UutOld Wealth Disclosed by a Lucky
Fall1,

Perhaps richer specimens, but certain
ly no more beautiful ones have ever been
taken from any mine than are now be-
ing obtained from recently discovered
lode in Jimtown. The story runs that
for months the miners in going to
and from their daily labors, have
travelled along a certain path, wearing
the earth away to rock. A vein was
was thus brought to light which presen-
ted no attractions to the prospector, and
was trod upon as of no account. A la
borer, two weeks ago, swung sledge
upon his shoulders and started early in
the morning for his accustomed toll upon
the mountain side. Reaching the vein
he carelessly allowed the heavy stone
breaker to fall upon projecting point,
and thereby detached several pieces of
the vein matter. The white character of
the rock and its glittering particles, dis
closed to him one of the richest mines in
the world. Liberally full were the white
specimens with bright PARTICLES of almost
pure gold; and, although a shaft has been
sunk to the depth of nine feet, the rock
increases in richness, and ut the bottom
very thin strips OF wire gold seem to hold
together the fragmentary parts of the
vein matter. Untold wealth is the sure
possession of the men, Nirden and Griffin
who own this treasure vault of the hill.

CENTREyILLE, Del, Jan. Il, 1871.
Mr.. G. p. Johnson; Dear Sir.-Think-
ing perhaps you would like to hear some
thing of the saying and doings of our
quiet little village and neighbourhood,
send you q few lines to let You know
what we have been doing for a few
months past, There is very hOurishing
organization of Odd Fellows mo. 81 in
the neighbourhood and our Gange, No.
IL. They have both occupied the same
room for some time in the cid tavern
house, rented from Mr.. George Landcas-
ter. Some time last winter proposition
was made by one of the members OF me
grange to build house suitable for the
occasion so that they might have per-
manent place of meeting A subscription
for stock was opened and it was a'cer,
tanned to erect a good and substantial
brick building % by 45 feet, three stories
high, the first story to be occupied as
store room; the second as a lecture room,
and the third by the Odd Fellows and
Grangers.' A stockholders meeting was
then held and a board of managers elec-
ted to purchase piece OF ground ana
have n house erected. In a few days
they fixed on piece of land belonging
to a very old lady living in the village;
but it was thought that she would not sell
her about it. However, the committee
went to see her and told her their busi-
ness. The old lady listenced very atten-
lively while the committee told her what
they wanted and what they intended to
do, that it would entrance the value of
her property and be an ornament to the
village, &c. The first question she asked,
are you going to sell whiskey for if you
are you cannot have it, and If you are
not you can have it, for Centreville has
been dead for many years now, and l
hope you will bring it to life again. The
ground was purchased, the building erec-
ted, and on Thursday evening, December
%, 1876, grand opening with supper and
concert was held at the hall, and | guess
the old lady thought that Centreville had
not only come to life again but that she
had went fair crazy when she heard the
sweet and enlivening sound of the Roke-
by Band together with the merry gingle
of the bells of hundred sleighs. The
band serenadea the old lady before leav-
ing and she w9s asked the next morning
what she thought of it and she replied
that she thought very well of all except
that big drum and she thought every time
they bit it, it would bust her head.
The supper and concert was great sue
cess and ON the following Tuesday even
ing, the young folks of the neighbour
hood had party and had lively time.
The third story has been very handsome
ly fitted up for the Odd Fellows and
Oranges to occupy and on Saturday even
ing last it was dedicated by a number
of grand officers of the Odd Fellows
from your city who installed the officers of
the lodge.
James H. Gould, has purchased a house
and lot of Thomas Dolton, for $1,000.

CoNTEsTING THE WILL.
The following mysterious statement
recently made its appearance in the
columns of the Liberia, an Italian jour
nal.
The succession to the property Of
Cardinal Antonelli will give rise, it is
said, to trial which will excite the in
teIest of the public in the highest degree.
The Signora - pretends that she has a
right to a portion Of the heritage, mas
much as she was bound to the late Car
dinal by ties of relationship of kind
delicate and sacred above all others. His
brothers, who are his heirs, absolutely
deny that the Signora - has any sort
of claim whatsoever; and are all the more
resolution in denying it, in that they think
they are best defending the memory of
their deceased brother. All attempts at
arrangement having resulted in failure, it
seems that the trial must take place.
