    Hidden Treasure.
    Amongst the counties of Ireland there is scarcely any district in which hidden treasure is not buried. There is some of this treasure supposed to be hidden in Tullamaine under the Moat. Tullamaine is situated about four miles West of Fethard. This moat is situated about one hundred yards East of Tullamaine castle. The owner of the castle and Moat is Mr. Vigors.
