BLOOD AS TREASURE FINDER.
The recent floods in Sicily carried away a portion of the soil in a field at Castiglione, near Catania, laying bare a quantity of gold coins of ancient Greece. As a few months before a man had been assassinated on that spot, the common people attribute the discovery of the money to the agency of the murdered man. There is a tradition that in the neighbouring district of Fietramarina a treasure has been interred, sand now people hope that same person may be murdered there—possibly a good man, as, for instance, a priest—that he may reveal its location.
