Kidd's Treasures.
The treasures of Kidd are famishing
some little excitement again on the banks
of the Hudson. The New York Times
has the following:
“Yesterday afternoon James Vreden
burg, Harry Tuttle, David II. Briggs and
John Mearns appeared belore General
Madison Baker, as referee, and made a
lengthy and almost incredible statement.
According to their story,last spring Briggs,
who is an enthusiastic spiritualist, had a
dream, which revealed to him a great
rusty iron chest submerged under the wa
ters, close by the rocky mountain ledges
of the Hudson Highlands. He pnt away
the vision, but it came again even more
distinct. He then went to a clairvoyant,
who directed him to the spot where Cap
tain Kidd’s iron treasure chests were bur
ied. He temporarily suspended his trade
—that of a silversmith—and enlisted three
companions before named, who together
chartered a yacht and went upon the ex
pedition. The clairvoyant furnished par
ticular instructions, which they closely ad
hered to. At first they landed at Crow
Nest and took possession of an abandoned
dwelling. The spirits under whom they
proceeded only allowed them to work at
night. In September they commenced.
While digging by charts in perfect silence
they were surprised, captured and mor
tally seared by some United States detec
tives, who took them for fugitive counter
feiters engaged in burying plates.
At another time a party of adventurous
young men who saw the lights on the
mountain side, and could not account for
them, came over from Cold Spring to in
vestigate, thinking they might find the
river banditti that had been operating at
wholesale through the various towns.—
The diggers suddenly extinguished their
light, and sent a shower'of stones which
went crashing through the woods below,
filling the air with brimstone fumes. The
adventurers could not take such a reccp
- U..4 1 ,|An.n (l.o
mountain to their boats and pulled home
ward for dear life, fully believing that
Crow Nest was beset by ‘legions of devils.’
The spirits then ordered a change of base.
So they moved down below Snakehole
Creek, a picturesque locality, marvelous
for its seclusion,and very prolific of snakes.
Again they dug and blasted.
Twice they were visited by detectives,
who supposed them to be river thieves,
and they set all the country ajar with su
perstitious wonder at the lights on the un
inhabited mounted sides. Finally, alter
many attempts, the successful blast was
made witli ten pounds of powder on Sun
day night. The explosion was awful. It
seemed as though the entire mountain had
been split in two. A great ledge at the
water's edge was riven and a monstrous
boulder overturned. Underneath this was
a portion of a decayed vessel. They pulled
it out and discovered a huge rusty iron
chest. It was the work of a moment to
dash in the cover with a sledge-hammer,
and disclose piles of coin smeared with
mud. Frantic with excitement,they scram
bled over the spoils, and finally came to
blows, when the spectators, Jerry Lanigan
and his boat’s crew, came upon the scene
and interposed. It seems that they ac
tually secured about seven thousand dol
lars in ancient Spanish doubloons and sov
ereigns, besides some jewelry,all of which
was greatly discolored by the water, rust,
&e.
An amicable arrangement for the divis
ion of the spoils has been made. They
intend to renew operations at another place
in the spring—all under the direction of
the spirits.'" Several persons from West
l’oint visited the scene to-day. A great
piece of the rocky mountain-side down to
the river level is torn off, but no traces of
the hull ot a submerged vessel are appar
ent, excepting the few green slime-cov
ered ribs which contained the iron treasure
chest. One of the treasure hunters, Harry
Tuttle, had his face considerably bruised,
as he says, by a piece of rock from the
explosion, blit as the boatmen declare,from
a blow received durlug the scrimmage.”
JOSH HILLINGS' BEAL ESTATE BEGISTER.
I kan sell l'or $1889 a pallas, a neat and
pensive retirement, lokated on the virgin
banks of the Hudson, kontaining Soakers.
The land is luxuriously divided by the
hand of natur and art into pastur and til
lage, into plain and declivity, into stern
abruptness and the dalliance of moss tuft
ed medder; streams of sparkling glad
ness (thick with trout) dans thro the wil
derness of bnty tew the low musik of the
cricket and grashopper. The evergreen
sighs as (lie evening zefer dirts thru its
shadowy buzzum. Fruits of the tropiks in
golden buty molt on the bows, and the
bees go heavy and sweet from the fields
into the garnering hives.
The manshun is of L’arian marble ; the
porch is a single diamond set in rubies
ami the mother of pearls; the floor is of
rosewood and ceilins are more butiful
than the starry vaults of heaven. Hot and
cold water squirts and bubbles in every
direction, anil nothiug is wanting that a
poet couhl pra for or art could portra. The
stables are worthy the steeds of Nimrod
or the studs of Akilles, and its henery was
built expressly for the birds of paradise,
while sombre'in the distance, like a cave
of a hermit, glimpses are caught of the
dorg-house.
I fere poets hav cum and warbled their
laze; here sculptors have sculpt; here
painters have robbed the scene uv dreary
landscape ; and here the tilosofer discov
ered the study which made him the al
kemist of nature. ,
Next to the northward of this thing of
buty, sleeps the residence and domain of
the Duke John Smith; while southward,
and nearer the spice breathing tropiks,
I may bo seen the baronial villy of Far!
! Brown and Duchess Widdv Betsey Jones,
j Walls of primitive rock, lade in Homan
I sement bound the estate, while upward
and downward the eye catches far away
, the slowr grandeur of the Hudson. As the
! voung morn hangs like a curtain of silver
| from the blue brest of the sky, an angel
