Annapolis Excited OVER A DISCOVERY OF COIN AND SCRIPT iN AN OLD FRENCH CELLAR, ON EX-SHERIVF BONNET?’S PREMISES BLOOD CURDILING STORIES OF THE SCALPING OF A PARTY OF FRENCHMEN. (Special Correspondence Halifax Herald.)
| Annapons, July 23.—Our town is
greatly excited at present over the fact that an old French cellar bad been found on the Bonnett property, and the possibility that ‘something rich” is to be found in the locality. Your correspondent visited the scene this morning, in order to giye the readers of the Herald as faithful an account as possible. John Gavaga, son-in-law of ex-Sheriff Bonnett, occupies the premises on which the find was made. I found him at work en the old cellar, and he showed me some of the ‘‘curiosities’” taken there- from. Two pieces of script bearing date 1669 and 1670 respectively, were found, but I did not see them as they were sent to Halifax, but an old silver coin, about the size of an American half-dollar, was shown me. It is 240 years old, and is either a German or Russian piece of money.
TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS,
in continental script, were also found in a tin box on the wall. I have now sixty- nine dollars of the money before me and I am sure it would not purchase me a square meal. Three anda ha'f by three inches is the size of the paper. The sixty dollar bill reads :
“Sixty Dollars. No. 470-46.
This Bill ensistes she Bearir so receive Sixty Spanifh milled DonLars, or she value shereof, \in Gold or Silver, accordiug so a Refolution |passed by Congress as Philadelphia, Sept. 26sh, 1778.
LX DOLLARS.”
This bill is signed by ‘M. Culler’ and ‘J. Snowder.’ The decoration on the bill repre- isents the earth, with cura Exun Ter TRRRA.” signed by ‘‘A. Morris, jr., and Knight.” imprint :
The other bills are John and Sellers, |
‘Printed by Hall
In addition to the coins and script, two’ old oak casks have been taken out, one from a depth of nine feet, and both are in a good, state of preservation. The wall was evi- dently built by the French, and in fact there seems no ground to doubt it. It is about five feet deep and four feet thick, and runs along about thirty-six feet one way.
Jigging operations will be renewed on | Monday, when it is expected great develop- ‘ments will be made. The property on) 'which the old cellar is, has
BEEN IN THE BONNETT FAMILY FOR ONE HUN- DRED AND FOUR YEARS,
jand the only building known to exist on it ‘is the one now there built about fifty years ‘ago. Anold resident tells me ** that his grand-father told his father, and his father told him,” that the French once had a

POURING RED HOT LEAD DOWN HIS THROAT.
His ghost is said to have been seen many a time. On account of all this no one would venture to build on the premises, until Mr. Bonnett’s time, when it is said the eyil ‘spirits disappeared. But since the old cel- jlar has been disturbed, the spirits may '** come forth” again. Already reports are | being circulated that strange noises and sights have been seen there of late. A ;countryman affirms that he heard sounds not unlike a man groaning, the other morn- ling at early dawn, when he was harnessing
|his horse in a barn near by, and the other,
night, while the two men engaged in exca- | vating were standing near the cellar they saw something which horrified them, but they won't tell what it was. The find was ‘first discovered by a mineral rod worked on ithe premises. The money found, was on the wall, and had probably been buried ‘there by some one who knew nothing of ithe existence of the cellar.

WE KNOW NOTHING OF THE PAST, that is all. When we speak of Annapolis as an old town, and tell about its being settled over two hundred and sixty years ago, we speak with some degree of pride. ‘* Qid age is honorable,” says the proverb, and perhaps that is why we like to say, ‘the oldest town in North America.” But hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of yearsago before thatthe red man lived here. He was no small pumpkins when the French came, but civilization killed him, and now only a handful of sickly looking Micmacs are to be found around the place. ‘‘ History repeats itself,” we are told, and it is just possible that the world will have another shake and the white man will ‘* make room for his uncle,” the meek and lowly Micmac. 1 was talk- ing to an old Indian the other day, but he did not know much about his. forefathers. History tells us very little, but the relics of the stone age points to a good deal that we are blissfully ignorant of.

The Parnell Banquet. IRISH LEADERS DINED BY THE NATIONAL LIBERAL CLUB—*‘ THE ONLY GREAT MAN IN BRITISH POLITICS.”
Mr. Parnell and some of his colleagues were entertained one evening last week at a banquet by the National Liberal Club. The health of the Queen was proposed by Mr. Dillyun and guests, All rose decorous- ly and drank the toast. Mr. Parnell eulog- ied Mr. Gladstone for having put his shoulder to the wheel, and said that before many months the ex-premier would carry his policy and be recognized as the only great man in British politics. Others who were now attract ng attention were imitators and thinkers. Mr. Parnell wondered how j long Englishmen would be contented to see the government march up the hill and down again. The recent elections had forced them to make concessions or resign. The | English liberals might be assured that their
exertions would not be wasted, although in Ireland extreme misery had been suffer- ed during the past 18 months. Crime had diminished and the people had turned to ; constitutional methods of adjusting their | grievances instead of physical force. The liberals might claim therein a great success for the people recognized that through their exertions the way had been opened to an honorable union. If the liberals failed }in their programme their great reward would be that they had banished violence, outrage and revenge, and had brought the nation to depend upon lawful methods of |redress. If the goverument honestly and fairly tried to carry out the amendments to , the land bill, and if the execution thereof , Was in no way frustrated, they wc uld never have to use the Coercion bil, which would become a standing mev-orial of the time whick «etory government of 1887 had | wasted. The diminution of crime proved the gratitude of the Irish towards the liberals,and he trusted that the Irish would long rely upon the good feeling of the liber- als that, even when oppressed, trampled ‘upon and evicted, they would retaliate islowly. . They should remember that the | tory government would not last forever. | From self-interest the Lrish would be fools to give away the splendid position won for them, and they would be most grateful if in any way they should retard the progress of the liberals in the path of justice to Ire- Jand.. Mr. McCarthy proposed a roast to Mr. Gladstone, and delivered a lengthy , eulogy on the liberal leader. Jacob Bright | replied.

THE ANCIENT METHOD OF FORCING A
VERDICT. | (From All the Year Round.) Jurymen are better off in these times than
in the good old days, when it was the law to endeavor to starye them into a verdict. It is bad enough now to be put to loss of time and money with little or inadequate recompense, without being starved or fined into the bar- gain.
In the early part of the reign of Henry VIL... Lord Chief Justice Reed tried an action when on circuit, in which the jury was locked up, but before giving their verdict had eaten and drank, which they all confessed. This being reported to the judge, he fined them each heavily and took their verdict.
In Hilary term, 6th, Henry VIIL., the case came up before the full court of Queen's bench on a joint motion to set aside the verdict on the ground of informality of trial, the jury having eaten when they should have fasted, and next remit the fines under the peculiar cir- cumstances of the case. The jury averred that they had made up their minds in the case be- fore they ate, and had returned into court with a verdict. but, finding the lord chief justice had *‘run out to see a fray,” and not knowing when he might come back, they had refreshment. The court confirmed both the verdict and the fines.
In ‘‘Dyer’s Reports” a case is reported of a jury who retired to consider their verdict, and when they came back the bailiff informed the judge that some of them (which he could not depose) had been feeding while locked up. Both bailiff and jury were sworn, and the pockets of the latter were examined, when it appeared that they all had abeut them ‘“‘pip- pins,” of which ‘‘some of them confessed they had eaten, and the others said they had not.” All were severely reprimands “1, and those who had eaten were fined 12 shillings each, and those who had not eaten were fined 6 shillings each, for that they had them in their pockets.
