GOLD IMBEDED IN A LOG.
A Rich Find Near New Hope-A
Theory about it.

SALISBURY, Mp, April 22.-The citizens
around New Hope are excited over the
finding of box of gold coins hy Peter
Beauchamp. sawyer, who owns u steam
mill at New Hope. While Mr.. Bcauchamp
was saving cypress log into shingles
when the saw was about eight inches from
the end Of the log, IL struck something
very hard, which broke his saw. lie at
once examined the log. and found the saw
had struck an old tin box, 4x4SS inches
in size, literally filled with gold coins,
ranging in size from 81 to SEQ pieces. The
box was in neatly mortised cavity. but
II had evidently been there for many years
rs u sap fibre about four inches thick Ind
grown completely over it. leaving the tree
apparently solid Mr.. Bcauchamp at once
started with the treasure for Whaleyvillc.
Since the find his neighbors say he has
acted very mysterously. lie will not re.
veal the amount of his find, but the facts
are as stated above, Ms several men Of un-
doubted yeracity have seen several Of the
twen,y.dollar gold pieces, which have
notches in them, ms II they were cut by a
saw coming in contact with them. They
also assert that the log is still lying at the
mill unsawed The incredulous are con
WINGED when they see tie mysterious NOR
tiscd cavity in the log. The log belonged
TO James Carey. who claims the money, as
it was found in his log lie intends To in
s,itutc legal proceedings To recover his
"saw dust" The old inhabitants Of the
neighborhood explain how the tin box of
money came To bc in the log in this way
Old Levi Spence, miscr, who had plenty
of gold, which he boarded with care, re-
sided in tina, ncighhorhood'i in ante-bellum
days, aud used TO hide his gold in hollow
trees. 4 party Of hunters out after coons
one night discovered some of his gold IN "a
hollow tree. and il is claimed he then con
ccived the idea of moriising hole in a
solid tree and hiding his money in it.-Cur-

Again our citizens were warned on last
Saturday evening Of the great danger in
the use Of coal oil for the purpose Of kind
ling fire. The alarm Of fire at about 8
o'clock quickly drew large crowd to-
gcther on Green street, opposite the WASH
ington House, In front Of the store occu-
pied by Moses Nicholson. Upon arriving
at the scene ofconflagration several ofthe
first to get there rushed through the front
room and out into the kitchen where they
beheld Mrs. Nicholson wrapped in flames
from head to foot. and her husband fran
tically cndcavoring to tear the clothes
from the body of his wife who was suffer
ing indescribable torture. His efforts
were In vain, however, for the poor wo-
man was doomed to die this horrible
death. She rushed from the building into
the back yard where she fell. but was soon
picked up and carried up stairs, where
she was placed on the bed aud medical aid
summoned. Drs. Benson, Jones and Aydc-
lotte did all In their power to relieve the
unfortunate woman Of her suffering, but
their efforts were In vain. She fingered,
enduring the most excruciating pains i'm
aginable until about noon the following
day when death relieved her of her suffer-
ing. In his efforts 10 tear the clothing
from his wife and release her from the
dreadful situation, Mr.. Nicholson's hands
and arms were horribly burned and It Is
thought that he will never regain the use
Of either Of them. 4 daughter about ~
years Of age was also badly burned about
the hands and arms. but not SD severely.
The fire originated from the explosion Of
coal oil can, out Of which il Is supposed
Mrs. Nicholson was pouring oil ON the
fire, which she was starting In the cook
stove at the time. The remains Of Mrs.
Nicholson were taken to Baltimore on the
steamer Helen last Monday where they
were inferred. Mrs, Nicholson leaves an
afflicted husband and six childrcn-tl three
sons and three daughters youngest
being babe but four months old, to
mourn their loss. Although comparative.
~ strangers In this community and with
out means their situation Is most de-
plorable one and should elicit the sympathy
Of the entire community in their sad aiilic-
ton and bereavement.

Our jail Is being filed with prisoners
and our States Attorney is making pre-
parations for the trial of large number
Of cases. George Duilield, colored lad,
was lodged in Jail ON Saturday last on the
charge ofhaving robbed the money draw.
or of the store Of Mr.. l.. Hastings one day
last week. Amer being arrested Dufiield
acknowledged the thcft. Also on the
following day Sunday Constable Car.
mean arrested Jim Smith ON the road be-
tween Stockton and lIorntewn. II ap-
pears that Smith had been living with Mr..
John Richardson on his seaside farm near

night before his arrest, taking with him

Mr.. Richardson upon missing his clothing,
and Smith being absent became suspicious
Of what had happened and Immediately

grain sack by his side. Smith made M
resistance but wished to know chow that

said he was in there once when Mr.. Rich

The residence of Rev. \. Bate on
Thursday evening last was the scene Of
another of those pleasant social gather
ing by the Thursday Club and It may be
truly said OF il, that for amusement and
sociabiliiy il has been surpassed by no
previous meeting. There was u large at
tendance and every one seemed TO have
determined to make the affair an enjoya-
bic one. The programme was opened with
u duet, by Mrs. Sallic Dashicll and George
T. Bratten, Esq, which was rendered in u
mastery manner, which was followed by
a beautiful tablcaux, entitled "Rcvcrics of
a Bachelor" Vim. Y. Dickcrson. Esq.
then read an humorous essay describing
u trip to the Dredging Machine. The
programme closed with the very amusing
pantOmime, "Villikin and ms Dinah."
which was sum- by Mrs. DIR. Dashiell IN low
sweet tones and acted by l.. f. Benin as
Villikin and Miss Margic Station rs Dinah,
TO the perfect satisfaction of everyone pres
en-, and repeatedly brought down the
house with laughter. Miss Annie Station
presided At the organ during the entire
programme and rendered excellent music.
We regret that we have neither the time
or space at our disposal To give the affair
the special commentator il so justly de-
serves.
