A Dubious Ereand. —A Californian paper received by the mail has the following: “ Captain Thomas O’Malley Baines, of Fenian renown, has gone to Australia by the steamer City of New York, for the purpose of raising a treasure of £60,000, buried by Frank Gardiner, a notorious Australian bushranger. Gardiner, previous to his imprisonment, had buried the swag obtained by countless robberies about a mile from the Fish River, in a clearing between Goulburn and Bathurst, New South Wales. After his release he came to San Francisco, the vigilance of the Australian police compelling him to leave his booty behind. Here he has become a total wreck. The only person who befriended him was Baines, and knowing that he had but a short time to live, he confided to him the whereabouts of the deposit, which is said to consist of gold coins, bills, and jewellery. He has furnished Baines with accurate plans and diagrams of the buried treasure, which is to go entirely to Him, with the condition that he shall provide for Gardiner during his lifetime.” Presbyterian Ohubch, Abhbubton,— It was announced last Sunday night in the above church that on that day month an election of elders for the parish would take place.
