Mutilated Currency.

The Treasury does a heavy amount
of business since the specie received at
the Custom House for duties is depos-
tied here daily. This is equal to So
600, 900 a week, and indicates the i'm
mense amount of our importations. The
redemption of mutilated currency is
another feature in this institution. As
our Government has $400, 900, 900
greenbacks in circulation, the "wear
and tear must be incessant, and at
least one-tenth that sum is annually ex-
changed for new money. The amount
of this business seems controlled by pc
culiar motions of internal traffic. The
receipts of mutilated currency increase
from the beginning of January to the
lst of August, and then they slacken
until the close of the year. During last
month the amount was 500, 900 week.
The worn-out money is tied up by the
clerks in packages foot and half
square, which are then packedin chests
and despatched to Washington. The
amount thus sent would fill two enOr-
nous Saratoga trunks every week. The
transportation is done by the Adams
Express Company, which has made a
fortune out of the Government.-N. Y.

Yellow Fever Among Children.

In view of the difference of opinion
in the community and among the ply
sicians relative to the causes of mortal
ity, among children especially, report
er of the Picdy't1le yesterday called on
Dr. Armand Mercier to obtain his opin-
ion in the premises. The doctor, when
asked if he would be interviewed, ex-
pressed his willingness to give his opin-
ion in the matter, and the following
conversation was held:
Reporter what is your opin-
ion of the yellow fever now prevailing
in the city-is it very badp
Doctor-It is very malignant in its
character, and, in my opinion, has been
epidemic for the past ten days. But
am confident that one-third of the cases
reported are not yellow fever.
Reporter--DOctor, the mortality
among the children is very great. Do
you think that the children born in the
city are likely to catch the malady?
DoctOr-Children who are born in
New Orleans, within the limits of vel
low fever at the time of their birth, and
constantly kept within these limits, do
not catch the fever, and child who
has lived during the first ten years of
its life within these limits could after
ward go abroad, remain twenty years,
and return with impunity, there being
no danger of his getting the fever. l
have practiced medicine in this city
since 1841, and have been through all
the epidemics since that year, and have
seen Creole children, but have never
known of one case of yellow fever
among the children born, as l said be-
fore, within these limits. Ihave some
times seen children who were born in
New Orleans die of fever, but they were
children who have been taken away
every summer, and especially during
an epidemic. .-NeO Orleans Picdl1tlle.

The public printer boasts that the
Government printing office at Washing

GRAPHICAL feat as is narrated could be
accomplished. The revised statutes
were to be printed. Boutwell's S manu-
script had been approved by Secretary
Evarts, and was referred, during the
closing hours of the session, to the Sen
ate Committee on the Revision of Laws,
of which Senator Christiancy is Chair
man, and it was thought hest to have a
few copies printed, so that the commit
tee might examine them at their leisure
during the recess of Congress. The
manuscript was given to the printers
Wednesday morning. On Saturday
evening at six o'clock hugh octave

bound in full calf, was delivered to

sporadic and pusillanimous how'll" and

the occasion, Mr.. Pussley added, as he

A Remarkable Story.

Some time ago a Mr.. Neff, residing
near Alexandria, Huntingdon County,
this State, went to his well to get a
drink and found it dry. He then went
down into the well to make repairs, and
was much surprised to find not pint of
water and the bottom fallen out. A
cool breeze blew up strong enough to
rustic the leaves of tree standingnear.
He tied lantern to rope one hundred
feet long and let it down, and as the
lantern still burned he rightly con-
cluded that the air was pure. He then
procured spliced rope three hundred
feet in length, and to the end attached
basket containing lanterns dog and
cat. He let them down striking
bottom at two hundred and ninety-one
feet. At the end of six hours the
basket was brought up. The lantern
was still burning and the only visible
effect on the dog and the cat was chilli
ness. The next day the owner of the
well, accompanied by a trusty neigh
Dor, Mr.. Lefferd, descended TO the
bottom. What was their surprise to
find an immense cave, stretching miles
and miles in every direction. Stalag-
mites and stalactites of magnificent
gorgeousness lent beauty and variety
to the otherwise tomb-like scene. Here
and there flowing stream of water
rippled over stony beds, while thou
sands and thousands of bats fiuttered
their clammy wings, surprised at the
intrusion of man. Petrified sea-shells
of hundred varieties strewed the
floors and protruded from the strata,
After spending ten or twelve hours OF
continuous wandering, during which
time they penetrated beneath and be-
yond Alexandria, and discovered a
vein of nickel ore and a nugget OF
metal resembling antimony, they re-
turned to the surface, where their half
stricken wives clasped them to thei-
bosoms, thinking they had been lost.
1t is supposed this cave is connected
with those at Warrior Ridge and Sink
ing Valley, only few miles away.
Specimens of the nickel ore have been
sent TO Philadelphia and analyzed, and
pronounced superior to the nickel OF
either Lancaster or Germany, the only
two places on the globe where it is now
mined. -HarriSbuTg (Pa.) Patriot.
