A MARVELLOUS SToRY.-The Brockport, N Y.
Republic has the following, which comes under
the, head OF marvellous, if true:"-
About three years ago, girl was walking on
the beach of the lake, north of this place, with
young man to whom she related wonderful
dream of the previous night, in which it was re
vealed to her that she should find large sum of
money upon the shore The young man was to
have half for assisting her in the search. Direct
ly they came to dead body, which, from appear.
ance, and the size of the head (nsary as large as
. bushel baskeD had evidently been in the water
for some time.
''At the sight, they both tainted away. but soon
recovered, and venturing to examine it, discovered
about II a belt containing large package of mo
ney in bills-this they counted and found the
amount as stated
They buried the body to prevent discovery.
and also the money, which they agreed not to dis
turb for three weeks. At ths expiration of the
time the young man returned to the place; the
money was missing. His companion acknowl
edged she had taken it, aud would take care Of ii
until, he was twenty which would be in three
yeafs.
LAS the time has expired, he demands his half
which she answers by denying the whole state
ment. The young man tells friend and it
spreads like wildfire. Report says a large com,
pany of men, armed with spades and shovels, are
to day looking for the bones of the buried stranger
The excitement has been very much increased by
the fact that propeller was wrecked there three
years ago. and that gentleman, supposed to be a
Spaniard, stranger to the passengers who were
saved was lost.
Some parties, formerly rather hard up report
says have been very lush of late, specializing
very largely in real estate and making great show
generally.
'LATER-We just learn that bones answering
to the fact of the burial have been discovered in
the woods about half mile from the beach,
