the cession to leading American capital
lists, of nearly the entire Peninsula of

AN OLD DEBT FULLY PA1D.-The Lyndon
Union says that twenty-nine years ago,
Levi Wilder, Of that town, paid out 50
for the accommodation Of his neighbor.
The neighbor was not very prompt in
returning the money, but continued to
let it run from year to year. Mr.. Wilder
however, kept his eye on the chances,
and FIVE years ago, or twenty-four years
after the money was paid out, secured
a yearling colt from his neighbor, call
ing it so so, and gave receipt in full
for the SO, with twenty-five years inter
est. This colt he kept until two weeks
ago, when he sold it for $8OO-cash,
He had fully paid for his keeping while
Wilder owned him. We call that pref
ty good 50 investment.
