from the then town of Westerly, to be
called Hopkinton.
So that it will be seen that what is
now, known as the towns Of Westerly,
Charlestown, Richmond,an Hopkinton,
was once in ore town; and originally it
was inhabited by tribe, or a section of a
tribe, called the Nyantics- now spelled
Mantle and called variously ,Sqamicut,
Micquamacuk, and lastly Westerly.
We think from this fact, that the Bank
is to stand on ground once belonging to
the Nantes, and that we have nothing
else bearing their name, it is quite
proper that it should be thus called.
And there is, to us, an euphonious
melody about many of the old Indian
names so pleasing that we could wish to
see more of them perpetuated instead OF
their being blotted from existence to
make room for some harsh foreign desig-
nation, as the re man has been made
to resign his lands to his white
" brothers" O.

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Amongst
the many nostrums that are daily herald
ed forth to the public as panaceas for
nearly all the ills which afllict humanity,
there are, no doubt, many entirely
worthless, and others that possess all the
merit which is claimed for them. Among
this latter class stands foremost the in
valuable family medicine, the name Of
which heads this paragraph, This is no
idle puff. We speak knowingly, having
tested its efficacy on several occasions
within the last year, in our own family.
At this season, wien colds and influenza
are so prevalent, we confidently recon-
mend the free use OF this preparation
1t will be found equally efficacious in
diseases of the throat, and all pulmonary
affections - Virginia Recorder.

Bely" During the past week Boston has
been the scene Of great excitement, as
one of the fruits Of the Fugitive Slave
law and the passage of the Nebraska
bill. Anthony Burns, an alledged
fugitive was arrested at the instance oi
William Brent and Charles f. Suttlc OF
Alexandria, Va, the latter claiming
Burns as his property. On Wednesday
a writ was issued against Brent and Sut-
tie on account of costs, for the recovery
of $4,000 damage. On Friday evening
a large meeting was held in FaneuiI
Hall for the purpose of considering the
matter Of the arrest of the fugitive
Burns. Numerous speeches were made
by some of the most prominent and in.
fuential men Of the city and series O
resolutions passed donouncing the higt
handed outrage. The affair, so far, has
resulted in a serious riot, the death o
one man and the arrest of nine persons
for murder and the calling out Of tn,
military to preserve order but the enc
is not yet.

were greatly disappointed at the failure
Of the eclipse on Friday to terminate all
earthly things. They had confidently
expected to ego up" on that day, and
for that purpose collected on vacant

they waited to be summoned hence.
The eclipse came and went, but left the
world just where it had been, and they
were obliged to postpone their ascent to
some future time.

The streets Of the city, filing in some and
cutting down others. When tho former
process Is being done,it becom 8 necessary
TO raise the houses. You have heard Of
moving houses entire, but here we lift them
up by hydraulic pressure. Whole piles of
brick buildings are being raised In this mode
where the streets have been filled up, and
thus the lower floors are brought up to the
new level of the streets. Last week, n ware
house belonging to Alsup g. Co, fifty feet
front and seventy feet deep, having three
stories aud a basement, a heavy brick
building, was raised five feet, and then un.
der.built with stone, all without moving
out, or even disturbing the clerks with
their pens at the desks. Another store,
not quite so large, but having in it two
thousand tons of hardware, was raised in
six days, and a new story added tot at The
bottom.

and have led to the dis, o ;ery of two hous-
es, facing the sea but on the whole the
results have not been very satisfactory
At Pompeii the excavations, after being long
suspended, have been renewed, and have
brought to light a bronze statue Of Apollo,
of a size rather larger than life. They are
to be continued with the view of discover
ing the walls Of the town. At Canosa,
(Canusium,) in Apulia, the excavation of
Greek tombs have been continued. These
tombs are in the form of small chambers,
with columns and paintings and are found
to contain ornaments, consisting Of collars,
bracelets, diadems, carriages and rings, to-
gether with arm and vases. On the latter
are designs of great beauty, representing on
a black ground red figures of animals and
birds, warriors, &c. These vases are sup
posed by some persons to be Egyptian, by
others Babylonian. At Capua excavations
have led to the discovery of a tomb in the
form of chamber, with several paintings Of
women playing flies, and Of other figures"
