A Rare Medal.
A day or two since our townsman
Joseph Terbrueggen, while looking over
collection of old and quaint silver coins
and pieces in the .jewelry store of Joseph
Salick had his attention directed to
large silver medal, which upon minute
examination proved to be Of more than
ordinary historic interest, relating as it
does to one of the great families of Ger
many. The medal is pure silver, 21s
inches in diameter and 3-16 of an inch in
thickness being about three times the
weight of an American silver dollar.
Upon one side is engraved medallion
head Of, probably, the reigning sovereign
of Germany when the medal was made
Surrounding this figure is engraved in
bold letters the inscription, Ag. Comes
De Moltke S. r. MConsil. Int. Et. Supr-
Aul. Maresc Beneath the medallion in
minute letters is M G. Arbien. Fecit.
Upon the inverse side encircled with
laurel wreath is latin inscription the in
depreciation of which is: To its Protec-
tor D. d. D. The Royal Academy of
Painting, Sculpture and Architecture
1857. The engraving on the medal is
done by hand and is beautiful speci
men of workmanship. This token, then,
seems to have been presented to mem
Der of the Moltke family one hundred
and twenty three years ago in recogni-
ton Of his services as patron of art, and
was undoubtedly an heirloom for many
years in the present Moltke family il
Prussia, of whom Field Marshal Count
Moltke is the distinguished head. TAX
ing this view of the matter Mr. Terbrueg-
gen became the possessor of the rare
medal and will take pleasure in forward
ing it to Count Moltke this week. There
is every reason to suppose that the medal
was once in possession of the Moltkes
and perhaps stolen from them, finally
finding it's way to this country and being
at last sold for old silver. If such is the
case CountMoltke will be rejoiced to have
it restored to him, and under the circum-
stances the graceful act of Mr. Terbrueg-
gen in going to the trouble he has of re-
turning the souvenir to it's rightful owners
will no doubt be duly and properly ac-
knowledged and appreciated by them.

A. YOUNG man by the name of William
Kotz, coachman for Mr. Charles McClel-
Ian, came to my store one morning COM
planning that his feet hurt him very bad
~, and expressing fears that they were
frost-bitten. He had in vain tried to get
relief by consulting physicians, and had
endeavored, without success to ease the
pain by rubbing his feet with snow and
ice, the remedy applied in such cases.
Being exposed a great deal to the cold
by his occupation, his feet got worse dali
ly, until one day he tainted in the street.
A few days after he again came to my
store and showed me his feet. / have
seen a great many sores in my life, but
nothing to equal this, and was afraid the
poor fellow would lose his limbs. He
asked me for st. Jacobs Oil; but at first I
refused, as did not wish to take the
responsibility upon myself, not being a
great admirer of so-called Patent-Medi-
cines. However, some friends, who hap
pened to be in the store at the time, beg
ged me give the st. Jacobs Oil to the
sufferer; SO we rubbed his feet well with
the oil, and he took the remainder with
him. After nine days the same man
again came into my store, perfectly well,
and requested me to write to you of this
most wonderful cure; he also stated, that
two other persons have been cured of
