clinging together very curiously. AT a rough csti
mate if the metal prove only silver. we should say
that $50, 900 of treasure has been recovered, which,
with the avails of the machinery, iron, &c, will
make a handsome return for the outlay.
Our article is already so extended that We have
room only to advert to the other ~valuablcs that
have been brought to light, and which even more
than the money, seem to carry the mind by assO-
citation, back to the owners of it all. The house
hold goods, the little familiar articles of property
that SO directly point to home and its Joys, and
tell the tale of sorrow so plainly, watches, with the
hands pointing to the hour when they stopped for
ever, knives, even the little pipes that were in the
pockets of the dead, all act as silent historians and
remembranccrs of the awful event, and seem, by
their familiar look, to take US back, at once, to the
dav and moment when those who used them were
hurried from life into death as horrible as unlocked

Miss Frederjka Bremen has a long letter in the
National Intelligencer on occasion of the present
state of war in Europe, calling upon women to form
societies, "humbly aiming to fulfill the law OF love
laid down by Christ himself, that may hereafter
enter into connection with each other, and strength
en- and extend their activity by united exertion and
consciousness Of a mutual aim" This aim she
specia ly describes as being earring for. children by
means of a Christian education for families, by
exercising Christian influence by the distribution
of work and its just reward for the sick and the
aged, tlOlulnG UHGDl VrOtcCllUn anu IClp lOT
prisoners and other fallen fellow-creatures, by COM
passionate exertions to raise them from their sunk
condition and, finally, by encouraging all institu-
tons and means aiminGt to promote such purposes.
The practical means of gaining these ends Miss
Breemer suggests should be as follows:
First: That there should be a Committee in
the capital of each country, which should enter into
communication with all the different female Socie-.
ties of that land, gather all particulars relating to
them and their work, and thus be able to take IL sur
vey of the whole.
f.,Second That each Central Committee being
the organ of circulation for all other Societies in
that land, should, through its Secretary, or some
other corresponding member, communicate to the
Central Committee Of other countries the princi-
pal details of the work of female Societies in its
own, together with accounts of such industrial eff.
forts or good institutions standing in connection
with the aim ofthe Society that have arisen in their.
country.
"Thhd: That printed circular containing these
details may be sent, free Of postage, at the end of
every year, from every Central Committee to all
those of other countries with whom they stand in
COMMUNICATION"
This proposition is made in behalf of a female be-
nevoleut society in Sweden, known as the Ladies'
Association at Stockholm for the Caroo of Children. r"
Miss Bremen concludes with the following adiura-
ton:
Sisters, who acknowledge the same Lord, let us
unite in his name-let us call forth every good gift
and healing power he has given us-call them forth
PRAY erfully, diligently to do his work more fever
entity than ever before. As far as the sun sends its
rays and the free winds blow over the earth, may
our peaceful messages fly like doves from land to
land, from city to city, undisturbed by the bitterness
of strife, so that the world may know that the God
of Peace and love is more powerful than the spirit
of war, and that he calls us to be his servants"
