Among the many strange events that now
and then stsrtle the community, an occur
renee Of q singular and unusual character
was developed yesterday. Ten years ago an
Irish lahorer on the Panhandle road, by the
name Of Carrighan, pitched his ''shanty"
near Holidays Cove, West Virginia, oppo-
site this city. With the aid Of an industri-
Gus wife, they soon had nice garden patch
near the proposed new road, and they pros
rered, the husband and wife working and
outstanding their earnings. Carrighan was
eccentric in his notions, and by far too reti-
cent in telling his wife what he did with his
wages. as he would disappear from his home
on receiving his pay, but return the next day
without telling his wife word as to where
ne had been or what disposition he had made
of his money.
Two years passed, and the economy Of tho
couple, their honesty and good management,
must have pnt them in easy circumstances,
but upon this question Carrighan was singu-
larly silent. One day in the Spring Of 1864
Carrighan left his home for the last time
tor while working at cut in the road rock
fell and crushed him to death. The sudden
blow to the wife produced alteration of the
mind. left as she was without the slightest
knowledge of her husbands financial condi-
ton, and without friends and kindred.
For seven years the widow labored ass;du-
ously to provide bread for herself and family,
and, although considered of unsound mind.
administered to the wants of her charge with
all the kindness Of mothers disposition.
She always contended that her husband had
his money secreted about the premises, but
the most careful search failed to produce the
slightest trace of the missing money. Yes
terday, however, the mystery of ten years
was cleared up, and the partially deranged
woman was brought by the blessing of God,
to full return Of her senses, by the finding
Of the hidden treasure.
The discovery was made by man named
Scott, who was working in the cellar of the
shanty occupied by Carrighan at the time Of
his death. He discovered buried in the
earth an old coffee pot. Upon lifting the
talf-decayed vessel from it's resting place he
discovered the money so long lost In the
pot WINS found 800 in silver, 33 sovereigns,
and S645 in American gold-in all 5000 in
specie. The glad tidings were communicate
ed to Mrs. Carrighan while she was a. work
over the wash-sub, and the mony passed to
her charge. This morning she deposited the
entire sum with the firm of r. & T. Mears of
this city.-Steubenrile Herald, Sept. l4h.

Used. it was resolved to compliment him with
q song composed for the occasion. The per-
formers were all Frenchmen. and none Of
them were very conversant with the English
language but the best among them was se-
lected, and when the curtain rose the Gen.
eral, who sat in the stage box, was surprised
at hearing his feats recorded in song to the
tune of "God Save the King" The chorus
will give some idea of this song, which afford
ed much mirth to the Americans who were
present:
