PIONEER COUNTERFEIT MONEY.

Mr.. Henry Hoax, of Berlin, men
toned an incident at the pioneer meet
ing in this city on last Saturday, of a
very interesting nature. connected
with the early history of tie FIJI Glands.
As related by Mr.. HI it was to this
effect:
Somewhere between the years 1912
and 1916, persou-naIue not given
resided in the township of Milan, who,
although apparently a very pious and
good man. was suspected of being en-
gagged in the business of counterfeiting.
Nothing, however, was ever proved
upon him, and it was supposed that
his dealings, if he were engaged in that
business, were had in distant parts of
the county, and not in his immediate
neighborhood. In the course of time
he and his family died or lett the coun-
try, and the suspicion passed out of
the minds of the people. The matter
was brought back to the recollection
of the oldest inhabitant in this way ::
within n short time, some three or
four banknote copper plates were
found in the roots of large tree that
was dug up or blown over near a
spring on the place formerly occupied
by the supposed counterfeiter.
The plates were, of course, very
much corroded and eaten. Mr.. Hoax
took them to the Register Office, at
SandusAy, where he hal them cleaned
and All impression taken iroiu them.
These copies Mr.. II. deposited il the
Pioneer Cabinet here The plates rep
resented notes OF small denomination.

Philadelphia, the Eagle Bank, of New

what it does represent.-Nor,cGk Re

4 TERRIBLE WIND STORM At WEST.
FIELD MASS.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. July "a ton
nado occurred at Westfield this after
noon. 1t came eastward through a
gorge of the Westfield river, and wild
ened to half mile, falling trees, scat.
teriDg fences, and demolishing buiId-
ings until its force was expended. 1t
first struck the wall of the Salmon
Falls paper mill. rebuilding from the
recent fire, which fell, crushing in the
engine house, containing two men,
one of whom WAS seriously hurt. Two
men piowing saw the storm coming,
and attempted to reach barn near
by. They and the horses were thrown
to the ground, and wounded by the
flying stones. When they recovered
sight the barn was gone. \ family of
six persons in house heard whirl
ing noise and knew nothing until they
found themselves on the floor some
rods from the site of the house. Two
buildings and a dozen barns were
blown down, and cro"s and trees in
jured. AT Cheopee Falls the winds
destroyed several barns, sheds, and
uprooted many trees.

THE late Ohio Legislature enacted
law extending the term of office Of
county auditors one year, but, before
the bill was enrolled, some person, who
knew perfectly well what he was
about stole the engrossed copy, and
that law will appear in the volume of
laws for 1877, with a lengthy explain
tory note from the Attorney General,
in which he expresses grave doubts of
the validity of the law, appearing es it
does from another than the legal copy.
He says there is no way Of determining
the absolute text of the law in the ad-
sence of the engrossed and enrolled
copy.

AN JNEYPENSINE HARBOR.


In our article OF last week upon the
extension of the l.. L. & l.. Ry., and
which 10y the way has attracted con
siderable attention, we omitted fact
which is of much Importance, aud par
ticularly so to & railroad corporation
which proposes to use the port to
which it builds. 1t is this The bar
Dor at Sandusky has been constantly
under the care Of the United States, and
has cost it IL the neis ishbortood of a
million dollars, about 200, coo of that
amount being expended during The
term of the present congressman.
That the harbor is 80 better to day
than before the money was expended
is evidenced by the fact that dredges
are and have been at work again, this
year, removing the accumulation of
sand from the harbor's mouth. 1t fol-
lows therefore that a gigantic system
of improvement will be needed to make
it available for the wants of commerce,
or else remain in its present unreliable
condition. The Harbor of Huron has,
on tie contrary, no need of such fos
tering care on the part of the Govern
meut. Some years ago an appropria-
ton of 1000 vas made for it, and
thee years ago last winter, while there
was an uuexpended balance to its
credit, an appropriation of $1,000 was
made, which has not we believe yet
been touched. Not a day or night in
the season OF navigation whether the
wiud be off shore or off the lake, from
the west or from the east, is there any
difficulty i'll the largest vessel sailing
into the river, without the appliance
of u tug, With such Il harbor as this
at its disposal, it seems hardly probable
that judicious business men would hes
itate upon the point of building a few
miles more OF road, when such a bar
Dor awaits them at their terminus, anG
when every I4ie of road they build
advances them just that far towards
the markets OF tie east.

SENATOR JONES chairman of the
Silver commission, has completed his
report. and q brief synopsis of the doc
ument has been given in Washington
dispatches. 1t is forcibIy in favor Of
reconciliation. 1t. claims that silver
has always been an important factor in
the monetary transactions of all ma
tions, and that the passage of the act
of 1873 demonetizing silver was char
acterized by an extraordinary lack of
information as to the effect such an
act would produce. The report dis
cusses the obligations of the Govern
ment in the payment of United States
bonds. The position assumed in the
report is that the act of 1870 is con
tract under which all subsequent loans
have been issued. In order, however,
that there should be no doubt, the act
stipulated that they must be paid i'll
coin of the United States of standard
value at that time, so that whatever
legislation might subsequently, be had
which would depreciate the value ot
gold and silver coin, it would be the
duty of the Government to pay in gold
and silver coin at standard value of
1870, even if obliged to strike coin OF
standard value of that date in order to
meet its obligations for the redemption
of these bonds. as no legislation cIn
break the faith of the Government TO
pay in coin of standard value of 1870.
