have been put forth with the addition of confessions
of humiliation and OF pentence He says he
was accosted by man calling himself Jonathan Will

him, invited to drink soda and accepted * that az
ter going TO one establishment and finding it full they
proceeded to another where soda and raspberry syr-
up were called for, and his companion handed him
his glass with his hand the top Of it, which Mr.
Cough thought at the time to be very ungentemanly
He does not locate the shop, but remembers the color

son; but he has suspicion that he into the city

after the Friday that he was found and that tho
whole thing was arranged beforehand. or what &C.

only question Of discussion has been whether Mr.
Cough was drugged strayed from the path of tenn

absence Of Jonathan Williams. who does not appear
to have turned up since the drugging rascality was
consummated at the soda sbop,--we presume there

what passed in connection with himself for several
days, and indeed till he called upon by one or

these things till tho 'crack of DOOM and the truth of

the fact, TINT these two parties did act on this very
understanding, TO all human appearance, in towns

INTERESTING RELICS In digging well on the
battle ground at Bunker Hill lately, several skeletons
were dis covered, being The remains of those
who persisted in the battle of the seventeenth of
June, 1776. Quite a number of metal buttons, mum
bered from AZ to So, were also thrown up. These
would seem to have belonged to the enemy as they
bear the number of several Of :her regm ents and as
is well known that such were worn by the A.
mercans. The other articles consist of knee buckles
musket balls and copper coin, the latter being too
uuch corroded to discover their character or dates
The place where these remains and relics were found
is supposed to have formed part OF of the main
entertainments at the time of the battle and that the
bodies were covered up where they fell, or were
thrown in Immediately after the conflict.

Of tho doors ard windows and some OF them leaving
their hats behind them. On "Wednesday and Thurs
day. after brief warning TO the occupants, the burning
the dwelling houses of the Mormons commenced.
On Friday other houses wero fired. In the course
of that day, a committee Of Mormons, with a flag Of
truce entered Lima, to trent with their enemies.-
Captain Newton volunteered to introduce them 10
