The Butler Herald tells the follow.

The Butler HeT0t6 tells the f0iIow-
lug story of treasure trove 10 Merl-
wetheF county. 1t says: awe learn
from citizen of our town who has
lately returned from the county
named above, that Mr.. Thomas Bows
den recently purchased some land
belonging to the estate of deceased
widow lady ofthe same county. Dir.
Bowden after purchasing, tore down
the old house for the purpose of re-
building, when very much to bis sur
prise he found a pot of silver that
had been buried beneath the building.
1t is alleged by some that the pot
contained fourteen hundred dollars,
but Mr.. Bowden says there was not
near 80 much. Mr.. Bowden claims
that the treasure belongs to him, but
nephew of the widow thinks the
money belonged to her for the fol>
lowing reason The widow, who was
not quite right in her mind, was fire.
quently heard to say while in life,
that she had friend, BILL Mitchell,
to whom she could go at any time
and get as much money as she wish-
ed. AS there was no gentleman in
the community of that name, it is
now supposed by many that she re-
ferred to the hidden pot of treasure.
Our informant had forgotten the la
dy's name"

IT is reported that the government
will make vigorous and unreIenting
war on polygamy in Utah. The
grand jury meets in Salt Lake City
next month, and for the first time
since the decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the Rey
nolds case 1t is understood that al
examination Of the Endowment
House will be one Of the first duties
of the grand jury, this being the
place where polygamous marriages
are contaminated. The United States

Reduction OF wages continues in
England. 1t is probable that the
weavers in Wigan will follow the ex
ample of those of the Victoria Mills,
and refuse to work. The Sunny side
Mills at Bolton, and seven of the
leading Preston manufacturers give
notices of further reductions. The
master iron sbipbuilders in the Sees
district will also request their work
men to accept reduction, bu! the
men will refuse.

.ldve any political out
Aovs5rlB6SM Massachusetts. Massachu-
sets is q Republican State, and a
man votes as he pleases, unless he
happens to work for mill owner,
when he votes as his employer pleas
es or is discharged. But there are
no political outrages. The outrage
at Fal! River was a mere display OF
lawlessness. The men, women and
children who were attacked, bruised,
wounded and almost k lied by au in
furiated mob we're not going to the
polls or even to a political meeting.
They were on their way to work
and were assailed on that account,
not because of their partisan views.
Therefore, their sufferings and the
lawIessuess by which those snfer>
ing were occasioned are Of no conse
quence; ard the good old Republi>
can State Of Massachusetts cannot be
held to any responsibility in the
premises.

affected with paralysis of the legs,
