SURRENDERED.-We learn by the Jeffersonian that the First National Bank of Brookville has quit business and surrendered its charter. Note holders are requested to send in their notes within the next sixty days and have them replaced with other currency. Exactly what reasons are assigned for this act we are unable to say ; but of one thing we are certain, it was not compelled to adopt this course by the late panie. This bank has always been a safe institution, and at no time was there any danger of its having to close.
