BANKING AND EXCHANGE.

         July 16, 1850, Hon. Wm. H. Tuthill issued his first draft, it being on New York. From that date he has continued in the banking business, but has of late years confined his attention to exchange and collecting business.

         In October, 1871, Charles Hammond and Capt. E. H. Pound established in the banking business. In November, 1873, Mr. Pound retired, and the business since that time has been transacted by Charles Hammond, aided by his efficient Cashier, Herbert Hammond. He is agent of the Inman Steamship Line.

         Each of the above named bankers has ample capital to supply the demands of this vicinity; are prepared to issue foreign bills of exchange, and transact a general banking and brokerage business.
