"Some years ago, (said he,) was
travelling over these mountains on horse

The landlord wac extremely obsequious
in attending to my coafort, and. after

bottles stood on the table end, and he
was acquainted with all my business.

course ofmy conversation, that had a
very large sum OF money In my valisc

"You killed him did you!" shrieked the
Spnniard, almost jumping from his seat.
"Silence! till have finished it," said
the stranger, and again he touched the

We have Tor some days been intend
ing 10 direct attention 10 this concern,
but the following article. which we copy
from the Cincinnati Price Current, rem
ders anything more unnecessary. The
matter will doubtless command lheear-
ly attention Of the Legislature, and in
the meantime the public would do well
TO refuse to receive any Of the small
notes Of this bank. There is no sccu.
rity whatever for their redemption. aud
there is no telling at what momentthey
may become worthless.
The above, from the Louisville Cour-

something serious. "Owners and bid
