The story is a queer one, but the whole facts of the case have- not transpired. This Butw. will not shout until wo are out of raucn " c"am ' lne 0,reclora of '.q tion, in looking over their bundles of bills which have been withdrawn from circulation, came across certain packages which looked " curious." These packages have been long done up ; some as far back as 1835 were sealed with the cashier's official seal and signed by the old President and the old cashier. both now dead.- On opening the bundles, in place of finding $20,000, they found a sixpence worth of ' paper, cut in bill form, and nicely stowed into the packages. This was an astounding diecorery, and coming, as it did, upon a business, active Bank- upon men famous for managing their instituiion iu a most vigorous and energetic manner, it was the more overwhelming The money is gone, but who has taken it, is the question to be solved. lathe Halifax District, Mr. Danicl is re-elected h a large majority.

Mr. Gales : After an absence of many years, I had an opportunity of visiting a few days ago, once more, the old pleasure grounds and shady groves, Ihe constant resorts of my school-boy days, ' long time ajo," in this self-same beautiful City of Oaks. Oh, how the recollection of the happy scenes and rend, niscpnecs of life's young buoyant days would rush upon my mind as 1 would recognize each spreading oak, and dark green hickory, a; the face of some old familiar friend, and recal to mind the light and de lightful hours passed here fifteen years ago. I TiAeen years ago ! How rapidly and unnoticed have they passed. It seems but as yesterday al most, that I was standing at Ihe rostrum of Ihe be loved but now lamented Dr. McP, reciting for Ihe first time tho lesson" Drut crearit cirlum el ier ram," and bcrraii to drink of the fountains of knowl edge and of learning. I stood and gazed upon the old Academy, the surrounding groves, the particular true known in boyish, playful sportiveness, as "home," in " Prisoner's base." Yes, here stands the same old building, though I am glad to see it is newly painted np and repaired handsomely ; well do I remember the ttriling lessons 1 have received here, and a half suppressed, melancholy sigh found utterance, as I called to mind the many misspent and wasted hours I squandered away in that preciou. time of life But as Ovid hath it Serorespicitur tellue, ubi June eoluto Curril in imnuneum panda carina ealutn, Or, in more modern parlance, it is too late to cry over spilt milk. -1 could fancy myself the same gay and nimble youth, fearfully dashing up the tall hick ory after the hut and hirsts nest. I went and sat un der the deep shades, in the same spot where I former ly sweated over Euclid, and pulled my hair in very rage over the deep, and to me then incomprehensible mysteries of Algebra and Mathematics ; und how de lightful aad refreshing were the recollections of those gleeful and happy days, when life was light as a fairy, and n. mark of Corroding care had been mado upon my innocent heart.' Blissful, joyous days glorious even hi their recollection; While wrapped in this fond reverie of brighter days, I instinctively turned quickly around a. tho' I heard the fond, familiar voices of those who joined me in my school-day sports but all was silence. One by one, would the well-remembered visage of Ham. and R'ife and George and Frank and Dal. Boh, I lit, Tarn. Wat. kine, Julius, Marcellue, and Sam Brown, and a host of others, rise to my viewnd 1 hough I called for them, yet, like the spirits of th. vasty deep, they came not.
