The Pe.riied skulls.

The wonderful human skulls and other bones
found several weeks ago in cave i'll Caaveras
county, will be opened to the public on Monday
next, at Warren's Agricultural Exhibition
These curiosites unexampled. No museum
IN the world can show such human bones, COW
cred with solid stones. One OF the skulls does
not present the least portion Of visible bone
Inside and out, in the eyes, nostrilS, and interi-
OF the Uranium, only stone is visible. These
remains were found III cave about a hundred
feet deep, several weeks since, by couple of
Frenchmen, and all who have seen agree that,
rs natural curioSities, they scarcely to be
surpassed.
The stone deposit is sulphate of lime, which
in It's present form is termed Alabaster, and
when ground fine is known as Plaster of Paris
In some places the stone is an inch thick, in
others scarcely thicker than paper. In some
places beautiful translucent crystal, in others
opaque, and showing to the eye but little marks
OF crystalization. How long since these skulls
Were the dwellings of living souls it were diff
cult to know; probably long before the pres
ent race OF diggers took possession of California
On one skull eightslayers of stone may be count
ed and hundred years would probably be IA
moderate allowance for the deposit of a layer.
1t will be remembered that skulls have been
found more than sixty feet below the surface of
the earth, within the limits of San Francisco
Beyond Market street, about six months ago,
under layer OF mud and shell about SIX feet
thick, and sand sixty feet deep, We're found the
skulls OF men, who existed, perhaps, while the
present Valley OF the Sacramento and San .Joa-
quIn was great lake, which had It's outlet at
Monterey.-.S. f. Ledger.

The D.che., Of su,,..r,.ua

This lady has made herself known great
enemy To negro slavery In the United States
The following incident in the life of the worthy
lady will, doubtless, modify some of the adini-
ration which she may have excited:
The Sutherland estates are the LARGEST, or at
least among the largest, in England. This lady
owns or did own, some twenty years ago, eight
hundred thousand acres of land in the county of
Sutherland, county deriving its name from the
Sutherland family. or perhaps the family takes
Its name from the county. Sutherland is one of
the most northerly counties in Scotland, and at
the iiI"e of which write contained about II. 900
inhabitants OF whom 10000 were tenants upon
the lands OF the Duchess. In Scotland law
prevails by which a landlord may clear his es-
tate OF his tenantry IN summary manner, with
out other process than mere notice to quit
Thus tenants born and raised upon an estate,
and whose ancestors for generations have lived
upon H. may III a moment be driven by mer-
CHESS landlord from homes and scenes Of their
childhood. But for the honor of human nature
be 1t said, such evictions rarely occurred, at
least without strong necessity
1t is now some twenty years or more since the
good Duchess, who was one of the leaders of AL
nacks, finding that her large income was not
sufficient to support her large expenditures, re-
solved TO effect clearance of her Sutherland es-
tate in order to convert it into sheep pasture !
which she thanght would yield larger income.
For this purpose, she employed Mr.. james
Locke, who performed his task with 60 much
fidelity, that in few wesks, more than 10, 900
people We're driven from the homes Of their
childhood. L, was not effected, it is true, with
out resistance, for some there were who clung
TO their early homes until they were burned
down By the agents of Mr.. James Locke, the
agent o. the pious Duchess. The aid of the mill
tary was for a while required to keep in subor-
dinatiQn the angry spirit OF those driven forth to
beggary from the farms made with their own
hands and endeared to them by the associations
of fchildbqod. But order was restored to Su-
therland
When the news of this eviction reached Lon
don it is said that the sentiment of ind gqation
profound and universal Mr.. James Locke
published book to exculpate himself from the
odium attaching to his ptiless transaction. He
was the agent of the worthy Duchess, and had
acted under her orders and did not The worthy
lady want money, and should she not have mo-
ney, even though the thousand human beings
should be driven to punishment and starvation.
1t is proper to add that the county of Sutherland
is now one of the most Aourishing sheep farms
III Scotland, that there are more than "A million
of sheep on it, and that the good Duchess has
more money than she knows what to do with

ballad OF " Lord Ullins Daughter, is taken from

fellow near Kentucky's cline,
Cries Boatunan do not tarry,
Aud III give thee a silver dime,
To row US o'er the ferry"
"Now, who would cross the Ohio
This dark and stormy water ~
q Oh, am this young lady's beau
And she John Thompson's daughter.
/" We've fled before her fathers spite,
With great precipitation,
Aud should he find us here tonight
I'd lose my reputation.
They've missed the girl and purge beside,
His loraenlen bard lave pressed me,
And who will cheer my bonny bride,
ifyet they will arrest met
Out spoke the boatman, then in time,
. You shall not fail, don't fear it,
I'll 90 not for your silver dime,
But Tor your manly spirit.
q And by any word, the bonny bird
as.if In danger shall not tarry,
For though storm is coming on,
III row you DER the ferry"
BY this time the wind more fercely rose,
The boat was at the landing,
And with the drenching rain their clothes
Grew wet where they We're standing.
Bnt still, as wilder rose the wind,
And as the night grew drearer,
just back piece came the police,
Their iramphng sounded nearer.
4" Oh, haste thee, haste I" the lady cries,
It's anything but fuzzy,
I'll leave the light of loving eyes,
But not my .atLers n.oney!''
Aud still they hurried ip the face
OF wind and rain nnsparing
John Thompson reached the landing place,
His wrath turned TO swearing.
For by the iehtning's angry flash,
His cAild he did discover;
One lovely hand held all his cash,
And one was roaud her lover.
/" Come back come back" he cried in woe,
Across the stormy water;
8 But leave the purse and you may 90,

Twas vain; they reached the other shore,
