The Gazette's Old Farmer on His goings.-Will the editors of that journal give us all the facts and not content itself with the insinuation that Florence is redeemed at the "Bank" in coin? After that please tell us how much the difference ought to be between the "cat" here and at Florence. If Cook & Sargent can redeem in coin, then why can't they do it here at some figures.- How does it happen that. it goes shining about this town at 20 per ct. discount? Why do they let it? Why don't you talk about something being done here,and not 200 miles distant from where the shinplasters were made and paid out, Now these blinds and dodges won't do. This cat must be tamed If it is allowed to remain wild much longer it will be very likely to get skinned.
