one had been digging before them in
the same hole, and worse than all, upon
the top of the earth, leaped around the
sides, appeared an old rusty iron vessel,
which seemed to have been just dug
from the earth. The vessel resembled
in shape an old wash kettle. Some one
had been before them and after all their
gold which they had dreamed and
worked for had vanished into the poek-
cts Of some undeserving individual.
Words we've inadequate to express their
sorrow, prayers for redress sounded
like sacrilege, but they cooled their
wrath by repeating solemons proverbs
and portions of Shakespeare and then
adjourned to the nearest grocsry.
Strange to say they found an unusually
large crowd assembled, all of whom
Shen informed Of the circumstance
eelned to deeply sympathize with them,
and were eager in their advice as to the
manner they should proceed to recover
the treasure so stolen.
Suffice to say the old wash kettle has
been claimed by an old negro woman in
the neighborhood, who swears that she
had it stolen from her a few days before,
and there are two gentlemen of the
parish of st. Landry, VINO would not
Hesitate to raise row with any man

The stores were almost hiddcn by the whirl

be found to be valid and Gono ti0c BY the
Commission appointed by the Legislature
