from the banks Of the Eolga, towards the
end OF the ninth century, settled on the

Arnoul, beat the MorayilnS in the year
S95. Under the weak rule of the son
Arnoul, Lewis surnamed the Child, he
became master of pannonia, which the
Hungarans have since then kept posses

Indian Troubles on Lake Superior

We gave lately from The Detroit Tn.

arrival would bring US The accoun, Of
the commencement OF hostilities. Thss
paper Of Ihe Goth VII says:
| From letters received in this city On
Saturday from Saul St. Marie. we lesrn

at the Saul, from Mica Bay, bringing tbs
intelligence OF the attack OF the Tndians

quietly and cautiously to lay their plan
Of attack. Two pieces Of artillery were
so placed as to command the works most

they could rush upon their victims The

not aware of the presence of the malau-

The agent of,he company was suddenly
attackedbya squad of the desperadoes

with immediate death IN case of resist

demanded, which was after some hesita-

HENRY CLAY.

We find the following beautiful passage in
reference TO Mr.. Clay, in the letter of "Obser-
ver," in the Ledger OF Monday last.
Mr. Clay is one ofthe most cxtr aordlnary men
of this or any other country. He is essentially
the growth of the Countrywide growth Of young
prosperous, goahead and fear naught America.
He. is thoroughly elf-made man, and the very
prototype Of every man of energy End will in the
Union. The nation finds itself reflected in him,
and adm!res him as bone OF her bone, and fcsli
ofher flesh. Gen. Taylor might have won an
hundred battles, Scott nigh. have inscribed his
name on every puge Of our history and yet would
not produce the same enthusiasm as MIR. Clay.
We might rejoice at their success, as identified
with that Of our country; but we would not val
tie it above the actual benefit resulting from It.
Mr.. Clay is loved his own account, and be-
cause he does not represent branch, bit ,hs
whole tree of American Use and progress He
is an epitome of the national heart, 30 that the
artist were called Upon to sou p,nre this goddess
of orr Union, he would lend her the counten-
ance Of Henry Clay. Some pun, critic might
object 10 her month, hands, or feet, but tho
tout ensemble wonld he there, and give dignity
and character TO the personation."

Mason AND D1xoN's LlNE.-The survey
Of the section Of the boundary line Of
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland,
authorized by the Legislature of the res
pectivc States, under u joint commission
has been completed.
Col, Graham and Lieut.. Thorn, of the I,
S. Typographical Corps, were the Engi-
neers, having been assigned to the duty
by the War Department at the request Of
the Governors Of the three States.
This section comprises small part of
the celebrated Mason and Dixon's line,
and it is interesting to know that it was
surprisingly accurate.-NIost of the monu-
ments were found entire. OF these, every
fifth stone, at distances of five miles, is or
namented on one side with the soul pturcd
arms OF Lord Baltimore, and on the other
with thoseSof the Penn family The
stones are Of granite, and the engraving
was doubtless executed in England.
The chief object of the survey was to
determine the exact character and position
of small fraction of Pennsylvania Terri
tory lying IN an angle between the Della
ware and Maryland lines, which was &C
comp1ished without difficulty. The angle
was found to correspond exactly with the
old corners as marked. Much interest
was excited among the inhabitants, and
the change OF allegiance was not atoge'h-
er rellshed in one or two instances, in one
case, a gentleman who has represented his
district to the Legislature OF Delaware, is
now, or ought to be, loyal citizen OF the
Keystone State.
To revert to the Mason and Dixon line
it is gratifying circumstance that the
location Of it was committed, by the En-
glish Government, to such able hands.
Charles Mason was, indisputable one OF
the most accomplish scientific men OF his
times; and was, for some years, attached
to the Royal Observatory. His ohserva-

EXTRAORDINARY Discovery IN CALIron
NIA.-lhr following is an extract from
let er to his wife by New Yorker, now
working IN the mines OF California. Tho
letter bears date Aug o6, 1919.
There was a gold mine discovered
here what is called Murphy's diggings)
one week to-day II is evidently the
work Of ancient times--210 feet dec,
situated o. he summit OF Very high
mountaio. 1t has made great excite
rnent here. as it was several avs BE- lore
preparations co"ld be n,ad+ to descend
to tn" bottom. here was found III it
til" bon OF Il human beng, also an all
tar Tor wor hip. and some other eviden-
ces of human labor. From present in
dlcations it is doubtful whether it will
pay to be worked, as it is mostly all rock
and will require G eat out ay for tools
and machinery to work it,
The discovery ifprop"rly pursued by
competent observers, may prove Of the
highest historical importance. 1t will
establish the feet that the mineral wealth
OF thai region has been known to prpce-
ding generations, and the relics which
have survived, may on lghten us, as to
the nationality OF the people who first
pierced this noun ain two hundred and
ten feet and will DOUBTLESS suggest an
Inquiry into the reason for abandoning
the pursuit of gold in country in which
it seems to abound: and where ITS discov-
erers found encouragement to make such
extensive excavation in former times.
