E A boy at Hamilton, c. W,
was recently attacked with severe
inflammation in one of his legs, below
the knee joint. He was unsuceess-
fully treated for rheumatism, and
made a change of doctors. His Sec
ond medical attendant poultieed the
leg, which suppurated, and number
of small bones made their appear
ance. These bones are perfectly
formed and complete, and belonged
to creature of some unknown spe-
cies, about the size of full grewn
red squirrel. The ribs are fully two
inches in length, and bones of the leg
about the same. Among the remains
are two curved prongs, or feelers,
terminating in sharp point, which
were evidently attached to the head
of this strange animal. The remains
will doubtless be secured complete,
but as yet those versed in natural
history have been unable to form any
opinion as to the species of the crea-
ture, or to surmise how it had been
introduced and lived in the muscles
Of the patients leg.

EMPLOYMENT in Kansas.

There seems to be good opening
for the unemployed in Western Mis-
souri, and Kansas. The Kansas City
(Mo. } Journal of Commerce says:
Kansas will need by the 1st OF
April 5000 men, laborers and me-
chanics. During the past year we
have erected over 600 buildings,
for which we have had to pay large
prices, because of the high price of
labor. Bricklayers six and seven
dollars per day, and other trades in
proportion. This city will next sea-
son build three times as much as it
did last; we are building a railroad
bridge across the Missouri, which
will cost over half million of dol
lars; we shall also build the largest
depot in the West. The Fort Scott
Railroad will need both laborers and
mechanics. Unless at least 5000
more laborers and mechanics come
here by spring, the work will have to
be delayed, and private enterprise
must suffer. We have at this time
over one hundred houses which had
to be stopped last fall for want of
mechanics. Buildings would have
been started last fall, but on account
Of the lack of mechanics were not
begun.

National Bank system.

The following letter presents the
case so fairly in relation to the Ma
tienal Bank system, that we have
concluded to give it publicity:
NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 81, 1867.
Commercial Editor N. Y. Inde-
pendent"
SIR noticed in this weeks Inde
pendent you favor Randall's bill to
destroy national banks; and suppos-
ing from the remarks you make on
the subject that you do not fully ap-
preciate our position, 1 send you a
statement of our transactions with
the Government.
We obtained bank charter from
the Government in 1863, when it want
ed money! We have loaned to the
Government S355,0O0, for which we
hold their bonds. S2SO,000 is pledg-
ed as collateral security for our cir
calation, and $4,000 is pledged as
collateral security for any moneys
the Government shall see fit to de-
posit with US. And We pay to the
Government about three per cent
taxes on our capital, which would
amount to about 81, 800 annually
Besides, we pay the coupons on the
Seven-thirty Bonds without charge
for labor. And the Government has
made an agreement with US, and Civ
en- us a charter fer twenty years,
agreeing to pay us six per cent. in.
terest in Gold on S275, 900, and five
per cent in Gold on $4,000, and
guarantees the payment of cur cireu-
lation. New, when the Government
is growing strong. a party in Con-
gress turn round and attempt to
break their promises and violate
their agreement, in taking from US
the charter sacred for twenty years.
Take from US this charter, take
from us cur circulation, and the
banks must go into liquidation, or
probably three quarters of them will.
A few in cities that have large de-
posites may live, but country banks
cannot live without q circulation
And destroy the national banks and
the Government would loose about
S9,0O0,O0O taxes which they now pay
annually. But leave consequences
out Of the question: is it rights it
right because you are strong and |
am weak--that you should violate
your agreement with me and trample
me in the dust. l leave the matter
with you for your decision.
You destroy national banks, you
cut off taxes paid to the Govern
ment S9,OO0,O0O, and directly and in
much larger sum, as the
business community are depending
very mnch on national banks to work
with. And of course, il you destroy
the business of our country, the rev
enue will also be destroyed l be-
lieve myself that we never have had
a banking system any thing like or at
all equal to the national banking sys-
tenn we are now using-nothing 10
compare with it, and you destroy it,
and | don't believe we shall ever
have its equal again. Besides, the
people will have no confidence in the
pledges of their Government.
Iam yours. respectfully,

