ANOTHER !SToRY OF KD's TREASURE
The New York papers have story told by a
canal boatmen, Jerry Lanigan, of the recoy-
cry OF portion, at least of the long hidden
treasure of Capt. Kid. He says, as our boat
was about six miles below West Point. I saw
three or four men, who seemed lifting some.
thing heavy. Then they began to swear, and
at last got to fighting. took three of the
hans and rowed up near there. They were
still fighting. We went ashore. There was a
big piece of the side of the mountain blown
out, and a hole made down to the water Big
rocks were thrown about and in the place
where these fellows were fighting was an old
rusty iron box, filled with gold pieces They
had their hats and pockets full, just like these
(showing seven splendid doubloons). They
said they had been digging for Captain Kids
treasures. Others of the Godey's hands zorro.
borated the story. The treasure seekers say
they we're directed to the spot by clairvoy
ant, and that they secured over $1,000 in Span
ish doubloons, and some iewelry.

THE trial of little John Butler for the killing
OF Gustave THAI, juvenile associate, will be
commenced in Hudson county, N. j., this
week. The prisoner was ten years old in Au-
gust last. He lived in Greenville at the time
OF the homicide. The child was playing ball
with Gustave THAI and several other boys.
The ball was knocked over into fenced gar
den, and little Johnnie ran after it and threw
it back. On his return THAI was throwing it
up and catching it, when little Johnnie asked
him for it. THAI continued pitching it up,
when little Johnnie pushed his playmate and
'he missed catching it. THAI, who was the
bigger boy, then knocked little Johnnie down,
and the latter arose and inflicted the fatal blow

many is far ahead of this country in point of
education. We have not far to look for the
reason of this. Compulsory attendance is the

What do we mean by free schools? We mean
that all may attend. Is this all? Many sup
pose that the schools is free in the same way

them to use and not abuse it. The idea of an

Discovery of a New Manuscript
Of the Pemtateuchs

Most of our readers are aware that the
originals of the Books of Scripture are not
now in existence. Copies in manuscript,
technically termed c0dices, are all that we
have now to depend on. The earliest codices
of the Old Testament extant are the Spanish.
They may be attributed to the ninth or tenth
centuries, and are held in high esteem by the
Jews, as it is asserted that they were corrected
by the CodeX Hillel, manuscript supposed
to have been of hoar antiquity. Neverths-
less, the Hebrew scholar has often wished
from the bottom of his heart that a copy of
the ancient Scriptures might be found which
belonged to the halcyon days of the sacred
tongue, when every king was commanded ''to
write him copy of the law in book" Per-
haps this wish may be gratihed at an early
day, SO far as regards the Books of Moses.
Hebrew was originally written in o differ
ent character from the one now in use.
though cognate to it. When or why the
change was made, is an undecided question.
Most likely, during the Babylonlan captivity,
the children of Israel learned to write their
language, which was like the Chaldaic, She
mitic in the Chaldaic character; and con.
tinued to use that character after their return
to their own country. But scholars are not
altogether agreed upon the matter.
J The Samaritans-a mongrel people who in
