ToMBIGBY BASE.-From an advertisement in to- ,
days paper, il viii be seen that the directory of this
bank have determined TO resume tho payment Of
specie on the Srd of October next. This deternin-
alton is highly credable to the hoard, and viii be
hailed by the community n bright omen Of better
times. The Bank is said TO be in a very sound con-
don, having specie basis fully adequate to meet
all the demands that may be made against it. The
last Argus says that it has information derived from
unquestionabe sources that the Bank has re-
deemed $4,000 its circulation within the last
five months, and that not solitary draft drawn on
the north has been protested" The Bank Com
missoners report of 1885 shows that the Bank had
in possession SllG,6O7 in specie, mot 100000 as
stated by the Argus) This, we believe, is much
larger proportion Of the precious metals than IS held
| by any bank in the State.
Nov, if the directory will set about in good earn
est to build bridge across the Tomblgby and con-
slruct their raI road the great objects for which |
the bank was created. they will fulfil all their obliga
tons TO the public s raise the institution TO thahigh
