has lately been exploring the State of Yer
mon, in search Of the precious metals, and
has found deposits OF gold on the Gulf
Stream, SO called,in the south western part
Of Plymouth, at the head of Black River;
also in the towns of Shelburne, North Sher-
burne, S,ockbridge, Pit,sfeld, Barnard,
Bndgewater and Woodstock, on the Que
chee. The gold thus found is purer than
that found in California, and is worth one
dollar more per ounce. In some of the pla-
ces enumerated above, Mr.. Henderson got
fifty cents worth of gold from pan of dirt,
which would be considered more than
fair yield in the California diggings.--Free
