SToPpAGE OF FACTORIES The Newburypot
Herald states that the James Mill in that town will
take advantage Of the depression Of business at the
present time, and stop Tor while, in order to
pair their machinery. The Herald also remarks,
that "More than eight hundred hands have been
discharged from the mills, under the agency Of one
house Of Boston, within the last fortnight, owing
to the impossibihty of selling the goods on hand,
or raising money to continue the manufacture"
The factories, very generally, are suspendlng ope-
ratioDs, In whole or in part. The Mlddlesex, at
Lowell, only runs quarter part of the machinery
at Andover, some mills have stopped entirely, and
The Salisbury Company have stopped half their
works; and the Perry Cotton Mil, at Newport,
the Lewiston Falls Wo)llen Mills, the Sabbatis-
vile Flannel Factory, and the woollen mills at
Ware and Clspville, have likewise stopped, or are
about TO stop, work.

MINES IN TrxAs.-We have received specimens
Of ores procured from the nelghhorhood of San
Saba and an old mine on the Nueces. According to
the Mexican traditions these mines were formerly
worked by the Spaniards for silver but silver Is
contained in either of the specimens have received
They are chiefly iron ore and some Of them contain
duced those who procured them to believe that they
contained gold silver. We have been informed by
gentleman who visited the mine on the Nueces that
there is shaft mt this place sunk over sixty feet
through compact limestone, and there are relics OF
old furnaces and some mining tools near the SHAFT IN
dcating that many persons once employed in
working this mine but whether the excavations were
made merely to discover vein Of precious ore or to
procure from vein that had been discovered,
seems quite doubtful Certain it IT, that specime
that have been yet found at the mine indicate that It
contains any of silver gold II is improba
BILE that the excavations made to search for q
silver mine 1t Is well known that the Spanish miners
so ignorant Of geology that they often made
rocks that destitute Of these metals as the
forest trees that overhsdowed them. II the mines
the San Saba and Nueces had yielded any consi
derabe quantity of the precious metals, account
Of them would have been found in the old records Of
Bexsr or the Preside OF Rio Grande. These
records, however, understand, do not furnish any
evidence that valuable silver mines worked
on the San Saba or Nueces. The missions established
the San Saba and Mt Fort lei Altar the Nueces,
appear have been formed rather frontier posts to
check the incursions Of Indians, TO form part Of
the chain Of military posts connecting the Spanish
poseons east OF the Sabine with those west of the
Rio Grande IL Is singular fact, that line of old
dapidated forte missionary stations be traced
quite acr0ts the country from the Prestdt0 de Rio
Grande to the Trinity. The remains Of an old fort
dis covered the Trinity far above the present
site Of Dallas about four years ago, by party of
troops, who were out excursion against the In
dams. Shortly after this fort discovered, mum.
Der Of persons travered the country for miles around
It, in search Of mines but their search frutess;
and such fear will be the search ef those who are
eDdavorDg to find valuable silver gold mines on the
San Saba and Nusces There are, doubtlssr very rch
and valuable veins Of lead In those sections quite
similar TO the lead Of Missouri and Illinois, but 1t
Is very doubtful whether any valuable mine OF silver
gold will be found in any portion OF the country
watered by the Nueces Colorado, Crszos or Trinity
In the country watered by the Puercs and the trbu
tsres Of tho Rio Grande above the mouth Of the Puer
where the primitive rocks abound, we may reason

The LUXURY or THE ROMAN TABLE. The
luxury of the table commenced about the pc
riod of the battle of Actium, and continued
till the reign of Galba. Theird delicacies con-
sisted of peacocks, cranes of Malta, nightin-
callers, venison, and wild and tame fowls +,
they were also fond of fish, The reigning
taste was for a protusion of provisions; whole
wild boars were served up, filled with various
small animals and birds of different kinds.
This dish was called the Trojan horse, in al
lusion TO the horse filled with soldiers. Fowls
and game of all sorts were served up inpyra-
mids piled up in dishes as broad as moderate
tables. Mark Anthony provided eight boars
for twelve guests. Caligula served up TO his
guests pearls of great value, dissolved inviue-
gar, Lucullus had pariclar name for each
apartment and a certain scale of expense at
tached TO each. Cicero and Pompey agreed
TO take supper with him, provided he wonld
not order his servants TO prepare any thing
extraordinary He directed the servants to
prepare the supper in the room OF Apollo
His friends were surprised at the magniii-
cence of the entertainment. lie then iniorm-
ed them, that when he mentioned the name
of the room, his servants knew the scale OF
expense. Whenever he supped in the room
of Apollo, the supper always cost fl,25o. He
was equally sumptuous in his dress, A Ro-
man Prntor, who was tc give games TO the
public, requesting. to borrow one hundred
purple robes for the actors, Lucullus replied
thai he could lend him two hundred if he
wanted them. The Roman furniture in their
houses corresponded with their profuseness
in other respects. Pliny states that, in his
time, more money was often given for table

