HIDDEN TREAsuRE.-.n an old house, not
over a hundread miles from Lewes, has been
discovered trea sure of very ancient origin.
We have seen one of the coins, and pronounce
it to be All old Portuguese Joe. The money
had been wrapped up very carefully ii, species
of hair. cloth, but time, with cankering tooth, has
nearly made finish Of its texture. The house IN
which the money was found, can be traced
back for period OF one hundred and so years.
Who shall say by what hands the deposit was
made. The mind very naturally goes back to
the time when some stray private from the
vessel of Capt Kid, or some other bold sea-rov-
or, stopped at Lewes and carefully secreted his
hord, 10 he enjoyed at future day.-Le'ces

. SERIOUS TRoBLE IN SPAiN.-King Amad-
Gus of Spain, it is said intimates his desire to
resign and go back to ltsly. This is Monday
nights d. spatches, perhaps those of a day later
will say nothing about 1t, though the rumor ap-
pears TO be well-founded.
The situation of Spain is pronounced to be
really serious, the Carlists having possession OF
eight provinces, and the troops act only on the
defensive. Thus, after all the assurances we
have had from, day to day that the Carlists
were mere handful aud everywhere fled be-
fore the troops, shows that crisis Is really al
hand.

!Singudar.-A very large number Of persons
ATTENDED the sale of the personal property of
the late Chalkley Bullock, near Centre Meet
ing house, in Christiana Hundred, on Satur-
day last, being influenced more by desire to
inspect the premises Of the deceased, than TO
purchase. Mr.. Bullock seems to have been a
suspicious character, and had arranged look
out from the third story so he could see every
one who might approach the house, and If
need be use his gun or pistol to defend his
property. The most curious circumstance,
however, about the premises, is a cave In the
woods, under large white oak tree. lie not
only had excavated the earth so as to afford
standing room but had followed the tree dis
lance of ten feet or more, above ground so that
he could crawl up into 1t, and look out through
small apertures he had made for that purpose
and to admit the air. This must have cost him
great deal Of work, and the object Of It can
not be understood. Some suppose he had
money secreted in the vicinity. He lived alone,
and the gene raj opinion seems to be that he
shot himself purp1sely and not accidental y as
he stated. In the house there was great col
lection of sm1ll articles and they sold at moder-
ate prices. The horse brought SO, cows SIS
TO $50, a fat pig that would weigh 275 pounds,
$50, wheat Sl.3Jper bushels, corn 10 cts, po-
tatoes Sips, apples 90 to $500

Tie Modoc war is 10 cease on our part until

make through n special commission now on

tried. The chief of the tribe seeing that it is
submission to the mild forms Of the President
or humiliation, will not be long In making a
choice. The most humane part Of the affair Is
that after these savages have slain so many o.
our troops they are to he forgiven and provided
