dreamed that thieves broke in and
stole his eight hundred dollars in gold. |

kept was broked open. The Norris |

by good spirit, and we don't attempt |
to contradict it; but we have our pri- |
vate opinion about spirit of any kind
mat prompts men to keep $500 in gold
hidden away in old boxes or musty
5tumps, such times as these" We are
decidedly of the same opinion as the
whatever that may be.
