MYSTERY. Considerable curiosity
was excited. yesterday, by the report
t!.n: several tin boxes, containing valua-
blcs, had been dug up on the premises
of Col. a. Il. Taylor, corner Laurel and
Assembly streets; ;11that the information
rs to the location of the buried treasure
had been conveyed by lifc-prisoncr in
Sing Sing; that money, diamonds and
jcwelry, to the amount of several thou
sand dollars, had been recovered; that
the diggers had suddenly disappeared,
etc. Upon inquiry from Mr.. Wells, who
occupies the old mansion, we were in
formed that Detective Beatty had re-
ccived information that a box, contain
ing u valuable diamond and other small
articles, was hurried about eighteen
inches below the surface, in tho vicinity
of an out-building and near q fruit tree
in the garden. Permission having been
given, several hands were put to work,
and after digging along two cotton rows
and commencing third, the mysterious
sardine-box was upturned, and, without
opening it, Mr.. Beatty carried it off. He
has promised, however, to give us full
information relative to the matter to-
day, which we will promptly 10y before
our readers. Whether the box contained
the missing Augusta diamond, or some
of the property stolen by Shermans
bummers, it is impossible for us to say.

vacancies recently created, which In effect re-

Walker have been appointed to fill the places
made vacant by Messrs- Rosenthal and Hayes;
but neither OF those gentlemen has as yet at
tended meeting Of the Board; and one Of
them, ID am credibly informed, declines to be
qualified, and yet refuse, to resign, holding over
to tho exclusion OF some active and efficient
member OF the Board.
In regard to my own action, might very we'll
decline explanation to your Honor, since my up

THE "POST AND MAIL"


For about week past It has been pretty
generally understood that the Post and Adst
Newspaper had been purchased BY Maj. a. ".
Edwards, Secretary Of the Protection Life In
suranca Company. That gentleman was called
upon by TRIBUNE reporter yesterday morning
nt lis Office on Randolph street, when the fol-
lowing conversation took place: -
Reporter-Major, il it true that you have
bought oy.t the Post and Mail and has the trans
fer been consumated?
Mai. Edwn1dB-I don't know; do you?
Rep.-I came here to find out from you- Havo
you purchased tho paper
Maj. Ell guess go.
Rep.-When do you take possession OF it
Mai FL don't know. Whenever l can get
bold Of the stock.
This was all the information that could be
cleaned from Mai. Edwards. The reporter
learned, however, from other sources, that the
sale had been fully cousummated, but that some
of the stock was not yet transferred. This WAS
OWING to tho fact that it WAS held BY certain
estates and the transfers could not be made un-
til sanctioned BY the courts.
A portion Of the stock OF the value Of 81, 600.
is tied up in the Cook County National Bank Tor
debt Of $15, 600, owing by w. II. Tavlor to that
institution. Wednesday last MIR. Burley, the
Eeceiver, filed petition for the release OF
alG. 0CO Of tho stock, in the United States Dis.

time. Mr. TAYLOR proposing to deed farm OF

THE ROMANCE OF A POOR YOUNG GIRL
AND ITS UNHAPPY ENDING.

On Hoyue street, in small ivy-ciad cottage,
resides with her irascible widowed father ro-
mantle young girl named Florence. She loves
dearly to build castles in the air, teuanted BY
herself aud fairy Prince whose wealth is only
equaled by his beauty and surpassed by his af-
lection for and towards her. Her father is fear
fu lest the girls head should be turned by read-
ing the Ledqer and tho Warerly and similar
publications, and is apt to remark in an unfn-
1sbed manner that If he thought she waa getting
any Of that into her head he'd do his duty BY
her as a father should. Florence is employed in
hst-factoTy. A few days ago she read In the
Narerly the following romantic item:

Committee on Markets will meet to-morro"

by afrording the department. the services OF
another Sergeant in tho outside districts.
Mayor Colyin's proclamations are not always

them, aud so yesterday the City-Hall WAS COM

ing over anniversary ills at his home.

HUNTING a MARSHAL.
Yesterdays doings brought to the surface TWO
new candidates for the vacancy caused by the
resignation Of Marshal Dunlap, and both of
them are considered moro suitable in son1o
respects than any who have yet been mentioned
in connection with the position. The Germans,
seeing that their countryman, the former super
intendent Of Police had been superseded BY an
Irishman set about looking up another Lands
mau " to take the Marshalship, and they have
succeeded in bringing up Charles Kern and Gen
r. II. Dlger. Mr. Kern ia well known
as former Sheriff in Indiana, and
might make very good Marshal here.
Gen. Digger il even still better suited Tor the
position. He is thorough soldier, and was
formerly the Adjutant-Genezal Of this State. Il
he js fortunate enough to secure the nomination
from the Mayor, there will be no doubt Of hit
confirmation Kern ought to hare the makingf
of a good officer in him. and has the advantage
over Gen. D1lger Of being more generally known
and, therefore, ought to be more certain of the
nomination. The statutes regarding the quallt1'
cations Of a City Marshal put an end to all the
Inspirations Of AID. Hildreth and Bchafner. The
other candidates for the Office, such aa Phi
Wadsworrh r. E. Goodell, and Conrad Folz, are
not understood to be pressing their names fo1
the poaition. III other words, they are In the
hands Of their friends.
