had his surplus money in silver dollars

On Friday last thunder storm
came waltz ng around Mr.. Cutters
premises. and Il lightning stroke in
truJuced itself very abruptly into his
barn. resulting in the entire destruc-
ton of the barn and wagon shed. Af-
ter the fire Mr.. Cutler promptly look
ell after his silver dollars, and found
them melted and fused into 1t maSs of
silver bullion.
The result is that Mr.. Cutters
thousand dollars or 50 OF silver that
was legal tender for the face OF it as
stamped by tic government, is today
worth only fraction over one-half
what he paid for it, If he had
secrctci gold coin Instead of silver
his u Urn might have burned and the
gol coin fus"l into bullion, but it
would be worth Just rs much as bui-
lion as il w,,s in money.
