Bones Of animals now extinct, or nearly %.

Of much attention to hunting, and Of contin-
ual war-the number and variety Of weapons
being very great. Some indications Of .

antiquarian Is, that this ancient race was
overcome and destroyed by stronger. against
which they had sought to protcc: themselves
by building upon piles, and that the lakes
have gradually risen, and covered tho re-
mains Of their villages. Indeed, they insist
that there have been two great revolutions In
Switzerland, and that the evidences exist In
these remains, the last invaders having wcap-
ons Of iron. These appear, from their in
struments, to have been Celtic race from
Gaul, and to have been Of larger propor-
tions than the aboriginal inhabitants. Tho

Antiquities in Switzerland.

Archaeological discoveries Of great import
ance have recently been made in the Swiss
lakes. The peasants on the borders OF these
lakes have olteu stated that when tho water
was clear, rows Of stakes could DO seen at q
short distance from the shores. In 1850,
Lake Zurich sank considerably. and thrifty
proprietors on the border, proceeded to dyke
the land thus lett clear. and discovered arys-
TEN of stakes or posts a little below tho sur
face. Excavations revealed the fact thar
these stakes formed. in ancient tines the
foundations Of houses, similar to those ot the
Siamese at Bangkok, and OF the Maiays IN
Borneo. Researches were then made else
where, and similar state Of things found to
have existed ON the banks of almost every
lake in Switzerland. In some places, the
materials Of the old dwellings, consisting Of
hardened earth and twisted branches and
bark, have been found in the mud. Arms,
and utensils. Of flint and bone, in great vari.
ETY., have also been discovered, and In one
case, cellar full Of corn, and a LOAF fbrcad

A Liquor Suit.

A very good story is told at the expense OF
Col. j. @. Colnstock, who for many years
was widely known as the "Princc Of Land.
lords" and proprietor Of the Olcan House,
Olcau, New York. Many years ago Com
stock was "lesally served" for violating the
license law. The trial was had at Portyillc,
and the justice, after hearing the proofs, en-
tered up Judgment against the host OF the
Olean House. OF course John was hopping
mad. "Hc would carry It up and blow the
judgment to pieces"
Hon. Benz. Chamberlain was then first
Judge of the County-and shortly after the
events above narrated, the Judge put up for
the night with Col. Comstock. After supper
John unburdened himself to Judge Cham
berlain, relating very minutely the circum-
stances attending his conviction at Potville,
&c. The Judge blandly but strongly urged
John to carry the suit up to the Common
Pleas-"there you are pretty sure to have
Justice done yc." Having satisfied himself
that Judge Chamberlain would do him JUS
tice, Col. Comstock directed his attorney to
appeal the cause to the Common Pleas of the
county. In due time the cause was called,
Judge Chamberlain, Presiding, who, uron
hearing the proofs. allegations, arguments,
&c.. promptly affirmed the judgment of the
Justices Court, to the utter conlounding OF
Col. Comstock's attorney, who had antici.
patcd an easy victory for his client.
Not long after this Judge Chamberlain
called again at the Olcan House, and Col.
Comstock was of course glad to see him. In
the evening. "mine host" three or four times
sought to bring up his liquor case, but The
Judge evaded it, until Comstock boltedright
on to it thus:
"Judge you remember my liquor suit?'
"Oh, yes, John," replied the Judge, every
WELL"
"You advised me to carry it up to your
Court, didn't you Judgc?"
"Yes, l did. john" said the Judge, "for
I wanted you to be dealt fairly by"
"Thc deuce you did ! But you beat me-
didn't you ?" inquired Comstock, in his Pc
culiarly searching manner.
"Yes, john" said the Judg, looking Com.
stock very seriously in the face, "the fact is
John, your liquor for the past year has been
SO confoundcdly poor that ] hadn't the cour'
age to reverse the Judgment"
John was satisfied, and has never carried
up any more liquor suits.

ANECDOTES or Mr.. LIScoLS.-A few
months ago Gen. Fremont stood very small
chance Of being assigned to command, but
fortunately for him, the President one morn
Ing read in Washington paper, the. speech
Of Col. Blair, NJ. c., upon tho lato
commander in Missouri. The President,
having attentively perused 1t, said to somo
one near him, "Ob, this will never do, it's
persecution" lie put the paper in his pock-
ct, walked over to the War Department. and
in less than half an hour, Major General
Fremont was appointed to tho command Of
the War Department.
AS our readers will remember, the Post.
master General in one Of his letters, alluded
very harshly to the President, and made him
appear In q ridiculous light. When Gen.
Fremont made this letter public, Mr.. Blair
wrote his resignation and sent II 10 Mr.. Lin
coin. "Wbat is all thisabout? What is the
matter?" inquired the President, Mr.. Blair
replied that under the circumstances he could
do no les than resign. "What circumstan-
ccs?" the President demanded Tho POST
master handed him the exposed lettcr, which
he read, and then exclaimed :-"Stutr! non.
sense Has not one man got perfect right
to express his private opinion Of another
man7 Certainly 50. Tear your resignation
up. Twill not take it. Go back to your
department and attend to business"

l. The barn-yard should be as small an

any place out Of doors we'll can be-neither
oyeraowed from higher ground. nor receiving
rains and snow IRON the surrounding barns
and out houses. IL should be sheltered irOm
tho wind and open to the sun, that il may
DO place Of comfort to its occupants. Ii
should contain u convenient supply OF pure
water for the stock, to save labor aud expos
ure, and the waste Of manure always occur
ing when the stock must seek water outside
the barn.yard. If small, dry and sheltered
it will he easily kept Uttered. and thus bet.
ter 6t it for wintering stock and making and
saving manure.
l. The greatest source Of loss of manure
are FROM washing and oyer.fermentitiOn or
burning. In winter, yard manure suffers
but slightly from the latter cause, and from
the FIRST there is little loss in well arranged
ward. But some fermentation is required to

Until mine eyes, familiar grown,

Ana turn guerillas into stone.
And then amid the lonely gloon.
Beneath the weird old tulip trees,
My silent marches resume,
And think on other times than these.
Sweet visions through the silent night!
The deep bay window, fringed with vines
The room within, In softened light,
The tender, mllk.whlte hand In mine,
The timld pressure, and the pause

That time when by mysterious laws
We each felt all In all to each.

When clad In soldiers honest gray,
