Money in a Fox Hole.

The Carlisle Herald, of May 29th,
publishes the following: We have
been reliably informed that Mr.. Wash
ington Bear, who resides at the foot
Of the North Mountain, in Perry
county, about two miles west of Ster-
retts S Gap, one day last week, was at
work on the North Mountain. His
dog accompanied him, who during
the day gave chase after a fox which
run into hole among some rocks
Mr.. Bear went to where the dog was
barking, and, cleaning away some
ground and stones, he caught hold
of wire which he discovered stick
ing out of the hole, and after digging
away the ground several feet deeper
he found the other end of the wire
fastened to a large iron pot. After
drawing the pot from its hiding place
and opening it, imagine Mr.. Bear s
surprise on finding it filed with Span.
ish silver dollars. We are unable to
give the accurate amount it contain
ed. Some say it contained from S5,
900 to $4,000, while others place il
as high as $4,000. The place where
the money was found is at the foot
of the North Mountain, in Cumber-
land county, between Waggoner's
and Grains Gap road. When and
by whom the money was secreted re
mains a mystery.
