Found Lewis's Money.
The following special sent from
Hancock, under date of 22d inst.,
appears in the city papers :
"About tifty years ago Lewis,
the robber and highwayman, of
Fulton county, Pa., buried a
whiskey bottle containing 100 $50
bank notes and some $5 gold
pieces in a field near Rays Hill.
He did dot carefully mark the
place, and never recovered his
buried treasure.
"Saturday H. F. Mellott plow
ed up the bottle. He did not no
tice the bottle until about to cover
it with a second furrow.
"Lewis was one of the most
noted highwaymen and counter
feiters that ever operated in Ful
tou county. He kept himself hid
in caves in the mountains when
pursued by officers, and in one
almost inaccessible cave he ope
rated a complete counterfeiting
plant."
Of course it's all true, or the
Hancock correspondent wouldn.t
say so."

iu a substantial manner last Sat
urday. He said some fellow who
shot at a flock of wild turkeys in
one of his fields one day last
week, missed the turkey and hit
one of his sheep, crippling it bad
ly. It is bad enough to trespass

maim stock pasturing in an enclo
sure on one's farm is beyond the
limit of forbearance.
