A CENTURYS PROGRESS.

The passing of the Nineteenth cen tury marks the progress of the most wonderful epoch in the worlds his tory. The world has made greaer ad- vances in the arts, sciences, philoso- phy. literature and government in the last hundred years than all the time prior to iS6D ArchaeoIogiets and an- tiQuarians have eXFiofd the buried cities of ancient Egypt to learn the lore of the ancients, but nowhere have their discoveries revealed anything pcrtaing to civilization like that of eur own It is true that Greece had her Metropolis. Rome her Forum and that Raphael painted, Fhidias carved the image of Athene, Percles pro claimed the glory of Athens, Rameses built the towering pyramids and erect ed the silent =spynx, all before Anno Domini began to be written. but With all of these, aad hundreds of others to be added, the achievements of the worlds history prior e lSao are lot to be compared with the worlds pro gress during the last hHHdred yeats. An hundred years age tbe United States had just ,'u aesd Itom a re- Aellion for their in4el eadanee and as Ratton were in their infancy. They had ulther army, navy nor money. Their Iag was "unhonoreG and Hn- saas. and put little respected abroad But for the patriotism and public Hirit of a Washington, Robert Morris n Adams and a Jefferson, the re- sources and sagacity of Alexander lEuilton and the statesmanship of | Madison. the infant nation would have passed into a state of dissolution fom sheer weakness.

dent, P. Fl. Griffin; vice-president, M.
M. Darke; cashier, VIM. Thayer. The
chairman of the clearinghouse COM
mittee, S. II. Clement, said:
1T should be distinctly understood
that the closing Of the Niagara bank
has been brought about solely by rea-
son of its close connection with the
City national bank, its president hav-
ing been vice-president of the City
national bank, and that no other bank
here is in anyway affected"
At meeting Of the clearinghouse
committee, Monday, at the close Of
the days business, the Niagara bank
was the only bank that applied for
any assistance, and arrangements
were made TO give the assistance
asked for, pending the report by tho
banking department as to the SOL
yency of the bank.
Mr.. Kilburn, the superintendent Cf
banks, on his arrival in this town, be-
came satisfied that the bank could
not do with the assistance asked for,
and accordingly directed that the
bank be closed in order to best pro.
tect all interested.
The bank superintendent was seen
In the Niagara bank, and asked why
the bank was closed. He said:
~ have closed this bank because ]
think it insolvent. The main reason
for the failure is the failure Of the
City national bank. This bank is in
volved in that to an extent not yet
announced, but do not deem it safe
to permit this one to continue busi-
ness longer. As to whether this bank
has been in trouble heretofore, have
nothing to say"
