for | got it out of bank myself, and if
you do the business for me | will give
you five dollars" The broker took the
note and proceeded towards Chestnut

must be wrong, as he was to receive
five dollars for walking but short dis
lance. He accordingly inquired of two
banks whether the note was genuine,
and being answered in the affirmative,
related the circumstances and was re-
commended to apply to the mayor. He
did so, and the mayor having received
private advicesirom the New York bank,
for prudently the New York papers had
not given publicity to the transaction,
