ASS UTS.

It will be seen from the foregoing statement that the bank has no stock invest incuts of any kind, nor any in real estate. Its assessments consist wholly of notes and cash. The securities lieid by it are sound. The mortgages are liist lion-s on real estate, situated in Vigo county, and iu all cases, of cash value equal* to tjivice the amount loaned lherton. The total amount loaned on mortgages is $2S,!)40, lor which twenty mortgages are held, varying from $35 to $ti 0 The total loans on mortgage jjiicurity are within.the limit prescribed by law— .-ixty per cent, of the whole amount of deposits. The aggregate loans upon personal security are $25,400, represented by twelve notes, »ach secured by two or more freeholders of Vigo or an adjoining county, witli the exception of a short time loan of $5,000 to the city of Terre Hautv, on an obligation miide pursuant to authority of law. The notes, with personal security, are oi various amounts from $500 to $o,000. None of the trustees are borrowers or seeufttiey.

Tlie amount of cash on hand and on deposit, in tlie Prairie City Hank, at call, held in reserve, S:),!W4.o4 is about. 16J per eAt. of the total am u^it of deposits, and is more than Mitlicieutforall thedemands of current business.

The accounts of depositors range from twenty-live cents to $2,500. The bulk ol the accounts, however, are small in amounts. There are but one hundred and thirty-six accounts which .exceed $100 ea*h. Most of the accounts are in l-e ility the savings of laboring persons widow?, children and those of small means There is at present no deposit of trust funds nor any made by order of court, and there has been but a single case of the latter kind. The aggregate amount, of deposits which have been made during the thirteen mouths ending, lsst January, 1871, is $78,930.64. Tin amount of deposits witbdnwn, during the same period, is $23,147.47.

Total S403 00 The surplus fund is about two-thirds of one per cent, on the present amount of deposits, and represents only 8 per cent, of the gross earnings to the 1-tinst. A larger per cent, of earnings might have heen trail.-terred to this fund, on either dividend, if the Trustees had seen proper to do so.

EXPENSES.

The bank has been conducted with great economy. No salaries have been paid or compensation made to any person except the Treasurer, who, until tlie 1st inst., was allowed a nominal salary of 325 per month intended to cover such clerical help as he required, leaving iiim really nothing. Tlie hank iys no rent, but occupies a portion of (he banking room of tlie Prairie City Bank, with use of itssafe, vault, &c., free of charge. The entire expense account since December 1, ISO!), to tiii date—a period of more than thirteen months has been but $645 95. One-half of this amount was expended for the necessary books, stationery, printing, &c., required to commence business. As the business increases expenses will necessarily increase, but if the same strict economy is practiced in the future they will be proportionally very low.

KKPOKTS, AC.

All the examinations and reports which- are required by the statute, appear to have been promptly made by the trustees. There lias been an evident desire and intention, manifested on their irt to eompl.v with thelaw in every particular. JSo evasion of, or departure from, any of the statutory requirements has been detected in tli is examination. There are no complaints made by the officers in respect to the operation of the present law, and no amendments thereto are suggested by (hem. On the contrary, they are satisfied with the present legislation of the State in regard to Savings Banks.

I am justified in sayinir, as the re-lilt of this investitrat'oii, that the *'Terre (faate Snvings tnk" is a safe, well managed institution, and is worthy,in all .'Vjipeet.s, oft lie uonfiilmcc «ii«-i :hu community in which it is located.

TEKKE ITAUTE, January 17,1871.

From the Evening Post.

A Sad Story of Sew York Life. Here is a story of the saddest side of NewYorklife: "Not many years ago there was a fashionable marriage in one of our tip-town churches. The bridegroom was a remarkable handsome man, of nearly thirty years of age, well known in what is called fashionable society as an agreeable, liberal bachelor and 'ladies' man.' The bride was a lovely girl, belonging to one of our best-known families, and esteemed for her character as much as admired for her beauty. The friends of both were present., and nothing surprising occurred at the ceremony, save that all present remarked upon the appearance of the bridegroom. He was apparently so oppressed by some great sorrow or anxiety that he could not smile nor command a cheerful word.

Tiiepair had spent but a few days together when the husband, after an interview with his young wife, which left her almost crushed in mind, hastily called at his late bachelor rooms, which he had not yet given up, burned a large number of papers, packed a few precious articles, and suddenly disappeared and no one of his friends now know where he is to be found. But one dreadful truth reached their ears .too quickly. At one of our new hotels in the centre of the city, but a few blocks from the church in which the marriage was performed, there were found a. woman and several children bearing his name, and she found no difficulty in establishing her ri^ht to it. She is many years older tlH'n he. They were married when he was scarcely more than a boy, and have never published the marriage but they never quarreled nor -separated. He still supporcd her and visited her and on the very day of the second marriage, at noon he "made her a long visit in his usual manner.

