Not a Gocd Place for Money.

Cincinnati Enquirer. in July last George Sands, a well-jto-do farmer near Milan, took home S3OO and Handing it to his wife, requested her to take care of it. She considered that the straw bed tick would be about as safe a hiding place as she could find. Accordingly she placed the roll of bills among the straw. The money not being needed for any purpose, it was forgotten untill several* weeks after the house had been cleaned. w T ben Mr. Sands inquired of his wife if she had that money. The thought came to her at once that she had emptied that straw bed in the orchard, and, of course, tbe roll of bills had been dumped out tco. A visjt to the orchard showed that the swine aud poultry had been very industrious threi and $lO and S2O bills were found scattered by the winds and torn by the aforesaid farm stock. Careful search brought back about $230, leaving S7O as the price! of the carelessness. \
