Certain property stolen from Baltimore bank was found under rather peculiar circum- stances, recently A tin box containing $28,- 900 in bonds, with other papers belonging to Col. Boone, was part of the stolen property. On the 26th, young man hunting in some woods few miles outside the city saw two men prospecting with an iron bar, apparently searching for something buried. On Tuesday of last week. he saw two men digging at the same place, and they finally drove off without finding what they were iasearch of. At night the young man, with several friends, went to the spot, and, aftes digging while, unearthed a tn box, which proved. to be that deposited by Col. Boone, with all the stolen bonds and number of Boone's private papers, Hon, David Dudley Field has raised monument at the place of John Andres exe- cutipp, Dean Stanley, at whose suggestion the stone was erected, furnished the following inscription
 Here died October 2 178O,
 MAJOR JOHN ANDRE, of the British Army,
 who, entering the American fine
 secret mission to Benedict Arnold,
 for the surrender of West Point, was taken prisoner, tried and condemned as a spy.
 His death,
 though according to the stern code of war,
 moved even his enemies to pity:
 and both armies mourned the fate
 of one so young and go brave. In 1921 his remains were removed to Westminster
 Abbey.
 A hundred years alter the execution this stone was placed above the spot where he lay by a citizen of the United States against which he
 fought,
 not to perpetua5e the record of strite
 but in toKeR of those better feelings
 which have since united two nations,
 one m race, ia language and in religion, = i with the hope that this friendly union
 will never be broken.
