not wish to leave. lie wished to fulfill the du-
1ies Of the trust confided to him.
IL was then offered to Mr.. BArrs Of Missouri,

For some months there has been a
savage warfare wagrd bv the Cincinnati.
and Ohio Banks, against the Indiana
Banks. Scarcely week passes that we
do not see the announcement in our ex-
changes in this State. that some agent Of
the Cincinnati Banks. has drawn S25 900,
or S50.OOO in specie from the Lafayette.
South Bend, Fort Wayne. or some other
Rranch Of our Bank. The why or where
fore of this is not easily defined. II the
merchants and Bankers of Cincinnati de-
sire to insult our citizens and drive our
trade from that city. they can continue
their il!bcral course. Our Banks can
stand any run upon them. but the lliber.
ality Of the matter is getting up our blood
1t will be seen our State Bank, at its
late Session, after a long continued inn
position. has made a declaration Of war,
offensive and defensive And it is now
the duty of every merchant of Indiana to
come up TO the assistance of the Bank

The following are some Of the resolutions
passed at a session OF the Board of Directors at

"Resolved, That the Ohio Life insurance and
Trust Company IN assuming the Agency of the
Associated Banks of Ohio ana Wheeling, occu-
pies a hostile position in regard to the State Bank
of Indiana, and on this account il shall be the
aiaty of the Branches Of this Bank having depos-
s'es in that Company TO Withdraw such deposites
within the next thirty days. and, as DON as prac-
ucaoi. TO sever all connections with her which
- not necessary for the convenience of their
customers.
Resolved. That the counters of the r.s,ect-
ave branches are the only proper, as they are the
only legal places for the redemption of their
notes. and that in such redemp p,ion from the Ohio
Agency, or any hostile Institutions specie and
ao,hing else, should be paid.
"Resoivcd. That any arrangement, perm,-
nent or temporary, by which any Of the Branch.
- oi th's Bank redeem. or agree to redeem their
notes at the Ohio Agency with Exchange, is in.
CONSISTENT with the dignity of the Bank, and
tends TO making her tributary to Cincinnati and
her Banking Institutions.
Resolved, That long as the Ohio A,sr.v
continues its present operations. the Brapch.. os
sh's Bank should. as far as practicable, replensh
he'r vaults by specie, to be- obtained at Cincip

The Largest Grapevine in the
United States.

nder this heading late number OF
the \atchez Free Trader, has the follow
ing paragraph:
Mr.. William Casey, corner of Union
and State streets. in the city of Natchez,
can boast Of grape vine which is un-
doubty the monarch ofthc United States.
1t rises from the ground in a single trunk
of some three inches in diameter. nearly
straight and well proportioned. to the
height OF about nine feet. when il spreads
INTO branches. and covers and embowcrs
the trellls work of quite a large garden.
besides climbing tall tree. The weight
OF the immense clusters of grapes hang
ing upon it now about half grown, is esii-
mated at a ton. To stretch out any one
OF the branches in direct line, they
would measure from three to four hundred
feet. The description Of the grape is not
natural TO the country, but was broug Int to
\a'chez in the old Spanish times. 1t is
called the Jack grape from spanish
Jack. the nick name of the Spaniard
who planted ii.-Sone years ago, Madame
BinSaman, now dead. offered Mr.. Casey
five hundred dollars if he would remove
the vine safely to her garden in the enyi-
Gus OF the city; but no sum OF money
whatever, would induce the owner to part
with it. 1t produces wine which has
the taste Of Hook.

The following is from the London Spec
vice now that the use OF lime water has
been found to be SO productive of cholera.
Is Pure Water Fit for Drink!

To he Editor Of the Spectator:
SIR:-Your correspondent. a Water
Drinker." must be very ignorant Of the
laws of the animal economy. if he sup
poses that water impregnated with lime is
useful for the preservation Of health. On
the contrary. the presence Of this ingre-
dent. (alas. SO common.) is the fruitful
source Of dyspepsia, with all its horrors;
of constipation, Of ohstruc;ed kidneys.
and OF various other silments too well
known TO us medical men. On the con-
trary. pure water, g. e.. filtered rain
water.) is one of the finest solrents in
nature: and hail with pleasure the sug
geston Of the Board of Health for the
supply of the metropolis with pure water.
All England knows the repute ofihe Nal
vern water; and its value consists in IT'S
purity. scarcely a trace of saline or earthy
ingredients being found in it: the absence
OF limestone in that locality allowing the
water OF the district to filter through the
gravel and sand, and thus returning. to
give health to the valetudinarian. As TO
the presence of lime in water being ne
cessary for the preservation of our bones
Your correspondent need not fear that his
osseous fabric will become enfeebled by
drinking pure water. since many articles
OF diet contain phosphate of lime.

WeaninS Notwithstanding corn
with Sheep.

The first or middle Of August is the
proper time to take lambs from the ewes.
Lambs weaned then will do better than to
let them run with their dams until later in
the Fall. The pastures are yet soft and
better suited to their wants as substitute
for milk. and by making the change early
they become better accustomed to feed.
and will winter better than when left with
the ewes until late. 1t is also much better
for the ewes. as many become reduced in
the Summer by raising lamb. 1t gives
them time to regain their strength before
the season arrives when they are to be
turned to the bucks.

best pasture for sheep, but Of decided ad-
vantage to the corn. In the latter part of

If the corn is of large growth they viii
do no harm whatever to the ears or stalks:
only picking of, occasionally few leaves
below, that are in the process Of decay at
this season.
And for lambs. especially. it is the best
pasture. They may be left until they have
thoroughly eradcated the weeds and grass:
