The Pre-Adamite Inhabitants of swItzer-
land.

The researches undertaken on the Lake
ofC onstance had proven that its banks,
were formerly peopled by inhabitantswho
lived successfully in the ages of stone
bronze and iron. The places hitherto ex-
amined were Nosdorf and Maurach, but
two new stations have since been discover
ednear Ueberlingen-viz: Unteruhldin-
gen and Shipplengen. At the former up
wards of ten thousand, and at the latter
thirty thousand piles, formerly support
ing lacustral dwellings, have been dis
covered under water. At the former place
about one hundred objects representing
the age of stone, such as knives, chisels
and hatchets, have been brought to light;
they chiefly consist of serpentine, diorite
or celogite. A hammer, made OF serpen-
tine and very nicely ornamental, is par
ticularly admired. The flint arrows, saws
and lance heads are abundant. there are
also stones for grinding corn, implements
for crushing grain, &c.
Among the bronze articles, hatchets
with round or oblong holes for the han
dies have been found, and a certain pro-
gress is observable in the way OF taste, the
shapes being more elegant. The other an
ticles, eighty-nine In number, comprising
pins, needles for both sewing and knit
ting, hair pins, bracelets, fishing hooks,
knives, &c, all bronze. Very few iron
specimens have been found, including,
however, an ornamentett Ratchet. Be
sides these quantity of articles made of
bone, horn and ivory, chiefly derived
from the Dos primigenius the giant stag,
and the atrsus spel0eUs have been got out
of the mud The SEpplinger station
has also yielded many articles OF the
three periods, such as. hatchets made
nephrite, and another in which the hole
for the handle is begun on both sides but
not finished Here also very remarkable
specimens of bone, glass and clay have
been found, the latter constituting the
lowest stage of the ceramic art. A vast
number of unwrought bones of animals
have been got up, but only one human
bone, parietal one, is among them. At
Nosdorf and Maurach researches are
still in progress, with great success.

Yankee Notion.

Groups of persons have been seen for
several days past standing just inside
the main entrance to the Patent Office,
curiosly looking upon some very singu-
lar specimens of heating and cooking
machinery, and wondering and asking
questions in view of the feats of cooking
which are performed there. Somebody
up in Yankeeland, whose name is c. f.
Morrill,, of Chelsea, Massachusetts, has
invented what he calls AN Aerovapor
Stove, which, with neither lamp nor
wick, coal, wood, nor gas, heats itself;
boils, bakes, does all sorts of cooking
and heating; stands on castors; is easily
trundled about the house, aud is alto
gether one of the most interesting YAM
kee notions that we have seen in the
stove line for a long time. The fuel
employed is bydro-carbon vapor, pro-
duced from the.cheapest grade of petro-
leum Gil The apparatus makes no
smoke, SCOT, or ashes. It's construction
is simple and can not be costly. and it
strikes us is destined to be useful as
well as curious notion. The inventor
claims, with its other excelleucies, that
it costs not above half as much for fuel
as for the best wood or coal stoves,
which, in these times of enormous prices,
is solid consideration. Experience
will determine its merits. National In

The Maiden aud the Hero.

On the night of the battle of Bran
DIVINE, was sent with message from
General Greene to Count Pulaski noble
POiander, who took prominent part in
our struggle. He was quartered in a
neat farm house near the upper fords
After our business was finished, the
Count asked me to take some refesh
ments, aud at the same time called out:
''Mary, my lass, Nary
In an instant rosy checked lass en-
tered, her face beaming with Joy, it would
seem, at the very sound OF Pulaski
voice.
did you call me, Count?" said the
maiden, timidly.
How often have I told you, little
love, he said, bending his tall form to
kiss her cheek, mot to call me Count;
call me dear Pulaski. This is Repub-
lie, my little favorite; we have no Counts,
You know"
s'But you are Count, sir, when at
home, and they say you came a long
way over the ocean Just to fight for us. "
Yes, Mary, very true-I did come q
long way-the reason was / had to come.
Now, can you get this gentleman and
myself some refeshm snts? He has yet a
long road to pass over tonight
Certainly, sir, and she went out of
the room like a fairy.
Fine, pleasant girl, said Pulaski
would that had the wealth once hadl
l would give her portion that would
send half the youths hereabouts after
her sweet face"
On the morning of the 18th of Sep
TENDER, 1777, the British army advanced
to Chadd's Ford, for the purpose of
crossing Brandywine Creek, and bring
ing on an action with Washington. Sir
William Howe drove Maxwell's division
across the creek by one OF the lower
fords s-sFe s.
The Hessian General Knyphausen,
with large force, advanced upon the
creek, and uniting with CORVALLIS, who
commanded the left wing OF the army,
crossed at the upper ford of the river
aud creek. 1t so happened that during
the conflict, when carrying orders, L

PulasEi's quarters, that had visited the
night before. Suddenly a sheet of flame
burst forth; the house was on fire. Near

head cut open by sabre, and her brains

Peter the Great.

The famous Menzikoff had shed his
blood in battle and exposed his life to
defend the life of his master, Peter the
Great. But joined TO his many bril-
liant qualities were great vices; his Gu
pidity and ambition were without
bounds; he used for his own advantage
large sums designed for the public ben
eft. Having left st. Petersburg in
the suit of the Emperor, who was hast
enipg to Astrachan with the design of
surprising and taking possession of
that city, he learned on the way that
he had been denounced and that the
Emperor was fui ly informed of his rob-
berries and extortions.
9 The gloomy countenance and silence
of the prince, whose infexible severity
he knew, announced to him bis disgrace;
he believed himself already precipitated
from the height of honor to Opprobium
and misery; the deserts of Siberia, the
solitude of long exile, theheads-man's
axe, came by turns before his imagina-
ton; his blood took fire and a malig-
nant fever attacked him; for three weeks
he lay in wretched chamber in state
of frightful delirium. Finally he awoke
and look ed anxiously around the cabin;
he seemed abandoned; only one man
was near him; only one cared fol him;
one voice only addressed to him words
of comfort. 1t was that of the Emper-
or. 1t was Peter the Great. sgna
This unlooked-for sight restored to
him life and strength; burning tears roll
led down his face; he fell at the feet of
the monarch.
"Great Godp' he cried, my sirel is
it your" ~
Eyes," replied tho emperor, raising
him up, ''for three weeks I have not
left your bed"
