    nights in succession that there was gold hidden there.
    "Go home to wherever your home is." said the man, "I dreamt that threre wasa a man in Strawberry Hill who had three goats tied to a tree and each side of the tree there is a pot of gold hidden."
    The man returned to strawberry Hill and dug around the tree. He got the gold and it is said that he built the town of Dunmore.
