From the Windsor (Vermont) Journal, Jan. 17.

Money Digging.—We are sorry to observe, even in this enlightened age, so prevalent a disposition to credit the accounts of the marvellous. Even the frightful stories of money being hid under the surface of the earth, and enchanted by the Devil or Robert Kidd, are received by many of our respectable citizens as truths. We had hoped that such a shameful transaction would have never been acted over again in our country, till the following event occurred, not long ago, in our vicinity.

A respectable gentleman in Tunbridge, was informed, by means of a dream, that a chest of money was buried on a small island in Ager's brook, in Randolph. No sooner was he in possession of this valuable information, than he started off to enrich himself with the treasure. After having been directed by the mineral rod, where to search for the money, he excavated the earth about 15 feet square to the depth of 7 or 8; and all the while it was necessary to keep six pumps running to keep out the water. Presently he and his labourers came.

Pat upon a chest of gold,

And heard it chink with pleasure;

Then all prepared, just taking hold

To raise the shining treasure.

One of the company drove an old file through the rotton lid on the chest, and perceiving it to be nearly empty, exclaimed with an oath," There's not ten dollars a piece." No sooner were the words out of his mouth, than the chest moved off through the mud, and has not been seen or heard of since.

Such is the story as related by himself. Whether he actually saw the chest, or whether it was the vision of a disordered brain, we shall leave the public to determine.
