= The Yankee, never at a loss for a new invention, have formed a joint-stock company, with a large capital, to search for Captain Kidd's treasures. Kidd was a pirate of the seventeenth century, who was said to have buried enormous amounts of plunder in neglected places along the shores of New England. This enterprising company have already began to sink a well on the coast of Connecticut, and are guided by the son of a man, who, when living, was supposed to be in Captain Kidd's confidence. The Quixotic enterprise, although so chimerical, has many devoted believer! in New England.
