We learn by the Painesville Telegraph of yesterday, that the 'Mormon Banking Company' is about making a new emission of their worthless trash, using old paper and signed by [Frederick G.] Williams and one [Warren] Par[r]ish, by the redemption of a few dollars of which they expect to get the old emission as well as the new, again into circulation."