President Fifth National Bank,

Mr.. Lord lifted one corner of the
curtain and peeped in, but quickly

from Sally advising him to mind his
own business.
Lemuel was dressed in blue with
bright buttons. The entire suit had
been made for his grandfather on a
similar occasion. His hair was well
creased with tallow, and his huge
feet encased in skin pumps.
Very soon the company began to
gather and the room was well filled.
"Now, elder" cried the brides
groom, "drive ahead! Twant it

But Sally refused to be trotted.-
She would be married where she was,
or not at all. We argued and coax
ed, but she was firm; and it was con-
cluded to let her have her own way
Mr.. Morrison stood up; the happy
couple Joined hands through a rent
in the coverlet, and the ceremony
proceeded. Just as Mr.. Morrison
was asking Leumel!-
Will you have this woman" ETC.,
down came the coverlet, enveleping
both minister and bridegroom, and
filling the house with dust. Dick
had been up in the loft and cut the
strings which held it. Mr.. Morrison
crawled out looking decidedly sheep
Ish, and Sally was obliged to be
married openly. To the moment
Gus question Lemuel responded:
"To be sure; what else did /
come for ?" and Sally replied,
"Ya-as, if you know"
"Salute your BRIDE" said Mr..
Morrison, when all was over.
"I'm ready to do anything, elder"
said Lemuel, "but skin me if l know
about that, sir. Just show me how
and I'll do it if it kills me.'
My husband drew back nerveusly,
but Sally advanced, threw her arms
around his neck, and gave him
kiss that made the very windows
clatter.
81 yum, if I don't do ditto p cried
Lemuel; and hastily taking huge
bite from piece Of maple sugar
which he drew from his pocket, he
made dash at me-smashed my
collar, broke my watch. guard into
dozen pieces, tore nay hair dewn, and
succeeded in planting a kiss on my
nose, greatly to the delight OF the
company.
Then he turned to my husband,
"Now, elder, what is the damage?
don't be afraid to speak"
Whatever you please" said Mr..
Morrison.
Lemuel produced piece of fur,
There, elder" said he, "There's
q muskrats skin; and out in the
shed is two heads of cabbage, and
you're welcome to the whole of it..
My husband bowed his thanks, the
young people went to dancing, Mrs.
Burke went to getting breakfast. At
my earnest request Mr.. Morrison got
our horse and we bade them adieu.

4 Western Wonder,

The greatest wonder in the State
of Iowa, and perhaps any other
State, is what they call the "Walled
Lake, in Weight county, twelve miles
north Of the Dubuque and Pacific
railway, and about one hundred and
fifty west of Dubuque city. The lake
is from tive to three feet higher than
the earth's surface. In most places
the wall is ten feet high; width at
bottom fifteen feet, and at the top
five. Another fact is the size Of the
stones used in construction: the whole
is of stone varying in weight from
three tuns down to one hundred
pounde There is an abundance of
stones in Weight county; but sur
rounding the lake to the extent of
five or ten miles there are none.
No one can form an idea as to the
means employed to bring them to
the spot, or who constructed it.
Around the entire lake is q belt of
woodland, half a mile in width, CON-
posed of oak; with this exception the
country is a rolling prarie. The
trees, therefore, must have been
placed there at the time of building
the wall. In the spring ef1S56 there
was great storm, and the ice on the
lake broke the wall in several places
and the farmers in the vicinity were
obliged to repair the damages to pre-
vent inundatien. The lake occupies
a ground surface of $500 acres;
depth of water as great as % feet
The water is clear and cold; soil
sandy and loamy. tits singular that
no one has been able to ascertain
where the water comes from, and
where it goes, yet it always remains
clear and fresh.
