AFTER FORTY YEARS.
Tho York National Redeeming Some
Old state Bank Bills.

BIDDEFoRD. July 23.-The York National
bank has just redeemed some Of its state
bank bills which were issued forty years
ago. The bills were found in the settle
ment OF an estate and were first thrown
away as yalueless. but afterwards the bank
was written to to see II they would be re-
deemed. As the bills were simply an ordln-
airy note they were outlawed long ago. but
the bank officers were perfectly willing to
make good the face value of them They
were first examined, however, to see that
tney were were not counterleits, as the state
bills issued by this bank were at one time
extensively c0unterfeited. Compared With
the paper money now In use these bills look
rather old style, but they are nevertheless
well engraved, and must have been hard to
counterfeit, as their value in very small
letter fills up all the space not otherwise oc-
cupied. John Q. Bradbury's signature ap-
pears on all of them and his signature placed
on bill today can hardly be told from
that on the bills signed In 1851.

BALTIMORE. July 23.-A letter was receiv-
ed today by G. Morton Stewart & Co., from
Capt. Elijah Bonner, master of the barken-
tine Steadfast which went ashore on st.
Cr0ix Island, In the West Indies, about two
weeks ago, giving particulars of the accident.
The Steadfast sailed from Trinidad for
Philadelphia on Tuesday, July 7th. On FRI
day afternoon about O'clock Capt. Bonner
made out the rocky coast of st. Croix and
headed his vessel for the channel which
rounds 1t. Without warning the Steadfast
grounded on ledge of jagged rocks between
one and two miles off the southwest end of
the st. Croix Island. Every effort was made
to get her off that night, but without sue
cess. The following day the bark Frances,
Capt. Thompson, also of Stewavt's fleet, and
bound from Trinidad for Philadelphia with
asphalt, hove In sight. Capt. Thompson
sent off beat to the Steadfast and assisted
In taking out some of her cargo. The
Frances lay by until the next morning
On Sunday night a heavy storm sprung
up, and the Steadfast pounded fearfully.
Toward morning she began to take water.
The crew manned the pumps and kept them
working constantly. The next day Capt.
Bonner went ashore secured lighters, and
put them to work upon the cargo. The IN.
derwriters then made their inspection. Capt.
B0nn0r wrote on July 14th. At that time
the barkentine was we'll up on the rocks.
Representatives of underwriters and owners
have gone from New York to st. Croix.
Upon their arrival in survey will be held

LAW MUST ss ENFORCED.
Governor BurIeigh TO the Sheriff Of
Aroostook County.

AUGUSTA, July Ex-Governor Burleigh
has today sent the following to the sheriff Of
Aroostook county:
Complaints have been made from various sec
tions OF Aroost0ok county that the prohibitory
laws are not being properly enforced. i desire to
call your attention TO this fact and to urge upon
you the Importance OF such a discharge of your
sworn obligations as shall leave no opening to
criticism OF this character. The prohibitory
laws have been placed upon our statute books In
recognition OF the overwhelming sentiment OF the
people OF Maine against the liquor traffic. 1t is
the plain and imperative duty of every officer
charged with their enforcement to see that they
are administered according to their spirit and in
tent am very desirous that there should be no
remissness of duty on the part of county or local
oflicerS upon whom rests the execution of the
laws. Tne Executive Council stand with me in
the determination to do everything possible for
the proper enforcement of these laws. l am alI-
thorized TO say In their behalf, that, while they
prefer that the matter of enforcement should
rest with the county and local officers, unless
these laws are faithfully and vigorously enforced
they shall favor the appointment of special con-
stables. Very respectfully yours,
