A Town Worked.

Early in January last MIR. William Oar
ling left this city in company with James
Devinc for the purpose of resurrecting
s)me treasures which Devine cliimed
were buried in India. So straight a story
did this shrewd Devine tell that he was
believed, aud some few citizens Clipped
in the necessary fuads to pay the expenses
OF a trip to Calcutta. Daring was Sc
lected to accompany Devine to look out
for the interest OF the Evanston investors.
Darling returned home n few days since.
He has had a most ENJOYABLE trip, staying
some weeks in London and visiting Ire
land. But how about Devine and the
buried pots of silver? you ask. We can't
tell you anything about that. But VIC are
told that soon after arriving in London,
Devine forgot all about the original
errand, pocketed what money he could
and got out of sight somewhere. His
object seems to have been to reach
Europe, and he did it in comfortable
style.
