BANK OF WINDsoR--The bills Ell
this concern are now selling In this yicin- (
ity at fifty cents on the dollar. This no. !
tee is given that people who may have
them IN their possession may avail them |
selves of the opportunity afforded them by

present price, and who hold on to them in
the expectation Of getting more, will be-
fore long ser, occasion TO regret having
