A working man in Leith came upon a “ posie ” of money lately in a rather singular way. He was stripping some old paper off a closet, when he discovered a bundle of pound notes of the value of nearly LIOOO sterling. The man was honest, and he accordingly stated that the packet was addressed to a joiner in I eith, long since dea l, but several members of whose family are still alive. “ How many children have I ? ” asked a woman of a spirit-rapper. “Four.”— “And how many have I?” a-ked her husband. “Two,” was the astonishing reply. Mistake somewhere.
