CLOSE SHEARING.

We observe by a notice in the Duchess Observer,
that the faraers of Duchess county have been siori
of all their wool by most singular operaiion-or in
other words, that nearly all the wool of that comfy
had been sold to Isaac Butler, cashier OF the Lch-
field Bank, who had recently failed and assigned his
factory, wool, &c. 10 the Bank rs security for debts,
leaving the farmers 10 suffer
The story, as told by " one OF the shorn is briefly
tins: The Wolcoiivile Factory formerly belonged
to Mr. Woco,t, who failed being largely indebted TO
The Bunk. As the bank prohibited from buying and
selling property, their cashier Butler, became nomi-
naly the proprietor. I" The belief that James Bat
Ter acted in behalf of the bank UNIVERSAL that
he had obtained unlimited credit. The agents for
the factory have recently made large purchases of
wool, in the usual manner, upon the notes OF James
Butler. great proportion of the wool raised this
year in Duchess county has thus been purchased,
and carried over 10 Lchfed; and soon as the
same is well packed away, James Butter, the Cashier,
is discovered TO be defaulter TO the bank for some
$4,000 and he assigns his factory, and nl the stock
thus fairly and recently acquired, TO the Ltchheld
Bank. The bank is pad--ile farmer has a Litch-
field saening-and Jaaes Butler, the Cashier, is in
