The Brighton Reporter says that when the administrators of the estate of Andrew JOHNSTON, who died recently in Walnut township, went to take an inventory of the estate, they found several thousand dollars -- $4,000, we believe was the sum -- in money and notes secreted in an old trunk in the garret of his house.
