are generally well attended, and to each of which a Sabbath school is attached. Besides these, three sewing schools have been established, and from these instrumentalities the managers hope for much good. The report also referred to the facilities which the Society afforded for the judicious distribution of aid to the poor, and particularly pressed this point upon the attention of the benevolent. Rev. Drs. Kennedy and Campbell, and Rev. Mr. Post, delivered addresses. A collection was taken up, and, after a benediction, the audience dispersed .- Express.

Of the original Directors of the Bank, the following gentlemen survive :- WILLIAM FOWLER, GILES W. PORTER and WALTER WEED. Of the first Officers of the Bank, all but the President, the late SOLOMON SOUTHWICK, survive, viz :- The then Cashier, G. A. WORTH, is now President of the Union Bank of New York. The first Clerks were ISAAC Q. LEAKE, PHILO L. MILLS and THOMAS W. OLCOTT. Mr. OLCOTT, the Junior Clerk, at a salary of $250 a year, was appointed Cashier in 1817, and be- came President in 18?6, upon the death of the late EZRA AMES. The Presidents of the Bank were, successively, SOLOMON SOUTH- WICK, ISAAC HUTTON, BENJAMIN KNOWER, EZRA AMES and THOMAS W. OLCOTT. Its Cashiers were G. A. WORTH, T. W. OLCOTT, E. E. KENDRICK and THOMAS OLCOTT.
The financial history of the Mechanics' and Farmers' Bank has been one alike satisfactory to stockholders and useful to the business interests of our community. It has furnished, except in two emergencies when a suspension of specie payments was authorized by law, a uniformly sound and desirable currency. Beside its regular semi-annual dividends, this Bank made, in 1830, a surplus dividend of 50 per cent. Its stock sold, a few days since, 100 per cent. above par, an advance which probably indicates about the amount of its surplus dividend upon the final close of its affairs. The same stockholders, taking the same name, will organize a new institution, with the same capable and experienced officers, under the General Banking Law, simultaneously with the expiration of their charter. Con- nected with the new institution will be a Savings Bank Depart- ment, where the earnings of the industrious and frugal may be deposited with the assurance of safety under all and every con- tingency. With the Mechanics' and Farmers' Bank, to which
383
Annals of 1852.
we have had frequent occasion to apply for favors, both for our friends and ourself, and were never refused, we should part with regret, if, Phoenix like, another institution, under the same kind- ly auspices, were not to spring, full-grown, from its ashes. Though Banks are artificial creations, and therefore " soulless," we have found among those who manage moneyed institutions men with both souls and hearts. Some years ago, when the Canal Bank failed, its notes, having entered largely into general circulation, were held by journeymen, laborers, seamstresses, &c., &c. The brokers, in a season of panic, were purchasing those bills at 30, 40, and even 50 per cent. discount. Those least able to lose were necessarily the largest sufferers. To save this class of citizens from such hard sacrifices, Messrs. Olcott, Townsend, Corning, King, Taylor, Sherman, Plumb and Kendrick, the Presidents and Cashiers of the Mechanics' and Farmers', State, Commercial and City Banks, authorized us to seek out all the laboring and poor classes who held Canal Bank bills, and redeem them at par. This authority was un- limited, except as to brokers and rich persons. Acting with the late James Maher and the late Duncan Campbell (two of the best and truest-hearted men we ever knew), thousands of dollars were thu's saved to the mechanics and laborers. Each of the Banks named furnished its proportion of the Redemption Fund .- Journal.
The mean temperature of December was 24°, being 2° higher than December of the year 1851.

The guaging of the Patroon's Creek has been continued at two places, from May' 1850, to December, 1851. The above tables show the amount of water which passed through each of the sluices on this stream for each month during the above period, and also the fall of water at the Albany Academy, as furnished by Prof. Cook. The area of the water-shed above the sluice, at the junction, is 2,600 acres, and that above the sluice, at Tivoli Falls, is 8,000 acres.
The rain-guage at the academy was about five miles from the centre of the water- shed, and upon ground about 100 feet lower. The quantity of water which fell on the drainage above mentioned was not ascertained; but the guage at the academy furnished a close approximation to the true quantity, and has been used in preparing the following tablss.
