Was bred by Mr. Henry Rentzell, of York
County, state of Pennsylvania; he is a dark

teen hands high, strong and well made, and
as a draught horse, is perhaps as handsome
as any horse in this state. Those wdio wish
to raise fine draught horses mav gratify them-

on to be taken at the Bank, between th«s ,
hours of ten and five, each day ; the subscrib-
ers to pay ten dollars s;irh stock b'.-Idur (as well,
upon the money by him regularly paid as up-
on the money ps id after default) shall be cal- "
dilated only from the time when said last in-
stalment was made good
The subscribed shares of the Farmer's
Bank having already riven above pnr. and be-
ing in greai demand, the directors deemed it
to be their duty to give evei-y facility In their
power to the citizens of every part of the
Western Shore, to become proprietors of a
Stocky to which experience has already at-
tached an high degree of confidence and am
enhanced value, and which from every ap-
pearance, would rapidly appreciate whenever
the subscription of the surplus shares should
remove the possibility of procuring the stock-
at a lower value, than the suceessfull man-
agement of the institution and the public opi-
nion should have conferred on it, notwithstand-
ing, therefore, that the chart** directed that
the subscription Books for this stock shall be
opened at Annapolis, yet the directors hold
themselves at liberty and have determined it
to be their duty, to devise means to'accommo-
date the citizens of the several counties, who
mig-ht wish to subscribe, but who cannot at-
tend at Annapolis j in conformity therefore,
to a determination that had already obtained,
at a joint meeting of the directors of the*
Bank and Branch Bank, on a similar occasin
on, the board have adopted the following rca»
solution :-
That the directors for the several counties
on the Western Shore, be authorised and di.
rected to receive in their respective countiess
from all persons who may oiler to subscribe*
for Stock in the Farmer's Bank, on the day,
or days appointed for subscribing, powers of
attorney, enabling some person to subscribe
for them at Annapolis, and also to receive
from persons so disposed to subscribe, the
sums which are made payable, on subscrip.
tions personally made, and all subscriptions,
made under powers as aforesaid, shall be
held and deemed ss viaid, as if made by
the individuals themselves at Annapolis.
By order,