This event has been a sudden shogk to both families, and the ab-olute concealment of his marriage from all his friends for many years, while his \vife and children openly bore his name public hotels in this city, is as unaccountable to them as it will be to others. The young man was for several years an internal revenue officer in this city, but for some vearspast has bee in employed in a bank down-town. He had paid $3,000 a year lor the board of bis wife and children, while receiving a salary of only $2,000 and has yet maintained his bachelor life with lavish expenditures. In his rooms are said to have lain not far from a hundred suits of clothes with expensive books, and many other evidences of wealth. But his accounts at the bank are said to be entirely correct. His full understanding of what he was doing appears from the fact that he carried to tkc altar a pistol, with the fixed^ purpoe, as he afterward said, of blowing out his brains there it the ceremony should be interfered with.

We draw no moral from these facts. But the verv shock they give to all who know of them, is a proof that crimes of this kind find no sympathy or toleration in this community, arid that the standard

of morals here is not so low as some writers have said, who appeal-to su*h cases as these for illustrations of New \«rk sooietv. instead of what they really are, frightful and exceptional outrages upon it.

Herman, the uiugiclan, married a young cirl at Philadelphia several months ago, and lived happily with her until last week, when she took $2,700 of his money and a young cigar-maker, and left. This was a trick the magician was n°t «p to, and ho followed the party to find out hpw it was done, and got his money.

A girl in Baerwalde, Germany-, not eighteen years old, gave birth to lour livff children in December last.- -,j

The French are especially well pleased at the apparent modifications of the German desire to humiliate Paris by a triumphal entry into the Captital.

The negotiations between Bismarck and Favre form one of the most interest-, ing chapters in the history of this memorable war. The arrival of. Fav -e was known to none except those immediately concerned in conducting him through the lines.

On his arrival at the house occupied by Bismarck he was immediately admitted into the presence of the Chancellor. After a few preliminary remarks, Bismarck said "Well, Monsieur Favre, What is the object of this visit?" Favre, much affected, replied': "The object is to put a stop to the terrible suffering of the country for nowthat hope of relief from without seems to be lost, Paris must needs seek peace. All we ask is such consideration as a generous enemy might give without loss of advantage or honor.

Bismarck expressed a desire to do all in his power to show his respect for the sufferings and gallantry of the French nation, consistent with the safety, honor and interest of United Germany. He said that this had teen fr^m the first to the lust, the object and desire of the Emperor and all his advisors, siuce the commencement of this unhappy war—forced upon them.

Favre at first demanded the terms already reported. Bismarck lepiied.

VEHSAIIJI.ES, Jan. 30.—A cordon has been drawn around Paris, and no person allowed to enter or leave, without a permit from the German authorities. The revictuaiingofthecity will proceed under German supervision. Confidence is expressed at German headquarters that peace has been secured. The German soldiers are chagrined at beingprohibited from entering Paris.

began to whistle a Prussian air which the trumpeter sound at the boar hunt, when tlie beast is down and settled. After he had concluded the tune, he walked out again, never having a single word to any one

Next morning the terms drawn night between Bismarck and

Favre in detail, were handed to the Emperor, who opened the papers, read, frowned and observed, in a disturbed tone: "Encore trop de Baliverne." There is good reason to believe that the Emperor is badgered and bothered by tricks of politicians, but he will be well pleased wiien all is over.

A rumor is current that Moltke is greatly dissatisfied with the action of the Crown Prince's army oil the occasion of the sortie on the 19th. He thinks that ground was lost unnecessarily, and expressed his opinion openly. There is a growing coldness in consequence between the Crown Prince and the Commander-in-chief.

The great question now seems to be, what practical result will follow the armistice. I venture to predict, on what I consider good grounds, that the Regency is Bismarck's thirteenth trick, by which lie expects to win the game. In Favre and the Republicans he sees nothing but the seeds of future trouble with France.

Message from the President.

"The President sent Congress yesterday the following message: To the Senate and Home of Representatives:

I transmit herewith an official eopy of tlie proceedings of the council of Indian tribes, held at Ocmulgee in December last, which resulted in the adption of a declaration of rights and a Constitution for their govern ment together with a copy of the report of the Commissioner of Indian affairs, and the views of the Secretary of the Interior thereou. J, -u '.

It would seem highly desirable that tlie civilized Indians of the Country should be encouipgfel in establishing for

Secretary of the Interior that it would -IT/IVHIV

not be advisable to receive the new terri-

tory with a constitution as now framed,

so long as the territorial form of govern-, rnent is preserved. Congress should hold the power of approving or disapproving all legislative action of the territory, and the executive should, with the advice and consent of the Senate, have power to appoint a Governor and judicial officers, and possibly some others for the territory.

This is the first indication of the Aborigines desiring'to adopt our form of government, and it is highly desirable that they become self-sustaining, selfrelying, christianized and civilized. If successful in this, their first attempt at territorial government, we may hope for the gradual concentration of»other Indians in new territory.

I therefore recommend as close an adherence to their wishes as is consistent with safety. It might be well to limit the appointment of all territorial officers appointed by the executive to native citizens of the territory. If any exception is made to this rule I would recommend that it should be limited to the judiciary. It is confidcntally hoped that the policy now being pursued toward the Indians will fit them for self government and make them desire to settle among the people of their own race, where they can enjoy the full privilege of a civil and enlightened government.
