In this affair, the Judge took the start Of
the agent Of the Bank Of Michicania, who had
subscribed for the majority Of the stock Of the
Bank Of Shakerag, but the Judge stepping in,
and employing those talents with which the
reader is acquainted, he succeeded, with the
assistance Of Jenny Tightfst, John O. Pin
GERS. and others of the Commissioners, to set
aside the arrangements. and to secure the prey
for the Bank Of Wisconia, at Elesieum Bay.
With the Judge, were associated in the
manage ment Of the Shakerag Bank, Messrs.
JENNY Tightfst, John o. Pincers, and Eben-

community no doubt will profit greatly by their
deliberations, yetit would rather sacrifice the
] benefit, than attain it, by the expense Of theil
very valuable lives.
j Theinstitution not having permanent bank
/ ling house. the business is done flying, dis
counting at various points, and from its regu-
lar and systematic arrangement, appears &c
beat the Methodist system of itinerancy, al
hollow.
One Of the Directors being appointed Cash
