4 LIVE FROG IN A BLOCK OF MARBLE.
The Louisville Courier is responsible
for the statement that on the 18th ult.,
as the masons were preparing stones for
the doorsils of q new banking house at
Springfield, KY, they came upon liv-
ing frog in the middle Of large stone,
walled about with solid stone on all
sides. The stone came from a quarry
near Springfield, about ten feet below
the surface. There were two strata of
stone above the layer from which this
piece was taken. As it lay upon the
bench, the workmen, iu dressing the
edges, broke through into small aper-
ture, in which they discovered the frog.
He began to give signs of life as soon
as the breaking of the rock let in the
air. in short time he seemed spright-
ly and wide awake, but soon began to
show signs Of excitement and pain. He
was then placed in a small g,ass jar,
which was loosely corked In this
place he lived until Sunday night, June
II. Being found thus encased in block
of marble, it is evident that the frog
was an old settler if not a pre-Adamite.

HBDDEN TREASURE BROUGHT TO LIGET
"A short time before our civil war
threw its lurid light over the land, an
unmarried man moved from Mississippi
to this county and settled on place few
miles from Dyersburg, and commenced
the quiet but prosperous life Of farmer.
When call was made for troops he
abandoned his occupation, and enlisted
as soldier in the Confederate army,
and was killed in one of the battles in
Mississippi. Being almost an entire
stranger IN the county, nothing was
known Of his family or affairs At the
close Of the war his place was cultivated
by Mr.. Wilson. 4 short time siuce.

merrily, aud 10 q short time a stream Of

We learn that the gold, all of which was
not melted, weighed twenty pounds, and

Resolutions endorsing Hon. j. S. Nor

and the candidates for the State Senate
were called upon to "defne their posi-
ton" before being nominated by the
Convention. Gen. Barstow and Mr.
Lane announced themselves for Mr.. Nor
rill. Mr.. Taft spoke briefly (says the
Tines expressing his appreciation OF
the confidence the county had in him,
as manifested in four successive nomina-
tions Cor important county Offices, es-
pecially as they had been generally unan-
imous; ahat he had endeav0red as far as
possible to represent the sentiment of his
county correctly on all questions, and
was well BdblSuSu budb LEo CUhNe0bIOu
thought SO. That what the feelings of
the Conversion were at this time IN reIa-
ton to Mr.. Morrill, was well expressed
in the resolutions. Yet he felt like a
gentleman in Gn adjoining county that
certain circumstances Specifying them)
might arise under which he might deem
it advisable to vote against Mr., Merrill
ard in that event he should certainly do
SO, and that in doing so he felt that he
would be giving expression to the voice
of tie county.
The balance of the Chittenden County
ticket is as follows:
Assistant Judges-Wm. Y. Reynolds
of Colchester and Stafford Colby of Rich

u Gratz Brown Of Missouri, whose
term in the United States Senate expires
next March, has written long letter
declining to be again candidate, in
consequence OF i'll health He congrat-
ulates his state on the abolition of sla-
very, but says that the constitution of
Missouri is still defaced by discrimina-
tiOns which are unworthy Of free peo-
pie, and should be at once removed. He
enlarges upon the propositions advanced
by him in the Senate the other day, that
universal suffrage is the only means of
making the rebellion an oblivion and
amnesty safe. He regrets that the Mis-
souri, Unionists have not made universal
suffrage an issue in the political contest
now going on there, is sure that the
principle will triumph in the end, and
pledges 10 give it his Jealous support as
long as he has life and influence.

The New Party Convention.

Several attempts have been made to
inaugurate a new party movement
but originating with few sore politici-
ans and meeting with no sympathy
among the people, they have inconti-
nently fzzled. The latest effort in this
direction is doomed to similar end.
There is no division in the Union party.
All have united heartilyupon the policy Of
reconstruction embodied in the proposed
amendments to the Constitution adopted
by Congress. Theparty was never more
firmly and determinedly unit than now
There is hardly a Union paper in the
country that does not condemn the re-
cent call for new party convention.
The "new party" will be without organs
and without representatives among the
people The movement is started by a
ew Congressman who have already been
, ondemned, and will be rejected when
Il le opportunity occurs, by their own
~ nstituents. Says the Utica Herald -
Connecticut, last Spring condemned
nj. yOn; Wisconsin has with emphasis and
for, ce, set it's seal of disapprobation on
No, )little; Cowan has no constituency
in ! Pennsylvania, except among the cop
,,orb eads Norton is rejected ana con-
como lemned by every representative of
Unio u sentiment in Minnesota. They
stand aloof from the people, and have
done their utmost hitherto to array the
pres,f lent against Congress and all loyal
consti buencles.
Tn G hort, it is dead duck" move
mant The Union party has glorious
record. it has conquered treason and
made fr, sedom the universal law of the
land .. II people glory in its achieve
ments. nd to it they look for such
measures as shall secure peace, prosper
itv and u, liversal liberty to the country
in the fut ire. A few broken down and
discarded politicians might as well I'M
aertake toll breast tornado as to break up
this party VI the people.
And the Democratic papers see this.
They thereft we oppose this third party
movement. b ecause they fear that it will
divide Their srty, not the Republican.
The New Y ork World says:
ITO the ca. rEier formation of third
party we shou Id have had no objections
esnecialIy as its materials would be
drawn from tn Republicans. But we
=, ,em 1t our dut Y to say now, what time

NATIONAL BANK.-The Bank Of Rut-
land commenced business yesterday I'M
der the national banking law, as the
National Bank of Rutland"
To correct any erroneous impressions
that may still exist on the subject it
may be well to state in this connection,
that the bills of the old Bank of Rut-
land and of ell other State banks are
just as good for general circulation now
as they have been. If paid into the
bank which issued them, they cannot be
paid out again, that is all.
The Commercial Bulletin says:
"In May, the associated banks of Bos-
ton, voted to stop taking bills of State
banks, either on deposit or for collection
on the first day of July. In very
short time it became evident that they
had made a mistake in taking this &C
ton. State banks, with handsome bal
ances in the hands Of those Boston
banks, which were both their cores
pondents and redeeming agents, very
naturally claimed that their Boston
agents could. with just as much show of
reason, refuse to honor their checks as
their circulating notes, and they protest.
ed earnestly against the action referred
to. We alluded last week to the neces-
sity for au early modification Of the May
vote, and are now glad to be able to say
that it has been so completely modified
as to leave the whole matter as it origi-
nally stood.
All the banks of Boston will continue,
after the 1st of July, to receive Of their
depositOrs, as heretofore, the old State
currency-reoeiving the same as they
have always received it,-,tor redemption. -

DRESS IN ENGLAND.

There has never been Il time during
the present reign in England, when SO
much money has been spent rs at the
present period upon dresses. Our fair
ones arcrunninga race in extravaganza.
In many families the cost per person
for dress averages one thousand pounds
ycar-thiS, Of course, exclusive of
icWelry. For a single dress, prices va
rying from forty pounds to one hun
drcd and fifty pounds are frequently
paid. 1t is in the rarenesS of material
and its amount that the excess usually
consists, not in the skill or art Of the
design. During this week | have been
present at the opening Of what is tcrm-
cd an international horticultural EX-
hibition, in the fashionable part of Lon
don-;ln occasion on which the tickets

Lace was there in shaWls and cloalis,
which used 10 be worn only in very
small quantities by our graudmothcrs.

Mile Rachel used to wear in her

to Us which prevents the exercise of
muscles and limbs! The Countcsscs
