Metcalfe q Bros Excursion.

Messrs. Metcalfe & Bro, the enter
prising implement dealers left yester-
day with an excursion party of over
fifty prominent farmers to visit the
manufactures of the rorthern cities.
As stroke of enterprise this is Jew
and original conception and one that
no one but a wide-awake business
man like c. w. Metcalfe would ever
have originated or put into execution.
He procured exceedingly low rates
for the party, which is composed of
some of the very best farmers
Christian, Trigg and Todd counties.
They left yesterday morning and will
be gone for week Or more. The

A Buried Treasure.

About three weeks ago, a stranger,
named Jno. l. Kirk, from Nation,
ILL.,, came to this city and staid few
days. lie did not tell anybody his
business and nothing was known Of
him or hi affairs. While here he
met Mr.. q. b. Bostwick, the Quar-
termaster Generals agent, located
here at that time, who was also from
Nation, and he told him the follow
ing story, which Mr.. Bostwick re-
peated to US subsequent to Kings de-
parturc:
'In 1864 while / was in the FEEDER
al army ana in camp at Trenton,
Tenn, fellow soldier, a half-breed
Indian, was dying and called me TO
him aud told me that he had buried
jar of gold coin at Hopkinsville,
Ky, which III would dig up nigh,
have. He said he had buried it back
Of the Lunatic Asylum, fifteen feet
from a certain eulvert, under a syca-
more tree, four feet from its trunk.
| wrote down his directions, but uu-
fortunately lost the paper, and al
though remembered distinctly the
minute details, | could never recall
the name of the town. A few days
ago while going south on business,
heard some gentlemen talking ON the
Train about Hopkinsville, KY, and
the Asylum there, anu suddenly ii
flashed upon my mind that Hopkins
vile was the place where the dead
soldier had buried his wealth. Upon
Inquiry | found that we were near
ilopkinsville, and 1 determined 10
stop and investigate the matter. l
got off and after knocking around a
day or two, went out to the place
designated and sure enough / found
tie culvert, the sycamore fifteen feet
from il and everything as the soldier
had described 1t. l began to dig
under the tree, but careful search
failed to discover the buried treasure.
Subsequent investigation developed
the fact that negro woman several
years after the war ended, found a
candy jar somewhere in that locality,
probably under that very tree, con-
tanning $l,0O0in gold. SO conclu-
ding that this was the money spoken
ofby the dying soldier, and that his
story was therefore true, / ceased to
search for it and will return to-mor-
row."
This is the story as told by KIRK.
Whether it is true in whole or in
part we do not pretend to say. 1t is
a little out of the usual order OF
things and not altogether without in
terest and therefore we give it for
what it is worth.

Fire at Kirkmansville.
Sunday Night, Oct. It'll, 1888.

Sunday Night, Oct. 7th, 1888.
Mr.. EDITOR:
AS many Of your readers and our
friends would like to know the facts
in regard to the fire, if you will be so
kind l win give you what l am in
possession of in detail. The fire
originated in j. j. Shanklin's store
house, built and formerly owned by
Mr.. X. f. Bass. The fire occurred
about II 80 o'clock, p. NJ, and was
first discovered by Mr.. j. N. Nc
Gown, our saddler. He had just re-
turned home about III o'clock, and
about twenty minutes later was re-
firing to bed when he discovered the
light shining in at his window, and
he at once gave the alarm which soon
brought everybody out, and to work
they went. The first work was to
save the store house, of P. B. Robin
son, now occupied by d. d. Gates,
standing only about twenty feet
from the one on fire, as dry as a
powder house and covered with pop
lar shingles. The nearest water was
about sixty or eighty yards and that
In a well with no way of drawing
but with bucket. But our ladies,
like those Of old, were at the wells
and cisterns to draw water, while the
men, boys and children carried as
water never was carried, and with
wet quilts and blankets, and an un.
swerving energy the store-house was
finally considered safe, and then tC
Mr.. L. N. Bobbitt's dwelling which
was only about ten feet from DR.. V
I. Shelton's office which stood IL
fur feet of the store and had al
ready taken fire. So by the sam,
means Mr.Bobbitt's house was saved
but not until il had caught fire thre
times, and the understanding wa
drawn loose by the heat Of the fire
so the two buildings mentioned wer
/. the onl, two burned, but had it no
been for the still night it would hav
destroyed everything in our it'll
I town. Anyone who has not wit
messed a fire in town, care no

Keene's Riohelieu.

The great tragedian, Thos. w.
Keene will appear at the Opera
House tomorrow evening in the
play Of ''Richelieu." The Courier
journal of Oct. 81, 1882, had this to
say Of his rendition of the character
In some respects Mr.. Keene is the
finest Richelieu OH the American
stage. In delicacy, subtlety, finesse,
in that art which hides art, it is moi
the equal of Booths; consequently, in
the first two acts of the play Mr.
Keene, though doing excellent work.
must take a second rank. But in the
latter petitions of the drama he has
no superior; there are indeed times
when he is greater than all others.
In imprisoned scenes Mr.. Keene is
in his sphere, and where he succeeds
IL mastering them, instead Of allow.
Ing them to master him, he is at his
strongest. AS Richelieu he succeed
ed in doing this fully. In the fourth
act he is unrivaled, and his curse
scene is certainly more striking and
electric than tnat of any other Richie
lieu. However, his Improvisation of
this part has twice been fully noticed
in the Courier Journal, and it is con-
sequently unnecessary to say more.
except it bears evidence Of careful
and well-directed study. The audi
ence at night was a splendid one.

excitement it causes, but | do think
1t was the most orderly crowd / have
ever seen in anything in the way of
excitement, and l could not applaud
any one more than another for
what he did, for all did whatever and
all that could be done. So hereafter
when any of you know you are 60
ing to have fire, send for us and
give us three OF four dozen water
buckets and you may lay your en-
gines in the shade and 90 to bed. AS
to the losses we cannot tell just what
amount Mr.. Shanklin lost; he had a
policy on his stock and storehouse to
the amount of 500. He lost all his
books and papers, in fact everything
he had. AS to DIR. Shelton we saved
his medicines and furniture, but his
house not being insured was total
loss. There are various opinions as
to the cause of the fire; some think
it was set by rats running over, or
carrying off matches. Others think
it was set accidentally by cigars be-
ing thrown down or candles left
burning. A few think it " as set by
a malicious party, but / am Of the
opinion it was done accidentally or by
rats carrying off matches, for l can
not think our town harbors such a
wretch. We all regret very much
we could not save anything for Mr..
Shankiin as he was away from home,
having gone to Elkton, but it was
impossible as the roof of the house
was falling in before any one could
burst in, and when the doors were
broken open the flames just filled
them up. As TO DIR. Shelton's effects
we did al, that we could have done
had he been here, he being at Elkton
also. This is our frs: fire and We
trust the last. We understand both
parties are going to rebuild at once
and will soon fill up the desolate
corner. So these are about the facts
from all l can find out and l was
one of the first to get to the fire and
saw the last of it. So with three
cheers for the people of Kirkmans-
vile in time of fire I close.
p. b. r.
p. S.-Please say while all Of Gates
goods in his store were carried out,
also Mr.. Bobbitt's entire affects in his
dwelling not thing was missing in
either. So much for our peoples
honesty. P.B. X.
