! Weston, after his failure to make the
hundred miles on Saturday, the 10Th
I inst, took e seven hours sleep at Con-
peaut, Ohio, and at 1870 o'clock on sun
! day morning was again on the tramp as
| blithe and fresh as ever, which is pretty
good evidence that he could have made

1t is Understood that the new fifteen
| cent denomination of fractional currency
is now ready to be issued, but that the
delay is occasioned by a desire to know
