bank. as the cashiers
bondsmen will be liable.

The Machias Union in speaking about
the report Of vital statistics which was
recently given out says that the report
is two years too late" 1t is true that
the report is for the year 1881 but 1t Is
not two years late. The reports from
the various towns do not come in I'M
til late in the following fall and then
making the deductions is hurried
along That it is finished in SUCH a
short time is remarkable. 1t hardly
warrants the statement that the re-
port is 1.-TWO years late.
