A TREASURE TRovE.-A story with Il very
ancient flavor, comes to us to the effect that a
tenant on the farm of the late John Stump, at
Stafford, accidentally came across an old paper,
giving directions to find the spot where treasure
lay buried. Certain courses and distances from
corner of the mansion house were given, and
where the lines crossed the treasure was to be
sought for The finder of the paper, it is stated,
followed the directions, dug into the earth and
| found a metal box containing large quantity
of old coin. nproof of the story it is said that a
deep hole, out of which the treasure came, can
be seen by the curious.
