AN IMPROBABLE sToRY-We were
told, few days since, in all serious
ness, by very reliable man of our
place, that the sum of $2S,6O had been
found, buried beneath the old water
house on the railroad on the west side
of town, by two boys, whose names he
gave, but as we have so little confidence
in the story, we will not publish at
present. The money was said to be
found in tin box, containing $4,000
in gold, $500 in silver, and the balance
in greenbacks. He gave us minute par
ticulars how the matter leaked out
about their finding it, and how they
had hid it again for safe keeping. We
let the story go for what it is worth, in
the meantime if any money has been
missing answering the above, some clue
may be gathered from this statement.
We have no faith is the story-Bucy.
