Gold in a Whisky-Jug.
Island Shoals GA Letter. l

While Samuel Mcdaniel, young farmer,
was at work in field his plow struck some
obstruction, stopping the mules. He found
that it had caught in the handle of a five-gal-
Ion jug, which was slowly pulled out of the
ground. The jug had cork stopper, sealed
with sealing-wax, and piece of tin doubled
over it with a wire fastening, making it per-
fectly secure. Mcdaniel was anxious to
know what was in the jug, and, taking the
heel-screw off the pillow, he twisted off the
wire This enabled him to take out the cork.
He then placed the jug on a stump and, ap-
plying his lips, tasted the best brandy he
had ever sampled. So captivated was he
that he drank several times, and, at
last, the liquor overcoming him, he
slipped down asleep at the foot of the stump.
Failing to come home to dinner his mother
went out to the field after him, when he
was about waking up. Together they gave
the jug another examination, when Mrs.
McDaniePs attention was attracted to its
great weight. An investigation showed the
presence of 1900 IS gold pieces. making a
total of $780, The mystery was cleared up
in a singular manner. McDaniel's grand
father was captain in the Florida war. 1t
was known that he was wealthy before he
left. On news Of his death in one of the bat
ties with the Indians his heirs could find no
trace Of his money. The fact that years
after his only grandson and heir should have
found his fortune is a singular accident. The
finding of this jug leads to the hope that
there may be Others, and the ploughing of
that field is watched with interest.
