would kill her. She told me that Northrop told
me to come and see her. told her he did not
She said he stood on an eminence higher than
did, called me to his house, and told me TO go and

81 600 and weat there, together with Mr.. Pierce.
| All three went in room. She said no one must
see him leave it. We left him in a room so he
/ could leave the money unseen. She said we must
| now leave the place where we had been digging,
| for four weeks. The spirit then told of another
place where we went and dug. She said if we went
to the old place the spirit would kill us. She told
US to go on if we dared, and she would appear to u.s.
She said the woman spirit was dying, and We
must give her time to die, and not 20 the place
She looked in her stone and said the spirits blood
was going to the head, and it (the head) was all
swelling up, and looked AS big as a hogshead.
At the last place the spirit said the money deep,
and would take six weeks to get il: II might be
got sooner, if they worked hard. The night after,
| the female spirit threatened to kill Northrop's
horses. let him take mine to 60 after the woman.
Shortly after reaching the ground they hitch
| the horses down. The rail they were htched to
was broken square in two. The horses were much

accorded nearly with that of MIR. Northrop and Mr..
| Cobb. II appeared, however, that he had da-
mond which he consulted, and had seen, he said,
this woman IN the stone, and she answered the de-
scription Of the who to assist in the search
for treasure. He advised Northrop to go and get

stars, and pray. do not tell fortunes for money.
look in the stone for people, and tell them what
see, ana they give me what they please. The resi-
| spirits talk at Brighton, and believed there was
money there. She said the 81 900 was urged upon
her by Northrop, and that she was only going to
| Oswego n three weeks visit.
The magistrate required bail Of Lambert and his
wife, in default Of which they were committed.
The witnesses in this case seem to be fully i'm
pressed with tie belief that spirits directed their
operations in digging, and we think that they will
not be likely to give up 1t would not be strange
fthey should follow her to the JAIL and there seek
| her aid in digging treasure.

heard from the police magistrate that Mr. Nor

TROUBLE AMONG TIE UrrER Ten CIRCLES or
New ENGLAND-THE BooTT FAMILY OF LowELL
AND BosToN.-Thc long promised answer of Ed
ward Brooks, Esq, to the pamphlet of Mr. John
A. Lowell, has just been placed before the public
from the press Of John H. Eastburn. 1t purports
to furnish facts and further proofs in relation
to the troubles in the Boot family These difficult
Ties are both Of a personal and pecuniary nature,
| and have excited the attention Of the supper ten
here not only on account of the social position of
the parties, the spice and talent evnced in the
troversy, the amount of money expended by both
sides, but as this mode of discussing family quar-
rcls is the only one left in community where
cowhidng Is vulgar, and duelling not only illegal,
but Questionable.
The new volume contains $50 octave pages which
are divided into 6S chapters. Truly a formidable
book. From cursory examination of ts pages,
find that il is written in q most admirable style.
The points clearly stated, and the argument is
| arranged by practised and skiltul advocate. The
tone and temper of the work will commend it to
| minds which have a natural distaste for volumes Of
| a similar class. The first query upon seeing so
poEderous a work, would be, who will read it? But
the talent and ability of the editors, aided by the
clear aud elegant Typographical appearance Of the
volume, will insure attention from readers. Ii is
| understood that Mr. Brooks has been aided in the
preparation OF this work, by William III. Gardiner,
Esq, Franklin Dexter, Esq, and Joseph 7. Buck
irgham. IL would be work of superogation to
speak of the great ability Of these gentlemen rs
| writers critics.
This controversy has already cost the contending
parties upwards Of $4,000 Mr.. Brooks, in a
| manner which reflects credit upon him az high
toned man, before he enlisted in this dispute, con-
yoyed all his rights and interests in the property to
one of the daughters of the elder MIR. Boot, who
had lost her share Of the estate by the failure Of
her husband. This was generous and noble gift,
and gave assurance to the public that the motives
OF Mr.. Brooks were Of a most commondable charac-
ter.
The impressive lesson, however, is taught the
great mass of the people by this controversy, that
| no elevation in the social scale, amount of
wealth, no family name illustrious ancestry
| can shield persons from the and troubles OF
life, ard all the annoyances incident to msrepre-
sentation, abuse and Islander. The names Of Brooks
aud Lowell are identified, in New England, with
those vast schemes Of improvement, and the agcn-
cies which have developed the resources Of this
country. For many generations, those honored
| names have been connected with the fGancal poll
teal, commercial and manufa ,turing interests Of
Boston. Those who read tho present controycrsi Al
works, viii be able to judge which is in the wrong,
| and which ono has successfully vindcatcd his 70.
