zssW hen Mister Impeacher Ashley, who
Pewed out of Ohio for Ohioe good, ar
rived at the capital of Montana, of which
Territory he has been appointed Governor, he
met with highly appropriate reception. A
delegation of the citizens turned out and pre-
sented him copies of the resolutions passed at
and indignation meeting at the time of his
appointment, which resolutions were not of
the complimentary nature. Those Montana
people are not the chaps to fool with.

An inquisitive urchin the other day,
while reciting lesson, says an exchange,
from the sermon on the Mount, broke out =
"Ma, did Jesus get $4,000 a year for preach
ing?"
''No, my child he did not get anything"
"Why didn't they pay Him"
''Because He refused to preach politics.
The devil offered him big salary to do it,
but He would not accept the call"

A Wonderful Discovery and Rich Haui
Of Treasure.

On Friday last, two youths were engaged
is searching for muscles in the falls of the
shenandoah, just below BerrY's Ferry, Clarke
county. One of the boys feeling a. hard aud
sleek substance, brought it to the surface, when
he found it to be, as he supposed tin box.
some six inches long, four inches broad and
two inches deep. Its weight excited their Gu
riosity, and observing clasp to it, they made
for the shore, and upon opening the box
found within one elegant gold watch aud
twenty.six rings, nineteen of them solid gold
and seven diamond. They took their treasure
and submitted it to competent judges, who put
the value of the diamond rings at 1926 to
$3.50 piece, and the gold rings, which are
very heavy, at $40 each The watch is val
ued at 500, and all we're in a perfectly dry
state of preservation. The boys made sec
ond search about the shoals, and this time sue.
ceeded in finding heavy silver table spoon.
The box containing the valuables upon ex-
animation, proved to be q beautifully chased
and engraved silver one, and its value cannot
be less than $50. Our friend Mr.. NJ. Harris
examined the box and one or moro OF the gold
rings, and informs us there is no mistake about
their purity and value. He did not sec the
diamond rings, but was assured by Mr.. Sherer.
Mr.. L. S. Smith, and other citizens of Mill.
wood, who had examined them, that they were
of great brilliancy and v6lue.
The suppostion is that the box was lost by
Blenker's Dutch during the war. 1t was
found only few hundred yards below where
some eighty three of Blenker's division were
drowned, whilst attempting to cross the Shen-
audoah at Berry's Ferry. on RATS, during the
high waters of 1862. The box, rings, watch,
&C., were doubtless stolen property, as the
thicving Prupensities of Benker's men were
manifested wherever the command was
ordered. IF this suppbsition in regatd to
this matter is incorrect, what hypothesis can
be offered in regard to the matter? OF the
.fttrt of its finding, we entertain no doubt, as
Mr.. Harris and the other gentlemen quoted
are perfectly reliable Vim. Times, dig. 25.

And taken him away
We loved him, yes we loved him,

Would could carcss him,
Bathe's now beyond the skies.
Our tears are falling fast for him,
He's in his low grave sleeping;
Our Perry early laid to rest,
He does not know we're weeping.
With pale and quiv'ring lips,
gave the last sad kiss;
All no one knows but me,
How my darling child miss
But the heavenly gates we're opened
And the Savior's voice said come,
And with Farewcll's unspoken,
Our Perry entered home.
Rest thee, my darling Perry,
The time know will come,
When thy sleep shall be broken,
To thee then can come.

He does not know our calling:
oh Perry dear! oh home Sereiti
For thee our tears falling.
We loved him, ah we loved him,
But the Savior loved him best,
Farewell TO thee dear Perry,

Farewell my darling Perry,
long and sad Farewell;
know thou art in heaven
And with the angels dwell.
