SENTENCE OF THE MICHIGAN CoNsPIRA-

oners III the railroad conspiracy case were
brought up for sentence, al which hour the
spacious hall of the firemen's building was

nature OF the charge upon which they had

OF the testimony for and against them, and
laying down few of the rules of evidence
by which courts are bound 10 be governed.
He reminded them also, of the sad spectacle
OF body OF twelve men, heads of families,
citizens OF one village, brought up to be sen.
fenced for common crime in the peniten-
riary and he adverted with becoming terms
Of Reproduction upon the evil influences and
bad practices which must have eonspired TO
bring about so fearful result Judge w.

emplary character 10 his sentence.

Folly and FanGticiSm--D Digging for Treas
urea crowd of men and boys were gathered
about the old French fort on the west side yes
terday afternoon and again this forenoon. 1t
seems the farce of digging for treasure is again
in operation there, with the aid of what the boys
call "wtch." This has produced the interest
and called together an amused crowd. A young
girl, apparently Ii years OF age, said to have
seen this treasure in mesmGrc soep in Alba
ny is on the ground. She marks out a charmed
circle, and within that none but the gold diggers
are permitted TO enter upon pain of immediate
death. Some mtschevious boys dare to cross it
and came out perfectly unscathed. She sits up
on bank of n deep excavation and while work
ing, the men are not permitted to speak, she is
suing her directions in writing.
Preparatory to the commencement of the
work the Girl Gin Bloomer costumc) with solemn
gravity walks round the edge of the excavation
three times, and at a given signal, the men fall
to digging. Profound silence is observed by the
parties, and thus, for successive hours the work
goes on, unless interrupted by the Jokes or rude
wtticisms of those whom curiosity has crowded
into the ncighborhood. The whole scene is one
bordering largely on the ridiculous, but strongly
marked by guilibility. A police officer was pres
ent yesterday to preserve order. To-day the
number of spectators is largely increased, in con
sequence of the presence of the sightseeing
young miss who directs, with the aid of hor mes
merle eye, exactly where the treasure is buried
