H Some enterprising news,boys,
burrowing in the old building on the
southeast corner of Nassau and Beck
man streets. in New York, came upon a
large fand evidently old } deposit of semi
bogus Spanish pistareens. After the
boys had filed their hats and pockets
the police got about half a bushel. The
coin, said to contain six-pence worth
of silver to the pistareen, was originally
in canvass bags-perhaps 100000 pie
ces; but when buried and by whom. can
only be eonjectured. The room under
which it was found was formerly kept
as restaurant.

DEATH OF THE WIDow OF Dr.. r. II.
BIsHoP-REMARKABLE CoINc1DEScE.-
The venerable, widely known, and WE'LL
loved Robert Hamilton Bishop, D. D.,
our readers viii remember, died, after
along life of usefulness, at his residence
on College Hill, some weeks since. His
wife, with whom he had lived happily
for nearly sixty years, was precisely
two weeks his junior, and after his
death, tottered about as if lost, and
seemed, though surrounded by her af-
fectionate children and grand children,
to feel utterly alone, and that this world
was no longer the place for her; and,
strange 70 say. exactly two weeks after
his departure. 1t was decreed that her
Imprisonment here should not be length
ened out, and she was called to Join
him m the better world. His death oc-
Cured on Sabbath morning, the Goth
April, and she received the, to her, joy-
full summons to go to him at about the
same hour on Sabbath morning, the
18th inst. Thus, when she had lived
the same number of DAYS npon the
earth that he had numbered, her spirit
took its fight, and she now ''sleeps
well" beside him IN the College. yard,
where he willed that mound, covered
with evergreens, but no monumental
stone, should mark his resting place
There is something very affecting and
deeply suggestive in the death Of this
aged couple, who. joined in life, were
not severed in death-whose allotted
time on earth was the same, and for
each of whom beautiful Sabbath morn
ing were appointed, that they might fall
serenely to sleep.-Cineinnati CONNER
