The depths of the cesan, not five from the Galley Head, on the west coast of Ireland, are being explored by a body of divers in search of o long lost treasure, amouating to between £40,000 and £60,000. It appears that so far book-as- twenty years ago a large ship, named the Cres- cont City, was wrecked at the spot mentioned. and sank in irtoon tathoma of water, with a large amount of specie in gold on board. Shor ly afterwards divers were sent down, who succeeded, after mol dificulty, in our ing £16,000, but were unable to get near the remaining portion of the gold in cosse- quence of the then intact state of the ship's hall lying in much deep water. Further attempts wore then abandoned by the divers, and nothing sies was done to recover the balance of the specie until quite recently, when one of the di-Luzon Sugar vera, Mr. O'Hara, Liverpool, who surveyed the Crescent City shortly after she hat foundered, negotiated with the underwriters and purchased the ship as she now lies at the bottom of the sUS. Mr. O'Hara has made Clonakilty his headquar ters. He has an eftoient staff of divers under his command to explore the hull of the vassel. which be considere to be completely broken up by the time, and therefore fools conadeent of getting possession of the sankon treasure and retiring an independent man.

The Supreme Court of Indiana was recently called upon to review nou-wait to an action brought to recarer dainos for being sterek down on a sidewalk by a bisyole rider. The trial shungbai court had held that bicycling was a form of pedestrianating, and that the bicyclers had as mach right on the sidewalk as any pedestrian. The appeal from the no-suit was argued in the forenoon. When the court adjourned for dinner, Jadgra Coffey and Berkshire started to walk to their hotel, and as they were passing out of the capitol ground a clumsy bicycle rider run into thom, rocking both down, and taily bruising.
