Has Valuable $5 Bill.

Harry W. Graves, a conductor on the Pennsylvania lines, living at Columbus, this state, has a $5 bill which would hardly pass at the present time, but he places a greater value on it than is indicated by its face. The bill was issued by the Madison & Indianapolis Railroad company, from Columbus, in 1843, and was backed by real estate owned by the railroad company. The bill is only printed on one side, and it was the work of a Cincinnati engraving house. It is printed on very thin paper and is remarkably well preserved. This issue of currency was authorized by a special act of the Indiana general assembly when the state undertook to help in the building hoHihe old Madtßon A IndiatiapOFs [railway, amiis signed by Treasuu r 1 of State Dunn, as well as President ' Palmer and the secretary of t’ e ■ -ailway c-mpanj.
