SISGULAR-VERY.-A singular story is
told of on apple tree planted over the grave
Of Roger Williams. This tree had pushed
downward ono Of its main roots in sIopng
direction and nearly straight course, toward
the precise spot that had beon occupied by
tho skull of Roger Williams. There making
turn conforming with it's circumference,
tho root followed the direction of tho back,
bono to tho hips, and thence divided into
two branches, each one following leg bono
to tho heel, whore they both turned up.
ward to the extremities of tho toes of tho
skeleton Ono Of the roots formed a slight
crook at tho part occupied by tho knee
joint, thus producing an increased resem-
blanco to tho outlines of tho skeleton OF
Roger Williams. as if. indeed. moulded

This sigularly formed root has been care
fully preserved, as constituting a very inn
pressivo exonplifcation of the mode il
which the contents of tho grave have beer

From THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDIcULoUs.
-"Artemus Ward" remarks, that There
is something indescribabIy beautiful in
the true wife's devotion to her husband.
There is something awful in her grlei
when death takes him away. Leaves
have their time TO fall, but death comes
irregularly and relenllessly. We recently
heard most touching instance Of the res
gnalion of an affectionate woman at the
funeral Of her husband Though she had
adorcd him, she did not repiue at this
dark hour. Looking at the remains o
her loved and lost husband for the last
time, she put on her bonnet and thus
spoke to the gentlemen whose sad duty
it was to officiate MS pail bearers :
You pail bearers just go into thu
bu:tery and gat some rum, and we'll star
this man right along"

news, hy Pony Express which arrived last

some more guesses as to intended demonstra-

Governments, against Mexico. Gen. Wool

Mansfield had gone 10 uatteras Inlet, with

Gays that Attorney General Bates is running
about Washington, abusing Fremont, but We
imagine he is attending to his duties, and
conducting himself in gentleuianly manner
The people will not regret to hear that Gen.
Fremont is to be relieved of some financial
duties. The army of the Potomac seems to
be thoroughly organized. Accounts from
Missouri agree that Price was making his
way, with all possible speed, out of the State

THE CuBA CAPTAIN GENERAL-It was
published not long since, that the Captain
General of Cuba had issued his proclnma-
ton announcing that vessels engaged in le-
climate commerce under the Confederate
flag would be permitted to enter and leave
the ports of Cuba, and no questions asked. -
This was assumed by Secession sympath-
sers as a quasi Acknowledge of the in
dependence of the Rebel Confederacy 1t
tnrns out however, that no such proclaim
lion was issued The report was promptly
contradicted hy the Spanish Minister at
Washington The statement nov is, that
secret orders have been issued to the vari-
Gus revenue officers in Cuba TO admit vessels
under the Confederate nlg into the ports Of
the island, though this statement is also de-
MED 10y the Spanish Minister It. is evident
that there is some kind Of an intrigue going
on between the authorities Of the island al d
the Confederate officers - Tnion.
Not evident at all to us. How can the
contents of "Secret orders" lie known to the
public? Besides. if the fact that the false
hoods concerning the proclamation could So
easily le exposed did not prevent It's utter
ance, what hesitation would those who start =
ed it have in making the other statement
Spain i not so very fond of the authors of
the Ostend manifesto, nor yet of the men
who always lent their aid TO fllibustering
schemes against Spanish America. The poor
