DELVlNG FOR GCLD.--A party
Of trappers, who camped upon the
plantation of Mr.. Mires Rosenthal,
below town, with the permission
Of the owner last week, are report.
cd to have spent their leisure mo-
ments for several nights in turn
lug up the earth with spade, SHOW
el and pick, presumably in quest
of hidden treasure, which tradition
says, is buried in the bowels of
the earth somewhere in this imme-
diate vicinity. AS this is not tic
first attempt which has been made
to locate and unearth this suppos,
ed buried treasure, $50, 900, we
have endeavored to ascertain
whether there is any foundation
for the existence of such belief and
what gave rise to it.
1t appears that the ante bellum
owner of the plantation, john Il.
Young, was popularity credited
with being a very wealthy man
and was supposed to keep bis
money about the premises, having
no confidence in the stability OF
banks and integrity Of commission
merchants. He was assassluated.
il is said, i'll Catahoula parish
either going to or returning from
Monroe, where the land Office was
then located, for the purpose of en-
teiing land. 1t is supposed OF
course, that he WAS assassinated
for his money, but 50 far as WI
have been able to learn, there has
never been any clue to the identi
ty Of the assassin, nor the amount
of money, if any, which ne obtain
ed as a result of his nefariOus
transaction.

Der and more expensive churches
in all the countries where the gold
standard prevails and many more
converts to the christian religion,
than there are in those where the
silver standard only is known, we
have read the church records Of
those countries to no purpose. The
truth of the matter is, that it is
only in the gold standard coun-
tries, that the christian religion
has been universally propagated
aud the divine law recognized
equally with that ordained by
man. The religious statistics will
show that twice as many churches
have been built in these countries,
as there have been in the less
favored localities, where only the
silver standard is recognized.
