Local Matters.

"Thc issuing of shinplasfers has commenced in
some quarters, but should be denounced by every
good citizen. currency composed of these paper
tickets 10 an intolcrable nuisance, against which
every one should 'set his face flint All
claims, both of law and sound financial policy,
are opposed to them, and they should be avoided
as II they carried in their touch the plague of
leprosy."
We believe the sentiment expressed in the fore
going extract, from the New York Journal Of Com
merce, is fully appreciated in this community
Every man in our community who buys or sells
certainly realizes much inconvenience from the
want of small change; yet they are very few who
are willing to seek momentary relief by encoun-
tering the unknown sea of trouble to which q
small note currency would lead them. Thus far,
in each instance where such design has been pre-
msditated, sober second thought has overruled it,
and the public have been spared the infiiction.
May all others prove as wise
HoRsEs.--It often happens on market days that
wagon and other horses get loose from their fasten
ings, and give world Of trouble to the folks
around. The owners, in such cases, should be
made to suffer. few days ago poor lit
tie girl troddcn upon by one of these animals, and
very much frightened and somewhat hurt In another
instance the scene some what comical. The horse
was little white fellow, and was harncssed to a
wagon, in suit of gearing entirely too loose for him.
After laboringst disadvantage in this fix for some
tme he resolved to rebel, and with few kicks and
jumps soon succeeded in getting out Of the shafts
when he forthwith turned his face to the vehicle,
slipped of his whole suit and with lively name, and
elevated ears and tail, broke through the crowd in
delighted manner, Weighed aloud, and presenting
the glitering shoes of his hind feeto all pursuers
This was all very funny while it lasted, but there
were some people around who thought such things
should be prevented.

The large sales of Erie Railroad Bonds (S3,5O0,-
000) show confidence in that Glaze Of securities,
and that money 10 still very abundant The failure
Of Messrs. Austen and spicer for nearly $4,000 900
will probably cause want Of confidence on III,
part of capitalists who are in the habit Of buying
business paper. 1t is reported that several New
York State Banks have failed, but "biIl holders''
should not sacrifice the notes, as they secured
by public stocks. Land warrants under the new
law not being made anignablc by Congress, has
caused the Mexican warrants to advance.
