ART DISCOVERIES IN CYPRUS.

Lovers of ancient art will rejoice,
says the London Globe, at discov-
cry just made at Cyprus. Held in
succession by the Egyptian, the
Persian, the Greek, and the Romans
it is not wonderful that traces OF
their occupation should occasional
ly occur in the island. And Cyprus
has furnished the archeologist
with a goodly stock Of materials.
The latest addition promises to be
of exceptional interest. At Palaa
semessas, the accepted site of the
ancient Amathus, on the southern
coast, and six miles distant from
Limasol, men have been digging
stones for some time past for Port
Said, on the opposite coast of the
Mediterranean. They unearthed a
colossal statue, calcareons stone, Of
Herculese holding lion before him
by the hind paw. The statue is per-
feet down to the knees, but the legs
are wanting. 1t measures in its
present shape nine feet in length.
The limbs are thick set and heavy,
and the whole is said to be Of every
artistic workmanship. This is the
only information we have for an
opinion on the age and origin of the
same. Amathus was one of the old
est towns Cyprus, and was coloniz
ed at an early period by the Pheni-
clans, who first introduced the wor
ship of Hercules under the name of
"Melkart" or Malika." The work
is however, probably early Greek.
Whether we shall have the means
of judgeing for ourselves is doubt
full. The discovery was made in
plot of private land belongingito the
British Vice Consul at Limasol,
near Pictro Loiso. That function
ary was quickly on the spot, settled
about the price with the laborers,
and thus became sole proprietor of
the treasure, with a view of send
ing it to the British Museum. Then
his difficulties began. The Cover
nor ofCyprus interfered, claiming g
the huge relic of antiquity for the
imperial Museum of Constantnople.
The dispute has not terminated, and
will in all likelihood be shifted to
Stamboul for settlement. Mean
while the statue, guarded by "Zap-
tiels." remains on the spot where il |
was found. .-.-

The oath of Office was then ad-

The oath of Office was then ad-
ministered by the Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court, when Governor
Allen was escorted to his room.
The members of the Senate and
House of Representatives assembl-
ed in the Senate Chamber and the
oath of office was administered to
Lieutenant Governor A. Hart. Mr..
Hart spoke as follows:
Lieutenant Harris InaugeraI.
Senator'S enter upon the Office to
which 1 have been chosen by the people
of the States with desire to discharge
its duties faithfully and impartially and
in such a way as to secure the rapid and
correct transaction of the business which
may come before the Senate. The con-
stitution and laws state, so far as they
are applicable, together with the rules
adopted by your body for its govern
ment, will be strictly observed. If
mistakes are made you will correct them
and shall rely largely for my success
and efficiency in this position upon
your active cooperation and assis-
tance.
Ohio, though one of the youngest in
point of wealth and political power,
stands among the very foremost of the
states of the Union. With so many i'm
portant interests to be protected and
guarded there will be at all times a de-
4 for L.
persons who look upon the office of a
legislator as a m ere sinecure utterly
misapprehend the duties and response
bilities of that position.
The Senate chamber is place for
earnest painstaking labor, and the ses-
sion upon which we have en- tered will
be in the highest sense, harmonious
working session. One of the great evils
of our time is too much hasty legislation
and as result every legislature is re-
quired to spend portion of its time re-
pealing or modifying enactments incon.
siderately passed by its predecessors.
To-day, it seems to me, the great need
of the State is not so much the passage
of new laws as the modification and
condensation of those in force while the
Legislation of the State is subject to
criticism, it is a matter of profound sat
isfaction and pride that during the sew
enty-two years of the life of the State
no charge of corruption has ever been
Justly made against any General AS
sembly of Ohio.
l anticipate pleasant session and
trust the work accomplished here will
not only be of permanent value to the
people but that all our deliberations will
be conducted with that dignity and
courtesy which so well becomes mem-
bers Of an important legislative assem-.
bly,.
The inaugural Ball opened at s
O'Clock and continued till long after
midnight. 1t is said to have beer
| a grand affair of the kind.
We are now living in a democrat
ic state. Although the sun ha:
thus far hid his face, we trust tha
all will be bright and pleasant soon
The inaugural address is a modest
} business like, and a sensible docu-
ment. Thus far the new Governo.
has commenced well.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The Constitutional Convention is
having a tremendous tussle with
the subject of the Courts. The
point at issue seems to be whether
the administration of justice shall
be simple and direct, to accommo-
date the people, or complicated and
dilatory, to accommodate the law
yers.

