SEEK HIDDEN TREASURE.

A romantic story of supposed hid
den treasure, quite in the style Of
Edgar Allan Poe, comes from Choen.
berg in MOrayia. The tower Of the
ancient Rathaus, despite the protests
OF the Vienna Conservatives, was late
iy demolished, as it was declared to
be unsafe. AS the rubbish was being
removed a document was found in a
hollow stone stating that during the
thirty years war the town funds were
brlcked up in a certain part OF the
Eathaus. The place could be seen
when at certain hour on certain
day the shadow of the Rathaus spire
fell upon it. The town council has
resolved to find the shadow by build
ing a scaffOld of the same height and
form. Much excitement prevails, and
many bets are being taken. Some
people suppose that the document was
inserted by a workman, and they be-
lieye that after the war the treasure
was recovered.
