Old Continental Currency.

Probably the best collection hereabout
of at least one sort of currency is Mr.. Fer
dinsnd E. Becker's. Mr.. Becker, a clerk
at 374 Asylum street, boards at IS Sigour-
ney. He gave friend o-day an old Con-
tinental 81 bill of 1875, which is very per-
feotly preserved. 1t IL printed On coarse,
thick paper, bearing on one side border,
and only the words "seven Dollars" q
picture beneath which seems to represent
leaf, and beneath that, the most promin-
ent proclamation visible, the names of the
printers, Hall and Sellers, q Philadelphia
firm, 1775. On the other side ths bill is
ornamented with fancy border, and the
words "Seven Dollars" worked in; aleo
"The United Colonies"-"No. 330l9"-
"6evon Dollars" At the right of the seal is
printed, "This bill entities the bearer to
receive SEVEN Spanish milled DOLLARS
or the value thereof in Gold or Silver, ac
cording to the Resolution of the CON
GRESS hsld at Philadelphia the 10th Of
May, 1775." The signatures are two in
number, and the upper one has too fal
faded to be decipherable; the lower one
written In different ink, is "Judat
Foulke." The seal, with its Latin motto
Serenabit, seems to promise peace after
these days of storm-which latter appss,
to be indicated in picture of volcano.
A S. bill in the same old Continental
currency is in possession of w. F. Walker
Its device Is different, and 80, of course, Ii
the denomination, but otherwise the obi
cation of the Colonies is stated in the same
words. The entire production seems il
its crudeness and coarseness to fit in with
the times of the old flntlock musket, the
powder horn and the old Continenta

THE STATE FAIR THIS YEAR.

The Days of the Old County Faifs ne
called-No Woodbridge Fair Again
This Year-NO Brushes Between the
Fast Horses After the Fair.
90 The days of the county fairs hereabouss
have long since departed and the state 1air
and the Danbury fair take their place as tar
as New Haveners are concerned, excepting
that few of the town fairs in the state at
tract some from this city who have family
ties or boyhood days reoollections which
draw them to attend these smaller exhtb-
its. Not few in New Haven recollect the
big fair which was held at Grapvine point
thirty or thirty-fve years ago, and which
drew thousands of people to enjoy it. 1t
was big fair for those days. The land
where the fair was held is now thiekly o.
cupied by shops and factories and dwell
ings. At that time the land of that local.
ity WAS largely monopolizsd by blackberry
and whortleberry vines and pasture lots.
In fact, all the land from Grand avenue to
the point was open ground and unocoupied
excepting that there were few houses at
the point and factory building. Acres
and acres of the land, now go thickly set
tied, were bare of buildings, and good
place to 60 berrying.
Despite the hard times the state fair this
wear promises to be we'll attended, though
| it is doubtful If any great profit will be
realized.
There was one fair which was always
dear to the hearts of great many New
Haven people. This was the Woodbridge
and Bethany fair. 1t was always harvest
festival that drew out there to enjoy it
