The bill, is dated 29 August, 1834, in the Town of Goderich, Up per• Canada, and in size, color and form is much like the bank bills of the present time, except that it is quite plain on the bade, It is numb- ered 780, showing that Goderich Batik must have done some considerable business, and is signed by "Edwd. C. Taylor," whose official position, how- ever, is not stated. Lt is payable to "E. Geiffilt or bearer," in this respect being different front present-day bills, though probably serving the same purpose as currency; The amounts 11' and 'five shillings' are both imprinted on the bill, both currencies being in use here at that tithe, The bill is the' property of Edward Hoare of Walls erville, whose collection is said to be second only to that of the curator of the museum at Montreal. Mr. Walk- er -borrowed it to show to friends in. Goderich, and would be glad -to hear of any further proof of the existence of a Goderich flank at that early date. —Goderich Signal.
