RUN ON THE ROCHESTER SAVINGS BANK. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Jan. 2.-The run on the Rochester Savings Bank was insignificant. The fact that the bank is perfectly sound was soon established, and allayed all excitement. Only the small depositors drew out their money. The institution kept its doors open evenings and on New Year's Day to meet the demands, but the amount drawn out was small. A large quantity of currency sent from New-York was not needed, and will be returned to that city.

# Letter from Rev. J. Copeland. WEBSTER, N. Y., January 26, 1878 Messrs. Editors: -I learn from your paper of the 23d instant, which comes an ever welcome visitor into my family, that in St. Johnsbury pansies were picked in full bloom from the ground on New Year's day, and the song of summer birds was heard also. That is a remarkable fact, but we can equal it here, for on that same day, but a little distance from our house, a party were out in the door-yard engaged at a game of croquet, a thing that was never known here before at that time of the year, and probably may never be known again. The ground was entirely bare and the temperature mild, so that it was not at all un-comfortable to play at the game at that time. During December cherry trees were reported in blossom in some parts of this county. The mildness of the season is a common subject of remark. We have read of the mercury down to thirty eight degrees below zero not long since in your village; in this place it has not yet reached lower than four degrees below, and only once as low as that. We have had but six days' sleighing thus far, and that was very poor. No ice has yet been gathered for our summer use. It has formed at best only to the thickness of four inches, and remained at that only a couple of days. The streams are all clear at the present time and ice-gatherers think they have a gloomy prospect before them. Last winter was remarkable for its depth of snow and cold: this for the absence of snow and mildness. Business throughout this region is dull, and times are hard. I asked a man from an adjoining town, not long since, how the times were? He replied: "It is the liveliest time for debts that I ever saw. Everybody that you are owing wants his pay, and you have no money to pay with." One great trouble seems to be a want of confi-dence. Men do not know whom to trust. If one has a demand against another he wants it paid; then, if he gets the money in hand, he does not know with whom to trust it. A short run was made not long ago upon the Rochester Savings Bank, the oldest and strongest institution of the kind in the city, but all demands were met so promptly that it soon subsided. Those who drew their money lost several thousand dollars by drawing before the interest of the month matured, and then they could not re-deposit it, because no other bank of the city would take it A little later, in the same bank, it was discovered that the paying teller was a defaulter in the sum of ten thousand dollars. Fast living and desire for speculation were the cause. The temperance movement in our town still holds the interest of the people in an unusual degree. Regular meetings are held fortnightly, at which we have addresses, music and charades, and the attendance is very large A slight fee is charged to pay expenses. Last evening was very unpropitions-dark, rainy and muddy, but over two hundred were in attendance. A course of literary and scientfice lectures has grown out of the movement, and these are so well attended as to require the full capacity of the largest church of the place. Four of the eight lectures of the course have been given. They have more than paid their way, and there is no lack of interest yet manifested. Several who were thought to be beyond hope of reform have abandoned their old habits and come unto the temper-ance ranks, and promise well for time to come. Our mild weather seems not altogether conducive to health, but as yet no prevailing or fatal disease has manifested itself. J. C.
