our,ous Etbuolor,ca, Discovery.

A very important chronological discovery
was made on Friday last at Newark, N. j.,
by Mr.. David Wyrick, while searching among
the ancient works near that city for bones,
Mr. Wyrick has been resurveying these
works, and bestowing much attention on
their peculiarities; and in the prosecution of
his labors threw out stone about five inches
long, highly polished, and having on each of
its four sides Hebrew inscription, The
Hebrew letters are neatly engraved and en-
tirely distinct.
The stone has been submitted to Hebrew
scholars, who translate its notices as follows:
''The Law of the Lord;' "The Word of the
Lord" ''The King of the Earth" ''The Holy
of Holies.p These are all eminently Hebraic,
and the writing is also said to be good He
brew, The stone was found about two and
a half feet below the surface Of the ground,
in one of the numerous 'sink-holes, as they
are called, which cluster around our ancient
work, and are supposed to be burial places.
The stone is said to be Masonic emblem; but
that fact does not detract from its interest,
1t points to some connection between those
ancient works and the old Hebrews. We do
not despair of further lighton this interesting
snhieCt

A DescriptIop Of Burtholomew,s Fair,


In Hopkins's ''Puritans' occurs the follow
ing: .,.
One man stood there alone, plainly dressed
in smock and hose, a dagger in his girdle, a
sprig of holly in his cap, burning torch in
his hand, and pile of bullets and fnrze fag-
gots by his side. As the bugler wound his
last note the great door of the church, before
which had just gathered aparty Of horsemen,
was thrown open and gave passage TO some
forty or fifty well-dressed burghers, each
laden with the spoils of Popery stripped from
the church and from neighboring chapels,
shrines and converts. AS they made their
appearance and moved under escort of the
cavaliers, all wearing badges of living green,
the whole multitude gave pealing shout of
welcome. The torch-bearer lighted the pile;
and while the Queens commissioners and
they who bore the trophies were passing the
short intervening space, IL had come to blaze
and crackle merrily. As each burgher
reached the FIRE, he cast his burden beside it,
''the people looking on with great wonder"
and glee. The executioner if we may 80 call
him, during this performance went through
variety of pantomime, expressive of disgust,
horror contempt, and hate, for the objects
thrown at his feet.
1t was motley pile, and, for burnt-offer-
ing, strange one; tables, shrine-coverings,
trindals, rolls of wax, saints big and little,
fragments of affairs, Popish books, surplices,
and copes banners, altar-cloths, rood-cloths,
and cruci6xes. The solitary official now
commenced his task, taking the several
objects from the pile and throwing them one
by one upon the flames, with the same variety
of grimaces and contortions with which he
had received them. At each immolation the
people shouted; but they seemed to have
special antipathy to the Roods-images of
Christ on tho Cross with Mary and John
standing by-for whenever one of these was
thrown upon the fire, their shouts were re-
doubled and prolonged. Such was the first
burning of Popish relies by the Queens COM
missioners, in obedience to the twenty-third
article of her injunctions; making atonement
as it were, for the many holy men and holy
women that were not long before roasted to
death there" During the whole, "such were
the shoutingS and applause of the vulgar sort
as if it had been the sacking of some hostile
city,"

The Tomb Of Sir waiter Scott.

o A correspondent Of the Boston TrdVeller
writes as follows of his visit to Abbotsford,
and the tomb Of Scott rr 1Gt "a.
To-day sitting at the window Of the little
inn at Melrose, we rest an hour or two before
leaving their charming shrines. Dryburg
Abbey, yesterday evening, in the setting
sunlight, was all that romance and poetry
have pictured IT, and Sir Walters grave, as
we stood leaning over his tomb, was cheered
by o robin red-breast singing loud and clear
in neighboring tree. Before visiting Dry
burg, we spent several hours at Abbotsford,
now seeming deserted residence, for Mr..
Hope Scott and his little daughter are in
London, and the place is left with servants.
Fording the Tweed just after smart shower,
which made every bush brighten, and every
blade of grass greener, we walked through
the avenue leading to the house without
meeting soul. -n-t
Arrived at the porter's lodge, no ringing
of bells, or pounding on doors could induce
human being to appear so we opened the
lawn gate and rambled about the grounds,
not even n dog or cat coming out to see who
were intruding upon the premises. We
thought our visit would be finished and we
should get away without meeting any one
from the house, but tidy little Scotch dame
came at last, wiping the corner of her mouth
turbed at her lunch. Notwithstanding she
had been obliged to leave her ale and sand
wich, her temper was by no means ruffled,
and in five minutes she became so minutely
photographed that we had all the items Of
her bustling existence spread out like pocket
map before us.
Sir Walters study looked the same as
when saw it ten years ago, but the library
seemed less cared for. We went into the
room where the minstrel died, and the same
sounds from the river that fell on his dying
ears came up through the open window OF
the apartment. The present occupant, who
married a daughter of Locxhart, is Roman
Catholic, and we were told by one of his
neighbors that he was "a guide kind mon.'
Coming away from the house we fell in with
an old friend of Tom Purdie, who had many
good words to say for that worthy person.
He had also known Sir Walter, but he con-
sidered him too great scholar for so humble
a body as himself to be on very familiar
terms with. ....H.
Abbotsford is a sad place now, and one
can not go to it, remembering how cheerful
it was once, without sigh that all have
passed away who were so happy under its
roof but few years ago.

The Quarrel Between President Buchanan
and Senator Gwin.

