DIGGING FOR MoNEY-The desire to become
suddenly rich without labor and time usually
requisite to an honest acquisition of wealth,
prompts men to do many very foolish things.
Near South Bay, in the town of Fort Ann,
there is q place known as the "Picket," where,
in the old French war, General Putnam with
his rangers surprised and captured body of
French and Indians Tradition says that large
amounts ofspecie were buried in that vicinity,
and for so or Is years there has scarcely been
q season in which somebody has not dug for
it. but without getting paid for their pains.
This proGtless labor, for the most part, has
been performed by persons from distance, to
whom, it is said, the story Of the concealed
treasures has been revealed For a couple of
weeks past some men from Orwell, Vermont,
have been assiduously digging up clay dirt and
hard heads" of the "Picket," encouraged in
the laborous task by the revelations of fortune
teller Of this village, who looks through dia-
mond," and designates the exact localities in
which the precious stuff is deposited Up to
last accounts their search had been unsuccess-
full, and they had abandoned the Picket"
and were digging in the dooryard Of the man
who boarded them. Probably he will encour.
age their labors till he has got all their money
for board, and then generously advise them to
quit.
Another company said to be from Ores
den--have occupied the field on the " Picket"
abandoned by the Vermonters, and are pros
ecuting the search with all Diligence. They
will be more likely to succeed, as, it is
said, they are believers in spiritualisn, and
have procured the services of " medium
through whom they invoke the aid Of the
mighty men Of yore." They called on St.
Paul for help to remove a rock which was in
their way, who replied through the medium
that he was engaged, and advised them to in
woke the aid of st. Peter, which they accord
ingly did. Peter, they affirm, rendered them
the service asked for, for the rock Immediately
yielded to their levers. What deplorable su-
perstition and consummate folly!

IL Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
the public is attracting great attention, moi only
by of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are great number Of people who are af
aicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his rem
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed, has attractedthe attention
of all sufferers from headache who have heard of it.
From our own knowledge of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
cine deserves the favor il receives, and that il will
prove TO be great benefit to all who may give il

INCIDENTS OF THE ARcTIc.-While Captain
Luce was preparing one of the boats for the
reception Of the company with Mr.. Gilbert, he
found two fremen seated in it. He ordered
them out one Of them replied that his life was
as good as that Of any one on board. Captain
l.. raised carpenters mallet, and threatened
him with death if he did not instantly obey.
Upon that he drew knife-he did not use it,
however, but sullenly left the boat.
AS regards Mr.. Gourlie, Capt. Luce thinks
that by the time the engines had stopped work
ing, the Arctic must have gone fully fifteen miles
from the point where he last saw him, and told
him they could not wait for him.
One of the passengers saved on the wreck
with Captain Luce and Mr.. Allen was an intel
lgent young German, 20 years old, named
Ferdinand Keyn. He is native of Sender
company with Captain Christensen, who had a
ship lying at Baltimore Young Keyn had had
some FIVE years experience on the sea, and
was about to become second mate of Capt. C.'s
vessel. Mr.. K states that when he sank he
up seized adoor that was floating by. He sub
sequently left this and seized a chest, but this
going down, he made successful effort To
reach the paddle-box.
On this box he says he found Mr.. Ireland,
Captain Luce, young Frenchman, whose name
he did not know, Mrs. Wilkinson, wife Of the
steward, with her two children, and several
others.
Mr.. Keyn has obtained strong hold on the
affections of all he has met. Captain Luce
speaks in the highest terms Of his gentlemanly
bearing and kind department. Mr.. Allen, his
fellow sufferer has decided to take him into his
employment at the Novelty Works. AT Que.
bee, sos was subscribed for him, and on the
cars other sums we're generously contributed.
