A hidden treasure of $75,000 was discovered last week by accident at the old homestead of the late David Morrison, at 225 Western avenue, Allegheny City. When the wealthy David Morrison died several years ago it was known that a large sum of money was secreted somewhere about his residence, but since then, notwithstanding the most diligent search made by his heirs, the money could not be found, and hone had been abandoned. Last week, how ever, while the household effects' were being packed, preparatory to removal to the home of John Fitz simmons, at 1637 North Seventeenth street, Philadelphia, who is a nep hew of the eccentrio old gentleman, an old-fashioned book case was en countered, which could not be taken apart until an expert was called in. He, in taking the concern to pieces, brought to light a secret drawer, which fell with a crash to the floor, throwing out a promituoous mass of gold, silver, notes and certificate to the amount of $75,000 at least, and probably more. What Was Har Game. PECULIAR HOINOS OF A WOMAS If JUSI ATA COUNTV. ' Some days ago a woman aged about 70 years, appeared in Tus- carora valley, a short distance west of Port Royal, says the New Bloom- fi old lime: She said she had como to invest in farm laud. That she had looked at land owned by the Hon. James North, and while driv- iug with her sou iu a buggy the horse shied and she was thrown out of the buggy. She than told her son to go home to Pittsburg and she would tak her own time in re turning to the Smoky City . She was kindly treated while she lived upou the bounty of the land owners of the valley, and the woman whero she stopped, rubbed her limbs and aide that was injured by tho fall from the buggy. Meanwhile she kept up her search for land, and showed large sums of money. She claimed that she was the daughter of an English nobleman, but had married a British array officer against her father's will, and be had disinherited her, but that her hus band had become a major general in the British army in India, and had accumulated a fortune by the time he died." She impressed herself on the poople of the valley as no common woman, aud selected three adjoining farms and puchaaed two verbally. Bv verbal contract she beucht the farm of David Gifsnlor..-ill,000 tho farm of Frank Goodman for $7,000, and she offered Geo. Herman $10, 0(H) for. his farm but1 he declined. lie wanted $') more. She told (.. - . than she had offered, but when her son came, she might make Herman a present that would satisfy him. After being with tho pooplo men tioned and with other people in the valley she left, promising to soon return and pay for tho farms and assume tho proprietorship. Slio has not returned and she is now as much talked about as when she first ap poured in the valley, and people aro wandering what she had in view. Site certainly had a good time among tho hospitable pooplo whero she re ceived good living, boarding and lodging. A Big Contract. Mr. M. L. Miller is building up a reputation for first class work in the Monument and Tombstone indus try, for fair, honest dealing and genuine artistio work, that is fast spreading beyond the confines of our town and county, and is bringing to his Marble Works, the best class of work. He has just closed a contract with Edward Bassler, Esq., of Free burg, for a Monument, which, when it leaves his shop will be the best job of the kind erected within the con. fines of tho county. The monument is to be placed on the Bassler plot in the Freeburg cemetery and will be a beautiful aud imposing addition to this God's acre. The Monument will be of the crypt design', of Quincy granite. It will contain the family monogram on the top of the princi pal surface, while the word "BASS LER" will be cut in block letters on the base. The entire stone will weigh 19,500 pounds, and will be erected at cost of $1,200. Our people have reason to feel proud of M. L. Miller's Marble Works. He is a reliable gentleman and persons giv ing him orders will receive the best grade of marble and granite work at the lowest prices. You can get anything of him in his line, from the cheapest tombstone to the most expensive Monument. Do not buy without giving him a call. Tribune. The chestnut crop of Somerset county this year will bring to that county fully $100,000, it is estimated. Jay O. Weiser and A. W.
