able story, which, if true, would 90 to de-
monstrate that either Capt. Kidd or some
body else did really bury gold on the banks
OF the Hudson. The story is, that some

Hudson River Railroad dug up three earth

to secrecy removed Immediately to the West,
where they are now living, wealthy farmers
The Press says that the amount they obtain

and thinks there must be more still left in
the spot whence this was dug. But the
men are said to have obliterated all traces
that might lead to the discovery of the exact
scene Of their operations. This story reads
