THE RANKS

LEXINGTON, OF. I3.-'The Farmers
and Mechanics Bank Of Springfield, Wash
ington county, and the Bank If Carlisle.
Nicholas county, have lately stopped
payment. TIE notes of these banks, as
well as those OF the various institutions
which failed a short time ago, are now
entirely uncurrent IN this place. An Opin-
ion prevails THAI proper efforts will not
b. made by the stockholders of these
broken banks 10 redeem their notes until
compelled by law. We hope this is not
true but II is said that The amour: of
their subscription having been refunded
by loan. they consider themselves exempt
from The obligation of paying The notes,
except where d grealer amount than the
original subscription has been borrowed
by a stakeholder. Accordingly such in
dividuals are required 10 contribute The
surplus part of their loans only-ihus
placing the capital stock, upon which the
banks went into operation, out of the
reach of those who hold the notes. The
next lcgislatureit is presumed will provide
a remedy.
We understand, that The Cumberland
Bank Of Huntsville is now redeemng its
notes with the Bank OF Kentucky notes
payable one yea, otter ddte. This expedi-
emf Was first resorted 10 by the Somerset
Bank, but il has not had the effect of
restoring its credit. Both these insiiiu-
tons are considered on par with the
broken banks, and their notes are no
longer passable here. [Repostr

THE SEASON.

LEXINGTON, (Ky.) Oct. l2.-Until
within few days the season, for some
weeks past, has been dry perhaps be-
yond parallel. The earth has been
completely parched, and the dust waa al
most iDtolerable. The small water cours-
es have entirely disappeared, aud some
even of the larger ones are hardly TO
be found. The Ohio river itself is in
some places easily iordabIe, and its bed
a the falls Is almost bare. la many pla-
ces III ihIs vicinity, great Inconvenience
and actual suffering have been expert
enced for the want Of "a sufficient supply
OF water. In some of the neighboring
towns, II could only be procured by
bringing il from a distance of several
miles, and so scarce has it been, that it
has been sold for several dollars a barrel
Even M Tins town, which is remarkable
Tor The abundance aud excellence of it's
water, some of The best wells have failed
and tie citizens have been consequently
pul to very great Inconvenience. On an
alarm OF fire "a few days since, the utmost
apprehension for the safety of the town
was felt IN consequence OF The want of the
usual means for exilnguIsling it.
On Friday night last, however, we
were refreshed with cOpiOus shower Of
rain, which, though not so abundant as
the uncommon dryness Of the season
appeared 10 require, has done much for
The health and comfort of The people.
Since that time tie weather, which had
been previously unusually warm, has
been cool and seasonable, and We have
every reason TO expect sutiicency of
rain to raise the streams and to afford
The usual supply of water.
We hope the change in tie temperature
OF the atmosphere has extended 10 the
eastern and southern cities and given
lasting aud final check TO the malignant
disorders, which have been so fatally pre-
valent there.
ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.
One day last week, we understand, an
attempt WAS made 10 rob gentleman
named Scott, near tie Kentucky river.
AS he was ascending the bank, after
having crossed AT Tie Shakers ferry, IIe
was acc0sied by negro man, who re-

the negro strack him vlolcnt blow with
stick, which brought him from his
horse aud would have precipiiated him
down the bank, distance of about tiny
teei, had he not been suddenly caught
by his asSailant. The noise Of a cart,
coming down the hill, now alarmed tie
negro, anu pulling watch frosi the pock-

nearly senseless, he Instantly made his

severely wounded, is on The recovery
