HY Mistake.

An offertory bag in an English rura
church was recently found to contain
a very rare specimen of a seventeenth
century token made of copper, which
had apparently been dropped into the
receptacle in mistake for a farthing.
The curio was valued by a local dealer
at fourteen shillings A description
of the article and the circumstances
under which it was found were affixed
to the church porch, but the donor
seemed ashamed to turn up and ex-
plain matters. A few days afterward
the clergyman received a typewriter
letter from an address long distance
from the church stating that if the
token were sent to TX Y. r. care Of
the householder, remittance OF half
a sovereign would be received in ex-
change. 1t was duly sent in a regis
tered letter. and postal order for 10
shillings arrived in return.
