| CAPT. KIDDs TREAsURE.-The Ponnsyi-
van;an of Tuesday gives the result Of The
search prosecuted near Sing Sing, N. T.. bya
large number Of prominent Philadelphinns,
! for the buried treasure of Captain Kidd.
As the story goes this treasure Was revealed
to coored waiter at Sing Sing, in dream,
and visiting the spet in company with friend,
he found the gold. The two covered it up
again. and started for Philadelphia to awaita
more favorable opportunity to remove the mon
ey. The waiter who FIRST discovered the treas
ure apprised Philadelphia gentleman Of what
he had witnessed, and the two procuring
party Of sturdy police officers, sufficiently nu-
merous, as they thought, to overcome the ghost
Of the dctunct pirate captain ii it should at
tempt to interfere, started for the spot, and
excayated hole there largo enough to contain
a dozen men, At length to the joy OF oil, Il
pickaAe struck the lid Of the box. The coun-
teuanccs of the diggers boaued with delight
as they pricd off the cover and looked eagerly
over each others shoulders, expecting that
their eyes would be dazzlcd by the glitter of
tho precious metal. But alas for the vanity
Of human expectations. Instead of tho an.
ticipated treasure, hera lny reposing in the
IN he calm quietude OF death, a frcSA Filled
{ fabby cat. Horror aud CONSERVATION seized
. upou every one. At first they thought it was
the spirit appointed to guard the gold so wick
edly won, but upon second though, came to
the more rational conclusion that the friend
who had accompanied the waiter to tue spot
: had returned and distracted the money, le&v-
ing Tabby in its place. Some indeed we're 50
: foolish as to dls3eoVe the whole story, but
Q others ut last accounts were in search after
the man whom they believed to have stolen
the treasure troyo.
THa CIVIL WAR IN CaINA.--Tho circulars
from Canton to Sept. 23d speak of continued
y attacks upou the city, enc of which, on the
22d lasted Tor several hours. The Suburbs Of
Canton and the country for miles around have
been made desolate. The robe's were expect
: ing achievements, when the attacks ubon the
city would probably be more vigorous. The
amount Of tea received at Canton, so far the
present season, az compared with last year.
was very small.
NUMBERING AT THE LAKEs-Abont the I'M
bagog Lake there will be extencive numbering
: operations the coming winter. Three separ
ate parties have already fixed their location in
tie vicinities Of Moose!ama guutic and Cup
& suptuck. Should the snow tall in the desire
. time and quantity, large business will be
done about these waters.
