valuable and interesting relic of the olden times,

old French fort, on Monday evening. The article
found is the outside case Of an old French gold WATCH
with many evidences on its surface of having been
in use, and has it's back the following inscription
engraved in rough and unsymmetrical characters
Presented to James Wetherell by his friend George
Washington, May 8, 1905" This date corresponds
with the time that Braddock set out with his ill
ated expedition for the conquest of Fort Duquesne
It was about the LIST Of May of that year that he
crossed the Potomac river, on his road to the Ohio.

within twelve miles of the fort, at point on the

rerretrate slight mistake. A newsman stepped
into the cars at Framinghsm. We were anxious to

"tle change" without delay. But we did not see
the newflnan. On looking round, we saw gentle
man having papers under his arm, and Of course he
must lie the man. Handing him the two pennies
we said, "Ifareiier." He promptly and good.na-

to his end by casualty at the Isle of Shoals and
coroner from Portsmouth visited the island to make
an inquest Twelve jurors were summoned from

of them returned and informed the coroner that he
would hold but six. They were again instructed
and sent in. They reported that he was drowned.
They were again sent back for further investigation.
In due time they returned with the report that they
had nOtched on one stick all of his good deeds they

The CONNECTICUT LIQUOR LAw.-The Hartford
Times Of the 22d inst. in commenting on the liquor
law recently passed by the Legislature, says:-The
liquor law just passed in this State provides that If
liquor is found In any place except dwelling house
it shall be deemed in evidence having been offered
for sale-no matter whether il Is in barn, and
locked in with Gouble bolts No matter If it was
offered for sale, il 10 found in store house,
and this fact is priina face evidence that II has
been offered for sale. ID If offered for sale it must
be forfeited. and the owner punished. Sd. If it is
bad liquor it must be destroyed. 4th. If it is good
liquor valuable property it must go into the hands
Of town agent, and be sold for the benefit of the
town. We venture that property owned by an indi-
yidual was never confscated on any such principles
in the most despotic government in the world.
5th. Any three electors, whether they can read or
not, may be grand jurors to try cases under this
act. This clause is inserted to defeat the popular
will in any town where the electors might see fit to
elect grand jurors who would not be very unreason.
able in their prosecutions. The Office of grand
juror is elective. It is an important Office. The
prosecutions of grand juror involve expenses
which the town must pay, and the electors Of each
town have heretofore been permitted to select these
officers. But this new liquor law makes any three
electors of q town, grand Jurors. This is q most
extraordinary stretch of power on the part Of the
Legislature and it is certainly applied in the oosest
and most dangerous manner.

buffalo, or other East india hides imported in bales
chiefly in this State, and which would swell the
amount as to make the Importation of Boston and
Salem together almost equal that of New York. In
1851 the number imported into Boston exceeded
100000; and, will be by the table, there has
been considerable falling off during the last three
years. This is to be attributed partly to the dis
eovery OF gold in California, which eiectualy closed
ly to the civil and contentious of South Amerl
ca, which. by keeping that country in an unsettled
state, have materially diminished another source Of
supply, and partly to the fact that New York dealers
