WHEAT.-The BrookviIle American very justly
complains of individuals, who, to deceive the farmers
for their gain advertise high prices for wheat
and when they thus induce farmers to bring In a
plentiful supply, refuse to pay a certain amount
generally less than is paid at other places Such
conduct is not only reprehensble, but injurious to
such Shylocks themselves, and tending to inure the
credit Of honest merchants and ruin the character OF
the place. Such men should be publicly exposed and
all dealings with them avoided.

BANK OF ST.. ChAIR.-It was rumorcd in town yes
terday and there appears to be good grounds for the
rumor, that all the books paper and specie % which
amounted to only about $1,000 according to old Jesses
statement belonging to the Bank of St. Clair, have
been removed to her majesty's dominons II appears
that after it had been known injunction had been
procured, the books &C., were packed up and ia
ken the river to prevent the law from taking
its course and the creditors of the bank from securing
their rights. 1t seems to that this is rather a
high handed proceeding. This rag machine, not sat
isfe6 with swindng the people out of some two hun
dred thousand dollars, attempts to place at def
ance the law. This act of the managers of the bank
satisfies us that the bill filed against them contains
charges that they fear will be sustained Thefe is
something rotten in Denmark" depend upon 1t, or the
managers would never have resored to this measure
and hope if there is any law by which the Regu-
lator" Of this institution be reached it will be
put in force.-Detroit Free Press.
