Heavy ImpOrtations of Gold.

Recent statements made by Mr.. Bur-
chard, Director Of the Mint, enable us
to measure, with toIerable approach 10
accuracy. the large volume Of the pre-
cious metals which is flowing into the
United States from foreign committees
Within the last three months our impor-
tation of coin and bullion have amour.
ted 10 $34,3l2,745, and there are at
present more than 65,500,000 on the
way, making an aggregate of about $40
600, 900 for the three months. This is
at the rate of $3.50, ,000, 600 per annum,
or more than three times our average
expectation of gold since the full ex-
ploitations of the California mines This
wonderful reversal of the current, this
turning back of the outfowing tide OF
gold aud substituting for. it an inHowiue
tide of more than three times the amount
is so contrary to the usual and natural
course Of things that II challenges the
thoughtful attention Of the financial
world. As this country is the larges,
producer of the. precious metals they
should be, in any ordinary condition Of
trade, a heavy article Of export, and not
of import. The present great influx OF
gold must, in the nature OF things, be
temporary; but the Director Of the Mint
thinks it may continue for at least six
or seven months. Its tendency, while
it lasts, is toward an enormous expah-
sion of our circulating medium and q
general enhancement of prices In other
words. it tends to introduce new era

Remains of q MastOdOn Discovered
in Missouri. --...e


ST. LOUIS, October l4-Additional
particulars have heen received here re-
garding the discovery yesterday Of the
remains Of msstodon at point lit
tie north of Sedalia. in this State In
cleaning out an old spring the workmen
struck huge bones, and were obliged to
close their labors Gwet
subsequently more careful exhuma-
ton disclosed a mastodon's bones in
good condition. Of the portions al
ready recovered, the tusks are little
over four feet long. They curve down
ward little at the points, but in other
particulars resemble the tusks of an ele-
phant. Tue jaws. one of which only
was brought in. the right one, are about
five feet long, and will weigh something
like seventy-five pounds. The nerve
cavity on the jaw hone is three quarters
of an inch in diameter. The imniars, OF
which there are two in the jaw-bones
are over six inches long and four wide.
Appearances indicate that the monster
lived at one time where it died. Some
thing like bushel OF acorns and nuts
were found in such position that leads
to but one conclusion-thst they came
from the paunch of the animal. Two
sections of the yertab,G &c were also
brought in, and are Of huge proportions
Two gentlemen of Sedalia have secured
the privilege OF unearthing the rest o
the remains, and are at work with s
force of men Some q teen years ago
one Of the largest mastodons ever found
in the Uu;ted States was exhumed whil'
cleaning ont a spring in Benton County

discovery.

night, for beating and otherwise cruelty

nal Dover F,r s)n. tima past, the
neighbors say, he has been treating his
wi e in most shameful manner. He
was threatened, if he did not cease bus
cruelties to her, he would be punished
On Friday last the father came here
and took his dau2 2bter awav from Young.
On Saturday night last Young was de-
coyed into o retiled street, and at given
signal the gas was turned out, and a
squad numbering about 25 men surroun-
ded him A cloth was quickly thrown
over his head, and he was marched off.
He was terribly frightened. and yelled
murder. Not a word was spoken by bis
captors, but they all worked according
to signs given by one OF their number,
who appeared to he the Captain.
The prisoner was taken to the gas
works, in obedience to the leader, and
laid under the coal-tar pump. His shirt
collar was first unbuttoned and warm
coal-tar run down mis- back, filing bis
shirt Then his pantaloons were unbu'-
toned and they were filled. To fjnis b
the job, they stood the frightened wretch
on his bead and pumped the warm coal
tar in copious quantities down his pauta-
loon legs. BY this time he was we'll
coated with warm tar from head to foot
and severely ;pummeled iI the bargain.
Tue mysterious squad then quietly dis
banded and Young was allowed to go
his way. a2Tf f
Bv the time he reached home the tar
had cooled and solidi6ed in his hair and
all over his body sealing his fine clothing
fast to his skin. Physicians we're sent
for, help called in, and the whole night
spent in the severe and painfultask OF
relieving him. Turpen,ine and carbon
oil were freely used the entire night, and
from the effects of scraping and rubbing
the poor fellows body is frightfully
swollen, the blood fairly bursting from
the veins. 1t took three hours to remove
his c,othing. His father, it is said, offers
reward OF $500 for the apprehension
