It is impossible to name the streng-

insects have more strength in proper

Peninsula News

A workman tearing down the walls
Of the old Patterson house at Havre
de Grace last week came upon bun
die of bank notes amounting to $4,000
Evidently thesmoney had been hid
den in the walls since Civil War
times, unknown to successive gener-
atoms who occupied the house.
They bear the date of 1868 and had
been issued on the First National
Bank Providence, R. I. They vary in
denomination from $40 to 10 cents.
/. The discovery caused furry Of as
tonishment and excitement through
out the town and there is general
speculation as to when and why the
money was secreted. The prevalent
theory is that it was hidden during
the latter months of the war, when
the town was occupied by Union sol
diers, between whom and the populace
there was considerable hostility.
For the present the money is in the
possession of Emory Mitchell, the
workman who found it. He is an en-
ploye Of c. A. McCommons, the con-
tractor who is razing the building.
The hose passed out of the hands
Of the Patterson family 80 years ago
when it was sold to Morton Newmey-
er. Under his ownership it has been
occupied by a number Of families, in
Guiding that Of Charles P. Wright,
now superintendent of the Hartford
county schools, then principal Of the
local institution.
The only surviving member of the
Patterson family now in Havre de
Grace is Mrs. r. A. Smith, wife of a
prominent physician there. Mrs. B.
d. Spencer, another descendant, by
another branch, is now living in
Philadelphia. Mrs. Smith has stated
her intention Of inquiring of her If
she knows anything Of the money.
She, herself, had heard nothing Of, it.
