Vila's National Bank of Plattsburg, N. Y., is also closely connected with the St. Albans bank. PROVISION DEALERS EMBARRASSED. BALTIMORE, April 8.-T. Robert Jenkins & Sons, provision dealers, went to protest last night, and their suspension was announced to-day. No assignment has been made, and there will be a meeting of creditors on Monday next.

CHICAGO, April 8.-A special from Monmouth, Ills., says: "The First National Bank closed its doors this morning. The cause assigned is speculation by Cashier B. T. O. Hubbard, whose deficit is estimated at from $45,000 to $100,000. The bank is expected to resume in a day or two, as the stockholders, who are all moneyed men, are liable." PREFERENCES OF $35,000.
