Parallel Cnse.-rhe condition efthings there
from the low state Of the Upper Mississippi

the distress caused on the circulation of the
currency by government experiments. The
farmers cnnno, come down to purchase at st.

FAMILY MgErro.-lt is an interesting
occasion when all the members OF nurrrer-
Gus family nrc assembled after many years
Of separation. Such All assembnge was wit
messed at Salisbury, Conn. on Saturday, the
2lst September. The family Of the late John
Whitlessey Esq. of Salisbury, consisting of
six brothers and one sister. met at the dwell.
ling of one of their number, surrounded by
n widely extended circle Of children, and
other relatives. The eldest is seventy-three
years of age, and the youngest fiity-six, and
the average Of their ages is above sixty four
years. A most remarkable fact connected
with the history Of the family is, that for n
period of more than sixty years, no death has
occurred to break the family circle. 1t is
doubted whether another instance can be
found in New England Of 30 large family
in which death has not entered for that Pc
rod of time.

both Houses being present, Hon. Henry

appointment of a committee of two from

ne IollOWlng communication was
handed US by highly respectable gen.
tIeman Of this place, for many years
conversant with Banking and Currency.
The idpAs advanced by the writer,
though perhaps not altogether new, may
be found useiu! at the present time, and
as the Legislature of the State is now
in session, we invite the members of
that body to careful consideration Of
the subject.
81 am strongly impressed by the exi-
gcncies of the time, as well as by pre-
vious convictions of experience, that
the time has come when the Assembly
ought to improve the Banking system
of the State by enacting law, that
should make the $50 ca led) Suffolk
Bank SYSTEM" obligatory on all the
Banks in the State.--Circumstances ces
growing out Of the conduct of the Banks
first suggested the necessity Of the plan,
to sagacious men in Boston, prompted
too by their particular interest. .--Ex-
periencc has shown that it is the best
guarantee for the sound condition of the
Banks, because it is every week known
to the Bank of Exchange, whether
those who keep their accounts there are
able to redeem.-The jealousy amongst
Banks is one cause why it is not the
general systcm-perhaps in a few in
stances, the temptation for over Bank
ing is another,-as this plan is con-
stant check on such cupidity. Now
some few adopt the system, convinced
of its public utility, while others reject
it for the reasons referred to.--This
makes difference Of value in the paper
of the Banks of this little State, and
gives advantages to those who reject
the arrangement" so called) over
those who adopt it.
Legislation might, think, easily,
now that long experience has tested the
plan, so shape it, as to make il accep-
table to all, and confer a permanent
soundness on the Bank paper of Rhode
Island, which il does not now possess
1t is well known to all men now con-
GcTuCu III tuC CbUuVCt vi DuIlhS, tHtt
Spocic-paying times, no money of any
consequence is paid at their counters,
by those who redeem at the Merchants
or Suffolk Bank, k,-and that in fact,
their money, under this arrangement,
would be kept as sound when Specie
payments are suspended, as before, and
this is the essence Of the argument for
its adoption.-It is said by many who
oppose it, "why should we contribute
like vassals to the emolument Of the
Suffolk and Merchants Bank they have
no more right to rule over us, than we
over them" Legislation, by creating
new Bank ,--ofiice of ofaccountahility, -
Exchange Office, or what you please
and if you please, under supervision of
the Bank Commissioners, takes away
the supposed tyranny and il would,
also, of course appeal to the interests
Of all by making the profit (if any, the
common proportionatc right Of all, or
the eypcnce to be contributed in the
same just manner"

few weeks will fill their hair, particularly
about the breast end legs, with great
numbers of its nits. Whenever the horse
itches in any part, he applies his teeth for
the purpose ofscratching. In dong this he
loosens some of these nits, and they are
received into his mouth, whence they pass
with his food into the stomach, and from
these the Bot is produced. Experiments
put this matter out of doubt.
To Kill Bots in horse. pour quart OF
rum down his throat. This will make
them loose their hold ofthe nav, and they
will be carried off with its contents. Repeat
the dose as often as may be found neces-
sary. A few doses of linseed oil, a pint
each time, will also quickly effect cure.
/ Another effectual remedy, I'VE have seen
recommended, is to take spoonful Of un-
Stacked lime, at time, and mix it with the
food ofthe horse, morning and evening, for
three or four days, which will completely
cxpel these insects. Philadelphia Herald.
