MYSTERIOUS MINING OPERATION Bostsn

MYSTERIOUS MINING OPERATIoN.-The Bostsn
Journal gives the following account Of mining
operation which occurred on the sold Boylston ~.
tate" so called in Boyston street, Roxbur', and
which, upon being made known, create no little
excitement and speculation in the in.nediate neigh
borhood, as to the probable ca.ee Of the affair It
appears that hole, three or four feet square
at the surface, was dug near the foot of large an
pie tree, where the soil or sod is not known to have
been disturbed for period of at least six years
After digging down two or three feet, the miners
continued their excavation in q downward. oblique
direction, between two very large roots, which were
scarcely grazed while other roots of less size
severed, as with single blow, from some sharp in
strument, until the hole reached depth of five or
six feet, and passed directly under the trunk of the
tree. When first discovered Yesterday morning. the
roots which had been severed were replaced, thus
showing that whoever made the excavation, proba-
lily intended to leave the ground in nearly the same
condition as il was before being disturbed, but that
for some unknown reason the operators left without
50 doing. Upon removing the loose earth from the
hole, which was done by DIR. Wing and his SON. they
found every appearance, at the bottom of the hole
q square box having been removed from the spot
This, however, is entirely matter of conjecture
The entire lot Of ground in which the hole was dug
heing completely sodded, and the fact of the Dig
ging having taken place in the nighttime, coupled
win the TACT that two three cart-loads of earth
were removed, has led several persons to the belief
that treasure buried there several years since.
by parties who were subsequently imprisoned, and
upon being released from confinement, have ex-
humed their dearly earned and long buried booty.
the perpetrators must have worked hard for tbs
pleasure Of humbugging the public. The place has.
been visited by q. large number OF persons, ba,h
ysstcrday and oday.

this; the cattle should be kept in moderately

For winter feeding, cattle should get their food
as regular as the feedes.-Dry hay is sorry
morsel, day in and day out, and especially heated
hay, that miserable stuff, deprived of half its ori

This kind Of hay is too plenty. Potatoes and
turnips, or cabbages and bruised indian corn
should be given to all cattle young and old, at
least once per day during the winter season.
Every farmer should have large iron boiler in a
well.buit shed, and food should be boiled in it

On Cattle Feeding.

As this is the season when feeding cattle for
winter beef is prime object with all farmers
and also when he should prepare to lay out
system for winter feeding, we presume that few
remarks on this subject will be as words in right
season.
In great many cases cattle feeding is badly
managed on account Of irregularty. Although
this is so common, and the consequences so pal
pable, yet it is point very apt to be overlooked
If we were to ask six people how they use a GER
tain kind of food for their stock, we should pro-
badly get as many different answers. Some may
use hay and turnips, giving plenty of the former,
and sometimes of the latter, just as they find it
convenient to provide them. The hay is given
in large quantities at one time with the injunc'
ton to let them have more till they have
finished what they have got. But the best me-
thod in this is on the principle Of little and Of
ten. One day they get turnips in such large
quantities as to produce the symptoms and no
doubt some of the effects of securing, and at
another time they have so few that they are bound
up in the bowels And after trying this up-and
down way of it for time, it is found out that
the beasts hardly pay the expense of carrying the
roots for them, aud the whole plan is condemned
as improbable. Perhaps some artificial food IS
used, instead Of giving it regularly as to time
and quantity, they get it just as it suits the par
ties in charge and as the beasts eat it readily,
and anxious to get it, having no stated time for
that, they are always on the lookout whenever
they sec the feeder, and are deprivedof that rest
which they ought to enjoy.
A good plan for feeding is to give the cattle
hay when they are cleaning out in the morning,
then give each about bushel of turnips, and
litter them deep, and after breakfast give each
about another bushel of turnips, or half turnips
and potatoes cut up, and leave them till noon ;
this is for stall feeding. The cattle want to lie
soft, and enjoy rest in order to grow fat. About
one o'clock, they should get another feed of tur-
nips, and few potatoes, about quarter of q
bushel of each, and at o'clock a feed of good
hay. At o'clock, P. NJ. they should get some
