A FLEETING JoY.-The Providence Tran
script says that about three weeks since two
men by the name of Rufus NJ. Rose and
Francis Con, discovered, behind bridge
abutment in Wexford, which they were re-
pairing, seven pieces of copper pipe, filed with
Mexican quarter dollars, amounting in value
to about three hundred dollars. The discov-
erers resolved to keep the matter secret, and
Godon, buying the share of Rose, carried the
whole to the Blackstone Canal Bank, in Prov
idence, and exchanged for gold. Subsequent
ly the teller discovered that the quarters were
remarkably well executed counterfeits, and
seeking out Godon, informed him of the fact,
and effected are-exchange, and the poor man,
who, for few days past, had been building
castles in the air, found his bright hopes for
the future dashed to the ground as suddenly
as they had been awakened. The transcript
says that several quarter uollers similar to those
counterfeit coins, have recently been discover
ed in circulation in Providence, which leads
to the supposition that the rogues are not far
distant

ZINc.-By the analysis of some of the most
ancient coins, and of metallic vessels taken
from the excavations at Herculaneum, it is
found that they contain portion of zinc-yet
to moderns zinc is new metal at all. HON.
burg-a philosopher who wrote about that
period-says: Zinc is compound ofiron and
tin; !" thus implying that it had no individual
existence, but that it was compound. Such,
however, is not found to be the case by mod
ern chemists Indifferent as we are to 'a bit Of
zinc" there are few substances that have rem
dered more service, or been more instrumental
to the cause of science and the progress of
knowledge, than this metal. Considered in
relation to its own qualities, it possesses rare
interest. Certain combinations of this metal
with copper, under the euphonious names of
tomback, brass, pinchbeck, have been used in
the arts, especially in China, from time i'm.
memorial. In the Celestial Empire zinc in
great purity is used for current coin. This
money has frequently Tartar characters on
the reverse.

The trial of this case occupied the time of the
Court on Thursday Verdict for plaintiff for
1886. H. Williams for plaintiff. F. Wayland,

This was an action brought by Hon. c. Will
lard against the proprietors of the City Coal
Yard, near the intersection of Portland and Park
streets, and excited good deal of interest, as it
led to an extended Investigation, occupying the
Court for several days, to determine whether the
yard, situated as it is, is nuisance, such as to
make its proprietors liable to occupants of ada

The case goes up to the Supreme Court upon

EIoHTY YEARS A PRIsoNER.- of
the New Orleans PicayUae, in letter from
Paris to that paper says ga tough and har-
dy old fellow recently passed through Lyons,
on his way to Savoy, his native country. No
less than eighty years, when he was forty
one, he was sentenced to the French gallies,
for life, for some crime. At the commence
ment OF our revolution, then being a middle
aged-man, he WIS shut ont from the world,
barring the chances Of an escape, at bagne.-
The other day he was released, at the age of
one hundred and twenty.one. No cause is
assigned, but the probability is that the gov
eminent thought that he had worked out more
THAI natural life in the galies, and that he
was past doing any harm. 1t is said that he
has little property in Savoy the interest on
which has been accumulating exactly one
hundred years, or since he arrived at the age
Of twenty-one. The old fellow enjoys perfect
health, although he stoops so much that his
face nearly touches his knees"

HORTICULTURAL Exhibition. trust that
the Horticultural Exhibition of the present week
will excel that of any preceding year. 1t surely
will, if the people of Worcester and the other
towns within reasonable distance, make it what
they can without any unreasonable effort. No
man, who has good specimens of fruit, of any
valuable variety, should be deferred from the Ex-
hibition of them, by the apprehension that Others
may exhibit as good or better of the same kind
Suppose they do, his will still aid in charging
and adding interest to the exhibition, and if they
should not, he will have the satisfaction of know
ing,that,at trifing sacrifice he has added an at
traction of which, otherwise, the Exhibition would
have been deficient. Besides, the multiplication
of specimens, even of the same kinds, is inn
portant as showing the influence of different
soils, locations, aspects, and exposures, on the
same fruits-a subject yet quite too imperfect
ly understood amongst us, and too little studied
want of this kind Of knowledge has often led
to the rejection of some of the most valuable
fruits that have been introduced amongst us.
We have already published list of the premi-
ums offered, and the rules by which the awards
thereof are regulated. The Exhibition will com
mence on Tuesday evening, at six o'clock, and
will close on Friday evening the 2Sth, at the same
hour. The Hall will open for the receipt of con-
tributions on Tuesday morning, and all articles
to compete for the premiums, must be entered
with the Secretary before nine o'clock on We'd
nesday morning 1t is desirable that all entries
may be made by that time but for the accommo-
dation of those whose convenience will not per-
NIT so early entry, their specimens will be re-
ceived for exhibition through the day, unless all
the space on the tables should be sooner oc-
cupied.
We trust that the Committee on Premiums will
be promptly on hand, Wednesday morning, so as
to make the necessary examinations and deter.
mine the premiums in the course of that day, so
that the premium collections and dishes may
be labelled for the information of visitors, as is
done at the Exhibition in Boston. 1t adds great
ly to the interest of the occasion, and, probably
to the amount Of the receipts for admission to the
Hall.

