Novel DlsCOyeries...BuriedC Cities ut tho
Bottom of the Swiss Lakes.
4 late Paris paper contains The following


The peasants who dwell on the shores of the lake
of Switzerland had often stated that ut short dis
lance from the land, rows of stakes might be seen
through the water, emerging from the mud Of the
bed No interest was, however, attached to tho
phenomenon till about eight years since. At the
end of 1856, the waters of the lake of Zurich sank
considerably, and the thrifty propretors of land on
the bank proceeded at once to add to their estates
the portion of the lake bed left here, by constructs
ing permanent dykes against the return of the
water.
While these works were being carried on, n row
or rather II system, of stakes was discovered at
some little depth below the surface. Excavations
were begun at this spot, and the result was to dis
inter a great variety Of objects, which proved that
II large number OF human beings had once had
their dwellings supported over the water by the
stakes. Curiosity having been once aroused re.
searches prosecuted not only at Obcmeilon,
where the first discovery was made, but all over
Switzerland. IL gradually established that the
mud near the shore Of almost every single Swiss
lake supplied similar evidences At some prmeval
period n population o considerable density had
lived in huts constructed on stakes which rested on
wooden supports, driven into the bed, Just as the
Malays in BorneO and the Samese at Bangkok may
be seen living to this day. A wonderful number Of
articles pertaining to the daily life of the forgotten
races have been brought to light. In some places
the materials OF the dwellings have been preserved
in the mud the floor of hardened earth and twisted
branches and the bark which formed the wals.--
Arms have been discovered in great quantities,
tools from saws in flint to needles in bone, orna-
ments, childrens toys, the remains of storedup
fruits of various kinds-nay, even n cellar or recep-
tacle full OF corn, md loaf of bead composed of
bruised grain, and preserved by carbonzation. BY
the side Of these relics are found the bones of ami
mails, whom they slew in chase, many belonging to
species extinct before the rise of history, barely
mentioned in ii. The urus the bison, the elk and
the beaver furnished them with food and with ma
terials for some Of their most ingenousy construc-
ted utensils. So plentiful and perfect are the re-
mains found in the lakes that much more has been
leaned concerning the daily ,lite AMI manners of
men whose existence was not suspected ten years
ago, than II known Of races which have left fa-
nous maine in history or tradition.

GAINESVILLE.

a letter from Rev. r. S. Hunter the pastor Of
the Church at Clarksve, Tennessee, gave us the
pleasing intelligence, last week, that there was
pleasant prospect of gracious revival of religion
in his congregation. Several had already professed
jusfying faith in Christ and pentents were at the
altar asking, "What must we do TO be saved ?'-
We should have been pleased to visit the noble
old city OF Clarksville, and participate in the de-
lighttu exercises of the pulpit and the altar, but it
was impractcahle. We most earnestly hope that
the Lord will give the congregation great and
gracious outpouring Of the Spirit.
Clarksyile has a history. IL is one of the Oldest
towns in Middle Tcnnessce-settled soon after
Nashville was laid out. 1t has for many years been
place Of commercial importance, and has a COM
munity which will favorably compare with any
of the towns or cities in the Southwest. In
an carly day the community was poisoned by iu-
fidelity. The consequence was, that Christianity
had but few influential friends, and made slow pro-
gress. The writer preached the first sermon in
the frSt house of worship ever erected in the town.
Clarksville nearly forty years old before she
had sanctuary built and dedicated to the worship
of God. True, the ministers Of the Gospel preach-
ed there occupying the Courthouse, or some pri-
vate dwelling or school-room, but there was no
church edi6ce till the Methodist erected q small
brick in the year 1882.
From that day on, and on. the cause of Christ
has gained an influence in Clarksvle, which has
been felt by all portions of the community, and in
the country around lnfdelity blushcd and veiled
IFS face; churches have multiplied, and the crowd
of worshpers has increased to hundreds and thous-
ands of the best citizens of the city and county of
Montgomery honor the name of Jesus, and bow
submissiyey to the King of Zion.
No one man contributed more to this happy
change than the late Rev. Henry F. Beaumont
His intellect, his heart and his purse all con-
secrated TO the interests of religion. He was
man Of sound understanding, pure motives, and
unbounled 'heTlity, having the confidence and
respect of all who knew him. He made no COM
promise with sin, but maintained his integrity,
steadily aboundng in the Lord. His house was
the welcome home of the minister; his family the
unvarying friends Of virue his means at the
command of the church. What talents, position,
wealth, and unostentatious pety could do--all, all
was laid upon the altar of his Savior. No marvel
that the church grew, and that this man of God
lived to see her borders enlarged, and witnessed
the happy conversion Of hundreds and thousands
He was prince in Israel But his race is run, his
work is done, and he has gone to his reward Still
the church which he aided, under God, in building
up, prospers and will 20 on 10 prosper and shall
in future generations be the salt OF the earth the
| light of the world.

