Tiie only thing lia com plained of was that rho Radical l?ad ?!s were stealing it from them under he junas of law, in the ?na'p? o' ieayy ia.vation. Gov.

Kia imagination was fired with the prosper of sudden wealth, lu this state of mind, his uncle employed him to go with a ivagon to Old Fort. Now it happen ed that a wealthy miner came.from LVn;?-viva:da, and did not wi.-1' to j be hurried by a mail coach ; but I t referred a slow wagon in order that ; he might search for m dals by the way.