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

A letter in the Boston Chronotype, dated
Providence, r. l., Nov. I, relates the follow
ing singular circumstances, which may be
true or not, the gulliblity of the writer be-
ing very apparent in his narration:
Miss Harriet Burlington, aged about nine
teen, nervous, sanguine temperament, blue
eyes and auburn hair, dreamed about six
months ago that she was buried alive, and
was much distressed about it that she spoke
of it to her friends. Last Wednesday, Nov
lst, she attended the ball at Howard Hail.
and from the excitement of that occasion she
did not rest SO well the following night, and
was, of course, somewhat exhausted during
the succeeding day and night. On Friday
evening, Nov. Sd, at about seven O'Clock,
while in the yard of her fathers house, with
two young ladies, she suddenly fell 10 the
ground, eXclaiming at the moment, 'Oh, how
dizzy am'!' She appeared 10 be in a fit,
and for some moments was sensible, and said
| to her young friends, "Cant you do some
thing for mel Send for the doctor. when
the doctor arrived, he opened vein in her
arm, but there was no flow of blood and
in about two hours he pronounced her dead.
This was Friday night. She was carried TO
the tomb the next Sabbath at about 2 P. Nj.
But during all this time and up 10 the present
writing some of her friends have felt far
from being perfectly satisfied that she was
really dead, when committed to the tomb,
and for the following reasons -
!. On Sabbath afternoon, some thirty-six
hours after the swoon, her father noticed the
discharge of fresh blood from her ann, where
she had been lanced by the docor on Friday
night.
2. The ladies who laid her out said they
perceived what appeared to be an unusual
warmth in the body at the time.
3. Her friends thought the attending ply
sican hesitated, and manifested some uncer-
tainty in his mind, when he pronounced her
dead.
4. AT the funeral, the Rev. Mr.. Cook, her
pastor, requested the sexton not TO close the
lid of her coffin, and it was not closed, when
she was put into the tomb nor while she re-
mained in it.
5. Mr.. Swartz, the sexton, did not feel sat-
isfed, and advised her father to have the bo-
dy removed back to the house.
Thus the case stood last evening, when
some friends consulted the celebrated Clair
voyant, Miss Ann E, Hall, about the case,
who said Miss B. was then alive but would
not remain so long, if they did not attend to
her, and to-day, at about - at noon, her IA
ther had her body removed back 10 his house
where it was examined by a large number
of friends. Miss Hall being present, ina state
of trance, said the young lady had died about
O'Clock last night and have some curl
ous collateral facts, which go to show that
the clairvoyant told the truth about the case,
which may send yen, if you wish them.
Mr.. Burlington declares his child shall not be
carried to the tomb again till change has
taken place, sufficient 10 put the matter be-
yond all doubt.
Yours truly, A.Y. D.

standing on end-for like all other rogues,
he was as cowardly as he was bad.
Van Dyke paused a moment, and thus
pondered in his own mind-"That scound-
rel Will bring some of those horsemen back,
1or ne Will imagine that / may linger two
or three hours around this old place. Yes,
yes, Will after some twenty of our lads
and prepare an ambush for them. Fifty
guneas will draw Claasen any where,
coward as he is, especially when backed by
the red-coats."
"lt was not long before Van Dyke re-
turned with his party, whom he gathered
by signal; and as night had fallen, they
took their stations amid the willows by the
banks of the brook, where they could re-
main unperceived. For the space of an
hour all was still, when the distant tramp
OF horses was heard on the road.
"Here they come," said Van DYKE
"Each choose his man, but leave Claasen
for me: you will know him by the cap he
wears. | will give the word when to fire."
In short time the party of horsemen
rode up by the Willows, and true enough
they were red-coats, headed by lieuten-
ant, with Claasen.
"Fire." shouted Van Dyke.
80 sudden and deadly was the aim, that
not more than half dozen remained in
their saddles, and they wheeled and their
horses fled as quick as possible. Van Dyke
had Intentionally aimed at the horse of
Claasen, and he fell with his rider. To
secure Claasen was the work of moment.
"Now, lads, bring out the rope and
throw it over that willow branch. We
have alarmed the enemy, and they will be
down upon us"
"Niercy mercy ~ cried Claascn.
All in vain. The moose was slipped
over his head, they strung him up, and
there he was left corpse. The burning
of the "Willows" had been avenged.
