"Ip March last the Legislature ordered the de
strlctOn Of the plates and notes OF certain broken
banks The notes had been accumuatlng for years,
and were collected IN packages al Je treasury Dt-
partmoGt. The plates had not been collected now
ever but have been partly since and were OF those OF
the Watoryllct Bank OF Buffalo. Commercial Bank OF
Buffalo. Bank of the City OF New ork Bank 81 Ly-
ons Clinton County Rink and Wayne ditto. Those
Of the Bank OF Lockpor City Bank Of Buffalo and Ia
Fayctte Bank of Newly ork have not vet been found
II was at first determined 10 destroy the notes by
placing them ina large strongly heated stove, but TINS
was found 80 bee q very tedious operation the notes
were so closely packed as to prevent the fire pcne-
iratng between them. Next common straw cutter
was used which did the business rapidly. the
cuttings were then burned St 1t was a slow work
and the destruction OF the notes occupied five days
and half The destruction of the plates was still
more difficult task especially the steel ones, Which,
could not be broken INTO pieces with hammers.
Neither could files cfeciually erase tho cngravngS
and the steel plates were heated and hammered al
blacksmith'S forge, until destroyed The cOpperOnes
Ncre melted and sold Thrly-tWO plates were thus
DESTROYED and $l.5S0,4i5 IN broken bank notes
$jOO.0OO Of which belonged To the Buffalo banks. II
these old notes had tongues, what tales they could
tell.
