On all the lands there is fair proportion of fine
river bottom above overflow and the whole of The

essary to say anything in praise Of these lands
than simply to remind the public that they are situ-
aed in a section Of country whose resources are Just
now beginning to be developed, the immense water
power of the old Stone Fort having lately passed into
the hands of gentmen who know their value and
while it is true that they were purchased at a very
low rate that fact will but enable the holders to
work them more extensively and proftably. The
voice of our State Legislature was almost unani-
nous in favor of Manchester as the point at which
to locate the State Prison, and should the Commits
siOners appointed for the purpose of selecting To-
cation be of the same opinion and Place it at Man
chester, the day will not be very far distant when it
will be known as the centrel manufacturing town
In that event the value of theseands can only be
guessed at.

fate, amid the rapturous shouts Of all present.
There having been some misstatements respecting
the suicide of Alexander Humes, eldest son Of Mr.
James Humes contractor of this city, at Blairstown
New-Jersey, The Newark Mercury gives the following
facts:
1.-TWO years ago he received fall while attending
school at Florida New York which resulted in insan-
ty which lasted several days Evidence Is not want
ing to prove that the functions of the brain were I'M
paired by that event For a week previous 10 the sui
eide he was excused from his studies in consequence OF
illness. He often spoke of headache-he said be was
surrounded by enemies and threw out hints which are
now understood to have forshadowed the event. Ills
letters and journals show that he was gloomy
for some time previous and that tribes were
msgnifed until they assumed to his diseased
mind the mort gigantic proportions lie constantly
threatened suicide In the village though In Jocos
manner, as well as 10 his companions. He spoke
esingy so often that in his ordinary state OF mind 1t
was not easy TO tell when he was in earnest. His oc-
casio nal wildness of manner is now remembered
though it excited no observation before. II now ap
pears that his mind was long bent upon suicide by
hanging. Whether the pamphlet Of Hicke which he
read carefully and the affair of Harden with which he
was familiar seemed to direct his attention to the sub
iect is not known, certain il is that these publications
do far more harm than good"

THE REMAINS OF AMERICAN AND BRITISH SOLDIERS.
The telegraph informs Of the discovery OF the re-
mains of British and American soldiers near the Old
Fort at Toronto The Daily Globe of that city, OF
the 18th, has the following:
On the afternoon of Friday while the workmen
emp Dyed at the excavation for the bridge at me va
Fort, were digging the surface opposite Dillon
Tavern they brought to light the remains OF several
human beings. 1t was at suspected that the bod,
les were hose OF the British and Americans VINO ten
in the conflict which took place IN front OF the tort IN
the year 1879 considerable crowd soon collected,
and Sergesnt-Major Barlow, of the One Hundredth,
Mr.. Dillon and Others went 10 work along with the
aborers and in short space OF me they SUCCEEDED IN
exhuming fifteen bodies. From the position In which
they were found it appeared evident that they had
been buried In trench near the place where they e
Several buttons bayonet pieces Of officers epaulets,
and portions of clothing were found In the trench.
One of the buttons appears have belonged to one OF
the men Of the gallant Eighth British Grenadlers.
Another has the letters p R. 0graved upon it, and
shows that it was at time attached TO the coat Of
one Of the Pennsylvania Rangers. third has simply
the letters " U. S." engraved on it. couple OF
copper cents and Mexican coin were found near the
bodies.
"The discovery of these remains will bring 10 the
remembrance of those who fought and bled in the War
of 1872 1913 and 1874 the struggle which took place
in front of the Old Fort in the Summer Of 1873 and
which was broue TO speedy termination by the ex
plosion Of the magazine. At the time referred TO Gen.
Sheaffe was in com pand of the fort his forces only
amounting TO about 700 British soldiers and Canadian
militia, with 100 Indians. Early one morning the
Americans succeeded, after sharp conflict in landing
force of 200 men, from fourteen armed ships, In
the woods near where the new garrison now stands
detachment of the Eighth Regiment were sent out TO
prevent the landing if possible, and in the fierce strug
gle which ensued in the woods and thickets they lost
more than half their number of men. One account
states that when they left the fort they 120 strong
but the following morning only % answered to their
Gen. Sheate, at the head of his small force
made stout resistance but finding the enemy
two to one he was at enth after gallant struggle,
compelled TO retreat. The assaiants advanced upon
them, but when opposite the fort the powdermagazine
exploded and 200 Americans, with their commander,
Gen. Piks were killed the spot and also a number
of British soldiers 1t is stated that large numbers of
the slain buried the spot where the bodies
wsre found on Friday. The remains were carefully
collected placed in box, and buried by fatigue party
belonging to the Royal Canadian Rifles"
