"A citizen of Edenburg, Clarion
county, bought a farm for 81 900 cash a few
days ago, and this brought to light the fact he
had in the neighborhood of $50, 900 deposited
in an iron box which formed the foundation
for one of the wooden posts that supported his
residence. The money had been buried for a

damages of an entirely new road, and that pe-
tltIoners are liable in all other cases. In an
opinion in case, R. d. No. Z, Sept. sessions.
