A vase, lately drawn by fisherman from
the Seine, covered with sand and shells so as
to hide its form, was sold to an antiquary.
On cleaning it he discovered vase of the
purest style, egg-shaped, and wonderfully
carved. The metal of which it is composed
is unlike any known, but the antiquary says
it is ''bronze of Corinth," and Seneca says of
it that it sold for four times its weight in gold
Six kinds of metal are employed in its COM
position-gold, silver, brass, lead, iron and
tin-but the exact quantities are unknown.
1t probably goes back to Caesars epoch.

The Peoria Gazette says that the practice
OF boys standing in front of the Opera House
entrance at the close of an entertainment,
with their umbrellas raised and their trow-
sers rolled up, is very wrong. 1t is provoking
indeed for young lady, observing these in
dlcations OF prevailing rain, to stop in the
lobby, fix her things, cover her head with
something, and muffie herself up generally,
and then step out under starlit, cloudless
sky and hear the wicked boys giggle. 1t is
all very wrong.

enable US to give them an insertion
in this issue, and the illness of one Of

not the time, had We the disposition,
TO comment upon the doings. The

SERIoNs INJURY.-Last Friday cv-
ening while Mr.. Otis A. Kingsbury
was engaged in saving some strips
from plank with rim saw at the
factory of his father near the A. s. G..
w. Ry. station in this town, the saw
caught his right hand almost severing
the two outside fingers and cutting a
deep cash in the next finger. The
two fingers hung by but. small por-
tion of the skin, and it became neces-
safy to sever them entirely. Hopes
are entertained that the other finger
that was injured may be saved. Some
two or three months ago, while Mr..
Kingsbury was engaged working in a
saw-mill in Michigan, he had the mis-
fortune TO receive an injury by which
he lost the use of his right eye. This
is a severe affiiction.
