weeks since contained very sensible and
we'll timed article upon the evils arising from
he circulation of unfounded rumors, affecting
he sovcncy of Business Houses in Burling-
on 1t was scarcely necessary to assure the
public that such Houses as j. q j. H. Peck &
Co.,were among the most stable and indcpcn-
lent firms in the State of ' crmont, and that
the rumors of their having made assignments,
however extensively circulated, could not af
feet their credit in any business circle. But
the evils Of circulating such ISLANDERS, fall heav
ilv on weaker firms and those evil Y estab
li>hcd in business. by destroying that conf
dcnce so essential to the prosperity of the
whole business community.
We have been led to allude to the article
in the Free Press, from learning that similar
rumors have been for some time in circula-
ton concerning several business firms in this
place Probably there is no village or town
in the State, where the principal business
Houses are established upon tirmcr basis
than i'll tins viilagc-and the report of the
failure of such firms as Messrs. +. Jcwett x
Co..must have had its origin in pure malirc or
GORGEOUS ignorance. We have reason To be-
Iievc that no single bill OF theirs in Boston,
during the extreme pressure in the money
market, has been sutit rcd to run past its ma
turtv. Probably no country merchants have
a better reputation in Boston, for promptness
in payment. and now are in situation to pur-
chase goods on more favorable terms
The same, We have reason to believe, is
true of the ether mercantile establishments in
this plac who may no, have been juH,d bv ru-
NOR halt a dozen times in as many weeks.
1t must have required no little advcntur-
BUSINESS to originate similar report of oul
townsmcn, Me>srs. T.. & f. Fairbanks & Co..
