Treasure Troys.

The publication of the article in this
department last week relating TO the
burying of large sum of money some
where in the vicinity of Hanover by a
trooper during the passage of Kilpat-
rick's calvary division in June, 1868 and
the search being made for it by various
parties, has ELECTED the fact from respon-
sible parties, that some years since, q
well-to-do farmer residing In Conowago
township, Adams county, near McSher-
rystown, about two miles northwest of
this place discovered buried on his prem
ises q large sum of money, the exact
amount of which could never be defin-
itely ascertained. Whether this was
the Identical money buried by the
soldier referred to, is matter of conjec-
ture; but sufficient was learned to know
that 1t was quite large sum, enabling
the lucky finder to pay off a number of
mortgages and judgm ents resting
against him, and making considerable
addition to his farm. Many parties in
the vicinity where this party resides,
are fully cognizant of the fact of this
discovery of the money, and the uses to
which 1t was put, as indicated.-Specto-

and laces worth many dollar a gold
watch and chain, and two valuable
bracelets were found in the trunk. In
another trunk large pocket book we'll
filled with bills was found by the fortu-
nate pilots.
In fact, they had bonanza, and they
worked IL for all It was worth, having
gold watches, diamonds, well-fllled wal
let's, elaborate clothing and many tons
of valuable freight as their reward. In
deed, the latter was In such vast proper
tions that teams were employed for sew
eral days In hauling their find, and
large lighters were loaded with produce.
AS before stated, the secret was faith
fully kept Monday and Tuesday, but
when the matter leaked out late on Tues
day night the whole city was alive with
excitement. Everybody that had q
boat or could borrow one, or press one
into service, hled away to the beach,
Nor was this wrecking fever confined to
the Mlnorcan, or negro, but business
men and clerks for the time turned
wrecker, and the beach was thronged
with anxious hunters for the cast up
treasures of the sea; Notwithstanding
the pilots had the cream Of the find, and
only the gleanlngs remained, yet enough
was gathered to repay them all richly,
and enable the major part of the popu-
lation to dispense with hog, millet and
homlny, and live on the succulent ham,
preserves, canned goods, and wash 1t
down with either wine or ale.

An Old Adage Knocked to Pieces.

1t isa common saying that lightning
never strikes twice in the same place."
but it is refuted by the following incl
dent, related by the Cleardeld Journal !:
" In June last, post on the farm of L..
d. Weld, in Beccaria township, was
struck by lightning and badly splinter
ed, and the rails resting upon it were
mashed into pieces. The fence was re-
paired, but scarcely had this been done
until, during the month of July, the
same post was again struck and the rails
shivered to atoms. Again the fence
was repaired by the planting of new
post, and again during the month of
August the lightning struck and demol-
ished the new post and fence adjacent
thereto. AT last accounts the fence was
again in perfect condition, but there is
no likelihood of anybody sitting on that
post to watch the progress of thunder
storm. The lightning is probably at
tracted by the outcropping of some min
eral substance"

A RaseaIIy Fellow.

A young woman about eighteen years
of age, neatly dressed and of prepossess-
ing appearance while walking along
street in Pittsburg on last Sunday night,
was brutally assaulted by a young ruff
fan, who sprang upon her from crowd
ON a corner as she approached, and
struck her three times in the face with a
hand-billy. The poor girl screamed and
then fell insensible to the pavement. A
crowd collected speedily, and the injured
girl was carried into house and doc
tor summoned, who found that her nose
was broken, her jaw shattered and sew
eral teeth knocked out. The fiendish
assailant escaped, but the police think
they know him, and hope soon to have
him in their grasp. No cause is assign
ed for the dastardly deed. If caught,
that william should be sent to the peni-
tentiary for not less than ten years.

soIvlna a Dimculty.

A young man and his girl arrived at
Chautauqua at late hour in the even
ing, and after careful and anxious search
the only accommodations to be secured
were found to be one small room in
cottage. Then was presented dilem-
ma. To occupy that room together
would be manifest violation of the
proprieties of life; to return home was
impossible-the last boat had left. For
either of them to sit up and pace the
grounds the long night through, or
occupy the chilly canvas cot in the
breezy amphitheatre, was an alternative
not to be thought of. Genius solved
the problem. A minister was sought
out-a very easy task at Fair Point
and in few minutes short ceremony
was said; the twain were husband and
wife; John Backwoods and his bride
occupied the little room in the cottage
together, and the proprieties were pre-
served intact.

