IMPORTANT ADVICE To FARMERs.-Thr
New York Tribune, in a lop . article in r..
lation 20 the mistake which farmers
make in rushing their wool into market
after the present fashion, deprecates tie
custom. as it depresses the prices, com
psls the manufacturer and dealer TO &"
into the money market, and increase its
discount, and this in the end has to come
ont of his pocket If he will keep his
wool out of the market, says the Tribune,
till such time as il is wanted, he Will then
have all the advantage of the increased
demand. and can have that money In his
own pocket, which the money lenders
obtain. and that gain which spectators
make. If his wool is in good condition
he need have no fear but he will obtain
n fair price, and that a judicious dlscrm-
inotion will be made between the good
and bad. He may hc sure of thls-that
il will not be sunk 10 the level Of the bad
conditioned. He will find in this course
a better protective tariff thauany Legls-
lature can enact. Leave II 10 him VINO

Two Millions Of Bank Notes
Burme0.

At its last meeting the Board Of Control
Of the State Bank Of Ohio adopted rcsolu-
ton that no more notes should be delivered
to any Of the branches, and that all notes
Of the State Bank received by the branches
should be returned to the general Office to
be burned. To keep up q supply Of new
bills for thirty-six banks has always re-
quircd large amount Of several denomina-
tons to be prepared, and ready for delivery,
to take the place Of the worn out, defaced
and mutilatcd old bills. All this has been
burnt, as no longer needed. A committee
mot at tho office Of the Board, some ten
days ago, and carefully counted aud burnt
the whole amounting to nearly two millions
of dollars in sheets, and thus disposed oil
every dollar on hand. It is alike honorable
the officers, the President, Vice President
and Secretary, in whose hands this paper
was kept, and to the institution, Is showing
the careful manner in which its business is
transacted, that not one dollar Of discrepan-
cy Was found in any of the accounts; and
that couchsrs were produced to verify every
transaction. If the State Bank Of Ohio is
to close its existence, it will at least have an
honorable record. The accounts Of the Of.
ficers, above alluded to, embrace many mil.
lions.
