Brandon, (Vermont) July 20.
On Thursday evening last, a young man in this village, by the name of Henry June, about 18 years of age, being a little indisposed, a Physician was called, who administered for his comfort, a portion of emetic tartar; this nauseating medicine soon caused him to emit from his stomach, the moderate number of nine Bank Bills! which were not materially damaged. These bills had been in this safe deposit for about 3 hours. He was advised to the above medicine by a number of citizens who were strongly convinced that he had taken money from a store in this place. He was immediately arrested and is to have his trial this day.
