The failure of' so many banks in the Dominion as have taken place within al few short months milst of necessity atâ€" tract. the attention of the government, and the question arises in our mind what are the duties of the government, towards the ppblic withrespoet thereto IFS the law, as it now is, sulficiently stringent to guard the public from 105? that can be avoided in the matter 0 bank failures? For instance, take the case of the Central Bank of Toronto, supposing the government had inspectors appointed whose duties should be to inâ€" j spect all bank accounts, and more esâ€" pecially whose duties should be to inâ€" vestigate most stringently and carefully the returns that the banks have periodiw oally to make to the government, is it to be supposed that such fraudulent reâ€" turns as the Central Bank must have made would have been aliowed to pass unchallenged. Some one evidently in the last returns ofthis Bank has sworn to that that is not true, and therefore, liable to be prosecuted for perjury. The shameful showing up that the direc- tors and cashier of this institution have undergone the past week‘ or two ought to be enough to make them forever hide their heads. We, in this village, have undergone considerable loss, inconâ€" venience and trouble in consequence. We hear of several cases thatealls for the sympathy of all who have Feeling for the troubles of hunrrnity. In one case, we are given to understand, that two young ladies or their friends deposited for safe keeping only. and not on interâ€" est,a large sum of money but a short time belbre the bank stopped. it would be worth while to try the question, whether this could be considered an ordinary account of the bank. The duke printed on each paper denotes the time when the subscription expires. We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions of our Correspmldents. The following is from the Toronto Net. :-â€"“Ot‘ the Ccntral's Board of“ Directors who are in town, and who have- made up their minds to face the fury of the storm, one stands to lose $40,000, another 818,000, the third $35,000, and the fourth $15,000. This of course includes the double linbilityl which they expect to have to meet. Onel of them in an interview expressed regret. F not so much for the loss of the money as for having his name ccnnected with t such a disgraceful affair. ‘ There we} sat,’ said he, ‘day after day, like fonlsl believing all that Allen told us. We1 placed implicit confidence in him, andl now have to suffer for it. I knew noth l ing of the Cox transactions, nor were; they ever mentioned at the Board meetâ€" ing. Three years ago Mr. Cox applied; for a bill of discount with us, As soon asit was broached at the meeting of directors [ strongly opposed it. and in order not: to offend him. as we knew he was a dangerous man for a young banki teoflend him, we referred the securitiesl he wanted to give as collateral to our 50% éiciter.

Mrs. “'ylie and Missy Spragge, who were attending the Teach~ ears’ Convention at Newmarket on Thursday and Friday lastz had a {sly unpleasant experience on their return journey in consequence of the storm. The train was several hours late so that they did not reach Richmond Hill station until midnight. Owing to the almost impassable nature of the roads, it, was impossible to travel further than Patterson, which they re: shed at 3 am. and were obliged to remain until Saturâ€" day. The w‘ather was bitterly cold’ and both ladies suffered severely from the effects of their exposure. At l’iekâ€" cring, the Friday night westâ€"hound passenger from Montreal struck a drift and had to remain all night. In the morning, the passengers were transferred to a train in waiting on the other side of the drift, and brought through to the city.
