a letter, written more than seventy years
'asro by Dr. Caleb G. Adams, of Exeter,
N. II. to General Nathaniel Folsom, of
that town, who, was athe 'time a member
of ttarProvirifcial 'Congress, Philadelphia.
In the following passage,-that well known
phenomenon, the 'Dark Day,' which
spread alarm, and in some cases, conster
nation through this part of the country
is described, with details which must
prove deeply interesting to many of our
readers., The fetter is dated Exeter,

bjought it all down in a body, which, to

Of this remarkable currency jn Indiana
the Lafayette journal thus speaks :
"The vignette is nigger shearing a hog,
supposed to be squealing. The president
of the bank stands near, assisting to hold
the hog: The dear people may be discov
red a good ways behbid.. Thunder ane
light-ning in the foreground; The picturo
of a seedy looking individual, 'secured
by stocks,' through which his feet run, a

Auditor of the State, and being rode up
on a rail by a couple of Wall street

from his eye, adorns the centre of the bill.
Oh one side of the Governor 'is a hawk,on
the other side a. buzzard. He holds in
one hand the scales of justice, one side of
which is evidently yeryiightj the other is
holding" a document, his last message,
from yvhich he appears to be reading to a
crowd of disconsolate individuals below,
who refuse to be comforted.'
