Printers Circular: Caxton, the first
English printer, had three punctuation
marks-the comma, the colon. and the
period-but, says Mr.. Blades, an ex-
cellent authority in relation to Caxton
and everything concerning him, it is
doubtful II he had any idea of the prin-
ciples of punctuation. The earliest
known manuscripts are without any
points, nor is there any division between
the words. The confusion resulting
led to the separating of words by q sim
gle dot. Then a space between the
words superseded the dot, which was
made to perform another service. viz,
to show the divisions of sentence.
The Greek grammarians were the first
to recognize the limbs of asentence. A
clause they called comma, member
of q sentence colon, and complete
sentence period. Little attention,
however, was paid to these divisions for
long time. Aslius Donatus, who
fourished in the fifth century, aud
wrote grammar which served all
Europe until after the invention of
printing, was the first to distinguish
these divisions by placing dot at the
bottom of the line, where our full-point
now is, to designate the comma; in the
middle of the line, where the hyphen
is, for the colon; and at the top Of the
line, where our apostrophe is, for the
full-point. 1t was not until well into
the sixteenth century that printers be-
gan definitely adopting an acknowl-
edged system of graduated points.

Decay OF the Teeth.

DIR. Stephen Wickes, in his History
of Medicine in New jersey" says:
"Kalm, q Swedish traveller, 1747-49,
noticed that Europeans in North Amer
lea, whether born in Sweden, England,
Germany or Holland, or in America of
European parents, always lost their
teeth sooner than common. This was
especially true of women. The Indians,
as he had observed, always had fine
teeth. 1t did not therefore arise from
climate He ascribed it to the use of
tea and to the custom of eating and
drinking everything hot. The same
effect was produced upon Indian women
after they had become addicted to
the use of tea.-Dr. Foote's Health

The hostiles are thought to number about
300. Four chiefs are with them-Geronome
Mana, Naetcha, and Chihuahua. This morn
ing five dead bodies of a Mexican family
consisting of a man, wife. and three chill
dren, killed five miles from here, were
brought in and buried. One other is known
TO have been killed in the same vicinity, and
one badly wounded. Numerous ranches on
Bear Creek have been sacked, horses stolen,
and cattle killed. The Indians approached
within four miles of Fort Bayard. Three
vrOOf,S -
additional prospectors were killed on the
south fork of the Whitewater, and one
named Joe Bunting on Magollon Creek. The
latter made brave fight and killed two In
dams, one chief. The fight was witnessed
by Bunting's partner, just coming into
camp. He succeeded in killing two before
getting away. News has just been received
OF additional killing at Black Range. Fami.

From correspondence transmitted by the
