Of all evll," and so frnl ln the belief that lt may be dug wp, that they may traverse hill and dale, climb the lOftiest mountain, and C. ven work their way into the bowels of the earth in search of it. Indeed digging for mo- ney hid in the earth, is very common thing: and in this state it is even considered an hon. orable and profitable employment. We could name if we pleased at least five hundred re- spectable men, who do, in the simplicity and sicerity of their hearts, verily believed that immense treasures lay concealed upon our Green Mountains, many of whom have been industriOusly and perseyeringly engaged in digging it up. Some of them have succeed ed even beyond their expectations. One gen tleman in ParkerstOwn, on the summit of the mountain, after digging with unyielding con fidence and unahatiing diligence, for ten or twelve years, found sufficient quantity of money to build him cOmmodious house for his own convenience, and to fill it with com forts for the weary traveller. On stopping lately to refresh. we were delighted by the view of an Gnchor on the sign, emblemat- ical of his hope of success, while we left him industriously digging for more. Another gen tleman on Lake Champlain, we were credibly informed, has actually dug up the enormous sum of fifty thousand dollars :! The incred- ] ulOus and unbelieving may stare at this asser- tiOn, but it is nevertheless true and we do not hesitate to declare our belief that digging tor money is the most certain way of obtain ing it.--NIuch, however depends upon the skill , ful use of the genuine mineral rod. Don't dag too deep, is an appropriate maxim with all those who are versed in the art. Woods l. ron Plough skillfully guided, is sure to break the enchantment, and turn up the glttering dust in every furrow. Countless treasures yet remain in the earth. Speed the plough ply the hoe-'twill all come to light.
 P. s. The best tune for digging money, is early in the morning, while the dew is on.
 General Psmeroy. The following, which oc- cured at the late anniversary meeting of the ancient and honorable Artillery Company of Boston, beautifully illustrates the sober, hon. est, and solemn resolution which distinguished so many of our fathers in the days of deliver ance from the house of bondage. Mr. Everett
 having been called on to propose a sentiment. introduced one with the following explanation: :" MT. Commander: On the 17th of June,
 l775, two floating batteries were stationed by the British in Mystic river, and frigate in the basin near Lechmere's Point, whose cross fire raked Charlestown Neck. This was one of ttC GiHtk ClICutlSIdHCCS WHICH pTcNcuIcu tue effectual lre-enforcement during the day, the American troops on Bunker Hill. Several attempts, however, were made, and with suc- cess, by individuals and parties from the head quarters at Cambridge, to support the Amer
 ican force engaged on the Hill. Among others ] who made this attempt was Gen. Pomeroy, of Northampton, then in his roth year, who came down to the causeway, mounted on a borrowed horse. When he reached the spot, the whizzing of balls and grape-shot was heard, the ground was torn up, and the fences in all directions were torn into splinters: Gen. P. came to halt-and as some of those around
 him perhaps supposed, for the purpose of turning back. He however dismounted, gave the horse in charge of stander, observing, "it is too valuable an animal to take into such fire, besides not being his own," shouldered his musket, and crossed the neck on foot."- Mr. Everett then proposed: "The Yankee notion of a commanding officer-Prudent and brave; who knows when to spare the caval- ry, and when to push the infantry" Cheers Bost. paper.
