A strange discovery is reported from
the Lake of Geneva. A tourist having
lost his trunk, two divers were employed
to search for it. While they were below
water they found whatthey supposed to
be a village, since covered by The lake.
Their statement led to m investigation
of the spot by the municipal authorities,
who took measures to ascertain the
truth of the extraordinary account Of
the divers. On covering the placid sur
face with oil, these latter were able to
distinguish the plan of "A town, streets,
squares, and detached houses marking
the bed Of the lake. The ruddy hue
which characterized them led the obser-
vers TO suppose that the buildings had
been covered with the famous yermil-
lion cement which was used by the Cells,
Cimbri and the early Gaul5. There are
about 200 houses arranged over an Oh
long surface, near the middle of which
Is Il space more open, supposed to have
been used for public assemblages. At
the eastern extremity lies II large square
tower, which was taken for a dock. A
superficial investigation seems TO indl-
cate that the construction Of these
buildings dates from some centuries be-
fore our era. The Council Of Naud has
decided to have the site Of the dwelling
incloscd by a lefty stretching from the

the most interesting archaeological dis
coveries Of our day.

THE NATURAL DEATH-TIME.-The pc
riod of one hundred years was some time
ago declared by the eminent DIR. Farr to
be mans natural death-time. A tpresent,
however, he finds, as the result Of ten
years approximately accurate and com
plete registration, that this limit Is
scarcely reached by one English child
in Il hundred thousand; indeed in some
districts, the proportion IS much below
this. 1t seems, nevertheless, that, while
two hundred years ago the mortality OF
London was about S per cent. and one
hundred years afterward . per cent, It
is now only u per cent. There Is good
reason to believe that this may be still
further reduced, very much of the ex-
listing mortality depending upon pre-
ventable causes-such az impure air
and impure water, negligence on rail
roads, on shipboard, in mines, etc.

Kentucky Fun.

-Four men, including the sheriff of
Carroll county, have been arrested in
Kentucky for the shooting of the girl
Carrie Anderson at Worthwhile. One
of them has turned states evidence, and
he testifies that he was invited to "go
with the boys and have some fun" Al
but one were armed with dopble-bar-
relied shot-guns, and said they were
going TO "give Bill Anderson scare
SO as to "run him off," lie had already
been warned by what are called the
Vigilantes, and for some reason his
presence was not desired in the county.
at least by some of the people. Bill
Anderson appears to have been an OBJ
noxiOus citizen, though precisely on
what ground, except that he and his
sons were addicted to drink, does not
appear. lie had been well-to-do and
respected man in the community, but
had come down in the world and was
accounted disreputable. We suppose
that every community is afflicted with
such men, and if they are scarce in
Kentucky that state is fortunate. But
among civilized people it is not the
practice to iirun OFF, sHOh mon and af-
fiict other communities with their pres
ence. IL they commit any offence
against the law there are lawful modes
of dealing with them, and so long as
they do not they are entitled to the pro-
teciipn Of the law,
The "fun" of the Kentucky "hoys'
consisted In throwing ball of cotton
wicking, saturated with turpentine and
ignited, into Anderson's house and
waiting with shot guns for develop
ments. The house took fire and as the
door opened some one of the party
fired. 1t proved that Anderson's
daughter was coming out for bucket
of waier and she received fatal wound.
The killing of an innocent girl filled the
midnight rufiians with CONSERVATION
and aroused the Indignation of the COM
munity. The guilty men tried TO keep
the secret, but a detective got clue to
their movements and caused their ar
rest. The turning states evidence OF
one of the party is likely to fix the guilt
upon them. And one of them was Jo-
seph hyriGk, sheriff of the county in
which the outrage occurred, q man who
was entrusted with the duty of enioro-
ing the law and protecting citizens.
This was certainly fine business for him
TO be engaged in. II is to be hoped that
he will find the weapons of the law
turned upon him and suffer tho penalty
which his conduct deserves. II win be
to the credit OF the state of Kentucky ia

p- 1t is well known that the presi-
dent and faculty of the Vermont State
Agricultural College have always had
an irrepressible yearning for an agricul-
tural life, but the cruel fates have sup
piled them with nothing but money
wherewith to crafty the yearn. No
farm had been given them, consequent
ly they were obliged to repress their
burning zeal for the Independent far
mer's life, and with Christian self-deni-
al they have converted the money TO
the use of the classical course of the
alleged University. But Il plying
benefactor in Brattleboro, if we are
correctly informed, has offered the in
stitution farm in that lovely place for
all experimental station. At last the
State Agricultural College has ground
to stand upon. The owls and bats of
ignorance are betaking themselves to
the dark tree tops overhanging that farm,

lecture on the theory and practice of

for another purpose. In one part of

institution at Burlington, where the
students will continue until the small
hours of the night to manifest their de-