A Sad Accident.

Friday afternoon sad accident oc.
Cured In Huntington resulting In the
death OF James Lytle, seven-year old
son of III. M. Lytle, of that place. A
number of men were trying the capaci-
ty of several steam engines. AS one of
them belonged to the town was being
pulled along the street by a number of
men, including Mr.. Lytle, that gentle
mans son ran out to catch hold of the
rope near his father. Just as he was
about to grasp 1t he fell and before the
ponderous machine could be checked
the front wheel passed over the child's
breast and the hind wheel over his legs.
The poor child was picked up and ten
derry cared for, but lived only about
fifteen minutes.

In Trouble From Kindness.

Sheriff Hoffman of Butler, Pa, was
arrested for "misdemeanor in office in
permitting James Borland and Edward
McTiernan to run at large unlawfully."
Upon oath of Samuel Rea,, Borland and
McTiernan were both convicted of
crimes and sentenced to pay a fine and
costs, and were discharged under the
Insolvent Laws after being in prison
ninety days. McTiernan was 95 years
of age, and the allegation is that the
Sheriff did not lock up the old man in a
cell, but allowed him to sleep in private
apartments and to be outside of the Jail.
The Sherif's reason for this treatment
was that it would be inhuman to incar-
cerate SO old man In the close confines
of an iron cell, and would probably re-
suit in his death. Borland is also an
old man, and the allegation is that the
Sheriff allowed him to attend church on
several occasions. Both men were SUBJ
sequently discharged by the Court. On
writ of habeas corpus the Sheriff was
discharged, and the prosecutor was di-
rected to pay the costs. Politics was at
the bottom of the trouble.

publlcans look for a majority Of $4,000, and
vote Of about $4,000. The principal feature Of
the Arkansas result Is the victory OF the debt
paying faction over the repudlatonists. The
fight was against the so called Fishback
amendment. IL was proposed by this to
amend the state Constitution 60 as to prohibit
the Legislature from making any provision for
interest or principle Of certain State improve
ment bonds. At the Democratic headquarters
In this city they are exchanging congratua-
tions over the position taken by Arkansas.
zenas F. WILDER, who resigned the position
Of examiner Of interferences In the United
Safes Patent Office TO attend to the Patent
business OF Edison, the inventor, is In the city.
He says that there is now being put up in the
wood around Menlo Park number Of lamps,
and at an early day experiments will be made
which will demonstrate fully the success Of the
Edison system Of electric lights. The great
difficulty, which is now being overcome, is to
get an engine suited for the purpose. Such
engines are row being built, and when com
plcted, MI. Wilber says, will be the last link
necessary TO complete In detail the Edison
theory. Without such an engine Mr.. Wilber
says that TO light Pennsylvania avenue with
electricity II would be necessary to lay O.
sheathlng Of copper along the entire surface.

Get Out Your Furs.

Furs will be extremely fashionable
next winter, and more fancy furs will
be used than ever before The manufac-
turers are making up finer class of fur
lined garments, and these, 1t is said,
take the place of seal garments, mainly
in consequence of the very high price of
the latter. Black dyed lynx and fox,
silvered hare and fox, silvered clipped
coney and brown and black dyed beaver,
will be largely used. Chinchilla will be
more costly this season than last, on
account of the prevailing war in South
America.

Elections of Last Week.

Elections were held last week in Ar
kansas and Vermont.
The returns from number of counties
in Arkansas indicate the election of
Churchill democrat for governor, over
Parks, greenback by a majority ranging
between 10000 and $4,000. From re-
turns received and as estimated by those
best informed, 1t is believed that the
proposed constitutional amendment re-
pudiating certain state bonds will fail to
receive majority on all the votes cast
as required by the constitution to insure
its adoption.
In Vermont the republicans make
considerable gains over the vote of 1875,
and elect the governor by $4,000 major
ity, and all the members of Congress-
The State Senate will be entirely Re-
publican with one exception.
