OLD MURDER-TREAsURE FoUND.-The Gala
veras Chronicle of June 25th gives this account
OF recent treasure found, in connection with a
murder perpetrated some years ago:
On Friday, the 18th instant, as a company o
Italian miners were sluicing in Wet guch neaI
Whisky side, they washed out of the bank a tin
box containing 81 ,572 in individual " gold
coin There was Il fifty dollar 'slug" among
the rest. The lucky finders of the treasure were
at work on the old Hamilton ranch, close to the
site where a Frenchman called Jerry" kept a
store in early days. AS long as 1882 GERRY
was murdered IN his store, and it was supposed
nt the time that his aSsassins secured the money
he was known to possess aud made good their
escepe. Since the discovery of the treasure by
the Italians, however, the most reasonable con-
lecture is that he buried the money, and that
those who imbued their hands in his blood OBJ
tanned nothing but guilty consciences to COM
pensate them for their crime. The box that con-
ianed the money was nearly eaten up with rust,
but the coin had been undisturbed since depos-
tied in the earth for safe keeping. The money,
we believe, was coined by Motfat 4 Co, San
Francisco. Thus, after lapse of eighteen
years, 10y one of those queer, inexplicabe freaks
OF wayward fortune, is peaceaby unearthed an
object to possess which human blood has been
she'd and another link added to the chain that
binds our recollection to the dark and bloody
LITTLE CoRPoRAL."-We received this week
the Lale Corporal magazine for July. We con
slider this publication worthy of patronage
The present number is greatly enlarged and i'm
proved. The publishers claim very great in
crease in circulation, which justi6es the addi-
t0nal labor and expense bestowed upon their
magazine. This number begins a new volume
and now is good time to subscribe. One dol

WAR has been declared between the rings of
the Erie and Central railroads in New York.
Fisk and Gould control Erie and Vanderbilt the
Central combination. Vanderbilt has an inn
mense advantage. Fisk ard Gould have already
feathered their nest handsomely out of the un-
fortunate holders of shares in Erie, but ought to
be sagacious enough not to attempt to measure
purses with the iudomitabe Commodore
Way is 1T T?-The statutes enacted by the last
Legislature Save not been received in this
county. A portion of the laws passed took eff
feet Immediately. Confusion and possible loss
TO individuals and the public may be occasoned
through ignorance of what is the law and what
Is not. The statutes have always been received
here before this time Further delay will be
aggravating.
