Mr. Beffel brought with him a rello which will surpass anything In the lino of antiquity and oddity e>crsei>n In this cltv. In the year 1822, sixty one t curs ago, tltesldew lu'd steamer Superior was built, mid I nincbed In May ol the sunn* year. .Mie made succens- All trips between Detroit and Iliiffulo, and at that time lminlgiatlou u»sntfe\er bent and every steamer was heavily loaded. There w^re six other stetinieiH plviugby- tween tho two places, and the rivalry wli* Intense. In ihu year ISM 01 1853 theTSu perlot was running on Luke Superior, be¬ came disabled In a storm and was wrecked on what Is known n« Picture Kutk. There was an nld-liixliiuiieil wiioileu safe, lion- bound, on board, which contained it large amount of specie, snine sa\ thousands <>! dollars.

Mr. Bellel does not intend to remove tlio money until he has given the public a chance to view the novel telle, and It will probably be placed on exhibition In some prominent place.
