of these were killed by hands of pea
SAINTS armed with muskets, pistols, aud
agricultural implements. Ii is not ne
cessary To insist on the gravity of such
events, which appear not tn be isolated,
and which are likely to be followed by
others in all the Turkish provinces in
which the Sclavonian element is in the
majority. What is taking place at pre-
sent in Mnulenegro indicates clearly
that the people will not remain quiet
spectators of thu insurrectiuu.

his melancholy death shows how Just

manded that the pension accorded to him
should be continued 10 his son.

A SINGULAR LAKE.-There is q lake
covering nineteen hundred acres in
Wright county, Iowa, about one hun
drcd and fifty milos west Of Dubuque,
which is surrounded by a regular stone
wall, five feet wide at the top, and in
some places, where the water would be
likely to overflow the prairie, ten feet
high. AS the pioneers found the wall
there, the question arises, "who built
it?" Another remarkable fact is that
the lake has no visible feeder or outlet.

A BOARDING HOUSE SKETCH.

While General Jackson was President
of the United States, he was tormented
day after day, by importunate visitors
(as most Chief Magistrates of this "green
country are,) whom he did not care to
see, and, in consequence, he gave strict
directions 10 the messenger at the door to
admit only certain persons on a particular
day.
In spite Of this peremptory order how
ever, the attendant bolted into his apart
men., during the forenoon, and informed
the General that person was outside
whom he could not control, who claimed
to see him, orders or no orders.
"By the Ell" exclaimed the old
man, nervously, al won't submit to thi,
annoyance. Who is it!"
"Don't know, sir"
"Don't know! What's his name Z"
"Beg pardon, sir; it is woman"
"a woman Show her in James show
her in," said the President, wiping hi,
face !; and the next moment there entered
the Generals apartment neatly clat
female Of past the "middle age" WHIT
advanced courteously towards the olt
man and accepted the chair profiered her
"Be seated, madam" he said.
"Thank you," responded the lady
