TO THE PUBLIC.

"AVING been DESTROYS of securing the
H public against losses by the Real Estate
Bank of this place, myself with the other di-
rectory of that bank, had an investigation
made as the necessary amount from each of
the stockholders. that would be required to re-
lieve the bank from its present embarrass-
ments, and upon full and fair investigation. it
was ascertained, and finally resolved by the
board of Directors, and the most of the stock
holders being present,
"That, if the stockholders of said
Bank would pay into the bank the amount Of
their individual Indebtedness, and forty per
cent. upon their stock it would relieve the
bank, and that any stakeholder doing so, should
be relieved and released from all further liabili-
ties for and on account of said bank

ness TO said bank, and have also paid forty
per cent. upon my stock, and the bank has re-
leased me from all liabilities for said bank. Hav-
ing therefore, acted in good faith towards the
public, hope the community viii not hold Us
any further responsible for the debts Of saiC
bank, until they have lost all hopes of collecting
them from those that are properly liable.

rCASH SYSTEM. ~

# will be preceived by reference to our edit
,-,lhead that we have adopted the cash system
n toto, which will be most strictly adhered TO,
kom the first day Of January next. We are
aware that some may think it ungencrous to
10 denied credit for so paltry consideration
,.a urnter's bill and that probably, nomin-
,nv. our receipts-we were going to say,
would not be so much--but they will be a
crsat deal more if we get.any thing at al. At
nssent our dues are scattered every where,
and probably cannot be punctua.ly paid when
no call for them, whilst the necessary expenses
If our establishment are heavy, and have to
he Maid weekly, nay daily, # we would keep
mder way. True, we might borrow if we
knew who to 90 to- but that can only be done
on terms to which we are unwilling to submit,
and Of people who view printers especially as
being none ofthe best pay, fact We can well
testify. To relieve ourself then, from a sus-
Dcion which is but to well founded, as well as
to avoid the odious practice of shinnying about
hesreets to raise funds TO discharge our cur
rent expenses, when we.have at the same time
asuperabuudance due US, is. our reason, and
We hope a sufficient one for adopting the pre-
sent course.
And should our friends or the public choose
TO patronize our establishment under such cir
cunstances we shall be thankful to them for il
II they do not, we can't help it. 1t viii be
the means of placing our office on a substantial
,fOdng, and render US able 70 do justice to
those who will.

The Time 10 Transplant Trees.--From an
article in the American Farmer, on this sub
ject, which is given below, we would once
more call public attention to the importance of
omamenting the city with such trees from
the neighboring forest, as are best calculated
to please the eye and protect the head from the
scorching rays of summer sun.
There are four months in the year in which
trees, shrubs, gras-, vines, &c. may be trans.
planted, and they viii generally succeed if the
business be well done, viz: October, Novem-
Der, April and May, but it is much the best to
attend to it early in the fall or spring. We
believe that most persons who think the spring
better time for transpIanting, than the fall,
come to that conclusion from their transplant
ing too late in the fall"

out his entire interest in the Real Estate
Banking Company Of this place. to the balance
of the then Stockholders thereof, and from that
time ceased to be partner of that company.

subscriber may also be liable, will under these
