Who was Guilty ?

"The man waits outside" said Mr..
Spencer Fenton's servant, as he stepped
in front of the law Office table, piled
with books and law papers.
Mr.. Fentons servant was man of
penetration, and knew where to draw
the dividing line between the common
place "man" and the gentleman"
" Let him come in," said Mr.. Fenton
quietly, as he took pistol from the
drawer, laid it ON the table and dropped
a newspaper overit.
Mr.. Fenton was lawyer of good
practice in large city, and was known
as widely among the class of customers
for whom he practiced as q celebrated
lawyer of "Great Expectations fame.
The man was admitted, and proved
to be sullen looking, british person
age.
Mr.. Fenton looked once ut The square
jawed, savage face, and gauged his man
Immediately.
"You may go, John" he said to the
servant. "Take an hour or SO to your
self if you like"
John went out and the lawyer then
took seat at the table opposite his
client, looking at him sternly.
"Now, my man. said he quietly,
"we are together, and want 90 know
exactly how this matter stands"
"I'm going to tell you how it stands,
honest Ingun, am"
every well. Now as to this bank
robbery. You say that you can give
information-fo consideration, Of
course?'
For five hundred dollars"
"Very we'll"
Then I'll tell you. The man that
put up that job is Seth Amity, the CASH
ier Of the bank"
Fenton started to his feet, and for
moment lost self-possession.
"Seth Amity! Man you are either
drunk or crazy|
"Be I? Then you take me somers
and git me swore to it. I'll take my
affidavy and whereas that he's the one
as put up the job. I amt going to
swear to a lie."
81 believe you'd swear to anything
for dollar, Senter; but that don't mat
ter. OF course if you can prove what
you say the man must be punished
Seth Amity. I would undertake to
swear you are lying"
CT amt, Mr.. Fenton, so help me, I
ain't. He's the man as done it; he's
the man as put the others up to the
fastenings and gave them the impression
to the safe key and the word to unlock

You seem to know q good deal
about this matter"
"Course I know about it. amt

to make another haul on the bank, and
they are going to meet to arrange it to-

precious Seth Amity amounts to-"

SAVING Soil FOR EARLY Hor-REps.-Those
who design TO start hot-beds in February or
March. before the ground is thawed up, would
do well to prepare some rich, fine soil now, and
protect it from freezing solid through the win :
ter. This may be done by putting il in pile
in the hot-bed, covering with straw, and then
covering the frame with boards TO prevent snow
and rain reaching it. II il should be sli Chilly

VICTORIOUS DIeAPPEARAro. OF Rich
WoNAN.-The town of Easton, Pa, has an in
terestiDg case of mysterious disappearance, that
of Mrs. Carrie Cornell. She went to Easton.
about a month ago, and took quarters at the
American hotel, where she gained the reputa-
ton OF being very wealthy and exceedingly
agreeable. She told her landlady that she was
. widow, having married when fourteen years
old, and lost her husband four years after, and
also stated that her father and mother we're
still living in Boston, while she had Q brother
and sister in New York. Her father, she said,
had treated her very unkindly, and, though she
had given him $4,000 to conciliate him, his
cruelty drove her away from him. She had re-
peatedly said that her life was perfectly wretch
ed, and one day asked man If death BY drown
ing was an easy one. He answered Affirmative
ly. On the evening of the 10th of the month
she retired rs usual, saying laughingly to Mrs.
Fisher, her landlady, that she was going to
make her will, and asked what she should give
her. Mrs. Fisher, in joking way, designated a
beautiful wicker hamper in her room. The
next morning, Mrs. Cornell was found to be
gone, while her room was in great disorder.
There was some Paris green in the room and
some evidences that she had taken an overdose
of it. She left card referring to what she had
heard about the ease of death by drowning.
She also left q note bequeathing all her pro-
perty to Mrs. Fisher. Her wardrobe, which was
very rich, would indicate that she possessed
considerable wealth. The prevailing theory
about her disappearance is that failing to kill
herself with the Paris green, she drowned her
self in the Lehigh river.

A MOUNTAIN OF GoLD.-The San Bernardo
no (Cal.) Argus, of Nov. q, gives this extraor-
binary account of recent discovery. II sounds
like the stories of the early days of California:
"JOhn Brown, Jr.. arrived here yesterday, and
has set the town wild with excitement BY re-
porting the discovery BY Charles Carter of the
richest belt of gold quartz which has ever been
discovered in California. The lind is situated
near Bear Valley, this side of Holcomb, which
has been travelled for the past twenty wears.
Carter was riding leisurely along, with his eyes
upon the ground, when he saw something glst-
en- in the sunlight. and Immediately stopped his
horse and took another look. His curiosity be-
came more and more excited, and, with his eyes
hxed upon the glistening spot, he dismounted
and fastened his horse, and proceeded to inves-
ugate the mystery. Upon approaching the
place and examining 1t, he became convinced
that the shining mass was pure gold, aud as
large as pea, and upon further examination
he became convinced that he had indeed struck
one of the biggest gold lodges in California.
For 20 where he would the gistening jewels
would present themselves. The rock was per-
was broken off, and in different localities, but
the same result was there-gold. 1t is said that
one piece, about the size Of q mans fist, con-
tains, on close estimate, 800. Carter says the
ledge is fully six feet wide, andstands up about
that distance, and upon all sides, where he has
broken off pieces, does 1t show the same I'M
bounded richness. Brown showed us piece as
large-as q hens egg, which Is perfectly alive
with free gold. When the news reached Hol
comb valley, work was suspended and every
body proceeded to the new FL Dorado, and the
work of laying off and stalking out claims was
the order of the day."
