Grant, on his removal from that city to Drogheda, and presented him with an Address and a beautiful Ten Service; we copy the following extract from the address:--

However unwilling, we must now admit that the time of your departure is at hand. Your ministerial course amongst us has ceased. We feel it deeply. We regret it exceedingly, and heartily wish it were otherwise. But we must give you up ; we cannot retain you. God has owned your labours in his Church here, and now He calls you to work in another part of the vineyard. Our prayers will follow you. Our spirits will unite, and ascend to the God of all grace, that He may bless you and make you a blessing.

Mr. Grant is son-in-law of our townsman, the Rev. John Armstrong, Wesleyan Minister. Lurgan Gazette.

PROSPECTUS

PROSPECTUS OF THE Portadown Penny Savings' Bank.

THE GREAT SUCCESS THAT HAS Attended the establishment of Penny Savings' Banks has led to the foundation of one of those useful institutions for the benefit of the Inhabitants of Portadown and its neighbourhood. The co-operation of a number of persons, anxious that the opportunity should be afforded for the cultivation of saving habits among the industrial classes, was sought for and cheerfully given, and a Com- mittee has been formed, Rules have been framed, and a plan of operations has been decided upon.

By the kind permission of the Town Commissioners the Deposits will be received in the Courthouse, Town-hall, every Monday evening, between the hours of Seven and Half-past Eight, thus affording the facilities of a central situation, and a convenient time for the attendance of Depositors. The Rules have been drawn up with a due regard to the interests of the Depositors, as will be seen by the extract furnished below.

The Committee feel assured that they need not dwell on the great advantages to be secured by habits of saving among the working classes; nor need they point out to those classes the duty of saving the small sums, which are too often squandered with thoughtlessness, only to be remembered with regret in the day of sickness and trouble. They leave the virtue of frugality to be enlarged upon by every Minister of religion, every Sunday School Teacher, every employer, and every head of a family, believing that the measure of success attending the Bank must mainly depend on the help of those whose influence should be exerted in favor of thrift and prudence. Experience has shown that the penny saved has been followed by another and another till pence have amounted to shillings, and even pounds, thus forming a resource for the hour of need.

EXTRACT FROM THE RULES. VII. The sum deposited at one time must not be less than One Penny, nor more than Ten Shil- lings, and no fractional part of a penny shall be received or paid. The total Deposits are not to exceed Ten Pounds. Interest at the rate of 6d in the Pound per annum will be allowed on every Pound deposited before January and July in each year, provided the Money is left in the Bank for Six Months after either of those dates. No interest will be allowed for any fractional part of a Pound. XIII.—The Accounts shall be made up to the 31st December and 30th June in each year, and Audited during the succeeding fortnight by two Auditors, to be elected annually for that purpose at the General Meeting in July—one by the Com- mittee, the other by the Depositors.

PRESIDENT: JOHN O. WOODHOUSE, Esq., J.P., Chairman of the Town Commissioners.

Our servant can get all the washing done by herself before dinner, which used to take two persons a whole day."— Joseph Cumber, Wilton-park Iron-works.

"Our caps and other garments, from not being rubbed, last twice as long as when they are washed in the old way."—Ann Stagg, Dishforth.

"We have done our washing, without a washerwoman, in three hours, which used to take from six o'clock in the morning, till six at night."—Mrs. E. Wood, Stratford.

"The saving is so great, that one woman can do as much as five can do with soap and soda." Mr. Canning, Barnsley.

Also ask for Harper Twelvetrees' "Eggs and Butter Powder," for making plum puddings, currant and other rich tea cakes, butter puddings, pancakes, and all kinds of delicious pastry, without the use of butter or eggs.
