EATING THROUGH A Bill OF FARE
1t 10 not often that the miracle is pre-
sented of mortal eating an entire bill
Of fare. Now and then, however, such
rarity does turn up. Such an one has
jus occurred.
The scene of ele wholesale consump-
ton took place at a hotel in Hanover
street, not thousand miles from the
head Of Elm street. A man from Down
East" sat down TO dinner on Wedncst
day last. aud taking the bill OF fare, ac-
tnally consumed the following amoun-
OF food eating from the top TO the bot
tom of the bill and we should imagine
from the top to the bottom OF the ta-
Bile: -
/. Two plates corned beefand cabbage.
2. Two large sized oyster pies.
3. Two large plates tried smelts.
: One dish OF boiled lobster.
5. One very large plate ol roast beef.
6. Two do. veal.
7. Three do. turkey.
s. One whole mince pie.
8. Two cranberry pies.
10. One plate suct pudding.
/. Six Apples.
II. One dish each OF nuts and raisins.
Is. And then rs II in fear Of starvation,
the monster went back TO roast turkey
consuming two more plates. And what
puts point and Lie to the whole is-he
found iaul, bccause IN re was scarcity
OF pies, after having ent three whole
ones. On'settIing up his bill for eating
up the hotel, the consumer thought
81 l-2 cts. "alI fired high " thouen he
had eaten within fraction Of si0 worth
We hope he does no' ea, often away.

coin will he ready for issue by the lst oi

he explained as follows The original
bili tor this coinage, prepared before
the postage bill was initiated, contained
another provision by which the worn
out Spanish money, which clrculates
largely among us and which Ia every
where regarded ~ u nuisance, should
be drawn into the mint and worked up.
But in order to effect that, it WIS ne
crssary 10 provide means for buying
them ut their nominal value, or not
much below il; otherwise the people
could not be expected to make the sac
ri6cc-,hose coins being really worth
ten or twelve per cent. less their current
value by reason OF wear.
The reduction Of fneness from nine
tenths 10 three-iou.lhs in the three cent
pieres, WAS therefore intended TO enable
Government 10 call in the hIs, lcvies,
and quarte.s. as also to pay expenses oi
transportation, insurance, &c.
But in ge,uug up the new postage
las, the trainers took one leg OF that
coinage bl l-namcly, the issue OF the
three cent coin as auxiliary 10 their
project-and left out or overlooked the
other, which contained the only ground
or reason for aIloying the coin more
largely than the other silver. Ii is not
loo late, however. to remedy this defect.
Congress could hardly benefit the coun-
try al large more etfcctually than by
taking the subject ia hand tor although
iheSe little coins may seem 10 be lille
matters in themselves, they are Of all
things the most diliuslve, rs they come
into every body's hands, aud are inces-

thorizcd the mint TO Withhold the issue
until there shall be an accumulation OF
half u million pieces 10 start with. They
will no doubt be- ready by the beginning
of May, as the coinage has commenced.
They are 10 be Iaid out, in order Of
application, in sums Of from thirty to
one hundred and fifty doIlars-that is
one thousand to five thousand pieces
and will be exchanged for American
gold or silver coins, or foreign silver

THE SEA GIVING UP IRIS TREAsURrs.-

THE SEA GIVING UP IRIS TREAsURrs.-
The Plymouth Memorial SAYS:
During the ga Of last week guam
tity OF Iinseed oil came ashore in the
breakers, at Mancment point. The oil
was in iorty-gallon casks, fourteen Of
which were rolled upon the shore in
safety, but several casks we're burst by
being dashed against the rocks. The
casks that we're saved contained about
thirty gallons Of oil each which proved
to be in good condition. The condition
Of the casks was such as to render IL
certain ,ha, they had been in the water
great while perhaps many years
The outer surface of the casks was
considerably decayed, and there were
four ridges Of ron rust on each, which
were the only remnants Of what were
once iron hoops. The casks were COW
cred with barnaclcs."
The Boston Advertiser thinks The a
bove came from the brig Hollander, Of
Boston, from Rotterdam, which wa
eapsized and sunk in Massachusetts
bay about ten years since. The break
ing up Of the vessel, which was haslened
by the gale, probably dlsrngagrd the
cas.s from The hold, and being lighter
than water, they rose to the surface.
