ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS

On August 25, 1997, the Board of Directors agreed to (i) engage KPMG, Peat
Marwick LLP as the independent accountants for CNB Financial Corp. and (ii)
dismiss Price Waterhouse LLP as its independent accountants.

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, and the subsequent interim
period through August 25, 1997, (i) there were no disagreements with Price
Waterhouse LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if
not resolved to the satisfaction of Price Waterhouse LLP would have caused them
to make reference in connection with its report to the subject matter of the
disagreement, and (ii) Price Waterhouse LLP has not advised the registrant of
any reportable events as defined in paragraph (A) through (D) of Regulation S-K
Item 304(a)(l)(v).

The accountants' report of Price Waterhouse LLP on the consolidated financial
statements of CNB Financial Corp. and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended
December 31, 1996. 1995 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles. A letter from Price Waterhouse LLP is attached as 
Exhibit 16.

KPMG Peat Marwick LLP was not previously engaged regarding the application of
accounting principles on a specific transaction or the type of audit opinion
that might be rendered on the CNB Financial Corp. financial statements.
