CosIIY Bed.

Quite an unpleasant feeling was excl.
ted among the bar.keepers Of one Of the
public houses in Ann street. New York,
in consequence of the sudden disappear
ance of two bills, Of FIVE dollars each,
which had. but short time before, been
placed in the drawer by the landlord.
The bills had most mysteriously dis
appeared, and those who had access to
the drawer knew Of no other conclusion
their employer could come to, than that
the money had been taken by one ofihem.
They diligently searched every place
where they thought it might possibly be.
but with No success. Again looking in
The drawer. a small piece Of bank bill
was seen to fail from The counter. over
the place from which the money had been
taken. A inore careful observation be-
ing made. a hole leading to the upper
pannels OF the counter was discovered.
The counter was then taken apart, when
few feet from the drawer, was found a
bed. made entirely of bank bills, in which
were nine mice. They were immedi-
ately despatched. and further search
produced S23 in bills. all of which were
more or less mutilated. The heads Of
bills. amounting to about $40, were found
in the bed. The anxiety of those who
felt that blame Of the disappearance Of
the money must have fallen upon them
selves, was greatly relieved by the discov-
cry. though the proprietor was some.
what aggrieved at the idea of having
supplied the mice with a more costly bed
than that used by himself.

EZI:t's Double

"1n one Of his critical humors, Peter
Jones observed that the two last verses
ofthe second book of Chronicles, aud the
two first verses of the following book of
Ezra, are precisely the same-a mere
repetition. He was disconserled by this,
and sought tor an explanation. The
most probable one is, that some copyist or
transcriber, discovering that he had pas
sed from the conclusion Of the second
book of Chronicles into the commence.
ment of Ezra, had stopped in his work,
made the requisite mark of distinction be-
tween the two bouks, without blotting
out what he had written, and recon.
menced his work. A comparison of the
passages satisfied Peter Jones that this
must have been the case. The book OF
Chronicles closes abruptly, in the very
middle of sentence, as if the copyist
had suddenly found out his error. and
had stopped; and then having drawn or
made his mark of distinction between
the two books, had commenced again.
For the second book of Chronicles closes
with the words, let him go up But in
the second verse of the first chapter of
Ezra, the repetition of the words shows
the signification-'let him go up to Jeru-