FIGHT WITH A DEER.
A Shovel Saves a Mans Life.

The Litchield (Minn.) Ledger
says: About two weeks ago a
Swede by the name of Torgilerson,
who resides in Swift county, was
proceeding TO neighbor's, some
three miles distant from his own
home, carrying shovel on his shoul-
der, which he was returning to his
neighbor, from whom he had bor-
rowed it. He had accomplished
about half the journey and was pass
ing through small grove when he
heard a crashing in the underbush
and, turning round, saw a stalwart
deer, of the buck persuasion, max
ing for him with every demonstra-
tion of hostile intentions.
There was but one course to pur-
sue, and that was to fight for his life
and, being powerful man, he an
ticipated an easy conquest. Mistak-
ing man! The deer charged with
antlers lowered even as an enraged
bull would lower his head when dash
ing at his foes. Nels grasped his
shovel and stood stoutly on the de-
fensive. As the enraged buck near
ed him he aimed a desperate blow
with his shovel full at the head ol
the deer.
1t struck one of his antlers with
such force as to break it, but the
concussion was so strong that il
forced Nels backward several feet
and hurled him breathless against 6
tree. Just how the fight went aftel
that Nels don't remember, but he
fought with all the strength of des.
peration, and at last the deer and
himself both fell to the ground, an6
Nels lost all conciousness for long
time.
When he "came round to his sou
again." the deer was lying stark dead
near by him, and could barely craw
away. His clothes were in rags, hi
left cheek torn open, cash on thu
right side where the deer had inser
ted one of the prongs of his antlers
and three fingers of his left hant
damned up. The shovel was tota
wreck, and the carcass of the dee
was pretty well hacked around th'
head and shoulders.
The blow that caused the animal
death was inflicted by a sharp cor
ner of the shovel remaining on thi
handle after most of the blade hat
been broken of. The wounded mai
succeeded in crawling back to hi
home, which he reached in terribl,
exhausted condition. 1t is though
that he will survive his wounds.

VIRTUES OF THE MAIDSTONE.

VIM OGS VI sHG "hDSi ONIs
Miss Mary J. Graves, daughter O
Henry Graves Esq, from Layton
Essex county, Virginia, passed
through our town yesterday, accom-.
panied by her brother, to take the
boat for their home in Essex, having
just returned from Richmond, Va.
where she sought relief from pain
having been bitten by a mad dog Oh
the 9th instant. She found a mad.
stone in the possession of a Mrs
Hix, on First street, No. 410, Rich.
mond, Va, and had the stone apoli
ed to her thumb five times at a cost
Of SIS for each application. The
stone has to remain twelve hours
each time, and on the first applica-
tion afforded her great relief; and
she is now in good spirits,and feel
ing no pain or inconvenience what
ever from the bite. The stone is
about the size of a hickory nut, and
was formerly owned by Mr.. Hum
phry Sale, of Caroline county. Az
ter his death at sale it was bought
by Mrs. Harrison, OF Richmend
city, who still owns it, she having
paid 81, 800 for it. Miss Graves was
informed that this stone had been
applied to over three hundred per-
sons, proving entirely successful in
every case, no person ever experien-
cling any troubles afterward from the
bite.-Virginia Star.

were had:
Resolved, By the Board of Com
missioners, that we in behalf of all
good citizens condemn the escape
of the convicted burglars, Willis and

the result of a want of ordinary care
and prudence in the discharge of
his official duty. And be it further
RESOLVED, That we regard the
conduct of the Sheriff after the es-
cape, in not making any proper eff
forts to recapture the prisoners, in
not calling into requistion any of
the means and appliances the law
places at his disposal and command
as such Sheriff, as being negligent
in the extreme to say the least. And
be it further
Resolred, That we demand forth
with of him, the Sheriff J. R. Bow
man, an increase of his official bond
to the amount of twenty-thousand
dollars, and further that the Audi
