they were certain they knew where money
was buried, they supposed the place TO
be some Indian lroun,l, as they had found
darts, bone, and otEer relics of Indian
character. They told Nj Beunum they
would 60 with him on a ceftsin night
but were afraid to 60 by themselves The
reverend gentleman agreed The night
arrived. Now there was man from Mil
ton into it,-so the story goes-and he
armed himself with bell aud SOME
chains ard went to the diggings FIRST
said digginks we're near the root OF a large
tree. He from Milton climbed the tree
and perched himself on limb which
hung over the diggiugs. Mr.. Bennum
took a lantern aud a compass, and IN

The scene of action. Before arriving Mr..
Bennum is reported to have said his COM
mass reformed strange actions, but he
supposed it was owing to its coming in
contact with decomposed matter. How
s ever the compass reached the spot and
after some preliminaries commenced to
dig. They had not proceeded far when
the man on tie limb over their heads, be-
Gan to ring his bell, and rattle his chains.
The Young men picked up the lantern and
ran pell nell; the limb on which the man
from Milton was perched, broke and
/ down he came ringing his bell, and his
chain came near cutting off Mr.. Bennum's
head. Mr.. Benpum who yet had the
spade in baud proposed to continue the
Indian programme, and drew back tc
scalp the man from Milton. The young
man saw he was into it aud begged hin
not to strike. And he didn't. And Sc
