from John Smith. "u ell known citizen of
Wisconsin," from which we clip the fol-
loving extract. We fear, however, the
writer has given great latitude to bis pen:
There is gold here--iots Of it. The go
piers dig il out of the ground by The bushel,
and in the moonlight the whole ear,i for
miles Ground looks like heaven with it's
myriad stars, or like pretty girl with yei
low freckles. The woodchucks dig out
bushels and bushels of it, and the snakes in
this country ldok like gold ones from crawl
ing among gold chunks. 1t is found in all
sized pieces, from the size Of a hens egg
up to the bigness Of large stone, and of
the finest quality. We have raked to-
gether what lay louse on an acre Of ground
and have twenty-two piles about as big as
a large sized hbystack. Last light two
hundred Indians came to rob us of set OF
silver spoons and fine comb that my wife
had to use on the children, and we barrica.
ded our house with ROCKS of gold till they
could not gain admittnnce, and were forced
to beg to make friends with US.
