Vermont Phœnix

John F. Langdon, a farmer living near the village of Florence in Pittsford, has just received $40 from the United States treasury to replace two twenty dollar bills which were destroyed in a peculiar way. Recently Mr. Langdon lost an envelope containing two twenty dollar bills, a ten and two fives. Later he found the three smaller bills in a pen where a cosset sheep was kept. Suspecting that the cosset had eaten the others he killed the animal and recovered enough pieces to prove that both bills had been eaten. Cashier Scott of the Brandon National bank forwarded the pieces to Washington and they were redeemed.
