covered to be in flames, which had made so
much Roadway that it was impossible to sub
due them, or to save anything from the burn
ing building. As there had been no fire in
the building for several weeks, it is thought
that some thief stole the greater part of the

suspicion. Loss about 500; insurance $40.

your correspondent visited the place with the
expectation of getting some of the precious
metal, but we were doomed to disappointment,
for upon examination we could find nothing
but about a dozen newly made holes in the
earth, from two to six feet deep, but could
find none of the shining dollars, nor no silver
serpents But then as the thermometer was
down below the teens, we could not expect
snakes to come from their hiding places.
