"A lady in letter from Long Branch to
the Philadelphia Press draws this unpleasant
picture OF the fashionable married women
there:
A married woman of the fashionable kind
at Long Branch has arrived at that, point
where there is nothing more that can be de-
sired. She has suite OF rooms set apart for
her exclusive nse. She has servants who
have neither eyes nor ears; she has a carriage
lined with satins as luxurious as .eider down
which comes and goes it the wave of her
jewelled hand. She has a professional bath
er TO take her into the briny fluid, lwho knows
how to manage so that even the Aclantic
ually very young man attached to her by IN
visible reins, after the dramatic manner of
Aunt Trotwood and Mr. Dick This inpo-
cent creature fills the measure of her vanity
when nothing better has been gathered for
the slaughter. The most desperate ffrtations
are seething and bubbling whilst the hus-
band is growing bald with hard thinking in
wall street. If this woman is cursed with any
progeny, she has muse or governess for
every child, whilst French maid waits at her
elbow to comb and adjust her false hair, to
powder, pencil and paint, to unhook, unlace,
or unite. Why, Queen Elizabeth was denied
more than halt the luxuries this American
princess enjoys. What return to the world
does this woman make for all she takes Gut of
il. Her mental organization is as false as her
physical; and yet New York sends scores of
just such women to all the fashionable resorts
in the country. Can women be said TO be en-
slaved when we have such pictures before our
eyes? Ii snch are in bondage, it is only the
God who created them can unseal their ewes.

Verdict for plaintiff, and $500 damages.

A CAVE OF SKULLS has been discovered in
Canada. We find this description of it in the
Dunnvie correspondence of the Toronto
Globe:
Cons iderable excitement has been caused in
this neighborhOod by the discovery, lew days
ago. of pile of some two hundred human
skeletons, buried about five feet in the earth
on the farm of Daniel Frednburg, in the
township of Cayuga, about ten miles west of
this place. 1t appears that human skulls have
been found at various times during the last
lew years, scattered about this locality, but
never in such large quantities as on this oc-
casion. Believing that there were more to be
iound, some parties undertook to search Tor
them, and were lucky enough TO hit upon this
plle, after digging about five feet. They were
| In circular pit atont six feet in diameter
evidently formed by art The skulls are pret-
| ty well preserved, but the other parts OF the
| skeletons are badly decayed aud broken up
Along with the skeletons were found short
smoking pipes made of stone, large ocean
shells, iron hatchet-heads, stone heads, and
other articles which have been carried away
by the neghbors who have visited the spot,
but there is still good number of skulls and
broken pieces of skeletons. Various wild ru-
mors are afioat as to how the skeletons came
there, and to what race OF people they origi-
nally belonged. From the fact that many Of
the skulls are pretty large, and apparently
well developed, some of the country people,
more credulous than learned, believe that
they belonged to a race OF mortals superior to
any now extant, and strange and various are
the theories which they have invented to ac-
count for the-to them-strauge phenomena.
The simple fact OF the matter evidently is that
these searchers after dry boneS stumbled upon
an old Indian grave. The pipes and other
articles found among the bones corrobcr9te
this view of the Case. Nor is the discovery OF
old skeletons by any means a new thing in
that locality. On this same farm, particular
ly, skulls and other parts OF the human frame
have been found, evidently indicating that it
was in times long ago an old buying ground.
Such is the solution intelligent examiners
give of this last discovery, and it is no doubt
correct

ATTEMPT AT KIDNAPPING.-The Kennebee
Journal says on Friday afternoon there was
considerable excitement on the streets in Au-
gusta, caused by a rumor that little child had

Barton of Sidney in October last was granted
a divorce from his wife, Theresa A. Barton,
