Town application for a post in the Amy.
Congress had just passed the act for raising
a Regiment Of Dragons, when young May
who was wearied Of tho idle life Of young
gentleman in Washington, resolved TO ask
/ President Jackson, for an appointment in the
same, and went boldly in persont to the Old
Hero and rendered his services. The Cen

of the new companies Of Dragons. The
old General remarked, "the Army needed
such men, The sagacity Of Jackson in

has been made by this destructive insect in
that county" ."--Shield and Banner.

Mexico, one seaport on the Pacific, in
Upper California, the other an inland town
at the distance Of 100 miles from Matamoras.
1t is a. the latter Monterey that Gen. Taylor

LOOK OUT IN TIME--The following from
Charles & Sons Bank note Detector" of
New York, not only shows the uncertainty of
a paper circulation, but proves what has been
Predicted within the last few months, that
the Bank of Wooster must soon follow the
footsteps of its illustrious predecessors, the
Gallipolis, Hamilton and ST. Clair Banks long
since defunct. We have no more more CON
fdence in "paper currency" thdnin ghosts
or the honesty offederal principles. A Bank
which has four times more paper in circula-
ton than it has specie to redeem cannot in
sure the people against loss. Such is the
state of affairs with this Bank, therefore we
caution the people to be on their guard lest
they be deceived by the managers and
friends of this, swindling shop:
BANK OF WOOSTER, OHIo.--The agents
of this concern, Messrs. Lake g. Co. have
for some time past been advertising to re-
deem the bills at to4a per cent We were
surprised to find, therefore, that they refused
to redeem those taken at our counter 10 day,
at less than 8. We have no particular
faith in the stability of this bank--in fact,
do not consider it as good as other Ohio
money; and have therefore raised the quo
tation TO "a per cent--People's Forum.
