Seeking for Tressuro-Twcnty.f -four
Hnura In Nan YnrI AaMera

The particulars of a singular case were de-
yeloped this morning before Recorder Pope,
at the Hoboken Police Court. A man who
appeared to be intelligent and well educated,
was brought before him, charged with being
suspicious character. Early this morning,
about half-past four, the prisoner was ar
rested after having come of Hoboken ferry
boat. lie was encased in rubber boots with
high legglngs, had on a rubber oyercoat and
cap, was besmeared with mud, and carried
with him q well filled carpet bag. Officer
Burke, who effected his arrest as a suspicious
character, took from him his carpet bag,
and, on examination, found II to contain old
watches, silver spoons, knives, jewelry, bot
ties of liquor, q considerable quantity Of old
pennies, some OF an ancient date, ten cent
pieces, silver pencil cases, finger rings Zone
Of which Is supposed to be valuable diamond
ring), together with various other articles.
On being asked by the Recorder as TO how
he had obtained all that property he gave
the following very singular explanation. He
said his name was John W. Creye, and re-
sided Down East. About year or more
ago he read paragraph In the New York
papers, giving an account Of how woman
and boy found considerable treasures In the
sewers of that city. This thing haunted his
could better find property than any body else,
he determined on going treasure-seeking, and
for that purpose provided himself with map,
showing the sewers Of New York, with a
compass, with a six-shooter to protect him
self from rats or whatever might impede his
progress, candles, &c. Downing his water
proof apparel, he entered, on Tuesday morn
Ing, q sewer on Houston street, near the
East river, continued his explorations
for twenty-four hours, and came out this
morning near the Hoboken Ferry, with his
carpet bag well stored with property. He
took the boat for Hoboken for the PURPOSE
of washing and cleaning himself In that city
preparatory to seeing his friends In New
York. Everything indicating his story to be
true, the prisoner was discharged from Gus
tody.-N Y. Com. Advertiser, 24h.

GRAPE CULTURE.-Sincc.thc termination Of
the war, efforts for introducing the culture
Of the grape on an extensive scale In Upper
Louisiana, have been made. These efforts
have been attended with the most successful
results, and the planters OF that section are
very sanguine Of soon being able to turn out
large quantities of wine. Experienced
grape growers have long been Of the opinion
that both Louisiana and Alabama could, by
reason of their soil and climate, become
formidable rivals to European wine produc-
ing countries. Here is unquestionably
another source of Southern wealth, which
only needs energy and industry to he de-
vclopcl.
