Lost.-As Jonathan Groves Of White CLAY
Greek Hundred, was coming to this city, week
or two ago, two bags of oats slipped oil his
wagon, one of which was found on the Hare 5
Corner road by Thomas Weber, who prompt
ly returned the same aud received treat of
oysters for his trouble. The other bag, lIowev-
er, fell into less energetic hands, as thus far
nothing has been heard from il by the owner,
although his name was printed in large let ers

Groves by returning the bag to him, or by
leaving at this Office or al. Grubbs's hotel, cor

paid wages TO their hands in silver coin on Sat
urday, with the understanding that if any of

equivalent TO a forfeit of their situation The
coin was new, having been procured flom the
mint for this purpose. They propose to con-
tiHue this method of payment ii the premium
shall not advaIcs beyond six per cent. Their
object, the introduction of specie payment, is
certainly to be commended. They are enter
prlsing men, employ all their old hands, at the
old rate of wages, and deserve liberal patron
age at The hands of the public. We commend
tie imitation of their example to others.
