From the National Recorder.

A good Story.--A few months ago, a
farmer living a few miles from Easton, Pa.
sent his daughter on horseback to that
town, to procure from the bank smaller
notes 10 exchange for one of one hundred
dollars. When she arrived there the bank
was shut, and she endeavoured to effect
her object by offering it at several stores,
but could not get her note changed. She
had not gone far on her return, when a
stranger rode up 10 the side OF her horse,
and accosted her with SO much politeness
that she had not the slightest suspicion Of
any evil Intention on his part. After a
ride of mile or two, employed 10 very
social conversation, they came TO Fetir-
ed part Of the road, when the gentleman
commanded her to give him the bank note
1t was with some difficulty that she could
be made to believe him 10 earnest, as his
demeanor had been SO very friendly; but
the presentation of pistol placed the
matter beyond doubt, and she yielded to
necessity; just as she held the note to
him sudden puff Of wind blew it into
the road, and carried ii gently several
yards from them. The discourteons knight
aIighted 10 overtake it, and the lady
whipped her horse 10 get out Of his power,
and the other horse which had been left
standing by her side, started off With her.

besides a quantity Of counterfeit bank
notes, fifteen hundred dollars in good
money! The horse was good one, and

be worth al least as much as the hank role
that was stolen.
