1t is a common remark that never has Ohio
enjoyed more substantial prosperity than during

Although we have at present but few banks in

the scarcity Of money. Tie currency now in
circulation is of the very hest kind, the State
being now happily rid of all the irresponsible

and downfall of banking corporations, witnessed
