day last week by Mr. Roaob, and the pro

A correspondent of tbe Vennngo Specta
tor writes as follows of tbe curiosities of this
"region: , s
Tbe next curiosity Is tbe lodlan God,"
a Urge rook covered with Inscriptions, on
tbo shore ol the river, nine miles by water
and five by land, from tbe town. This
rock undoubtedly records tbe history Of
many hundred years. Among tbe figuree
yon can distinguish a turtle, a snake, an
eye, an arrow, a sun. These are symbols
or hieroglyphics. They reeord the exploits
and illustrious actions of forgotten nations
and their battles. Who shall decipher those
wondorous characters? Who shall write
tbe bleorv of those mlubtv trltes? How
muob of thrilling Interest and' romance re
mains bidden beneath those luscrlptloosf
Where Is )be proud warrior with bis plume,
and trophies? Where is tbe patriot that
fell, and the conqueror that triumphed and
exalted? That stone is sll that commemor
etea their greatness and glory. As you
look upon tbst bleak bistorio stone, fancy
calls up from tbe long uoremembered past,
the shout, tbe shock, tbe caruage and tbe
deadly strife of tbe victor and tbe vanquish
ed, whose glory and disgrace that wondrous
stones records. If it bsd been found amidst
the ruins of Tadmore or , Persepolic in
Greece or Rome, in France or - Britain a
thousand scholars would have labored for
its Interpretation, and ten thousand strang
er would have traveled to heboid tbe Won
der. Tbe Indians are nsarly gone. Their
last footsteps will soon be washed away
forever by tbe resistless waves; yet may
that stone, with every other memorial, re
main to carry to other times tbe remember
auce of tbat slogular people.
Our townsman, Mr. Geo. W. Winaor, bas
opened a branch of his extamive hardware
establishment in this place, at St. Peters
burg, Clarion county. Mr. Jas. Mcllwalne,
Jong connected with the store in this place
in the capacity of book-keeper, takes oharge
of tbe brooch establishment. The old-time
reputation of Mr. Wlnsor as an honorable
and square hardware dealer has preceded
him In tbat region, which coupled with the
fact tbat tbe store is under tbe charge of so
capable a man ss Mr. Mcllwalne, will un
doubtedly buildup a good trade for tbe
new store. Our readers In tbe "down r v
er" territory will find It decidedly to their
advantage to deal with Mr. Wlnsor, at St,
Petersburg.
One hundred yesrs ago tbe following law
was In full force in England:

shoes, or ye false hips, shall be prosecuted
for witchcraft, and ye marriage declared
null and void."

Tbe achievement of tbe United States
squadron at Marseilles, France, is causing a
good deal of comment abroad. .That city
and a thousand merchant ships were actu
ally saved from destruction by tbe discip
line, skill and Intrepidity of tbe officers aud
men.
Tbe squadron, consisting of the, Wabaeb,
Congress, - Brooklyn,' Plymouth, Shenan
doah, Juniata, and Wacbusette, under the
command of Admiral Alden, lay in the Na
poleon Basin, amid innumerable merchant
men of every description and from every
nation. Shortly after midnight an explos
ion startled tbe city, followed by . fire and
dense clouds of heavy smoke, which issued
from an Italian ship just arrived from Phila
delphia with a cargo of petroleurr. Tbe
nature of tbe danger soon becsme evident,
and it seemed Impossible to prevent tbe
spreading of tbe Ore from ship to ship, as
they lay in such a dim, sod a general con
flagration seemed Imminent, for tbe bouses
extended down to tbe wharf on every aide.
No city of France baa tbe means to extin
guish a great fire, and bence tbe people
gathered, contemplating tbe scene In panics
stricken, fascinated horror.
Presently a well-manned boat came from
tbe part of tbe basin illuminated by tbe
blaze and pulled directly toward tbe burn
ing sbip. This wss soon followed by an
other, then a third, ten, twenty, all tbe
boats of tbe American rquadron. A mo
ment later men were seen on the deck of
the burning ship. Tbe silence of tbe peo
ple on shore wss such tbat tbey conld bear,
through the smothered rosr and crsckie of
tbe Ore, tbe word of command and blows of
axes. Tbe people were thinking of the
hundreds of barrels of petroleum below and
its possible escspe on shore and communica
tion to other ships, perhaps others with pe
troleum, and in Imagination conceived the
whole surrfase of tbe basin covered with
blazing oil. Presently tbe burning vesiel
began to settle. She bad been scuttled and
ber cargo was now under water, tbe deck
being level with the surlace. The danger
from tbe escape of burning petroleum was
still Imminent, when a line of boats lashed
together stern and stern, was seen pulling
away, and as tbe file traigbteued out tbe
burning ship moved also, and was slowly
towed out to the bay by over two hundred
welUmanned oars. It was only then that
an Immense cheer broke from the thousands
of people who felt Inexpressible gratitude
for tnefr solvation of tbe oity .
Louisville rejoioes in tbe possession of a
preoooioua lour year oldster, who. be I no
placed in a closet by bis lather the other
day for disobedience of paternal authority,
instead ol crying put bis wits to work to set
out. Calling to bis father to come in and
see what be bsd found, the unsuspecting
paterfamilias walked in, while tbe four year
old slipped out and quickly turned the key,
leaving him to sweat it out. Presently, the
youngster called to hh pa to know if it was
hot In there; nor did he let bis prisoner out
until be replied in tbe affirmative.
Tbe following condensation of tbe Ten
Commandments Into ten lines of poetry is to
be tount in an old parish register lo Lan
caster, Nottinghamshire, England. It was
written in 168&:
' Have no other God but me;'
Unto no image bow the knee;
Take not the name of God lo vain;'
Bo not the Sabbath day profane;
Honor thy father and mother too;
And see tbat tbou no murder do; '
From vile adult'ry keep tbou clean;
And steal not tbo' tby stale be mean;
Bear no false witnes shun and blot;
What is tby neighbor's covet not.

what it Is, and we're a poor friendless man,
with only our vlrture, aod none but villains
would seek to iojure tbat."
An anecdote Is related or a young preacbs
er, who bad for bis text a verse from the
parable of the Ten Virgins; and in the
course of his sermon explained, "That In
old time it wag customary, when bridegroom
and groom were coming, for ten virgins to
go out and meet them, and escort them
home five or these virgins being male and
five females."
