prescribed depth, at one place, by the presence
OF stone. After much labor, and with the
aid OF a team it was finally lifted. 10 the amaze
ment of all the bystanders, the stone was found
to be laid in mortar or cement; and stranger
STILL between the upper stone, and stone
below, imbedded in the cement, was found q
piece of paper with writing thereon. The
writing is almost illegible, and is written in
an extremely heavy and ancient hand. Ger
tain words and figures are easily read upon it,
that showes its date to have been III or
1871, but they give no clue to the purport of
the writing. The stone is about two feet six
inches long, and eighteen inches thick. 1t is
hattened on one side apparently with the chisel
or pick, but the other side, which was upper
most is rounded. 1t was found at the depth
of about four feet from the surface. No one
could give the slightest account of its origin OF
purpose, and even conjecture was at fault.

and the Waterford farm, 10 the same county,

mer farm contains about 420 acres, and the
latter 500 acres of land. Not fifteen years
ago the Stuart's Neck farm was sold for ST..
600. The increase of value is on account oI
its adaptation to peach and berry culture, and
the fine buildings. In 1865 the Waterford
farm sold for $ll, 900 at trustees sale, and one
year ago it was sold for 100000.

soTvING.-Thankfulnss for received
help Is both natural and becoming. While it
IS pleasant TO the bestOwer of good TO be thus
acknowledged. the benefit is more especially to
the recipient of iavors because il has the
tendency to develop those quslities of soul
which men every where commend. A thank.
tul spirit cannot be out of harmony towards
the object of its gratitude; no more can it
exist without calling into close and intimate
association with it the passions of pleasantness
and love. There may be exceses even in the
subllmer and more noble passions of the human
soul, but praises and thanksgiving cannot be
drawn too deep, nor ascend too high, nor be
spread too far, nor last too long. As there is
no abyss of sorrow from which man may no,
be lifted, no height Of moral excellence on
which he may not stand. no kindred spirit
whose lite power may not be developed in hin,

" Gopher Bill of Philadelphia, as his witness,
and Hope. another, has secured the equally Gel
ebrated Piggy Woodove." 1t is probable
that such men will swear to anything, as they
are well known to be companions OF thieves.

as escaped Sing Sing couvicts. The recogni-
tiOn was positively made by JOS Jackson, one
of the prison keepers of Sing Sing, who went
