There is in the parish of Helming-
ham, Suffolk, England, an ancient
grave field of human skeletons. The
bodies are several hundreds in number,
lying in a thin layer of flint gravel Oh
the boulder clay of the district, within
two feet of the present surface. They
are placed very closely side by side upon
their backs, with their feet to the east
and heads to the west, and in remark
able state of preservation. They are all
supposed to date before the year 800.

1t having been asserted that Major Ar

eighteen years old, belonged to the Tbir-

The Protestant cemetery at Florence,

all countries. When it shall cease to be
so used, arrangements will have to be
made with the municipality for another
Protestant cemetery.

The following preamble and resolution
was also passed by the meeting:
Whereas, A bill has recently been

D.. restrictions and limitations on the trade

therefore, be and the same is hereby

A collection was taken up to defray

SHOOTING AFFAIR. Yesterday after
noon about four O'clock, colored man
named Jack Young, a discharged SOL
dier, ran against white man on
Market square and knocked him off the
pavement. The white man approached
the colored man, when the cOlored man
drew pistol. At this juncture the
white man drew his, and the colored
man thinking discretion the better part
of valor," turned and ran around Toys
corner, down Main street towards Roa-
hoke square, the white man after him.
As the colored man neared the corner of
Roanoke square, the white man fired at
him, irrespective of passers by. No
arrests were made This cunning for
each other in the streets is quite un-
comfortable and should not be tolerated.
In this instance, our worthy neighbor,
Moses Myers, had quite narrow escape.
He was sitting at his door, enjoying the
cool breeze of the afternoon, when the
ball passed uncomtortably near his
Uranium, which quite demoralized Moses
who. at the time, was surrounded with
the fruits of his toll and labor,-apples
and children indiscriminately. When he
recovered his equanimity, he immedi-
ately sought consolation from his friend
and countryman, Barry, at the Wash
ington Hail. Barney prescribed lager.
"Vel Barney give me lager lie made a
narrer 'scape." Moses was supplied and
went home rejoicing at his narrow es-
cape at not being accidentally shot, even
If people do enjoy themselves shooting
down wide street. Lucky Moses.
