There is evidently a new game about to be played by the wildcat institution of this vicinity. The owners of that defunct institution the Bank of Florence, for a few days past, are paying out to depositors and others having checks upon their Banking house, the totally unsecured and irredeemable issues of Burrows & Prettyman, 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 to the fact, and suggest to Messrs. Burrows & 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, that while Cook & Sargent do sell occasionally a little exchange and gold for Florence, they utterly refuse to sell on the checks of Burrows & Prettyman. As Burrows & Prettyman is redeemable in Florence, take it home often, and do not acquiesce in any dodges at this stage of the game.
