Our Spanish Guest, Hon. Wm.
Tweed, has arrived home to his native
land. He was rendered reception
by Sheriff Conner. and has taken up
his quarters in Ludlow ST., N. Y. His
voyage did not seem to agree with

his arrival. When last there he had a
sort of "rash," or at least he "broke
out" His diet and care is such as
will prevent repetition of this mala-
dy.

Sadie was bright, intelligent little
girl, very kind and tender, always
cheerful and happy. She took great
delight in her books She was fond
Of knitting and sewing and making
little things for her sisters at home.
Shortly after she was taken i'll she
knew she would not get better, but she
vas willing to go and be with Jesus.
She said "she was going to a brighter
and better world" The day before
her death she called for her little
brother and sisters, aud told them to
be good and kind to Mamma, and pre-
pare to meet her in heaven. She be.
queathed to each Of them her little
earthly treasures, and then said "God
bless them all" She expressed wish
to see her teacher, Miss Arner, and
gave her a little gift also. II was very
hard for her parents to give up their
dear Sadie, but they know she is safely
folded in the arms of Jesus, who said
"Saffer the little children to come uu-
to me, and forbid them not, for of such
is the Kingdom of Heaven"

---Jas. Woodington has left with US
piece of money (Which he was per-
fectly safe in doing, as it is not cur
rent) which merits a description: It's
dimensions are 2x4 inches, and it is
printed on thin cardboard. On one
side is the following

Fifteen Shillings.
Then follows the seal of Great Brit
ain, and three signatures, which are
defaced by time and age so that they
cannot be diciphered. The first one is
thought to be "Johr Wythe." A bor-
der, the pattern of which cannot be
made out, is around the whole.
& On the opposite side, in the centre
is an imitation of tobacco leaf sur.
rounded by two borders, the inner one
being composed of the signs of the

and character Is s. On one end is
printed "FIFTEEN SHILL1Nas, and on
the other end the following.

This is probably the oldest piecO of
paper money issued in the United
States now extant. 1t came into Mr..
Woodington's possession several years
ago when riddirg up The garret of a
house which he had rented in Lycom-
ing county. In the garret was a
handbook containing number of pa
pers and documents, and he looked
them over to see if any of them were
of Importance to anybody. Among
the papers he found the currency,
which he has kept ever since. 1t is a
curiosity which would be viewed with
interest by antiquarians.
