The Erce prfNA SAYS .

We are informed by Mr.. G. W. Wood
house, cashier of the Merchants National
Bank, of this city, that mutilated bills OF
the issue of that bank, to the amount OF
$3.50 were received last week for redemp-
ton. These bills were in the same safe
with the package of st. Johnsbury
National Bank bills whose recovery from
the wreck of the steamer W. r. Carter
was noticed by us yesterday. All except
two of them were more or less burned
around their edges, but on close inspec-
ton they were readily recognized by the
officers of the Bank. The remaining two
bills could not be distinguished from a
mass of burned and soaked paper, but
after being subjected to the most careful
examination with powerful microscope
at the Treasury Department, they were
pronounced by the United States officers
to belong to the same issue and were
accordingly redeemed by the Bank.

The QUAkER's REToRT. - A very
young man, travelling in a stage-coach to
| London, forced his deistical sentiments on
the company by attempting to ridicule
| the Scriptures, and among other topics,
made himself merry with the story of
David and Goliath, strongly urging the
impossibility of youth like David being
able to throw stone with sufficient force
to sink into the giants forehead. On this
he appealed to the company, and particu-
larly to grave Quaker gentleman, who
sat silent in one cornor Of the coach.
" Indeed, FRIEND" replied he, 8" do not
think it at all improbable, if the Philis-
tines head was as soft as thine" This
grave robuke reduced the young man to
silence.
WINTER IN VERMoNT.-Travelin in
Vermont has been marked by some novel
incidents this winter. A Montpelier
gentleman, en- route with horse and sleigh

instantly buried in the snow. The hired
man jumping out to rescue the horse
found himself in the same fix as the horse,
except his head and shoulders. His EN-
plover With astonishment shouted, "Do
van touch bottom?" After q short
Istruggle and some excitement, his reply
