vokes the opinion-whicb, whether
true or false, has become very general

% Some weeks ago, we lost .
valuable package Of type at the steam
boat landing. 1t was very nicely
done up in a brown paper parcel, and
directed to . house in New Orleans.-
We are satisfied that some body in
town, took it frsm the warehouse !;
soder the impression that it contained
Mexican dollars. and that it was in
tended as . legacy from some dear
deceased relative. Who ever has it,
knows by this time what it is, and if
he can put the type to no better use
than we can, We would thank the in.
dividual to return it to Us. We make
no doubt it was one of those singular
mistakes, often happening in christian
communities. If the gentleman will
return it to US, without further notice !;
his name shall be recorded in "the
