It frequently happens that farm will not divide well among children there is trouble in making an equitable dis tribution of the property. In such in- stances it is well to consider the subject of life insurance. For small sum, paid annually, a large amount of ready money may be left to the widow or daughter at the period of ones death i; and they will be just as independent as the sons who divide and keep the farm. This suggestion is we'll worth needing by thousands who are interested, and we commend them to the old New York Life Insurance Co.,, at 346 and 348 Broadway, New York.

Indian Relics.

In renewing an. old Indian mound on
 Colonel Aliens farm in Roekland town ship, few days ago, says the Daven- port Iowa) Gazetta, the workmen came across some interesting relics of the long-gone race of Indians known gen. erally as the ''Mound builders" Colonel Aliens house is situated on a spur of the bluff about five miles below the city, and at a point from which the ] view is unrestricted for several milesu and down the river-certainly 8 fine | location for an Indian lookout.
 The mound was about thirty feet in diameter at it's base, six feet in height, in shape even and symmetrical, and formed of light soil, which, under meath the sod, was perfectly dry. The bones of two bodies were found, one on each side of the centre, east and west but time has played sad havoc with tlem, and little remains that would be of material aid to the an- tiquary. The lower jaw-bone of one still holds together, the teeth sound but considerably worn down into the crown. By the side of each body was found an earthenware vessel--specimens of antique pottery of no mean shape and design for tho rude age in which they were manufactured. The vessels or vases are pineapple shaped, four inches in diameter at the rim, which is little more than an inch wide, swell ing out to six inches in diameter, and tapering slightly rounded at the bot tom, and about five inches deep. There is slight attempt at ornamentation on the rim lines running up and down diagonally, with short parallel lines filling the spaces, and four knobs at equal distance around two of them with an opening adapted to thong or string for carrying; the bowl is marked or, rather, scratched over with finer
 lines. They are made of clay mixed with sand, evidently kiln-baked, per fectly smooth inside, and are of the uniform thickness of one inch. In one of them was found shell, or rather what was once shell, for it went into dust at the touch. The implements of war which were got out whole were stone tomahawk, an arrow head, and large boulder with groove round the centre, possibly 8 battle axe other pieces were too much broken to put together. These relics are much the same in general shape and design as have been found in South America, in the Southern States of our country, and throughout the Mississippi Valley--rec- ords of race long extinct, people without name, who left no history, nor even tradition, to guide the antiquary in his search. When Colonel Allen built here, several years ago, their were six of these mounds. Two were cut down and wheeled off by the laborers, and whatever was unearthed was carried off or broken the present one makes the third, with the above result. The others will probably remain in statu quo, as monuments of the by-gone race, unless the Historical Society make an attack in force.

Molten Iron.

It seems incredible that man can hold his naked hand in a stream of motion iron without injury, yet the thing has been done over and over again all that is required being to have his hand moist, and if his hand is dry, he has merely to dip it in water, and he may hold his hand for certain time in that stream of motion iron without re- ceiving any injury whatever. This was exhibited publicly at @ meeting of the British Association at Ipswich, many years ago. It is one of the miracles of science, so to speak; they are perfectly credible to scientific men, because they know the principle upon which it hap pens, and that principle is familiar to you, that if you throw drop of water upon hot iron, the water retains it's spherical form, and does not spread upon it and wet it. Vapor is brought to that condition by intense heat, that it forms sort of film, or atmosphere between the hand and the hot iron, and for time that atmosphere is not too hot to be perfectly bearable.

Old Love

blade
That once so gallant champion made,
As IL cleaned from the castle wall.
The jewel loses its lustre
As i; lies 10 it's velvet nest.
Til dull and dim as the good red gold
Tbat showed such royal light Of old,
As 1t flashed from the beauty's bress.
The blue eyes loses its power
As age comes creeping on;
The fair fo' m dtops from i's stately grace,
The roses fly from the carsuorn face,
Tue Oh arm IRON the trembling tone,
The color fades from the canvas,
The magic from singing rhyme,
Nor IL there joy 10 this world OF ours
Riches, OF glories, or hopes, or flowers
But dies st the touch Of time?
Ay, love in its pure serenity,
Can tho pitiles, spelI defy;
For tears cannot drown, nor absence dim,
And death itself may not conquer him,
Aud true love never Can die.

MILLERsfowN.-- This place seems to bs
the centre OF the most productive portion OF
the great Butler oil field. The wells which
have been struck there during the past
week have proved 10 be very large, but we
presume that their production Ia greatly ex-
aggerated. AS is the case in all parts Of
the lower oil region, the wells have to be
put down to very great depth. There
are three stage lines running to MilIerstown
daily--one from Brady's Bend, another from
Parker City, and third from Butler. The
place is rapidly building up. Four large
hotels have started, which are crowded With
guests. Many Of the old pioneers OF the oil
region. some who were at Oil City as early
az '6l, at Pithole aud Plumer iu '65, and
subsequently, along the creek, are to be met
with 10 Mi,lerstown. Business is, OF course,
at present very lively, notwithstanding The
low price OF oil. Those who have visited

excitement and recklessneas OF speculation,

days OF 1865. We met yesterday q gentle
