                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


Administrative Committee
MPB Corporation Employees' Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available
for benefits of MPB Corporation Employees' Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes
in assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our
audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As permitted by 29 CFR 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, investment
assets held by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the trustee of the Plan,
and transactions in those assets were excluded from the scope of
our audit of the Plan's 1992 financial statements, except for
comparing the information provided by the trustee, which is
summarized in Note 4, with the related information included in
the financial statements.

Because of the significance of the information that we did not
audit, we are unable to, and do not, express an opinion on the
Plan's financial statement as of December 31, 1992, and for the
year then ended.  The form and content of the information
included in the 1992 financial statements, other than that
derived from the information certified by the trustee, have been
audited by us and, in our opinion, are presented in compliance
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.

In our opinion, the financial statements, referred to above, of
MPB Corporation Employees' Savings Plan as of December 31, 1993,
and for the year then ended present fairly, in all material
respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1993, and the changes in assets available for
benefits for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audit of the Plan's financial statements as of and for the
year ended December 31, 1993, was made for the purpose of forming
an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole.  The
supplemental schedules of assets held for investment as of
December 31, 1993 and transactions or series of transactions in
excess of 5% of current value of plan assets for the year ended
December 31, 1993, are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1993, and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
