CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.

Wednesday last, us s was belonging to the Vic-
tualling Office, Chatham, was walking along with
a 101. Racneater bank note in his hand, for which
he war going to proeure change, a young goat, be-
longing to the Agent Victualler, which approached
unperceived, made a sudden spring at the unte,
ran oil with it in her mouth, and devoured it in an
Ousting. The man, alarmed at the lows he feared
he should sustain, stood looking at the goat, in in-.
dent apprehension, till he saw her trap upon • cask,
iiint lie quietly dawn to chew the cud. The geatk-
man to whom' the note belong..d was made ac-
quainted with the circumstance, communicated
it to the agent, roil asked permission to ad-
minister some oil, which he expected would cause
the animal to disgorge the valuable morsel, she
hail so unexpectedly masticated and swallowed.
The propositiou was rejected by the agent us
useless, but he instantly adopted a more efficient
mode of conduct, by immediately sendiug for a
butcher, and causing the unfortunate goat to be
slaughtered ; at the same time giving particular di.
rections that tio part of the contents of the stomach
should be thrown away, without being very narrow..
ly eetretted. The stomach of rheum:tat was earn
fully taken out and examined, but not the smallest
particle of paper was obi...liable, although not
snore than a quarter of an hour had deleted after it
hail been eaten by the goat. The search was about
to be given up, when a man, who had been picking
amongst the half-digested food, with a sharp-punn-
ed instrument, at last drew out what be thought
was a very small piece of paper; it was rolled ex.
tsensele close, an,/ was out thicker than very thin
t
paestoreau : on putting it into water, and moving
,g about, it at last unfolded, and proved td be a
• pout of the note, about the size of a sixpt nce ; fur-
ther produced a few more pieces, which were
.infolded iii the nine trimmer, and nem placed on
piece of paper ; all that could be discovered,
however, dal not amount to a fourth part of the
' note. 'the pieces were presented to :Vlessrs. Day
and Cm to whom the circumstances were related,
and they very handsomely paid the value, to the
great joy of the poor fellow from whom the note
had been taken.

The Jeas,—, of Leith, was captured bttweea
