Joe PheInsI Sneazinr nog.

Joe Phelps. who by virtue of long
and painful residence in Jersey, has a
face sprinkled with freckles, the sesult Of
the sunlight on the sunny soil of that
monopoly domain-is and has been, and
always will be-a dog fancier. His
house is a perfect monagerie Of dogs, of
every variety known to man. His great
est pleasure consists in teaching the young
canine idea how to shoot and the la
ziness of two brindle, crop-eared, bow
legged, big headed, hair-lipped bull ter.
riers, which be calls his favorites. is sufli.
cient evidence that they are indefatigablo
"setters."
Joe keeps tavern a few miles in the
rear Of Camden, upon dismal sort of a
by-road, which, by virtue Of crossing the
Camden and Amboy Railway several
times in It's zig zag course, is sometimes
called the "Short Cut to Eterpity."-
The sitting-room of Joe's tavern was
large, airy, comfortless; aud there was an
oldfashioned Fireplace, which occupied
an entire side of the apartment. The
two bull terriers, in cold weather, were
continually roasting themselves at each
side Of the hearth-scarcely ever stirring,
unless tempted by hunger to hunt a bone
or two. One evening a stranger stopped
for the night, and after his horse was
cared for, Joe ushered his guest into the
sitting room, and went out to "do up the
chores" The stranger drew chair to
the center of the hearth, and then noticed
for the first time that he was the object
of an intense scrutiny from two ugly
looking CANNES, one on each side of him
Presently the stranger gave vent to a
violent sneeze. To his astonishment the
two dogs wagged their stumpy tails,
looked at each other with a solemn ex.
preston Of countenance, and then slinked
away through an open door into another
room. A moment after Joe came in.
Hello stranger, where's them dogs

sneezed just now, and il must hay,
frightened them, for they started off in
stAntly."
"Thats il; 'spected you had sneez
ed. I always whip them dogs for sneez
ing"
The mystery of the sudden departure
of "them dogs" was now explained
each dog had thought that II was th
other that had sneezsd; so both went ou
mentally thinking Of tho "strapping" il
perspective.

The Seneca County Bank---SOme
'.t Facts In regard TO It.


The Seneca County Bank was organ
ized in i846, as an independent bank
Its issues were based on State stocks
When a bank of this sort is organized, the
officers write to the State Treasurer, to have
Engraved for them so many bills, stating
the number and the denomination of The
bills. IL appears by the books in tho
TIeasuror's Office, that from tho date of
organization, to July 10Th, 1856, there
were issued to the bank in bills Of differ
ent denominations, S3116l, for which
stocks were deposited. Tho paper ON
which the bills were printed not being
good, when Mr., Gibson came into office.
ho was ordered by tho bank officers to
burn the blank notes remaining in the
office. Ho accordingly destroyed S87.-
csc, and there is now on hand In the De-
partment S4,875 Of these old bank bills.
These facts show the following result:
Bills issued to the bank, ..,.... .S3l7Gu
Blank bills destroyed. .,.,,,,.,... S7,S36
Blank bills ON hand...,........., 4,ST5
Total....,.....,...,.,..u,snO,329 Total
BY the engrayers' statement il appears
that they had furnished in blank bill
sheets 30 July I 9th, 1855, Of different
denominations, S43S,606, which shows
a surplus Of S20, ,254 not accounted for,
and the presumption is, that this amount
OF bills are now in circulation, and for
which there was no authority, and for the
redemption Of which the State holds no
stocks or securities.
IL appears by the books Of the Treas
ury that from January l4th, 1856, the
day on which Mr.. Gibson went into Office,
up to July 18th Of the same year, he is.
sued new bills 10 the amount Of $4,000.
which were given in place Of old and
mutilated notes retuIned
10 Is automatically demonstrated,
therefore, by the figures above, that the
over issue was made prior to his entrance
upon his Office. And il further appears
that the issues by the Treasury, and the
redemption of Of bills made at the Treas.
ury from July 18th, 1856. 10 the present
time exactly balance, leaving the amount
OF over issue from the Treasury depart
meni, as stated above. to be S28. 254-
Presuming, Of course, the engraver's
statement TO be correct, Of which there is
and can be no doubt, the question is,
who got the s2S. 28 /, the Bank or the
Treasurer, or some one else?
