dated March 81, were seen posted in sew
eral places, announcing that certain law
yer Of the place. in NO wise remarkable for
hi. resources, was appointed agent for the
Wooster Bank and would redeem the notes
of that institution. As might have been
expected the Office Of the supposed agent
was thronged by a continuous crowd, for at
least two hours. The poor fellow, igno-
rant ofthe notice, was fairly roasted out.
His astonishment equalled his yexation,
and the chagrin Of the trapped visitants
was only exceeded BY his own. He only
escaped by clearing his Office, locking the
door, writing upon it--Brokem,-which
may have had reference either 10 the bank
or his own pockets, and clearing three
stairs at bound down into the, streets. He
then rushed distracted to q refectory, called
for a Rutherford, poured half of it down
his throat and the rest Of it in his bosom,
threw down Wooster one, and departed,
