A MYSTERIOUS BoS.-The treasurer Of Am.
hcrst College has lately received from Daniel
Sears Of Boston, a heretofore liberal benefac-
tor of the college a small and carefully sealed
box, with the instruction that it is not to be
opened for one hundred years on pain Of a
forfeiture of the gift which it contains. Spec.
ulation is at fault as to the contents and the
reasons for the accompanying condition. TIL
shrewdest guess is, that The box holds deeds
Of real estate in Boston now under lease fol-
100 years, but then to be transferred to the

1--WE are, says a Washington letter, only
ninety days from the Presidential election,
the most critical that we ever yet had. Yet
there is not so much feeling apparently in
the result as has been shown on comparatively
unimportant occasions. This is, however, the
dead season of the year. A month hence,
after all the State party Convention are over,
the political campaign will begin in earnest
and with much animation.
