then abandoned $50 years ago bya party
of Europeans. DR.. Thomas b. Hlllegas,
OF Upper Hanover, says that he tried
working this mine S5 years ago, and

told that the value of the mineral would
not pay for working the mine, and so
he filled 1t up again.

pB An Ottawa, Ont, special says, a
shocking case of neglect has just come
to light in Hull, near that city. A youth
of IL years of age was taken down with
small pox, and his family deserted
him. The neighbors hearing of it went
to the house where he was stopping,
with bowl of soup. On entering the
room they found the youth covered
with blood and almost at the point of
death. The soup being placed to his
lips he ravenously swallowed it. An
examination showed that he had eaten
flesh from one of his arms i'm the agony
of hunger. He died in few minutes
after the arrival of the neighbors.

FOR HUMANITY SAKE.

1t is said that humanity consists in
being humane, yet for this very charac-
teristic we suppose that Mr.. Henry
Bergh, President of the Society for the
prevention of cruelty 10 Animals, of
New York city, has beer execrated and
denounced more than any man in the
United States, by those inhuman beings
of humanity But if those dumb ami
mails who have fallen under his observa-
ton and been the recipients OF his gen
erous and benevolent care, could ex-
press their gratitude, monument OF
praise would daily be erected to his
name.
How we wished Henry Bergh had
been in our town the other day, and
that we had such State and Corporation
laws as those upon which his society is
sustained and carried on, when we set
at our Office window and saw man
drive up to the rack below us, and hitch
his horses in such manner, that about
four hours after when the thermometer
was about 90 degrees in the shade, if it
had not been relieved, one OF which
would have choked to death. Here were
his poor, faithful, hardworking animals
standing in the broiling sun, thirsting
and fre.ting in trying TO fight the flies,
while he was enjoying in the shade his
whiskey and pipe.
Such men are worse than brutes, and
such men by the strictest law should be
punished. We were sorely tempted to
unhitch those horses and start them
on their way home, for in so doing we
believe would have been an act, which
if not according to law, human justice
would acquiesccd in. We believe our
corporation authorities can aud ought
to pass law prohibiting such iphuman
acts. The rules of humanity and justice
demand that this matter of the proven
ton of cruelty to animals should have
the most thorough consideration and
attention.

Boz GEN. JOE JOHNSTON S VIEWS
In recent conversation with the Wash
incton correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer Gen. Joseph E. Johnston ex-
pressed the opinion that as the demo
cratic party had lost nothing by the
extra session it must have made gain
and said its most important work was
its persistent action to defeat the en-
ployment of marshals and deputy mar
shals at polls. While they had not got
the statute repealed, they had dealt it
such blow that it could not long sur
yiye. The General declared he had
seen more of the working of politics
during the last three months than in
the sixty years of his life. Some things
which he forbore to name Disguised
him very much. He had no taste for
heated political debate, and preferred
a military or civil life. Although he
was glad he had Seen what he bad, and
thought it an immense benefit to him,
he did not care for its continuance. AS
10 renewing the struggle next winter
he said he knew no reason why they
should not keep it up, and from present
annearances he did not see how the
democratic party could help winning in

An INTERESTING CABINET.

A few days since, on passing the
Bank here, our attention was arrested
by seeing in its windows a large and
interesting collection of Indian stone
implements, weapons and ornaments,
which have been gathered together,
from different and distant localities, by
our fellow citizen Benjamin +. Harri-
son, Esq.
The collection comprises dozen
pipes and the same number of axes, OF
various forms, dates and sizes, and ran
ging, in their respective ages, from the
remote antiquity of the prehistoric
mound builders 10 those in modern use.
Then there are some thirty or forty
specimens of celts, gouges, skinning
knives, pestles, grindstones, whorls,
sinkers, graduated weights, flint pertor-
ators, beads, &C., together with a hun
dred or more assorted spear and arrow
heads, some of which are large enough
to suit the size of an aboriginal Goliah,
while others are so diminutive as to JUS
tify the old English superstition OF
"Elfdarts by the Fairies thrown" Be
sides the above mentioned articles,
which are all of stone, are a curious
stone war club, with the wythe handle,
covered with raw hide, copper whistle,
and celt fish-hooks and beads of bone,
and wampum made of shells, together
with an iron tommyhawk found on the
battlefield of Hanging Rock, near Rom
ney, which, from its historic associa-
.ions, is by no means the least interest
ing relic of the collection which Mr..
Harrisons archaeological curiosity and
persistent efforts have enabled him to
make, and which is well worthy of the
attention of all who feel any interest in
aboriginal antiquities.

par Fever and ague will now be a
luxury in which even the poorest can
indulge, now that the duty has been
taken off Of quiuine. Quinine is not the
most pleasant stuff in the world to take.
1t is not likely to form the basis of a
syrup for soda water drinks. No per-
son has ever been caught taking quinipe
for pleasure; still when person wants
quinine, it is like wanting pistol in
Texas, he wants it bad. Everyone must
rejoice TO see a tax of forty-five per
