banks lose large sums. He was accustomed
to borrow large sums from these institutions
on the strength OF the goods in the warehouse
but when the banks, becoming alarmed,
sought to attach the contents OF the ware
houses they were found empty. This loose
method OF doing business is quite common
through New England and the West, but
fortunately stands no chance of introd uciion

why our alleged slow county offers no field

was that Thank sgiving day be named earlier,
to be more in conformity with the reaping OF