WING MEETING.-The "Whigs of this city,
in favor of being represented in the State Com
vention to be holden in Worcester, October ID. :"
met at Brinley Hall, on Saturday evening last
About one hundred persons were present includ-
ing general sprinkling of members of all the
old parties. General George Hobbs was called
to the chair, and Isaac H. Upton chosen Secre-
tary Committee was appointed to report
list of delegates, and while they were out, sew
erai members were called upon to express their
views.
Dwight Foster, Esq, was first called up. He
said he had been Wing. and had seen no reason
for changing his principles, but should support
the ticket nominated by the Convention on
Thursday last, as best calculated to carry his
principles out
General Charles Devens, Jr., being then called
out, stated his entire satisfaction with the nomi-
nee for Governor on the Republican ticket, and
indicated that he should have his vote
O. K. Wetherell, Esq, was the next speaker,
and went in strongly for the continuation of the
Wing name and organization. Without commit
ing himself but that he should vote for Julius
Rockwell, he expressed the ardent hope that the
wing party, with which he had always acted and
to which he should always adhere, if he was left
solitary and alone in its ranks would come round
upon the good old platform of principles, upon
which it formerly stood. Admitting these to be
identical with those of the Republican party, he
thought there was great deal in a name. He
preferred the good old whig name.
VIM. M. Bckford, Esq, made some extended
remarks, denunciatory of the Know Nothing par
ty of last year, stating that it was got up by the
Free Sellers, for the sake of electing Henry Will
son Senator, and enacting ultra anti-Slavery leg
islation He was very severe upon the Free Soil
ers and Abolitiousts, declaring that their extrem
course had frightened the chains of the slaves, &C.
The late coalition received some severe thrusts
from his sarcasm, upon the inconsistency of the
Free Democracy in supporting, for State officers,
men, Numerically opposed to them on national
issues, on the great question of the day. He
was down hard upon State officials, who, last
year, on the eve of the election, seeing how it
was going, crept into the dark lantern party, to
save their heads He said he could not say that
he should not vote for Rockwell for Governor,
but thought it would be bitter pill if he did.
Disseminating committee reported the follow
ing names for delegates to the State Convention,
which were unanimously adopted.
Hon. Emory Washburn, Geo. 7. Rice, Chas.
Deyens. Jr., John Hammond Francis H. Kinni-
cult, George Hobbs, Ephraim Mower, Samuel
Perry, VIM. NJ. Bickford, Fitzroy Willard, VIM.

GEN. SCoTT AND THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Daily Times telegraphs that little con-
troversy is going on between the Secretary of
War and General Scott, in regard to the six
months leave of absence granted by the latter
to General Hitchcock. The Secretary of War
countermanded Gen. SCOTS permission, lat the
same time demanding his reason for granting
it. General Scott replied that he was not re-
sponsible to the Secretary for his action in such
cases, and that hereafter he would oblige him
by addressing official communications to him
through the President, to whom alone he was
responsible. The correspondence is not yet
closed. 1t will undoubtedly be communica-
ted to the Senate at the next next session, if
not, it will be called for by a special resolu-
ton.

had an earnest supporter in him prior to his nom
ination:

reference to our State policy, is likely to pre-
vent the true expression of the common SEN
timent which pervades these parties and or
CARNATIONS, upon these great national ques-
tons, some remedy in good faith, should be
sought, by which a clear and powerful ex-
preston of that sentiment can be secured.-
1t should be faithfully sought, with mutual
respect to the feelings and opinions of indi-
viduals and parties. If we cannot agree up
on other questions, yet can we not manifest
our agreement upon this ? In his Judgment,
the progress which had been mede towards
this object, ought to encourage us with good
hope that it will be attained, and ought to
secure our assistance He was willing to
forego any personal or party feeling, and to
unite, in good faith, for the accomplishment
of the object indicated, and cared not who
were candidates for office, provided they were
true on this question, and embodied the senti-
ment of the people"
