to the scene of the impending
conflict. Il is expected McNeeley
will be surrounded by 5000 Mexicans
and that his faithful band is doomed to
massacre. United States troops are in
easy support on the Texas side OF the
Rio Grande. The American soldiers
crossed to assist McNeeley in covering
his retreat, but were subsequently or.
dered back. The commander said that
his standing orders from Washington
would not permit him to CROSS. Mo
Neeley is q brave and cool officer, but
desperate in the extreme. During the
war he was captain of . Confederate
company Of picked scouts, and acquired
great fame as cavalry fighter. II is
stated that the cattle thieves were seen
by United States troops while crossing
the river, and that q demand was made
several days ago for their surrender.

RELICS OF THE STONE AaE.-Dr. Eans
Hildebrand. the Swedish antiquary, has
just made . peculiarly interesting dis
covery in the neighborhood of Chris
tianstad. At Nymo, near the town. Q
tanulus from the bronze age was ex-
humed. in which. under great heap of
stones, were found two burned corpses
and small bronze ring. In q stone
chest close by were found the bones Of
about twenty persons, all buried in o
sitting posture, together with two amber
beads and q bono spear-head. But the
most important discoveries were made
in the wholly untouched "Jettestue" at
Fjelkinge. By the side Of the entrance
were several hundred fragments OF rich
ly ornamented clay pots and two flint
axes. Inside were found human skele-
tons. q quantity of amber. perforated
animal tooth, four bone vessels, flint
knives, etc. In the southern portion OF
the chamber itself were the bones OF
four sitting figures, and skull was
picked in perfect preservation. Unfor-
tunately the roof gave way. which made
it impossible to investigate the northern
part of the chamber. Bones Of do
mestic animals were scattered every,
where. The great importance Of thii
discovery consists in the strong addi'
tional evidence it gives of the existencs
Of domestic animals IN Sweden during
the Stone Age.
