HIDDEN TREASURE IN MARY
LAND.

A correspondent writing to the Hart
ford Times from Washington City re-
lates It as fact; and of course 1t must
be, or else it would have never been
published by Connecticut paper, that
during the late revolution in this country
a soldier of regiment from that State
discovered mine somewhere in Mont
gomery county, Maryland, near the Ma
tional capital. and secretly worked it for
q time, selling to the Georgetown jewell
ers some two thousand dollars worth Of
gold. He refused to tell where his mine
was located, and upon finding that his
movements were watched by others,
gave up mining altogether. A couple Of
years after tho war was over the same
man made his appearance on the ground.
He told the people with whom he
boarded for several months that he was
o geologist, and that be was prosecuting
his studies among the rocks in that loca.
ton. Frequently he would send away
large trunks of the rocks which be
gathered in his studies. The inhabit-
ants finally discovered that it was gold
he was after, and their inquisitiveness
bothered him 80 much that be at last
agreed to tell the owner of the land the
place where he found his valuable rock,
upon receiving deed Of one-half Of the
land. The proprietor of the property
consented and the deed was properly
made out. As soon as the papers were
drawn up he drove over to Rockville,
Maryland. distance of about twenty
miles. It was very warm day and he
was overcome by the sun on his way,
and forced to remain at house midway
between both places for several days be-
fore he sufficiently recupsrated to finish
his drive. After recording his deed he
drove to Washington, and on his way he
had relapse, and was required to re-
main in Washington, and after few
days Of illness, he died, with the secret
still locked in his breast. The CORE.
spondent goes on with great long story
and says: ITO this day, the man who
decided away half of his farm does not
know where the gold mine is located,
although he has spent all the money he
could raise prospecting for it, but gave
up the job couple of years SINCE"
We have no doubt as to authenticity
of the correspondents letter. but think
it very strange that man, after several
years search, could not find mine from
which rock had been extracted on little
four.acre farm.

SHOOTING OF A PIOCHER.

We got the ann1ed item concerning
the shooting of Mr.. Sam Mahoney, OF

Mahoney has been resident OF this
place for several years and has always
bore the reputation of quiet and law
abiding citizen, being good father and
kind husband. Mr.. Mahoney's family

late ARRAY on the Typo road, is lying at
the County Hospital aud apparently
doing we'll. The wound is somewhat
infamed, but the physicians entertain
strong hopes of saving both the life and
limb Of the patient. Mahoney converses
freely and gives the following version OF
the shooting scrape. He says that he
arrived at the station at the same tune
as Doble, o fellow-teams'er who was en-
route to Eureka. Tho latter brought
three passengers. who, in company with
the drivers, ate both breakfast and sup
per at the station. The rule is to charge
teamsters so cents, and passengers rs
cents per meal. Two of the passengers
paid the amount demanded, 81 so each,
but the third refused to give more than
81. This angered Massey, and when
Mahoney entered be commenced abusing
him, saying that he did not want any
fraud OF teamster to bring any more
passengers to the station. A war OF
words ensued, and Mshoney claims that
Massey retreated toward cupboard with
the intention Of procuring a pistol, but
he. Mahoney, knocked him down before
he could get 1t, and. as he expressed 1t.

MY PantalOOns,"

A very absent-minded member Of
the French Institute was reading the
newspaper in the Casino at Dieppe
t'other day. EngroSsed by what he
was reading, his left hand uncon-
sciously pushed the files Of newspa-
pers on the table. Each moment he
pushed farther from him the pile of
newspapers. Beyond them was an
inkstand. Presently the inkstand
went over the side of the table. 1t
fell on the white trousers of a Paris
banker, who naturally-put yourself
in his place-was furious. The
guilty party offered his best excuses
without appeasing the ban k er's
wrath, who shrieked that his brand.
new pantaloons were ruined, "But,
sir, l will cheerfully pay for them
Be good enough to give me your
card, and will send the money to
your hotel" "TO my hotel! Sir, |
don't know you. 1 must instantly
have the thirty francs those. panta-
looms cost"
The guilty party drew forth the
thirty francs and paid them, Then
he said "Now that you have been
paid, l hope you have too much of
the delicacy of a gentleman to re-
main in my pantaloons. You know
those pantaloons are my property,
and insist upon their immediate
delivery to me. You had no conf
dence in me; l have none in you.-
My pantaloons," In vain the bank
er protested against such haste,
The crowd that had gathered around
the disputants said the member of
the Institute was right, and the
banker after sending for another pair
of pantaloons, surrendered the ink.
