SOMETHING New IN AnT.-A very
curious and interesting illustration Of the
possibilities Of The printing room, in art
products, has beer presented by Wm.
g. HutchingS & Co., to the Hartford
Printers Union, in the shape of two
handsomely framed pictures, one por.
trait Of Gutenberg, the father Of ! riu!.
ing, and the other flower scene, where
II heap of roses and lilies lean over a
sheet Of clear water, in which their sIa
dows are reflected, and among them a
little bird is iluItcring. The remarkable
thing about these pictures is the face
that they are bott entirely composed, as
are the elaborate borders OF nothing bu,
punctuation points, and those points all
periods-do's-of varying shades and
sizes, all "set up" by hand, separately,
piece by piece, like the typps which
compose this paragraph, ard then Print

BRApDocK's BoNEs.--Among tho
many things which time has brought
to light is the answer to tho oft-rc-
pcatcd query, "Who killed Brad
dock T. During that memorable re-
treat of the British and Provincial
troops, Braddock ordered that his
men should not protect themselves be-
hind trees. One Joseph Faucet pre-
sumcd to disobcy that order, when
Braddock, in passion, struck him
down with a sword. Tom. Faucet,
who was but short distance from his
brother, saw the whole transaction,
and Immediately shot the General
through the lungs. The Hon. A..
Stewart, of Uniontown, Pa. says his
father often heard Fausctt acknowl-
edge this. After Braddock fell, his
body was carried by the troops for
fcur days, when he expired. lie was
inferred in the middle Of the road, so
that all of the soldiers, wagons and
horses might pass over and oblitcratc
all vcstiges Of his grave from the eyes
of the savagcs. About twenty-ninc
years ago some laborcrs, who were rss
pairing tho road, came upon the re
mains, and after taking a number Of
the most prominent bones, rcinterrcd
the others. Some time afterwards
the scattered bones were collected
and sent to Pcalc's Museum, which
was in Philadelphia at that time
Braddock's grave is in Faycttc coun-
ty, Penn, and is marked by plain
shinglc nailed to n tree, where part of
the bones arc Inferred This is the
only monument which serves to point
out to the traveller tho last resting
