The White Mountains.

Although the proprietors of the Fab
yam House thought it best for their in.
terest to close their house yesterday, yet
the Mt. Pleasant House, near the Fabyan
and equally as good, as well as the grand
old Crawford House, are to remain open
until October 1st, and the Mt. Washing
ton Summit House will remain open I'M
til the trains of the Mt. Washington
railway are discontinued.
The foliage through the Notch is just
commencing to change, and that, togeth-
er with the fact that the SUBMITS of the
higher mountains are now covered with
snow, makes trip to the mountains ex-
ceedingly interesting; and no doubt
many people will avail themselves of the
low excursion rates which will be offered
next Sunday and all of the present month
after Monday next.

JAYS TO BE DONE.
The People Who Answer j. B. Done's Al
Turing Epistles.

There is a practical fiat money man
located, according to his own statement,
at 292 West 123d street, New York, who
seems to have got the idea of getting
money" into immediate circulation
down fine. He claims to be j. B. Done,
and holding that money is needed in or
der to start business and that the gov
eminent is rich enough to stand any
reasonable loss. he is anxious to sell
counterfeit money, or goods to use
his own term.
He has gotten out what is likely to
prove dangerously seductive set OF doc
uments. He is good deal of an artist
in his way, as a set of his papers re-
ceiyed by gentleman of this city shows
For example, the password and number
of the gentleman who received the let
ter was to be 'sDoll 65,' the password
probably remaining the same in all
cases, the number being changed. In
the main the scheme resembles the other
green goods proposals so freely scat
tered about in the past, but coming at
this time it may serve as special temp
tation to many who want to make money
and make it quickly. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say that the man who would be
fool enough to open correspondence
with the manufacturer" would regret it
in very short time. It is good thing
for business men that the generous and
big-hearted Mr.. Done, who is SO anxious
to add to the amount of money in clrcu-
lation, and men like him, never actually
send out any bad money. 1t is the old
sawdust game every time, and the vic
tins are ''done." That is all there is to

ANCIENT PAVING.
Some Interesting Relics Lately Found at
Pemaquid.

In making excavations a few days ago
at Pemaquid on the west side of the
river fine lot of paving in the vicinity
of the ancient earth fort, was unearthed.
This, think, is the first specimen of
paving found on this side of the river
and with the elaborate stone thing found
on the bottom of some of the cellars
evidences village of taste and refine
ment, but whose history, like that of
ancient Troy, lies beneath the soil.
This is locally known as the Dutch
settlement from the character of relics
found. Near the fort, which was cir
cular, were the curious level beds, ter
raced in the sloping banks of the river,
known as the "Dutch Beds.n The plow
has now obliterated them. Many Curl
GUS relics with the hoar of centuries
vicinity. One an unique fancy in tanning,
found on the site of their tannery, a
COWS udder entire with the teats. One
of the finest Indian relics ever found
WdS piChcu up ueI0 Ou tHc III VI tu0
river some so years ago. 1t was a small,
almost transparent, stone with an elabor-
ate and artistic profile of a naked Indian
with bow and arrow cut upon it.
1t would be interesting to know
whether there was tunnel from the fort
to the river. 1t appears almost certain
there was one. Some years agosan in
vestigation was attempted. The farmer
sunk shaft over the supposed tunnel
and at a depth of seven feet found some
bricks. Thrusting his crow-bar into the
earth with little lateral motion it
easily went into the loose ground it's
entire length, and becoming alarmed he
scrambled out with haste and filled the
excavation. The place where he oper-
ated is now plainly to be seen. This
place is one of great interest to the anti
quarian. 1t evidently extended up the
river for two miles where there is mill
privilege. 1t may have been con-
temporary and part of the ancient city
of jamestown on the east side of the
river, but there are indications that it
had prior existence. J. W. P.

THE PEARY VOYAGE.
What Captain Bartlett, of the Falcon
Says of the Trip.

Captain Bartlett, who commanded the
steamer Falcon, which has returned
from the Arctic after landing Lieutenant
Peary and party, says of the expedition:
Our voyage from st. Johns to North
Labrador was very stormy; dense logs
and numerous icebergs were encoun-
tered. At almost every port we touched
at some dogs were obtained. We Sc
cured 81, and could have got as many
more if required. If Lieutenant Peary
has altered the date of his return it is
unknown to any of us.
Mrs. Peary was in splendid health and
spirits, all reports to the contrary not
understanding. The voyage was very in
teresting, as we enjoyed fine weather af-
ter crossing the Arctic Circle, and had
an abundance of sport in the shape OF
polar bears, walrus, reindeer and sea
birds.
The boys were feeling first-class,
though some suffered considerably from
seasickness. During the first part OF the
voyage, icebergs were numerous, and 1T
required great caution to navigate
through them. Lieutenant Pearys
house is in very snug place, facing
south and sheltered from the northwest
and east gales.
The weather was extremely fine when
we left. A party was then about to start
with 5000 pounds Of provisions on the in
land ice, to be cached 800 miles north for
use next spring. Lieutenant Peary and
myself were on the best of terms, and
any report to the contrary is utterly I'M
true.
The following is an item from Lieuten-
ant Peary's letter to Bowering Bros,

The High School.

Principal Chase, of the High school,
arrived home last night from his vaca-
ton. Today he will be at the City build
ing making the final arrangements for
the temporary accommodation of the
High school.
1t is probable that the whole school
can be accommodated in the City build
ing, by furnishing recitation room for
each teacher. In the basement there are
three rooms, fitted with blackboards,
for the use of the evening school. On
the first floor the a1dermen's room,
council chamber and board of registra-
ton room will be utilized. On the
second floor classes will be assigned to
Reception hall and the large hall, or one
of the ante rooms. On the third floor
there is space enough to accommodate
four classes. There are two vacant
rooms in the Chestnut street school
house, which can be used, if necessary.
It is expected that the fourth class of
the High school will be larger this year
than ever before. In June over 200
grammar school pupils we're admitted to
the High school and the new class will
number nearly, if not quite, two hundred.
