Relics of neneaIet Arnold.

"Reminiscences of Benedict Arnold have
been going the rounds since the recent death
OF Mrs. Ann uinman Kellogg, Of Fairfield
whose mother, IL is said, aimed n muskct
at Arnold at the time of the burning of
New London, in 1881, and would have
Killed him, except that the piece missed
nre. The proposition TO build a monu-
ment TO Major Andre nj TarrytOwn has
also lei TO the recalling of incidents in
Arnold's career. There is one "Reminiscences
OF that character which has not been men
toned. Several years ago gentleman Of
Brooklyn, who has long been noted for his
love of rare books, manuscripts, pamphlets
and engravings, came into the possession of
document signed by Arnold and a friend.
which he has carefully treasured until the
present day. The paper is written pledge
that the man who should be manned first
should receive from the other the gilt OF
silver tea pot, of the value of go. The
paper was dated before the Revolutionary
war, and was signed by gentleman by
the name OF Adams, as q witness The
paper rs now worn and stained with time
but the writing is as black aud lcgible as
the day II was written Not long ago n
man came into the Office OF the owner of
this precious document, and said, 81 un-

Nj. l. Barlow wants il and has offered TO
pay so much for it, but you can have it if
you will give "a certain other sum-" nam
ing it. We'll" was the reply, 'let's see
1t" The man began unfolding carefully
an ancient, time-stained document, upon
which, as ne was opening it, there appeared
the striking signature of Benedict Arnold.
The signature was recognized the moment
1t was seen, although it was upside down,
and the bargain was closed without a
moments delay. The paper turned out 10
be bet between Arnold and Adams. The
witness of the document referred to above.

probably be married first, and it contained
pledge that the one who was first mar
req should receive n gift of silver plate
worth Gl6 from the other The paner was
witnessed by the man who made the first
het With Arnold. The two documents bore
the same date, ana had evidently been
written at the same time. They had been
separated for over a hundred years, and
had finally come together again in the
ownership of the same gentleman. The /.
discovery of this second document is con
sidered one Of the best ''fnds" of the day
among antiquarians of the city and the
fortunate owner of the two papers is greatly /
