Lost.
Louis Peppin lost his purse last Sunday, containing $50 (ten five-dollar bills) between the Hope House and Hill & Hosford's livery stable. The finder will be suitably rewarded by returning the same. We would advise the person finding the purse to return it as soon as possible, for the owner thereof is a poor old man, who has worked hard doing odd jobs around town, and that amount was the savings of many months, the loss of which has rendered him almost inconsolable.
