Roger WilIlams.

The Providence Journal speaking of the
eXhumation of the remains of Roger VIII
liamS, says that it is known that the tami-
~ burial place was in the field back of the
house of the late Sullivan Door, Esq. The
fact has been handed down that about the
year 174O, his grave had been encroached
upon by a new grave prepared for one OF
his descendants, which seems to show that
its exact locality was not marked then
There is no later account of it. One of the
later descendants of Mr.. Williams, Mr..
Shadrick Randall, of North Providence, has
recently tried to determine the spot, and if
he could recover any remains to remove
them to more public and secure deposit.
Last Thursday the grave was opened. Two
graves were found running into each other,
and without doubt the one farthest west
was that of Williams. But no distinguish
able remains could be found. A number of
nails, small fragment of wood, undoubt-
edly of the coffin, and a mass of black
earth was all that could be reclaimed.
Exchange.
And that is ALTA number OF nails, a
small fragment of wood and a mass of black
earth." This is all that remains of what
was once great man. The end and deSti-
ny of our common humanity. The annihi-
lation of matter. Death, corporeal death

PAID FIRE DEPARTMENTs.--We have been
favored with a pesiISal Of the correspond
enee had about year since with the au-
thorities of various cities by committee
of the Council of indianapolis, relative to
the cost of paid fire departments, their ef-
feets on Insurance. rates, &c. The answers
10 the inquiries made by the indianapolis
committee, from the municipal authorities OF
Boston, Lowell, Lawrence and Worcester,
Massachusetts, Portland, Maine, and other
eastern cities and St. Louis ana Louisville
in the West all state that the rates of iu-
surance have been made less under the pay
systems, especially where steam engines are
used; that the number of fires are not SO
numerous and the loss Of properly is, con-
sequently not near so great. In Louisville
the loss 10y fires for u period ofseven months
under the pay system WAS $4,000, while
for the corresponding period of the preyi-
uus wear, under a volunteer system il was
SI07, 900 The cost of maintaining a steam
engine is, Of course, much greater than that
OF II hand engine, but one steamer will DO
the work of three hand engines, and, in the
aggregate, will cost but little ii any, more
than the number of hand engines which it
will supercede. Two steamers in Indiana
polls will be all that will be required for
many years to come, while under the vol
unteer system from four 10 six hand engines
were maintained costing nearly rs much
as two steamers will cost and not doing as
good services.
The experience of other cities is strength
encd by that of Indianapolis in regard to
the decreased number of fires under the
pay system Since the volunteer companies
were disbandcd, we have had fewer fires and
fewer false alarms than in any period oil
equal length for four or FIVE years past. This
state of things continuing must operate
fayorably for those who have property 10
insure. Aside from the pecunary benefit
accrning, its moral influence cannot he esti-
mated. Volunteer fire companies, in many
cases, are evil associations for boys and
young men-a -aff0rding excuses and means
for spending time wasteiully and forming
vicious acquaintances.--I Ind. Jour.

A VISIT TO THE TOMB OF Col. HAKDEN-
On their return from the funeral obsequies
of Gov Bissell, the Quincy City Guards
stopped at Jaeksonvillea and paid visit to the
tomb of the lamented Col Harden. The
Quincy lFhig and Republican, gives a touch

the cold blast. Again and again | have
seen him go out in the storm, among the
tents of his men, to see that all were made
comfortable as possiblc, without disturbing