This was, says the New York Tribune, per-
haps, the most violent personal scene which
the President hds confronted since entering
office, although he has had to encounter
many disagreeable passages. Mr.. Gwin and
his household had been ON the most familiar
footing at the White House. and through
that relation exercised no little power else
where. The constant exactions were found
worse than annoying, and the President
finally refused some demand point blank.
This led to an explosion, and Mr.. Gwin told
him emphatically, that he was unworthy of
friends, and henceforth, neither he nor his
Administration need expect any support at
his hands.
Mr.. Buchanan is not the man to forget
such an indignity. Though he may fail to
resent it, he will probably have pacific over
lures made to Mr.. Gwin, as was done to his
friend, Robert j. Walker. But if accepted,
they will be followed by the same result in
one case as the other. Mr.. Walker consented
to a reconciliation only to find himself again
deceived But Mr.. Gwin knows better,
and will not take promises for satisfaction.
He must have his pound of flesh or the equiv

The execution Of Martin Ward, the accom-
plice of Jos. Bleyins, in the murder of VIM
Jones, came off in the Delaware District Of
the Cherokee Nation, on Saturday We were
present. together with large cone0urse, TO
witness the sight The prisoner was about
one-eighth Cherokee, and some nineteen or
twenty years of age. He was seated upon
by two oxen, followed closely by his guard,
whose steady tramp and determined looks
said they were ready for the threatened res
cue. In the same wagon with the prisoner
were seated his spiritual counselors, chaunt-
ing in the Indian language q hymn to q very
doleful tune. The prisoner with his white
graye-clothes on, surrounded by the guard
with their glittering weapons, and his rever-
end counsel singing in this doleful manner,
formed an imposing and solemn procession.
When they arrived upon the ground, the
prisoner was taken from the wagon, and
seated on hiscofin in the shade Of large oak,
while prayer was offered up by Parson Cor
rethers for the good of the poor mans soul
when it should wing its fight from this TO
another world; after which he was placed
upon the trap and seated on a chair, the
Sheriff holding over him an umbrella. He
was cool and collected, and with looks claim
ing commiseration he surveyed the silent
spectators many of whose eyes responded to
his claims with plying drops.
He then said
Ladies and Gentlemen My time is short.

forgiven. Gentlemen and ladies' try to meet

He then, for the grst time, burst INTO tears,
and gave vent to emotions which he had so
long and well suppressed. The Sheriff did
his duty like man. In all, he was cool and
determined; at the same time his looks be-
trayed strong sympathy for the prisoner 5
misfortune, aud all that could be was done for
his comfort. The guards bid him adieu, and
turned to wipe the tears from their eyes.
The time was near The fatal moose was ad-
| justed, the hood-wink was drawn over his
| eyes, and shut them out forever from the
| light of this bright world. The excitement
was intense. Many turned and walked of,
while others averted their eyes to avoid the
sight. The Sheriff descended from the trap and
walked around to the trigger, and, at the ex-
piration of the last moment of allotted time,
the trap descended, and Martin Ward was
launched into eternity. With few convul-
sive kicks and expansions of the chest his
spirit was gone. l.., g.s- .. .

DISCOVERY OF COUNTERFEIT MosEY.-Re-
Gently, says the Philadelphia Press, the de-
tective police officers discovered upward of
s., 200 in counterfeit five-dollar bills on the
Commonwealth Bank, at the residence OF
John Myers, grocer. The notes were con-
tanned in package directed to "Theo. Hart,
care of John Myers, grocer" and were left at
the place by the Express messenger while the
officers were watching. Myers, and his
brother Oliver, were arrested, and after a
hearing before Alderman Beitler were COM
mitted in default of $4,000. The counterfeit
five-dollar bills on this bank were recently
SO numerous, and so well executed, that the
bank has, for some time past, not issued any
bills of this denomination, but has taken
measures to redeem all the outstanding notes
and has called in about 500 900 out of $66, 00C
in circulation. The bank has issued a new
five-dollar note from a new plate, designed
to take the place of the old issue.

A Courageous Woman in Hnvana-Five
Robbers Defeated by one Female.

We translate from a correspondence in a
late number of La Pensa, the following;
At a place not very far from this city, (Ha-
vanal about eight o'clock P. NJ, a few days
ago, five individuals presented themselves at
the dwelling-house of a half-ruined planta-
ton, inhabited by a couple with one small
child--the mother being at that moment
playing with the infant, while the husband
was quietly conversing with her. The five
robbers entered the dilapidated house, three
through the back door and two by the front.
One Of the latter fired at the owner of the
premises, doubtless with the intention of kill
ing him, that they might rob with impunity,
at least such is the natural supposition, as
the fnmily had about 81, 900 in their posses
sion. The ball from the pistol fred by one
of the robbers, passed at a slight distance
from the mans head, and entered one of the
doors behind him, producing no worse effect
than causing the farmer a sort of stupor, and
he remained as in swoon.
His wife seeing this with admirable sang
froid extinguished the light placed her child
under the table and quietly. managed to get
hold of pair of loaded pistols, which her
husband had hanging on the wall, and fired
them off in the direction she saw the robbers;
the result of this intrepid and courageous act
was the death of one of the bandits and the
wounding of another. The husband, recover
ing his senses, and ignorant of the deed of his
wife, called her to hand him his pistols, to
which she replied; "Here, take them and
load them, for have fired at both the robbers,
and do not know if they are dead or
wounded, but can tell you, that there are
three more of them" II seems that these
last instantly took flight, and some neigh
bors arriving a few moments after, only
found one expiring in the yard and the
wounded one attempting to escape.
