He di- rected McCaffrey to ; go to a certain stump and dig on a certain side of it, and he would find a, fortune av/uitiiig him. (I should have, said b<;t'ure that McCaffrey is about 23 years of age. lie bus always stayed at home, being very bashful.)

A Malone correspondent ot the Telegram, writing on Wednesday of last week, said that \ J. K. Seaver and Thos Mulholland visited Bangor Thursday and interviewed the McCaffery family in relation to the discovery of the check and bottle, the for- r dated 1775 and drawn on the Bank of England. They assure us there is no decep- tiou in the matter, but whether the check or signature can be deciphered is more than they can say. The date, 17*6, is very plainly marked, but it will take a micro- scope to make out the signature. The paper is in charge of Rev. Jewett who guards it with jealous 'care. It is now asserted that experts have suc- ^eeded in deciphering* the mysterious pap£r and it reads as follows : 1; £4,000. Bank of England. This certi- Gcate is good for four thousand pounds sterling on the B=ink of England, with interest annually. Dated Dec.
