IN A PRKDICAMENT.-A venerable
freedman, passing through Bank
street at an early hour yesterday
morning, just in front of the writer
of this, planted his foot on a five
dollar bill, and there held it, fearing
to stoop and pick it np, lest some one
should see him and claim it. We
saw the adroit trick, but not liaving
O'wned as much .as a five dollar bill
for many months, passed the old
darkey unmolested. Hour after hour
elapsed, and there tho fortunate
finder stood, firm as a rock, with his
enormous brogan entirely covering
the five dollar greenback. At no
moment coidd he see tho surging
crowd so abate as to afford him an
opportunity to secure his prize with?
out a contest with some disputant.
Finally darkness came, to tho great
relief of the .sable gentleman, and he
quietly transferred thc V from its
lowly place and exalted it to a posi?
tion in the folds of his capacious
pocket. Fortunate and persevering
old man that.-Petersburg Express.

and in tho hottest of thc tire.
After twenty-four hours of trial, it was
found among the debris, and on opening
it tins day has yielded up its contents in
very good order -books, papera, policies of
insurance, bank bills, a'l in condition for
immediate use. and a noble commentary
