The FAILURES; which have recently taken
place have SO shaken the confidence of the
community, that credit has become more
scarce than cash itself The storm which has
been Tor some time gathering, has at length

seVerest part of it has passed over. The manu-
iacturlng interests of this town will not be ma
terially injured by the effects of the times
The " hard times are PURIFIERS, to restore us
to better and more wholesome business. 1t
Is probable that for some time to come, the
profits of business must be small traders and

A QUANDARY. Early this morning
well dressed young man was seen Keeling
in Broadway, under she effect, probably,
of a nights debauch. Al a little distance
he was taken for negro hut on a nearer
approach, it was evident that his shining
black complexion was only the effect of
beautiful coat of oil-paint, which some friend
had laid on, perhaps as preventive against
the evening air. The fellow had plenty of
business; for he was evidently DESTROYS of
wiping off the paint, and also of keeping on
his feet; but to effect the latter, the balanc-
ing power of both hands was necessary.
We would suggest the expediency of paint
ing all drunkards black-as it would save
them the modification of carrying about
red face, and add much to the respectable
ty Of the white population.

The editor of the Boston Courier has emu
merated considerable list of Banks which, in
his opinion, are situated where there is no &C.
casion for such institutions. In regard to some
OF them, we should agree with him in opinion,
but of others we have no doubt that the bust
ness, and the money transactions in the vicini-
ty, are many fold greater than the editor of the
Courier is aware of, and are so extensive as not
only to warrant, but to require, the facility
afforded by such an institution, as much, al
most, as any place in the country. In one of
the towns alluded to, the amount received,
weekly, for the proceeds of manufactured arti-
Giles is large, the business is done by consd-
cradle number of houses, and with almost eve
ry town of consequence in the various sections
of the Union; and the remittances are gener-
ally of that kind which makes the facility of a
banking institution desirable. A similar state
Of things prevails to a considerable extent in the
vicinity of some of the other banks named in
the Courier. We have thought these remarks
proper in order to prevent the erroneous inn
pressions which we believe the remarks of the
Courier are calculated to give-the more es-
pecially as the remarks have been elected by
an article in the Spy of last week.

WORCESTER:
WEDNESDAY, JUNE "a, 1920.

The Lancaster Gazette of last week speaks
of the editor of this paper, as being " manifest
y inimical to the project for the extension of
the Blackstone Canal to Fitchburg. The edi-
tor has not informed us, however, by what pro-
cess OF reasoning he has arrived at such con-
clusion-a conclusion for which we have never
given any just cause, and which cannot fairly
be drawn from any thing we have ever said or
written. On the contrary, those who have had
an opportunity to know our views, will do us
the justice to say, that, at all times, when we
have had occasion to speak of the work, it has
been in favorable terms.
We do not see how the charge of hostility
could be grounded on the article in the Spy of
the 10th inst, which is the subject of the COM
ments in the Gazette. The object of that ar
ticle was, to supply information which was dali
ly inquired for, of the probable expense of the
continuation of the proposed extension of the
canal, from the point where the recent survey
terminated, to its intersection with the Black
stone Canal, and, by annexing it to the estimate
founded upon that survey, to present the whole
at single view, to our readers. We know not
why this should indicate hostility in us, any
more than the publication of the estimate of
the Engineer, should be evidence of the same
thing in the editor of the Gazette: We grant
that it would have been, had our estimate been
unreasonably high, but we have heard no init
nation that it was, and we believe that the ed
itor of the Gazette, if he will possess himself of
all the facts within our knowledge, will be sat
isfed that it is not overrated. Whether it is
or not, it was honestly made, from the best
sources of information within our reach and,
although no great degree of accuracy was, or
is, claimed for it, we still believe that it will be
found as fair an approximation to it, as could
be expected under existing circumstances.
We are, and always have been, the friends of
internal improvements, wherever they can be
effected by an expenditure, which would, by
the enhancement of the value of property, yield
an adequate equivalent for the necessary in
vestment. Those who have taken the lead in
the project under notice, are entitled to much
praise for the zeal and the public spirit which
they have manifested in promoting the object,
and, we trust that the day is not far distant,
when their hopes may be realized in witnessing
the accomplishment of some plan of intercom-
munication, which shall develope the resources,
and give renewed life and activity to the bust
ness, of that beautiful and interesting section of
our county.
In conclusion, we would add, that we believe
that the injustice done us by the editor of the
Gazette, has arisen from mistaken impressions
on his part, occasioned by thesardor of his feel
ings, and consequently unintcr" onal, nor could
we, for moment, believe that he was infu-
enced by the selfish motives, which some, who
are less acquainted with his Character for lib
erality and fairness than we are, have attrihut-
cd to him.
