BURIED BARRELS OF SILVER.

From the Springfield Republican,
A good deal of dersion has been expended by the
newspapers, writes correspondent the abandon
ment OF the silver mining enterprise at North Dana,
because the miners said TO have labored under
pirual direction. Nevertheless II is well known that
the hlsdes in that vicinity abound in marble, soap
tone, iron ore, emery, &c, which sometime will be
eveloped and worked to profit And this recalls the
radition which has been handed down from years ago,
that Glazier Wheeler, his dying bed, wrote TO
Iorth Dana that two barrels of genuine silver coin
buried in the township Wheeler, in the early
settlement OF the town. 100 years ago. at the
time the notorious stephen Burroughs, forger and
preacher, supplying pulpit at East Pelham, had
in the hillside where he made spurious
ing dollar into three and this money largely
circulation at that time. But the knowledge of his
connection with Burroughs, who afterward
rested in this city for counterfeng and the discovery
of his underground furnace by some hunters made it
unsafe for Wheeler to remain al North Dana he de-
parted for other fields Several years after when about
TO die Wheeler wrote to acquaintance at his old
home about the two barrels Of silver which he asserted
filed with true Spanish dollars: but they have
never been discovered Wheeler lived on what is
known the Nathaniel Williams place, little south of
the village, and his furnace constructed
that he could enter by stepping Of boat the
river thus leaving foot prints to betray his hiding
place
