to-day. Runs on RetsiDger & Fletch>

morning, but the number of people
demanding money was smaller than
Yesterday and the runs entirely

country banks might become alarmed

In the city, but all fears of danger from
this source are nov allayed. Letters
have been received from officers of
country banks having balances here
expressing the utmost confidence in
the bank and stating that they will
draw as light IA possible on their

very nervous, confidedce is stesdily
growing and the present outlook is
nothing to warrant apprehensions of
any further trouble with the city
banks.

there is so mucl display Of energy and such

added those of private contractors workmen.

On Saturday evening commenced the

Rev. Mr.. Shannon, the presiding elder on this

text on Sunday evening was: 'What think We

earnest, practical and logical manner. 1twas
a sermon suited to the place and the times, and
it is pity those who most need the benefit of
such forceful reasoning are lot easily
reached.

MeSsrs. Edn0yS.-1'hc inclosed extract
from Il New York paper shows that the
people are awakening to the outrageous
injustice done TO the man who drinks in
town where the authorities license men to
sell liquor, when he Is fined for drinking;
while the person who sells to the drunk
ard and thereby violates the law just as
much is never m0lcsicd. The time is
coming when such suits will be more fire.
quent and the verdict of the jury as just :
A late issue of the Gilroy 4drOcate says
that a man who was fined for drunken
ness in Lewiston, Illinois, appealed 10 the
circuit court, and got Il favorable verdict.
His lawyer proved that the city of Lewis
ton had licensed three men, for 81 900
each, to make drunkards; that his client
was one of the victims of these copartners
(the saloon men and the city, and that
the city sought to imjure his client still
more by filming him for falling into the
trap. The jury decided that such con-
spiracy to make men drunk and then fine
them was unjust. Let there be more such
suits and such juries, and we will not
hear such rose-cOlored accounts as we
have had Of the working of high license.

Confederate Treasure Found.

Wilkes county, Ca, is in great excite
ment over the discovery of a large guam
tity of Confederate treasure. During Il
storm few days ago small oak tree was
blown down about nine miles from WASH
ington. Mr. John Frank, while riding
by, saw something shining, and examined
the roots Of the tree. In the hole left by
the tree he found almost peek of gold
and Il large quantity of jewels and precious
stones. Among the latter were diamonds,
rubcs and pearls, and many pieces of ex
quisitc workmanship, the value Of which
has been placed by several connoisseurs
at $4,000. The belief expressed by all
who have seen the treasure is that it is
part of the lot lost by the Confederate
Cabinet during its flight through that Sec
ton, as the road upon which this treasure
was found is the same upon which the
Confedcrates retreatcd. Is is supposed
that the person who secured this part of
the treasure, being unable TO carry it of
in safety, hid it for security, and either
died 4 natural death or WAS killed soon
after, and that consequently the treasure
was never uncarthed. The great quantity
of jewels and precious stones pawned by
ladies of the Confedcracy for the benefit
of the cause suggests that it must have
been the contents of tho mysterious jew
clry box entrusted to Mrs. Moss and taken
from her shortly afterwards by 4 stranger
while rctresting through The country.
