WEDNESDAY EyENa. FEB. %, 1871.
A fortune for somebody.

Some fifty or sixty years ago, says the
North Bridgewater Gazette, Massachu-
sets paper, man by the name of Isaac
Phillips went from North Bridgewater to
the Southern States, and engaged in the
business of buying and selling slaves. lie
amassed handsome fortune in this nefari-
Gus business 1t is said that be deposited
some forty thousand dollars in some bank
in New York city, where it has been on
interest ever since, and for which the bank
officers are now trying to find an owner.
There is of course considerable scrabblng
for that large amount of property. 1t is
presumed that he left no children. There
are great many nephews and nieces of
the above named Isaac Phillips in Easton,
Stoughton, the Bridgewators, and in the
region round about these towns. The
point now to be proved, is whether the
Isaac Phillips aforesaid is the one that de-
posted that money in New York. If these
heirs can prove that he really was the
man, then the money is theirs.
There once lived in a small cottage on a |
cross-road leading from Dickermans cor
ner in this town to North Bridgewater, an |
old lady by the name of Susie Phillips. |
bno opt'tihcu uet lNcliuOOu ny uralulng
straw and fitting boots. She guarded her
huckleberry pasture with vigilance, and
woe betide the children that dared to fill
their baskets from its bushes The old
lady died five or six years ago, at an ad-
vanced age, and at her request the large
family bible containing the record of the
Philips family was placed under her head
and buried with her in her grave. II was
thought that this bible would be of service
in looking up the pedigree of the Phillips
family, and last week the grave was opened
and the bible taken from beneath the
head of the deceased. 1t has not yet been
opened, for after lying SO long under
ground it was in very bad condition.
When they shall be enabled to examine it,
some light may be thrown upon the sub
ect Of the early history of the family.

From the Cincinnati Christian review. !

IT appears that the Doay Gazette OF
December II, 1870, published letter over
the signature Of |. T. e., in. which the
writer says that Mr.. Pownall was
drowned while being baptized at Sand
Hill, Lewis county, Ky. The Herald and
Presbyter, a Presbyterian paper of the
largest circulation in the West, also took
it up and pushed the statement as far as
possible among their patrons aud rea lers.
10 our last issue q correspondent who
writes over two stars, calls attention to
the statement and asks few pertinent
questions about it. To relieve him and
the rest of our readers who may have seen
it in the papers, we refer them to the fol-
lowing letter from our good Brother III. B.
Taylor, who was the administrator upon
the occasion referred to, and whose letter
sets the whole matter right 1t turns out
to be wilful and malicious lie:
"Messrs. Editors, My attention has
lately been called to an article, published
in the Daily Gazette, of December II,
1870, said article being in the form of
letter written by some scamp under the
signature of |. T. H., and detailing mar
riage and baptism, or rather drowning,
which be says occurred at Sand Hill,
Lewis county, Kentucky. The facts in
the case are as follows: November 81, l
married Mr.. A. Pownal, of Ohio, aud
Miss Mary j. Wilson, of Wilson's Bottom,
Lewis county, Kentucky. Oh the follow
ing Sunday morning immersed Mr.. Pow
nall in Crooked creek. Not the slightest
incident occurred to mar the beauty and
solemnity of the occasion, as more than
one hundred persons present will testify.
81 notice this base letter, because the let
ter as published in your paper has been
extensively copied in other spapers, roligi-
GUS and secular--East, West, etc The
Days Doings has quite graphic picture
of the attempted baptism, resulting in the
drowning of the candidate. Many preach
ers have used it as an argument against
immersion. Many letters in reference to
the reported case have been received by
the friends at Sand Hill, from Illinois, In
diana and Ohio. hope, therefore, that
you will be so kind as to publish this If
| thought the writer Of tho aforesaid letter
was worthy of any notice, should feel
like asking you to give the world his true
name. l. L. H.. / suppose, had purpose
in the thing; SO had every man land some
perhaps better one) who to-day are doing
our States service in their penitentiaris.
Respectfully,
II. b. TAYLOR"
