The Caucus Bill.

Fritz VS.. Stour, executor.-Appeal from

it is held that the war having rendered the
currency of Virginia of no value in Penn

in an agent appointed in Virginia in 1861, or
living in Virginia after the war closed, to

of Pennsylvania. If it were otherwise every
Northern creditor of Southern men was at
tho mercy of the agent he had employed
before the war, and this condition was
bad one, being prevented from holding in.

Strange Story About n Bible.

| Everybody has heard of the three wiso
| men who went to sea in bowl. The place
where these worthless OF nursery literature
fourlshed before the unfortunate sbipwreck
which terminated their history was some
few years ago the scene of an event, or to
speak more accurately, It is said to have
| been the scene OF an event. which goes fer
to prove that the centuries which have
elapsed since the maritime venture lust
| mentioned had not added to tie wisdom of
the place. The Church was being restored.
| SO We are informed, and the woodwork. as
| Is usual IN such cases, was being removed
and sold, to be replaced, no doubt, with the
gothic of Southampton street, when a
grocer IN the village bought for few
shiliings an oaken reading desk and the
Bible chained to it. For some time he used
the leaves of the Bible for trade purposes.
and the desk and chain went the way of old
wood and iron. But a friend, a bookseller.
suggested that the Bible deserved better
treatment, he was put into communication
with an eminent collector, who gave him
80 tor what remained. This turned out to
be copy, SO runs the tale, of the Great
Bible OF Henry Ill. in a perfect state-it
was perfect when the Church sold it-worth
about ESQ. at least that may be called
roughly its value; but as many years have
elapsed since one was sold, it is very possible
that twice or even thrice that sum might
have been reached in an auction room. Our
object is not to spread idle gossip, but to
give the authorities of. highly respectable
Lincolnshire parish. with a purely gothic
and thoroughly restored" church, an op-
portunity of denying the truth of rumor
which does them more credit than even the |
exploit of their three wise men of old; for.
rs the heralds say, ancient disgrace, go it be |
ancient enough, is better than even modern |
honor. be it never so great.-PaH Mall
Gazette. |
