A TREMENDOUS WINDFALL.


Ninety thousand Dollars Fshed up al
a Seine-A Mysterious Relic IF TIE
Revolutionary Times Who has
Right to tie Money, SC.
An intelligent correspondence at
Horse Head, Prince Georges county,
Md, under date Of July 22d. addresses
"The Clipper" tho annexed singular
communication. 1t looks very much
like hoax but may be true, and hence
we publish 1t for what it may be- worth
and no more:
"While MIR. Johns on was hauling
seine, few days ago, at Whites Ian.
ding, on the PaIuxent river in Prince
Georges county. of this State, he drew
mp chest containing ninety thousand
d0lfars, and small package. The
chest was perfectly water tight and
though the package was very mouldy,
yet the name of General Washington
could easily be distinguished in the SUI
prescriptions. Upon oponing the pack
age was found letter to which was
subscribed tho name of the then Prime
Minister of England, William Pitt
The substance of the letter is:-Mr.
Pitt says that after he had denounced
in the boldest terms, the injustice of
his country in imposing taxes upon the
Colonies, and also the injustice of the
war in the House of Commons, he was
met whilst retiring from the House by
a private person, who offered him six
ty thousand dollars for the purpose of
defraying tho expenses Of tho war, on
the part of the Colonies. This he &C.
cepted, and to which he added thirty
thousand dollars from his own pocket.
he closes by very eloquent eulogy
upon the course of Washington. The
letter was entrusted to one Captain
Taylor for delivery. How, or why, tho
chest camo where it was found is a pro.
found mystery.
The question now se-what is to
DO done with the money? Whether MIR.
johnson is TO retain it, or is it TO be de.
lIvered to the nearest relatives of Gen.
eral Washington, or appropriated to
tho uses of the Government? Will
some one we'll skilled in legal knowl-
edge, please inform through your COL

Indians i'm Kansas,

The Kansas micfthus describes the
manners of the Red Brethren" the
"dignilied savage Of the Wild" as exhib-
tied during visit which the good peo-
pie Of Kansas were happy enoug h to
receive from them on the 4th of the
present month. Those who wish To no.
tain the opinions of Indian character
derived from the writings of Poets and
h"manceS. had better never permit
their own five senses to have an oppo,.
tunIiy to become witnesses Of tho real
character and condition of the Indian.
After stating that the dress of the small.
Ter boys sis black mark drawn with
charcoal around each eye" he proceeds
"They hung around the outside Of
tho crowd, ready to "pitch in" when
the time should come. After tho Bar,
hecue had been taken of, then, came
their turn. They evidently went upon
the principle. gathering up tho frag.
ments, that nothing be lost" We doubt
whether they even left enough picking
for the pigs-but bread, meat, and ever
yihing else, were slowed away in their
wallets. We saw one fellow with three
huge loaves Of bread stuck upon stick,
which he carried before him, on his
horse, with as much pomp as military
commander carries his sword, Tho
scraps wero crammed into tho wallets,
and packed of 10y the women, on their

the wallets. If the saying be true, that
the proof of tho pudding is chewing

OF pudding proven among tho indiana.
10 give an idea of tho virtues possessed
by these wallets, we will state that,som
times the Indians are hard up" for eat.

and have a grand feast. The next day,
they hear that some one is about TO
kill beef or a pork. They arc on

arc taken out, souso they go into tho

ensues. Aud still the next day, pub.

More MOrmOnS Deserving,

From tho Plallsmou,h (Nebraska y
Jetfersonian, we clip tho record Of an
other arrival Of Mormons from over tho
plains. 1t is as follows:
A train consisting of about one hun.
dred persons, with twenty wagons, pas
Sod through this place on Friday last
on their return from Utah to the States.
They formed part of a company of two
hundred persons and forty teams; but
some distance back the remainder took
Tho road for Leavenworth. They left
Salt Lake about the 20,h Of April aud
were on the road u little over two
months. They bore the appearance of
persons who had seen much trouble and
privation-being reduced in body and
detected in mind. A more pitiable set
of persons we never beheld. Thew re-.
joiced that they had at last reached a
land whore they could once more live
at ease.
The account Of their experince in u.
tab was touching in the extreme. In
The narration of what they endured thew
seemed to approach tho subject with
reluctance, and feelings of horror in cal,
ling to mind their sui,erings, bu, in the
! course OF their remarks would invaria.
bly, become animated, and break out in
expressions of Indignation at the crueI.
~ aud oppression which they had en-
dured. They declared the whole sys.
tenn to BIO but grand scheme of rob-
berry and sensualiry on the part of,hose
in authority. 1t is not by direct com.
pulSion, that the property of their fol-
lowers is taken, but by means of relip.
ious enthusiasm. This is inspired bv
the promise Of great spiritual rewards.
and by setting before them the exam.
pie Of Scripture characters; that as .Dot,
received an increase above all his for.
mer possessions, so should they. by their
Seli-sac'iticing, reap an increased re.
ward, both of spiritual and temporal
| possessions.
After all their property was destroy
ed, then the policy of their rulers wo'd
change, and their conduct would be
such as TO say, Get away if you can. ~
| If any one should become dissatisfied
aud desired to leave. they were public.
ly denounced, and the whole church tor.
olddeh 10 purchase any property they
might wish to dispose Of. From tha,
day they would be subjected to the in.
suits OF the entire community if not alb.
solute danger of their lives. One per.
son stated that in order to get away he
had to sell his farm, clandesrinely at that
for sixty dollars. They reported that
one man went out with $4,000 and was
returning in the train with his team on.
y, aud had not enough TO eat. Ano,h,
er who had a farm worth there $1,000
sold 1t for S35. A man by the name OF
Geo. Brooks, Gf we recollect Alright !
who had considerable grain and goods
stored in his house, on mourning the dis.
pie asnre of the elders, had the sides of
his house Utterly stove in, and his prop
e'ty all carried of, he only escaping
! with his life.

McKim tie NUrderer-1tt
EscaPe.-Our readers are well acquain-
ted with all the circumstances attend.
ing the murder Of Samuel Il. Norcross,
last winter, at Altoona, by David Strin-
ger McKin-~the escape of the brutal
q cowardly murderer-his long and
untiring pursuit--bis final capture, tri-
al, conviction and sentence to death. -
Since his incarceration in tho Jail at
Hollidaysburg, he has per,inaciously
insisted Upon his innocence of the
crime imputed to him. and beyond all
doubt. of which he was guilty.
Mkim has been closely watched,
and securely as was. supposed, ranac-
led; but either on Monday or Tuesday
night last, he managed to cut in twain
the hobble about his ankles. These
irons were examined on Sunday night,
by the .jailor, and found to be in every
way perfect The only instrument dis
covered in his cell by which he could
have done tho work was common
case-knile, with a slightly hacked edge.
Had the discovery not been made in
time, M'Kim would, no doubt, have
successfully effected his escape. As
matters now stand, his chances are for.
ever frustrated, and tho gallows alone
awaits its victim. The day fixed for
his execution is the 2lst day ofAugust
next.
