For THE RECORD.
VALENTINES DAP.

Valentines day is nearing us once again,
recalling to mind many pleasant memories of
the time when we did not consider it beneath
our dignity to send or receive valentine. I
remember very distinctly the receipt of my
first valentine, a gorgeous affair of pink satin
and gold stars with she usual amount of
poetry about heart being with me, where
ever might roam OF course was well
aware of the identity of the sender and am
also aware that his heart is not with re
wherever l roam. In passing along the
street ones attention is attracted by groups
of children standing before the windows of
various stationery stores, and one is apt to
hear the remark, "If / had a cent, I'd buy
that one, "that one" being generally the
ugiest one of the collection. By and by they
will look back to the present time and wonder
how they could be so silly. KATE.

AN ssEcoNoMIoALn GOVERNOR
Bedle is one of those economists par ercetLeRee
who would save at the spigot while he wastes
at the bung. He is very nervous lest the
Legislature should re-enact bill authorizing
the publication of the laws in the newspapers,
and goes SO far as to say ''tiiat the State can
not now afford it, But why does not his
Excellency maintain his consistency, and ask
the Legislature to reduce the fees of the
Clerks of the Supreme Court and the Clerk in
Ghaneery. They get between $40 200 and
900 out of their Offices every year, and
nobody is benefited except themselves, but
the money paid for publishing the laws was
public benefit, and was SO regarded by every
class and profession, except, peallaps, the one
to which the Governor belongs. This law
was abused, it is true, bat only in one or two
disreputable instances, by the publishers of
newspapers. The real abuse was at the
hands of the Legislature, and was continued
and permitted to grow, despite the protest of
nearly every legitimate publisher in the State
And when it was found that these evils, for
which the Legislature alone was responsible,
to repeal of the law. Can Governor Bedle
instance case where bis own profession ever
consented to the repeal Of a law because it
was abused by lawyers? The Governor,
while urging the Legislature to keep the peo-
pie in ignorance of the laws they are expected
to obey-because the State cannot afford TO
tell them what they are-with hot, If not in
decent haste, sends in his nominations to the
Senate for Clerk of the Supreme Court, Sec
rotary of State, and other officers, without as
much as limiting that the Legislature can make
a justifable saving to the people by reducing
their fees. Above all things, let us have con-
sstcncy in the administration of the Guberna-
torial Office. If there is to be cutting down,
let It strike hardest where it will do the most
good. 1t has been the fashion for years,
whenever ecoaomy was talked about to point
TO the money paid for publishing the laws and
for printing, aud behind the dust raised on
these subjects the State House officials have
walked cooly off with the enormous fees and
salaries in question: which will exceed the
amount paid In any one yer for publishing
the laws, and nearly equal the entire cost OF
both printing and advertising. We are not
sorry that the Governor has opened l,tis sub
ject to discussion, and we hope the Legislaz
ture will not let it drop until they get at TIE
truth. Outside Of the money paid to the
Legislature and its officers, more than one
hundred thousand dollars are annually alb
sorbed at the State House for salaries, fees
etc., yet the Governor, with all his affected
regard for economy never alludes to it,

JERSEY CENTENNIAL.-The State of New
Jersey declared herself to be an independent
State on July 2, 1776, and it is proposed to
hold State Centennial on July of this
year. 1t will be remembered that the Decla-
ration of Independence, adopted by the Phiiss-
delphia Congress, was then pending, and had
been under consideration since the 9th of
June. II appears the Jersey folks couldn't
wait for Congress to make mp its multiplicity
of minds on the subject and in theirimpatiepce
for definite issue, forestalled by some forty
eight hours or less. the declaration of the
united colonies, viii h put them all alike be-
You'd the rubicou Gf possible reconciliation
with the mighty mother country. How far
this action may have served to- end the hesita-
tions Of Congress can only be surmised but
it is probable that its influence was very POI
tent, as well as opportune, for the declaration
pending before Congress was In the last stag
es Of its parliamentary career, bound to be
either adopted or rejected finally within few
days at the furtherest and within twenty
four hours after New Jersey thus announced
her patriotic determination, the historic ses-
sion commenced, which, lasting all through
the night of the Sd of July, eliminated at
sunrise of the 4th in peal from the old bell of
Independence Hall, proclaiming Liberty
throughout all the land, to all the inhabitants
thereof. ~. y. Erpress.

There is no medicine prescribed by physi-

evidence of its success and superior virtue as
BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP for severe Coughs,
Colds settled on the Breast, Consumption, or
any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof
of that fact is that any person afflicted, can

REMAINS OF PREHISTORIC AMERICA
Several years ago considerable excitement
was created in Paramount, w. Va.y by the dis
covery of traces of an old macadamized road
extending along the right hank of the
Monongahela, opposite this place Recently
the Government engineering party engaged in
the survey of the'npper Monongaheka river,
with the view of slack watering that stream
from Morgantown to Fairmount, examined
this old road, and from the members of the
party we learn that there car be no doubt but
that this road furnishes another trace of the
lost race that once dominated the continent
long before the Indians came into possession.
There are traces of the road for nearly
eleven miles along the narrow strip of bottom
land between the hills and the river, though
at many points the river, having shifted its
channel and cut into the hills, has entirely
oblterated every evidence of it. Generally
the road is covered with from two to five feet
Of aluvium, either deposited through the
course of ages by the river floods, or else by
the slow washing of the hills skirting it. Its
width is SAID to be fifteen feet. The most
curious feature about the road is that the
stone Of which it is formed appears invariably
to have been burnt. Whenever the road shows
itself in the cutting banks, it is marked by the
black substratum of ashes. In depth the
broken stone varies from six inches TO eighteen
inches, of irregular fragments. The material
employed appears to have been largely conn
posed of bonlders Of red sandstone, and the
conjecture is that they were broken after be-
ing made hot with water thrown upon them.
There being few (if any bouders in the river
or adjacent country, the query arises, where
could the material have been obtained to make
this road? At the crossing OF the streams
there are no traces of bridge abutments or
piers, which leads to the conclusion that the
streams were crossed OH wooden bridges. At
many points the road is covered with trees
over 1850 years old, which makes it certain
that 1t was constructed hong before the advent
OF the white man and there are other
led inevitably to the conclusion that it was
made in those early ages when q semi-civilzed
people inhabited North America. No one
acquainted with the habits Of the American
Indians would give them credit for construct
ing such work of art as this.
