ton arose among the laborers whether it
was dry enough to be carried into the
barn. 10 test this lighted match was

the hay. One of them then thought of his
vest, in which he had a small roll of green
backs, and which he had thrown down
somewhere. He found the place where he
had left it. and that's all. The swamp
now resembles burning Vesuvius, as
underneath the surface there is peat to the
depth of eighteen or twenty feet, and which
is on fire and will probably burn until the
swamp in inundated by the fall rains.
