There is evidently n new game about
to he, by the wildcat institution OF
this vicinity.
The owners of that defunct institu-
ton the Bank of Florence, for a lev
days past, are paying out to depos'tor'
and others having checks upon their
Banking house, the totally unsecured
and irredeemable issues Of Burrows d
Prcttyma = instead of their own. We
don't venture to inquire whether the
one kind Of stuff is better than the
other but we cannot fail TO call the
particular attention of the people 10 the
fact, and suggest to Messrs. Burrows q
Prettyman the inquiry whether they
are not about to be sacrificed in order
to keep up the Florence plaster a little
while longer.
We do not state it as a fact, but We
have heard it said, hat while Cook d.
do sell occasionally a little exchange
and gold for Florence, they utterly re-
fuse to sell on the checks of Burrows
d Prcttyman. As Burrows Il Pretty
man is ~redeemable in Florence, take it
home often, and do not acquicsce in
any doages at this stage of the game.

Small 6htnplasters.

The merchants of this city have been
sndIing pitch and their fingers have
scome deiled. They allowed the is
Iers of fractional" to scatter their
asters throughout the city, and keep
lc silver to send east, thus saving
ON Is to 20 per cent. TIE result, Of
purse, is, that there is no silver left
ere, and when the merchants under
pok to reject the "fractionals,' they
i~scOver that it is too late, that they
ave been sold.
Precisely the same thing is the fact,
18th regard to large shinplastcrs.
hey have taken the bills of the Bank
II Florence, in good faith, relying upon
be promises Of Cook ~ Sargent, and
iscover, too late the value Of these
romises, and that all money has left
. for the east and there Is nothing
,ere but the paper promises of the
uspended wildcat. This proceeding,
IN the part of the people, has produced
+, trOublous financial diseasc-that dis
,ase is progressing day by day every
nan sees it and knows that 1t will re-
luire An active medicine to effect a
cure. Medicines arc generally unplcas-
int to take, and that required in this
Ease, is ~disagreeable, but it must be

We had better wait until the disease is
incurable, or take it now. We have
no doubt about the matter ourselves,

we'll aware.
