A Needle Twenty-three Years in a
WOman,S Body.

Twenty-three years ago, says Water
town IN. " paper, Mrs. Ellen Phillips,
now residing on Factory street, Water
town, lived in Utica. One evening,
while dancing her baby on her knee, she
felt o sharp pain in her left foot, and,
on examining her slipper, found small
hole in it, as though made by needle.
She at once sent for doctor, who ex-
amined her foot, and pronounced his
opinion that no needle was in it, Sew
enteen years passed on; the circumstance
was practically forgotten, but six years
ago the point part of broken needle of
less than half the length worked it's way
through and came from her left leg.
This brought to her mind the occurrence
of SO many years before, and the perfo-
rated slipper was the subject of CONVEX
sation again for time. In its turn it
was forgotten until last Tuesday, when
the remainder of the needle, the eye,
with little more than half the shank, was
pulled forth from her right leg, little
above the knee. After finding resting
place in this woman's body for twenty
three years the needle was not rusted,
although somewhat discolored. The
story sounds queer, but it is vouched for
by Mrs. Phillips and some of her neigh
bors. who believe her. 4.ll 81 @ Q9I 3H

A Guinea for a Sixpence.

A firm in New York seems unfamiliar with
the London story of the man who offered to
sell real guineas at a trifle, but could find no
buyers Geo. P. Rowell & Co.,-the "News-
paper Advertising Bureau" propose, for one
hundred C) dollars, to put ten-l,ne adver-
tisement in some thirty standard weeklies, and
to slide it into thousand other weeklies free.
Do they expect people to take the offer Any
one acquainted with the high rates of these
standard weeklies can see that the thing is
ridiculous. Rowel & Co. must know. very
well that acceptances Of the offer would be SO
many items to charge to profit and loss We
retract our insinuatlon about their ignorance
of that London story. They probably know it
too well, and are shrewd enough, by taking ad-
vantage Of that human trait &C which the story
hints, to make a stroke for fame as men of
startling hberality, and at the same time run
no risk Of pecuniary loss

The Original Greenbacker.

BETHLEHEM, Oct 26th, 1878.
 Mr. Editor-The New York Sun with it's customary effrontery has been bragging about one of it's reporters finding the original green back man. somewhere tout west"-in Indi- ana, think. Now this is all wrong, and does great injustice to this section. The honor thus claimed for a western man properly be- longs to Ltchfield county, and to the town of Bethlehem. Many years ago there lived in this town man named Todd. He had son, Merritt Todd, who was genius, a reformer, a philanthropist. He was, however, born before knowing more than his fellow men. He con-. ceiued the idea of making money cheap and plenty. He collected great quantities of old newspapers, wrapping paper, and all kinds of paper. He cut his material into parallelograms the size of an ordinary bank bill. These he stained on one side with the green juice of va rious plants. On the other side, the bills were stained with pokeberry juice, indigo, and an- alto, and the denomination was plainly mark ed with ink of different colors. For the sake Ol COuN6ulCuCC, uC lACuC oOIiC ULllo oS oiAoA o0 one dollar but most of them were for large sums. When he had made sufficient quanti- ty to begin with he undertook to put them in circulation Many of our citizens were in debt, and not few of them poor. Todsl of- fered them the means of clearing off their mortgages and rolling in wealth but such is the perversity of the human heart, and so dense was the ignorance of the science of fi- .nance at that day, that Todd was treated with astonishing cooness, and even with ridicule. As last resort, Todd offered his money to his father. The old man behaved like all the rest. This was the last straw that broke the camels back Merritt Todd seized an axe and killed his father in an instant. For this irregularity he was sentenced by the Superior Court to be confined in the jail at Litchfeld ''till further l orders' This sentence clearly showed that the judge had premonition of the greenback movement of to-day, and was only saving up. | Todd until his time should come. The prison CTS in the jail were worked outside at odd jobs such as digging drains, cutting up wood piles, wedding gardens, and the like. One day Todd was sent to turn the press of the Sentinel newspaper. He saw a great number of chro- mos Cleft by agents of publications that offered prizes to their subscribers) and they reminded him all too keenly of his rejected money. He asked the pressman if he might step out for a minute. When the minute had become five, one of the boys went to look for him. Todd was nowhere in sight. Alarm and search re- suited in seeing meagre figure glide swiftly over a distant hill that forms the western hori- zon. Since that day no mortal eye in New England has seen Todd. Obeying Greeley he went West, changed his name, promulgated his financial theory, found receptive minds, and he is now member of congress. T He has lately written confidential letter to friend here, requesting that the money he manufac- tured be saved, and declaring that it will soon be full legal tender.
