Strange and miraculous things are oc- curring every day, but one of the strang- est of occurences was brought to our at- tention Wednesday morning by Nelson Robb, secretary and treasurer of the Bellefonte Trust Company, says the Keystone Gazette. Tuesday afternoon about the time of closing the bank, two ladies from Bush Addition, a suburb of Bellefonte, came to the door on High street, leading into the private apartment of the bank, and Mr. Robb gave them a cordial welcome, One of the ladies was Mrs. Curtin C, Taylor, and in her hand she had a gold coin which she handed to Mr. Robb, in- quiring as to what it was worth. Mr. Robb on taking the coin found that it had been worn perfectly smooth on both sides so that it was impossible for him to tell as to which denomination it be- longed. The lady was informed that the piece could be seat to the mint and whatever they made it she would get, In the meantime Mr. Robb became curious to know where she had gotten the coin. Mrs. Taylor hesitated a little about telling the story, and Mr. Robb informed her that if it was something private he would not press the answer, Then Mrs. Taylor volunteered to tell the story, which was to the effect that she had killed a goose for New Year's and while removing the insides she found the coin io the gizzard. The only solution to the problem is that the goose picked up the coin a long time ago and as it revolved in the gizzard it was worn smooth by coming in contact with peb- nd other articles up by the bird. It is certainly a good chase a goose where the * Rilings rh found so precious, board of health, The friends of S. 8.
