Some More Buried Treasure.

A buried treasure is being sought in Northwest Bengal, A poor Brahmin at Monghyr possessed an amulet which had been in his family for gen- * rations, and, as he was almost starving, he took it to a goldsmith for sale. The goldsmith broke it up to test the metal, and found in the hollow center a scrap of paper oovered with minute writing. This being deciphered by a learned pundit, the Brahmin learned that close by the shrine of Per Shah Nepal is a well dating back to Mahomedan times, and at a cei tain distanoe from the well are hidden fourteen lakhs of rupees. The Brahmin has obtained Government sanction to excavate the ground, a rich neighbor furnishing the funds on condition ol receiving a share of the treasure.
