A STRANGE D1sC0yERY.-On Thursday
morning two brothers named Walton were
digging in the ground near the old tlume,
when one of their spades struck a hard sub
stance. Not knowing but what it might prove
TO be long buried treasure, the pair pros
ecuted their work of excayating with doubled
energy, and after a half hour of hard labor
they brought to light an oaken box, about
>! feetin length, Il feet wide, and one foot
high. The box was firmly bound and the
Lid screwed down The labor entailed in the
careful opening of the box great, but the
disappointment of the laborers was greater
when they found, in place, as they expected,
old gold and silver, what appeared to be the
skeletons of two men. The box bore the APP
pearance of having been buried in that spot
for many years. Upon d close examination
Of the skeletons it was found that in life they
must have been formed like the Siamese
twins, with the exception that they were also
connected by bone growing out from their
fifth ribs. The skeletons must have been
men about % years of age, Judging from the
well developed bones. The Walton boys will
take it to the Anatomical Museum at San
Francisco, where they expect to realize
handsome price for it. They contemplate,
however, exhibiting their find IN this city,

THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT. "A great
proportion of our best business houses have
taken new DEPARTURE in the closing up
line. In place of closing their stores at nine
and ten o'clock at night, the shutters will be
put up at eight o'clock in the evening. That
is as it should be. There is no policy in
overworking employees. They require amuse
ment and relaxation from work as well as
employers. Employees, take them en- nlasse,
are prone to feel more interest in the affairs |
of their employers if a little consideration is |
shown them, than otherwise. 1t is to be |
greatly hoped that this movement will not be
one of temporary enthusiasm
