AN interesting fact in connection with the
loss and estimation of fractional currency is
ascertained from the treasury department
figures. 1t is very well known that the
government is really the gamer by large
amount by the disappearance Of small notes
and currency, but the figures regarding the
three and five-cent issues of fractional cur
rency. when it is remembered how many of
them are required TO make a dollar, are par
ticularly interesting. The issue of these
notes by the government ceased in April,
1869, at which time there had been issued
$602, 900 of the denomination of three cents,
and $5,7O0,OO0 Of the five-cent series, and,
although over six years have elapsed, there
are still outstanding $4,000 in three-cent
notes and over $1,S7O,OO0 of the five-cent
issue.

BLACKwooD for October has an excellent
article on Money" In speaking of the loss
of the precious metals, which yearly occurs,
it quotes an authority for the statement that
between 1852 and 1857 e100,00O.000 were
buried in Hindostan and China alone. The
richest metallic deposits on earth are
sprinkled over eastern Asia in forgotten
hiding places. The whole amount of gold
and silver possessed by the Christian coun-
tries of the world is some e2,0OO,OOO, 900, OF
which e65O,0OO,O0O is in coin, 100000, 900 in
plate and ornaments, and $3.50, 100000 are
left to represent the hoardings of humanity.
Respecting paper money, Blackwood says it
is sham-an excessively meritorious sham,
but none the less sham.

paid small deposits up to $4,000 The
payment of these on resumption will give
$1,OO0,o00 already In preparation, and some
is on the way from New York. The commence

DISTURBANCE AT THE FURNACE
On Sunday last general melee was
had among the Furnace men and
the Miners from the ore banks. We
have made numerous inquiries con-
corning the affair, but can get no def
mite report. 1t seems there is rather
a jealousy existing between the two
sets Of hands, and as the day previous
Saturday was general payday, many
of the men became intoxicated, and
gave vent to their feelings in gencr-
al tight,-throwing stones, hitting
each other with clubs, boards, &C.
Several men were more or less in ur-
ed, but none seriously. i became
necessary, however, to call a justice of
the peace and constable to "sooth their
angry passions which was done with
out any arrests.

CLEAN UP.-The time of year has

CLEAN Up.-The time of year has
now arrived when every famil y should
give their premises thorough clean
ing up. This is a highly important
matter and cannot be attended to too
soon. 10 neglect it may involve the
N ost serious consequences to the
health of the community, for it is a
we'll known fact that filth is the cause
of many Of the epidemics that prevail
during the summer months. Persons
cannot be too careful in attending to
their back yards, cellars, out ousss,
&C., and see that chey are kept clean,
and we trust our citizens will COM
mcnce right away to put their prem
ises in order, by giving them a
thorough lining, which should be re-
peated frequently during the summer.
Our village, it is true, has enjoyed .
long exemption from epidemies, but
this is no reason why there should be
a lack Of proper sanitary measures.
An ounce Of prevention Is better than
a pound Of cure, and it is to be hoped
that our citizens, acting upon this
principle will 60 to work and have
every nook and corner Of their prem
ises overhauled without further de-
lay. Let the town authorities also
see that the streets are kept in a
proper condition, free from all til.h,
&C., that usually accumulates in gut
tiers and runs. Nothing presents q
better appearance to the traveller
than clean street and clean premises,
to say nothing Of the satisfaction
given to home folks.
