Searching for Buried Treasure.

Brandon and MiddletOwn are not the
only placesA,I Vermont whefe Grid
den treasures" of gold and silver have
been supposed to be deposited. That
troop of Spaniards which tradition
says passed through Vermont many
years ago, finding their gold and silver
too heavy for their ability to carry, de-
posted some of their treasure in GER
tain locality in the eastern part of
Essex. Here by the aid of the "witch
hazel rod" or the 'FmirrOr In the hat
the spot was said to be discovered.
and with Hanterns dimly burning" at
"dead of night" the favored few who
had been let into the secret, in silence
and in hope, dug away night after
night till ut length they came upon the
irOn-bound chest, which they were as
sured contained the coveted treasure.
But alas for human hopes and human
credulity; so OverjOyed was one of the
number at the prospective wealth, that
he broke the death-like silence with
his exclamation of joy, when the dim
lights were all eXtinguished, and the
chest of gold disappeared in the dark
ness. About the same time q similar
discovery of hidden treasure was re-
ported in the region of Rattlesnake
Hill in Milton and several people from
Essex, tradition has it, spent several
days and nights there in search for it.
They were successful in catching the
click of the 'rattles' of the enormous
snake which made its hahitation on
this hill, and gave it its name, but that
was as near as they got to the golden
treasure they foolishly sought Essex

Dangers of the Electric Light.

After the experience in Fifth avenue
recently there is no necessity for fur
ther expert testimony concerning the
danger from electrical lighting wires. A
runaway in the avenue broke down one
OF the electric-lamp poles and trailed
the wire upon the pavement A pass
ing horse stepped upon the wire there
was fash of purple light, report
like pistOl-shOt, all the lights on the
avenue went out, and the horse fell
dead. A moment later another horse
stepped upon the wire and dropped
dead like the first. The avenue was
Immediately closed to travellers of. all
kinds. OF course if Il person had step
ped upon the wire he would have
shared the fate of the horses. 1t was
a stormy night and there were few peo-
pie upon the avenue, or the consequent
ces might have been much more serious.
A wire which kills instantly every per-
son who treads upon it would be a
deadly thing for crowd to surge over.
Clearly the only safe place for these
wires is under ground, and the sooner
they are put there the better.-[N N. Y.

Protection i'm the sleeping Car.

The decision of the Supreme court
of PENNSYLVANIA affirming the judg-
ment of the lower court in the suit
brought against the Pullman Palace
Car company by passenger, who had
been robbed in sleeping car, will be
welcome tidings to American travel
lers. If this precedent can he estab-
Iished in other states passengers can
retire tn their sleeping herths with "a
feeling of security which they have
never known before. If their watches
and pocket-boOks are missing In the
morning, they will have the assurance
that the sleeping car corporation VIII
make good the loss, as 1t has been
forced to do in the Pittsburg suit. The
Supreme court rules that the company
is under obligation to exercise reason
! able caution and care against the prop
erty of the passenger being stolen
| from his clothes or bed. This obliga-
/ ton is grounded on the fact that the
passenger, who secures section OF
sleeping car, purchases the privilege
of sleeping, and that he cannot exer-
else that privilege if he is compelled tt
remain awake and stand guard ove'
his personal possessions. This reason

Lounsbery went into back room,
where he found a complete confeder-
ate uniform hanging over a chair. He
took IN the situation instantly and
donned the uniform as speedily as pos
sible, and walked back into the Office,
which he found vacant, and stepped
out into the street The guard did
not stop him and he had walked only
few steps from the door when a black
man accOsted him and asked if he de-
sired to find the way to Miss Van Lewis
house,. He replied that he did and was
guided to her residence on Church hill,
where he was secreted until an op-
pOrtunity was found to get him out of
Richmond He got off safely and came
into our lines. Miss Van Lew kept
two or three bright, sharp colored men
on the watch near Libby prison, who
were always ready to conduct an es
capped prisoner to place of safety.
Not all of them were secreted at her
house for there were several safe
plac,IsSl refuge in Richutond support
ed by her means. When Col, Streight
of Indiana and his comrades dug their
way out of Libby, he and several of
his comrades were secreted for several
days in the house of man named
Quarles, which was situated across a
ravine only a few hundred yards from
and in full view of the mansion Occu-
pied by jefferson Davis. But Miss
Van Lew was the guiding spirit, and
she it was who took upon herself the
dangerous duty of providing means of
maintenance and escape for such of our
men as were so fortunate as to escape
from the horrible walls of Libby. She
had farm in the country on the other
side of the James river from us and be-
low Richmond. Every day two of her
trusty negro servants drove into Rich
mond with something to sell-milk,
chickens, garden truck, etc. These
negroes wore great, strong brogans,
with sOles of immense thickness, made
by Richmond shoemaker whose

Lewis servants had two pairs each and

the same shoes they wore into the city
in the morning. The soles of these
shoes were double and hollow, and in
them were carried through the lines,
letters, maps, plans, etc, which were
regularly delivered to Gen. Grant, at
City Point, the next morning. The
communication was kept up ut our end
by means of a launch, which
used to land Il scout-usually Kearney

would communicate with Miss Van
