Relies of the Past.

Some curious discoveries have rccen- tly been made at Silchcster, near Bas- ingstoke, the site of the ancient British and Roman capital ofScuthern Britain, The main street and street running from it have been laid open, together with two large Roman houses with tcs- sclated paveInents. The walls which
 Surround the capital were three miles i'll length. The site ofthc amphitlicatrc has been found, and an admission-pass like the opera-housc passes of the pre- sent day dug out. Coins connected with periods anterior to the birth of our Savior have also been found. A brick has also turned up, on which some Roman lover had cut words rela- ting 10 ''my lass" or ''my girl" Roman toothpicks. ear-picks, and scissors'havc been found, and the site ofa strong box made of oak an inek thick. Some re- mains ofthe box, it's hinges and lock, were picked up. The position of a temple is known, and will one day be explored. Silchcster is the property of the Duke of Wellington. diThe blow has been passing for centuries over the spot where five hundred years perhaps. before the Roman invasion of Britain, the London ofa Kingdom, which inclu- .dcd Sussex, Hamps hire, Dorsetshire and Berks, once stood.--[ Manchester Guardian, . sst oss@is,

The War on Preachers.

Satan and other Radicals just now

 Not content with putting them in <pris- on, fining and indicting them for cxpounding the Word of God, the devils seem to have taken Ca long pull, a strotig pull, and pull aitogethcrn with aview. of getting rid of that class of criminals entirely, Tie shocking murder of Rev. MT. ueadlee has been followed, if ap- pears, by other violent acts. In Grun- dy County gang of Radical imps,sa couple of Sundays ago. drove the Rev. Joseph Deylin from his pulpit, bursted percussion caps at him. and hootcd him out of church. because he had not taken the oath, ,-aAd for the same reason, a few days since, the Rev. Mr. Price, while on his way from DeKalb to Clinton County, was followed by d number of outlaws, who broke into a house where he was staying over night, and so beaten with clubs and pistols that the unoffen- dingiministcr had to be conveyed to his his home. where, dispatch says, ihe now lies in aeritical condition. b 9d Gov9 Elcfcbcr,,o of course. never hears of these things. olIc is the most ignor- ant man in Missouri, it W oltld SseeIn, in regard to the true condition ofailairs in many partssof the State and, while the best mon in it arc being shot down like dogs. dragged from the sacred desk, or blndgeoned on the highway by Radical scoundrels. .hc pratcs about the"enforce- ment of the laws'' against men who have no thoitlof violating them.