In conclusion, wc-beg only TO add that during

measure was introduced by the retiring minority,
and none offered by the majority, was ever called
up by the minority for action. Always in their
places and intent only upon measures Of necessary
legislation for protection Of the financial and COM
mercial interests of the State they deprecated aud
protested against all the action of the majority,
looking. alone, as it did, to measures of prescription
and persecution eliminating in this bill, revolu-
onary in its character and subversive alike Of the
character and peace of the government Finally,
they were compelled, as n last resort. to save the
liberties of the people, imperiled by measures like
these, TO resign their seats and return to the people
the trust committed to their charge.

Softly through the upcprtain'd window,
In that room with ceiling low,
Fell the cearest, purest moonlight,
On a child's coffin, plain and white
Falling with silvery glow.
Right across the breast il fell,
Silver queens last, fond farewell,
"0ut OF the sod" 10 the child reposing
Meath the lid, with the shadow closing,
Over it as none can tell2
Only little cl.ild dead
1t awakens no fear or dread,
To sit there and watch the moon CLEAN ing,
In broad bands of silver-light streaming,
Could it but warm the heart instead
All cold cold, the sweet childs breast
She's entered now the deep rest
To earthly eyes, but up where regns our God
The soul has mounted, leaving the sod,
The body, giving him the best
Little jessie dead so soon,
Lying under the brilliant moon,
Leaving little friends thy death to muse DER,
And the thought, they'll see thee here no more
Thourt walking the shores pearl-strewnl
Moonlight on the co1n-lid,
Dost thou know what is hid
Benealh2 A childs sweet, young, earthly face
Only peace, and a smile on it we trace!
Souls up therel angels amid!

We suppose every term of Court, In eacl
county has what is called its ''big case."-
At the term held week before last at Ma
chias, there was breach Of promise case
which so excited the staid citizens Of tina
county, aud the ladi"s particularly. .tha
not much else was talked of by day, OF
dreamed of by night. Eminent counse
were engaged, snd more than week Of
good time was absorbed in coming to the
conclusion that the man did not promise as
alleged &c.
| About the same time anothe", and quite
a different giant casc was on the docket
and up for trial before his honor, Judge
/ Tapiey, at Belfast to wit. the Bangor
Democrat ease. Most every one under
| stands what this was, and most every one
knows to-day the verdict. But without
going farther into the history of eminent
cases, let US state that the Que which has
created the most interest here, so far, is a
case for divorce. II was heard before
Judge Cutting. adm assigned especially for
Monday morning, but Monday morning
lasted until hall past twelve. and then al
jesrncd until evening, when such formid
able array of witnesses appeared as to
fri.htcn the large crowd in attendance.
The boys, old and Young were on hand,
and the court room was drnsely packed.
We heard but little of the testimony. and
care not to say whose was most tn blame
IN our opinion, nor Il, we care to state such
facts as We did hear given OH the stand.
Neither will we state the allegations set
forth in the libel, because the least said the
soonest mended in all such matters. To
us. there is no satisfaction in listening to
the details of domestic troubles, neither
does such exhibitions tend to strengthen
oar belief in tie present pcrf.ctncss e
human nature, nor OF it's exceeding innate
tendency to deal justly and live pracahly
with all men. One cannot watch the pro-
ceedings of similar cases, as they arc
brought out during the legal examination.
without finding himself hard at work to
find out the primary causes Of all these
woes. The marriage contract with Prot
cStants has not the sacrcdncss assigned II
it by the Catholics. nor has it any partien-
lar binding force with sumo. Ii is thought
lesslv entered into. and lnosc notions abound
in regard to its binding torce. That persons

what we believe in, is. that most of these

self moralizins, and therefore ground arms
