GOLD IN LAURENS DISTRICT

We saw, says the Laurensville Herald, on
Monday Last beautiful and rich specimen of
gold, picked up by child upon farm about
seven miles from this place. There were three
pieces which had seemingly been cut from each
other to get the rock out, and weighing about 27
pennyweights. Being pure gold, without any
Observable impurities of rock or gravel, they sold
for near their true value, S25. This is perhaps
the largest nugget of gold ever found in our
State-
