CURIOUS RELICS FROM THE Swiss LAKES
At recent meeting of the Connecticut His
torical Society, were exhibited some articles
found in the bottom of one of the Swiss Lakes,
renc. OF an ancient people who dwelt on piles
out in the water. These things were nroci1red
at Zurich by the late Mrs. MARY C. BoorH and
have been presented to Trinity College.
In Jan. 1854, the water of Lake Zurich fell
lower than had ever before been known. the
season having been of unusual dryness, and the
opportunity was made use of by the inhabi-
tants OF Obermellen TO make repairs on its
banks. Under depth of "a foot and half of
mud was layer of blackish mould, in which
were found implements of stone, bone, horn.
bronze, and iron, debris of pottery, &C. /; the re.
mains OF piles were also found in regular rows.
nom one to two feet apart. Close examination
by DR.. KELLER, President of the Swiss ANTI
quarian Society, satisfied him that these piles
had supported platform /; that on this nlat-
form huts had been raised and that after
being thus occupied, probably for centuli IS,
the structure had been destroyed by fire. The
huts, it would seem, were for the most mari.
circular In shape, measuring from 10 to Is feet
in diameter they were of wattles, plastered
with clay, masses of which, hardened by fire,
still bearing the marks received from the wat
ties when wet, have been recovered from the
beds of the lakes
Further investigations have sLown that most
of the lakes OF Europe have been thus inhabit-
ed. Up to 1854, zoo such pile villages have
been found in Switzerland alone, and some of
them of great size, containing no less than 1O0,-
0OO piles linen. age is variously estimated at
from three to seven thousand years, and some
venture to assign still higher antiquity. Who
ever the dwellers on the ptdlhbduten were,
their remains show that they grew wheat and
barley that they ate the flesh ofthe OK, the goat
the sheep and the pig; that among the beasts Of
chase which they hunted down was the now
extinct species Of the aurochs; that they had
horses, dogs and cats; that they had apples,
pears, wild plumbs and wood raspberries; that
they baked pottery; that their women piled
ene distaff and knitted; that they made hemp
en- mats and wove linen cloths.
Among the articles exhibited to the Society
were apples, wheat, barley fax, hazlenuts, the
seeds o. the Wild plum, strawberry, raspberry,
and straw, all carbonized by the action of Ere
to which fact they owe their preservation. and
very curious a wa ter nut put up in hermet-
other similar specimens in the conntrv ~
Hartford Times.

Bowdoin College.

To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS:
A rumor is current which seems only too
well authenticated, that the Principal of a GER
tain popular institution in this State, has be-
come offended with the Faculty of Bowdoin for
not admitting his boys to college without con-
ditions, and that in consequence he has been
making terms with a college out of the State to
receive his pupils with certain preparations,
less than those required by the Bowdoin stan
dard ~ .kr
This is a free country, Mr.. Editor, and a
teacher has perfect right to express his pref
erences, and influence his pupils to go to this,
that, or the other college, provided he has valid
ground for such preferences. If Bowdoin, or
any other college in the State, fails to present
fair inducements to young men, let them go
out of the State to find better. But if a teach
er has been led to the course indicated, by the
consideration named, it only argues an illiberal
spirit, quite unworthy of a man really inter-
ested in the promotion of classicallearning
Let him be sure that such scheme will
"come back to plague the inventor" Let it be
known that the standard for admission to such
a college, will not name it in this ARTICLES
lower than that of Bowdoin and that Mr.. Blank
of the Edsy-goang academy, has a contract to
put his boys in to said college, on partial and
imperfect preparation, and sensible parents
will soon look for other schools for the prepar-
alton of their sons for college.
Now we advise our friend to give his pupils
more thorough fitting, pocket his NIT, and
encourage his boys to become members of our
own colleges, if they can here secure the ad-
vantages required. As to Bowdoin, we are
| aware that she has suffered from certain cir
| cumstances, now happily removed, -and offers
| in her facilities for instruction, her ancient
reputation, and prospective presidential admin
| istration, all the advantages required in the
New England college.
DIR. Harris is man of sound learning, great
| intellectual vigor, fine administrative abilities
and liberal religious sentiments. / use the
word liberal in its liberal sense not in certain
misuse of the term. The public may depend
| upon it there will be no sleeping ON the track
where DR.. Harris drives the engine. 1t is to bt
regretted that Gen. Chamberlain must leave
his post as Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory
and it is even now possible-by your leave, Gen
| erdl- Professor GoUernor, he may tire o
political honors and return to those more con
genial academic pursuits to which, we venture
to predict, his cultivated tastes will by and b.
draw him back. But if otherwise, some gen
tleman of special fitness for that department
will be readily found to occupy the post Ant
let the community interested in these matters
rejoice that the Faculty of Bowdoin are thu
particular in their requirements for admission
and encourage them to elevate the standard
still higher; while any college that underbid'
her in this respect, should be marked and
Stunned as unworthy of fraternal recognition
