REMAINS or A ROMAN CITY ~ ENGLAND.
We learn from the London Times, that the
Duke of Cleveland, has let to the committee
Of excavations four acres of ground ut Wrox-

hitherto been carried On, and two additional
acres adjoining, to be kept permanently open
10 the public and not to be filled up again
Four acres ofthc buildings ofa Roman town in
Britain, ruined in the fifth century, will tru
ly be an interesting monument. The recent
excavation proves beyond a doubt that the
whole mass Of the ancient Roman city-that
is the floors and lower parts of the walls-ex-
lists under ground, and also that better place
could not have been chosen for excayatingt than
that selected. The southern, and apparent

containing the hypocausts. and believed TO

A San Francisco letter describing the

."Then comes a great time, and the hug
ging and kissing begin-such awkward
kissing too; random shots. an outrageous
waste Of the good things Of this life.
Sometimes kiss lights on the nose, eye,
ear, or is lost in head Of mussed-up hair.
A bonnet stands no kind Of a chance-it
gets smashed on the first movement, and
by the time woman has got through and
been passed from hand to hand, or rather
arms to arms, ofbrolhers, cousins, friends
and acquaintances. she is pitiable object,
and presents the appearance Of having
gone through an Irish row--red ey es, hair
down, bonnet smashed and knocked a.
round on one side Of the head, shaw
askew, ,and the general symmetry Of her
figure destroyed by pockets stuffed full oI
donations from friends--apples, cakes
ginger snaps, letters, a little good bran

Mrs. Juliette Mason, daugh.er OF the late
Josiah Hedges, and relict Of the ,ste Dr.
Joseph Mason, aged about Al years.
The death Of this excellent lady will
cause deep regret to all who had an &C.
quaintance with her. She was dutiful
wife,an affectionate daughter and devo-
ted, loving mother. Her disease was con-
sumption. During her long illness she
bore herself with exemplary patience and
fortitude. She commenced sinking rap
idly on Saturday last, and though aware
that she. was rapidly approaching the
"dark valley" she was neither frighten.
ed nor cast down, for she knew she had
Saviour to lean upon, who would wei.
come her to the abode Of the blest. On
Monday evening, calling her weeping
children and her friends to her bedside
she bid them long. kind farewell. sta.
ting 10 them that she was resigned and
happy, saying in her last faint whisper
Il am nearing home" Truly-truly-

are big stories everywhere Of rich place.
in this and that place, but when you GO
there, tits like the milk sickness, some
where else. He says:-I would advise
all who think Of going to wait till lst Of

will keep till after that time, and if they
are not, we will by that time. have am
