MYSTERIOUS VAULTS IN OHIo.-JdckS0n,
Ohio, Feb q, 1859.-Our village is full of
wonder and excitement. Martin Marker, j.
w. Hughes and Washington Long, in digging
grave in the cemetery near this village.
about ten O'Clock this morning, came to a large
flat stone about four feet below the surface,
which stopped their further progress until they
procured assistance and removed the stone
from its resting place of ages, when it was
found to have closed the entrance to a subter-
ranean vault. All efforts thus far three Z.
Nj to enter it with light have proved unsuc,
cessful, on account of the foul air with which
it is filled. By means of rake, human bones
OF gigantic size have been raised, and a small
chain OF silver, with coins attached to each
end. The coins, though much defaced by
time, have the appearance of those in use
among the Romans in the days of Cicero Afri-
canus, though there were evident traces of hi
erogl yphic devices that cannot be deciphered.
The men at the cemetery have, by means of
burning straw, made light in the vault, and
though none have the courage to venture any
further than the entrance, it has been discover
ed that there is, Immediately to the West of
the opening, chamber about ten feet square,
with steps quite dilapidated, down its Eastern
side. Three other chambers branch out of
this one to the North, one to the West, and
the other to the South.
We are all curious, of course, to know when
and by whom these vaults were made and
filled. Rev. Mr.. Hunter Mr.. Armstrong and
and DIR. Knouff have examined them, and all
give it as their opinion that these vaults were
made by the same people who built the mounds
in the Southern part Of the State.
The questions present themselves to every
one Who made these vaults and filed them {?

LYcEUM AND LIBRARY ASSOCIATION. -
AT meeting of the Directors of this Associa-
ton, last evening, the final report of the Com
mittee on the Fair was submitted accompanied
by check for $1810,25 which covers the net
proceeds of the Fair. The Secretary of the
Children's Friend Society acknowledged the
receipt of S362,05, one fifth of the proceeds,
presented to that society.
The report Of the Committee was accepted,
and the thanks of the Board were unanimously
rendered to the Chairman of the Committee
and his associates, as well as to the Hon. A.
H. Bulloch, Edwin Bynner, Edward r. Fiske,
Samuel Hathaway, VIM. B. Taber, the Wor-
cester City Guards, to the proprietors of the
newspapers, and the members of the Sub
Committees.
The small deficit occasioned by the storm
on the night of the ball, has been fully made
up by private generosity, without affecting
the legitimate proceeds of the Fair.

DIVINE SERVICE AT THE HosPITAL.-Rev.
Mr.. Souther, who, for the present, will supply
the desk at the Hospital, preached Sunday af-
ternoon an excellent discourse from Isaiah 40 /:
81. "But they that wait upon the Lord shall
renew their strength they shall mount up
with wings as eagles; they shall run and not
be weary and they shall walk and not be
faint" "To wait" is both passive and active.
The latter was intended as the word is used
in the text. This life is a journey, and it is
desirable to know how this journey may be
accomplished with the greatest comfort and
ease. This, the text tells us, can be done by
waiting on the Lord How then can we wait
upon him! By obtaining knowledge of him
in his word; by attending upon the ordinances
of the sanctuary by secret prayer; by per-
forming every known christian duty, our
strength may be renewed, Intellectually and
spiritually. The greatest minds have bowed
to the majestic truths of the Bible, and have
found deeper and richer fountain of knowl-
edge, sweeter and more exhaustess, than in
all human sciences. The unlearned too, have
been made wise in this knowledge, and all
men, by waiting on the Lord, may SO renew
their strength from day to day, as to be able
to triumph over all that besets the traveller
through the journey of life, and at last to
come off victorious over death and the grave.
The whole discourse was eminently prac-
teal, was well prepared, and calculated to do
great good. The singing on this occasion, by
the Hospital choir, was most excellent.
We were much interested in these services,
and came away greatly pleased at the propri-
ETY. and general neatness which prevailed
among the audience, composed principally, as
it was, of the patients at the Hospital, THOUGH

D- 1t is very gratifying to our pride, as
Americans, to hear of the continued success of
the Atlantic Monthly, and to know that a lit

flash or clap-trap, secures generous support
The subscription to it has already reached to
over forty thousand or more than double the
highest number ever attained by Putnam's

long time, one of our fellow citizens, and its

ANOTHER SICKLEs TRAGEDY-DoMEsTIC
TROUBLE AT BATAvIA-THE SEDUCER SHOT.
The Rochester Union and Advertiser, of
Friday, has the following:
At Batavia this morning David Curry, an
Irishman, shot John Foster, an Englishman.
His wife had been keeping house for Foster,
some time, and Curry requested her to come
home She refused. They quarrelled last
night Foster and two other men beat Curry
badly.
Foster was shot just above the abdomen, the
ball passing through his body, and lodging in
a fence post. Foster died few hours after
wards. Foster was passing on the opposite
side of the street from Curry's house, and on
his way to his work. He was about 80 years
of age, and a laborer. Curry was Immediately
arrested, and committed to Jail. There is con-
siderable excitement in Batavia in regard to it.

SENATOR ANTHoNY.-Among the new Sen
ators who took their seats at the opening of
the present extra session, is Hon. HENRY B.
ANTHONY, of Rhode Island. Mr.. Anthony
has been Governor of the State, but is best
known as the editor of the Providence Jour-
nal, which paper he has conducted with signal
ability for the last quarter of a century We
congratulate Rhode Island for sending so able,
industrious and faithful man to the upper
branch of Congress; and we congratulate the
Republican Party upon this addition to their
real ,corkers in that body. Mr.. Anthony does
not possess remarkable speaking talent; but
there are few men who better understand the
general politics of the country, parliamentary
usages, or the true interests and policy of New
England. We therefore predict that Govern
or Anthony will prove very useful Senator,
and reflect high honor on himself and the
State which he represents.
During Mr.. Anthony's absence at Washing
ton, the Journal will be edited by his brother
in-law, John R. Bartlett, at present and for sew
eral years Secretary of State for Rhode Island.
