SHIP YARD.-A meeting of all in favor of
establishing first class ship-yard in this city
will be held at Harmonic Halt Tonight
Among those who will be present will be a
practical ship builder from the yards in Balti-
more aud the Washington hayward, who con-
templated establishing yard here before the
present effort was commenced, and who will
have with him Well considered plans and speci
fcations of the proposed yard. \ northern
capitalist will also be represented Now that
the site has been procured. SAC, 900, it is said,
will put the yard iu efficient and complete
working condition, and it is not doubted that
that sum can be raised. No one who is at all
familiar with the shipping business Of the port
has doubt that the investment will be prof
liable one. The sum required to be raised is
expended annually in Baltimore on repairs to
Alexandria steamers, and that is but IA small
amount in comparison with what will be speut
here on repairs to the numerous vessels trading
to this port and the ports Of Georgetown and
Washington.

TREASURE TRovE.-The Washington Chron'
icle, of this morning, says:

ice, of this morning, says:
A few months since farmer residing on the
Potomac river, a short distance below Mount
Vernon, and whose name has military prefix,
thinking our banks were becoming "shaky,"
concluded to take from one of them the snug
little sum of SIS 600, which he had deposited q
short time previous. Finding that so large a
glass case" he held con ultaton with his wife.
when i! was agreed that they s. Guild pant it in
some obscure spot on the farm which was scarce
" ever travelled, and where no one would be
likely to lind it. So, in the darkness of night
with pick and shovel in hand, they proceeded to
3 beautiful spot under u tree, and after digging
hole about two feet IN depth, deposited" the
amount, com posed of money and Government
bonds Little did they think, however, that their
maReuvres were being watched By their over
seer, named jesse Pollette, who, after the owner
and his better half had left the farm for Wash
ington, corcluded that the FERTILIZER was en-
tirsly t. o much for the soil. Accordingly he dug
it up, and hearing that fair exchange could be
made in Newark, Ohio, he started, with his wife
Mary, on Western tour. He got us far as this
city, and after regi tering his name and that OF
his wife at one of our fashionable hotels, sug-
ges,ed promenade, in order to view the city of
besutifui distances; but scarcely had he strolled
block when he stumbled across Detective
Coomes, who extended to him pressing invi-
tation to accou, pany him to Police H"adqusr-
tiers; This he consented to do with I'll the Dig
nifty Imaginable and on searching the woud-be
wool-dealer S., 100 consisting of three 81, 900
bonds, two $1,000 bills, and one 500 bill was
found upon him. The military hero, who all
this time WAS unconscious Of what was transp!r-
ing. WAS at once summoned and from the regis.
tered numbers on the bonds fully identified
them as his own. Mrs. Polette was furnished
quarters at Il hotel, and her unlucky husband
locked up tc await the action of tho auth rites
of Virgins, as the offence was committed in that
State
