RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the Savings bank of Walpole at a
meeting of the trustees held March 2;
Resolved, The recent death of Mr.
Henry c. Lane deprives the board of the
services of one whose wise counsels have
done much to add to the prosperity and
usefulness of our bank from it's inoep-
tion. Mr.. Lane was one of the founders
of this institution and at the first meet
ing of it's members in August, 1875, was
chosen one of it's trustees, and served
continuously on the board until his death
as one of it's examining committee.
He gave no perfunctory attention
but brought to his duty the sagacity
and painstaking care which he gave
to all business committed to his
charge, but not long after he thus be
came connected with this bank, he was
called upon and assumed similar duties
in the Bellows Falls Institution for say
ings, a much wider and more eXacting
field. But he never forgot his duty to
us or suffered our interest to be in any
way thwarted by his connection with a
bank so near that it might almost be re-
garded as a rival. 1t is with sincere re-
gret that we part our connection with
this wise and honest man, when life
brought with it to us and the commun-
ity who respected and believed in him,
much genuine good.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
entered on the records of the bank and a
copy be sent to the family of the de
ceased.
At this meeting held at the office of the
Savings bank OF Waipofe, John ". Hay
ward was chosen trustee to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Henry G.
Lane, and T. B. Peck member of the
examining committee.
CLOSING CONCERT.
The last entertainment in the Walpole
free lecture course took place Thursday
evening, February 2S, when, according
to previous announcement, concert was
given by the Wesleyan Male Quartet of
the Nebraska Wesleyan university. The
quartet was assisted by William T. Hous-
ton, a bright young artist in his speciality
as humorist and musical imitator, and
an acquisition to the program presented.
His exact limitations of the cello, and
cornet with triple tonguing, we're con
sided marvellous and comic imitation
of the German street band was distinct
novelty and won him Well-deserved ap-
plause. The gentlemen comprising the
quartet possess remarkable musical abil-
ity and their voices show excellent and
careful training. The harmony in the
quartet singing has received especially
favorable comments, and also the tenor
and baritone solos by Messrs. Farmer
and Rose. In the bass solo in "Nellie
Gray" the pleasing quality of Mr.. Trues-
dale's voice was particularly noted, while
the whiStling solo rendered by Mr.. Ire
land pronounced him unusually gifted in
that regard. The notes were sweet and
clear and could be heard distinctly
throughout the hall. Each number on
the program was encored and met with
a kindly response. The personality of
the quartet was singularly pleasing aside
from the musical talent and ability ex-
hibited, and the enthusiastic interest
and sympathy of the large audience in
attendance was manifest from the first,
and proved the concert a successful ter
mination to the seasons lecture course.
