Judging from the number-of bank fail- ures in the west, people in the east who have money in those wildeat institutions had better ‘ ‘look a leedle oud.” The av- erage western bank is a pretty uncertain concern, as we have learned during five years residence on the plains. Most of them have their money tied up in real es- tate securities, and in case a good many of the depositors demand their money. the banks haven't got it and a break-up is usually the resnlt.

A sensible minister has the following to say of the local newspaper, which will bear careful perusal: “Your paper tells us when to go to church, to county court and when to send your children to school, or any- where you want to go. It tells you who is dead, who is sick, who is married, who is born, and many other things you would like to know. It calls attention to pub- lic enterprises, advocates the best schools and law and order in town. It records the marriage of your daughter, the death of your son, the illness of your wife, free of charge. Tt sets forth the advantages and attractions of vour town and invites immigration, and is the first to welcome new comers. Yet in spite of all these benefits, some people say that the home paper is not half so good as some city pa- | per that has no interest in their business | The home paper, like the | or success. home church, is too often neglected by those who are benefitted by it.” seen Many thanks for past favors.

For a single oath a man was fined 6s. 8d., but the charge was reduced to 3s. 4d. each on ‘taking them by the quantity.” Thus we find in the curious old records of that date that Humfray Trevett, ‘for swearing ‘by God,” 10 times,” was fined 33 shillings and committed to ‘‘goal” in default of payment therefor. John Huishe, of Cheriton, was convicted of swearing “22 oaths and 2 curses” at one time and “4 oaths and 1 curse” at another time. William Harding, of Chittlehampton, for saying several times, ‘‘upon my life,” was adjudged to be within the act of swearing, for which he was forced to pay a fine of 6s. 8d. At another time one Thomas Butland was fined for saving, “upon my troth;” Gilbert Northcotte had to pay 3s. 4d. for saying, ‘‘upon my life,” and Thomas Courtis was fined heavily for saying, ‘‘God is my witness.” Thomas Gill said, ‘‘I speak in the presence of God,” and was fined for his pains, where- upon he had a minister arrested for using the same phrase in a sermon on the fol- lowing Sunday.—Philadelphia Press.
