Relies FROM the SWISS EA;akeS'
The Hartford Times says:-At the
meeting of the Connecticut Historical
Society, last evening, were exhibited
some articles found in the bottom OF
one of the Swiss lakes, relics OF an an
cient people who dwelt on piles out in
the water. These things were procur-
ed at Zurich by the late Mrs. Mary 9.
Booth, aud have recently been present
ed to Trinity College.
In January, 1854, the water of Lake
Zurich fell lower than ever before been
known, the season having been Of unu-
sual dryness, and the opportunity was
made use of by the inhabitants Of Ober-
meilen to make repairs on its banks,
Under a 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 remains Of piles were
also found in regular rows, from one to
two feet apart. Close examination by
Dr.. Keller, President of the Swiss
Antiquarian Society, satisfied him that
these piles had supported a platform ;
that on this platform huts had been
raised; and that after being thus occu-
pied, probably for centuries, the struo-
ture had been destroyed by FIRE The
huts, it would seem, were for the most
part 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 wattles
when wet, have been recovered from
the beds of the lakes.
Further investigation have shown
that most of the lakes Of Europe have
been thus inhabited. Up to 1864, 200
such pile villages have been found in
Switzerland alone, and some Of them
of great size, containing not less than
100000 piles. Their age is variously
estimated at from three to seven thou
sand years, and some venture to assign
even still higher antiquity. Whoever
the dwellers on the Piddlbdutea were,
their remains show that they grew
wheat and barley; and they ate the
flesh of the OK, the goat, the sheep and
the pigs that among the beasts Of the
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, wildplums
aud wood raspbcrries that they baked
pottery; that their women piled the
distaff and knitted; that they made
hempen mats and wove linen cloths.
Among the articles exhibited to the
Society, were apples, wheat, barley,
fax, hazlenuts, the seeds Of the wild
plum, strawberry, raspberry, elderberry
and straw, all carbonized by the action
of FIRE, to which fact they owe their
preservation; and very curious "water
nut" put up in hermetcalIy sealed
glass tube. We have heard Of no other
similar specimens in the country. -Ne,O

RAILROAD PoTAToEs.-Jacob Wright,
of Clay Township, brought us speci-
men of his Potatoes, that are certainly
the finest we have yet seen. Two OF
them ssPeach Blow" variety-measure
IA inches, each. in circumference and 4
inches in diameter, and together weigh
i've pounds. Another variety, of bright
pink color, which he calls the RAILROAD
Potato measure about Ii inches in cir
conference and ] inches in diameter.
They are fat, like the ssKidney," and
very solid-two of them weighed 81
pounds. He gave them this name, from
the fact that his son found three on the
Railroad, last year, he then planted them
and they produced about 4 peck, which
he planted last spring, and they yielded
him a little over seven bushels. He planted
them in hills, and he informs us that, in
one hill, he counted forty good sized
Potatoes. Such csculants are all Wright,
and are profitable to propagate.

What Might be Done.

On last Sunday night week, three
young men were taken to the calaboose
for being in state of intoxication, and
there remained until next morning, when
they were brought before the Mayor and
fined. The father of one of the young
men living in the western part of the
county was telegraphed to, who came
paid the fine and costs asses sed against
his son and released him. It was ascer-
tanned that the liquor was bought on
Sunday from Patrick McGlenn, and a
relative of one of the young men, went
to his liquor saloon and told him if he
did not go to the Mayors office and pay
the fine and costs, he would not only
have him prosecuted for selling to
minors but for selling on the Sabbath
and without license. This, McGlenn
refused to do. Complaints were accord.
ingly filed against him by this individ-
ual-the facts as indicated we're proved,
and Mayor Young fined McGlenn to the
full extent OF the law--costs and oil
amounting to the neat little sum Of one
hundred and one dollars.
We publish this instance, to show
what might be accomplished under our
present law, if temperance men, who
are clamoring for prohibition, will only
have nerve enough to file complaints
against those who are engaged in the
traffic, when facts come to their knowl-
edge sufficient for them to institute pro
ceedings. Here was case where liquor
was sold without license-sold on the
Sabbath, and to minors, each count was
sufficient to warrant the filing Of COM
plant and, if the intention of calling in
the laws aid is to break up the traffic, we
know Of no better enactment to do this,
than the rigid enforcement of the one
now on our statute books, against every
violation of its provisions. In the sur
ity of punishment melted to violators
of law, and not in it's scrverity, consists
its efficacy. AS sensible temperance
men-as good citizens, we should use
every honorable method to induce the
liquor seller to quite his ruinous bust
ness, and the most efIicacious mode is to
make him see and feel that it is pecuni-
arily Improbable. Take away the prof
it's, arising from it, and few there would
be to engage in it. The temptation to
grow rich speedily. naturally leads them
to violations Of the law--they see moth
ing but the money, and grdually come
to caring for no restraining power, so
they can "put money in their purse !"
hence the only tender part about them
is the pocket, and we venture the opin-
ion, that there is not a liquor-seller in
the State Of Indiana, who does not vio-
late some one Of the provisions of the
present liquor law, every day of his life,
so that the place where his feelings are
deposited can be reached It will not
take many probings like Mayor YOU'VE
gave to Pat McGlenn, to convince every
mothers son in the business of drunk
ard manufacturing, that it is extremely
and they'll quit it.
