It will bo remembered that Mr. Jifrtfies Welsh advertised some time last fall the losing of parcels containing between three hundred and four hundred dollars of money. Part of it was found and returned to him a day nr two afterwards, but tho largest portion was not then recovered, and the owner about concluded he would never see or hear of it again. Not long ago, however, a family named Corey, in Jordan township, in a domesticquarrel twitted ono of their number of having found the lost money and appropriated it to his own use. Mr. Welsh heard of the quarrel and accusation, and has been successful in securing the payment of his money at a day not fur distant.

The cheapest and best reading matter that can be bought is contained in the old newspapers which we sell for ten cents a dozen. — These papers are our exchanges, both daily and weekly, not mutilated, and often not stale. They become “old papers” with us as soon as read, even though not five minutes from the mails. Among these papers are dailies from New York, Cincinnati, Chicago, Indianapolis, South Bend and Logansport, weeklies from all the neighboring towns of Indiana, from New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Mississippi, Illinois, Kansas and California, besides occasionally papers from other states north, sonth, east and west, most of which find their way to the sale table. These are tied up in packages of half a dozen or more (never less) which are sold for a nicklo each, But we can not mako special selections, nor have We any to give away. In addition to thcSo are illustrated newspapers and certain magazines, which are offered at higher prises. Gall had buy.
