LOST TREASURE FOUND.


 Ten thousand Lnglish sovereigns, after lying for nearly century and a quarter in an old hulk at the bottom of East bay, Lake Champlain, have been recovered and are now deposited in the Allen national bank in. Fair haven, says dispatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean. For many years there had been a tradition in this part of the state that at the bottom of East bay, near Carver's falls, was sunken boat containing a large amount of English gold, with which it was intend ed to pay off the troops of Gen. Bur goyne in 1777.
 The gold was shipped from Quebec in small sloop, with crew and guard of ten men, the expe dition being un- der the command of one Capt. John son. It was intended to deliver the money to Burgoyne, as his men were almost in a state of mutiny because they had not been paid. The vessel was attacked by Americans, scuttled, and the crew killed.
 A civil engineer, who drew the plans and superintended the construction of the big dam at Carver's falls for an electric power station, concluded that he would investigate. Taking with him about 30 men, he changed the course of the stream, and then with pick and shovel soon had one side of the sloop free. A charge of dynamite broke up the hull The timbers were found in good condition.
 In the cabin was found considerable . l. 4r much the worse for their long immer- sion, and other minor articles. An old iron chest was found in the cap tain s room. When opened it was found to contain 10000 sovereigns.

Rev. NJ. L. Haines, pastor of that church.

He said in part:
II have been reminded, as many of us
have, how much we need wisdom In our

apolis organization is enough guarantee
that the charitable work In this city I'M
der their jurisdiction will be carried on in
the best possible way. The fact that we
have not received demands for great aid in
this city is because We do not breed pauper-
ism and there is a system in carrying on
this work. These men and their assistants
are always at the work.

ideal but the institution is the way by
which TO reach II, and as ii is likely TO be
a long road and a rough one before we can
safely abandon our institutional care of de-

bend every energy TO the scientific, able,
but sympathetic, discharge of our present
work.
