FltOJI PORTLAND. The City Beginning to Kill With Strong, era—Arrival ot the Michigan Delega tion-The Prohibition Law to be Strictly Enforced—The Tents all up and Everything Ready lor the Vet erans—General Logan and Other Dis tinguished Visitors Expected. Portland, June 20. The citizens have appointed a committee of public comfort and safety of one hundred and fifty to attend to visiting strangers En campment week. At a meeting oi the com mittee, Saturday morning, the Law and Order League and Woman’s Christian Tem perance Uniun presented a resolution asking that all liquor coming into the city during next week be brought to the city building to be disposed of by the local officers. The res olution was discussed. The general senti ment was that the committee could not bur den themselves with the enforcement of the laws, and the resolution was laid on -the table. Portland is beginning to fill up with strang ers. Committees from the State posts are arriving to arrange for quarters. The head quarters of the executive committee were crowded all Saturday forenoon. A large number of building are being decorated. Three large arches are nearly completed on Congress street. The camp is about com plcteled and the tents are all up. Thousands of citizens are visiting the encampment con stantly. The Michigan delegation arrived at one o’clock this afternoon, on the Grand Trunk railroad, in six Pullman cars. The party left Michigan Thursday morning,sailed down the St. Lawrence without long stops, and came directly through. The party numbers 150, nearly one-fourth being ladies. It in cludes Gov. Alger, wife and daughters. Pen sion Commissioner Black, Gen. B. R. Pierce and wife, Department Commander Leny and wife. They went through Portland, without stop, to Old Orchard, where they will be quartered. The Union Mutual Life Insur ance Company has today given the execu tive committee on the National Encampment a room to be used for press headquarters in the same building occupied by the committee, furnished with telegraph, and it will be open day and night for the convenience of re porters. There is some feeling oi indignation here over dispatches which have been sent out in reference to the intended enforcement of the liquor law and the resulting possibility of trouble next week. For the benefit of the curious it can be stated that both Mayor Deering and Marshal Andrews declare to night that the law will be enforced to the ex tent of their ability next week. The or. dinary police force of the city is about 40 strong. Next week it will be enforced by 100 specials, to say nothing of a half a dozen officers from Bangor, as many from Lewis ton, and men from Augusta, Biddeford and other places in the State, together with thg detective* of experience from Boston and New York. Some of the Boston officers are about town tonight. But all these detectives and out-of-town officers will have their atten tion engaged in other ways than seeking for liquor. The regular force will probably keep the known sellers from reopening their places, and that will be all. At a meeting today, at which the mayor and other citizens were present, a demand was made by some of the female prohibition ists, that all packages of liqor brought into the city next week be seized on suspicion, as could lawfully be done, and held for the lawful period. This would have meant the capture of a case of beer or wine, brought here for private use, and its retention after the visitors have departed. The mayor op posed such a scheme, and the citizen's com mittee on safety and comfort declined to in dorse it. Probably nothing of the kind will be attempted, though some of the radicals favor anything which will annoy those who do not agree with them. Gen. Neal Dow said last winter that there would be liquor enough if anybody wanted it and he was probably correct. That any trouble will arise is not probable and both the mayor and marshall agree to this. Portland, June 21. At the Encampment on the Eastern Prom enade today there has been a great throng of visitors, mostly city people. The tents are all up and make a fine appearance. The officials have been engaged assigning quart ers. The tents now alloted to Maine, Massa chusetts. New Hampshire aDd Vermont are on the right of the line; New Jersey, Michi gan, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Ne braska on the left. A train of six cars arrived from Bangor to night at seven o’clock, having on board 150 delegates from the eastern part of the State. A great rush is expected tomorrow on all the road*. The Maine Central and Portland It Ogdensburg have cancelled all freight train* for the week to accommodate the nnusual passenger business. A large number of pas senger trains will arrive over the Grand Trunk tomorrow. Charles S. Baker of Rochester, S. Y., arrived today. General Logan is expected on the boat tomorrow night and will be the guest of Hon. Thomas B. Reed. General Slocum and Gen. Rosecrans will be guests of Col. A. W. Bradbury. Gen. Barnum and Gen. Reynolds will come. Such of the decorations as are now in position make a very gay appearance. On Congress and Middle streets some of the decorative exhibitions are quite imposing. Large arches extend over Congress‘street at the Encampment beadqnartefs on the Prom enade, in Market square opposite Thacher Pott Hall and a double arch in Congreea square, all bearing appropriate mottoes. .COMMENCEMENT EXERCISER.

An Unknown Man Drops Dead at Bath. Bath, June 20. A man, apparently a sailor, about 35 years of age, dropped dead on the street in Bath, Saturday afternoon. From a ticket found in his pocket, it is supposed he came from Bos ton on the steamer Star of the East, Friday night. “T. G." in India ink was on his right arm near the wrist.

A horrible accident occurred here at 9.30 o'clock tonight. Three men, who gave their names as Patrick Conley, aged about 22 years, of Springfield, Mass., Wm. Bennett, about 55. of New York, and Thos. Daley, about 45, who would only say he came from Ireland, were sitting or asleep in the dark on tbe side track by Tsvlor’s lumber yard. Tbe air line switch train backed down over all three. It is thought that Conley and Daly cannot survive. Bennett seems not fatally hurt. They were travelling as umbrella menders, etc., and are strangers about town and nothing is known about them. They have been here about a week. Conley bad both legs crushed and will die. Bennett suf fered concussion of tbe spine, and Daley’s right-leg is crushed. Neither of these injur ies are necessarily fatal. It it ascertained that Ben net is 72 years old, a painter, and belongs in Brooklyn. He came here from Hartford yesterday. All three of the men were drunk. SPORTING. BASE BALL. The Biddeford* Defeated. Lawrence, June 20. The Lawrence* defeated the Biddeford* today at the Association grounds.

An Exciting Race Between the Colum bia*) and Harvards, in which the Latter Bins. New London, Ct.. June 20. The weath r is delightful and the prospects are that the water on the Thames course will be favorable for fast time in the Columbia Harvard University race, at 6.30 this after noon. Columbia has rowed over the four mile course several times and made the dis tance in less than 21 minutes. Harvard has only rowed over three miles of the course in practice. More college men are here than usual to witness the race. The start was made at 5.38 P. M. Har vard gripped the water first, and rowing 41 strokes to the minute to 34 by the Columbias, immediately got the lead by one length. At the first half mile flag the Harvards had gained three lengths. The half mile was made by her in 5m. 55s, and by the Columbia about 20s later. Going toward the mile fiag the New York crew hit up their stroke to 30, Harvard contenting herself with 30. The mile was rowed by Harvard in about 11m. 44s., and by Columbia in 10m. 47s., she being at least half a dozen open boat lengths behind her rival at that, point. The mile and a half was rowed by the Harvards eight lengths, at least, ahead of Columbia, and they passed the navy yard with that distance separating them. The two mile flag was next left behind. Harvard qovered the distance in 11m. 54s. and Colum bia in 12. 47s. Immediately after getting by the buoy, the New Yorkers made a terrific sport, sending their stroke up to 42 to the minute. Harvard did not respond bv increasing her stroke, but calmly kept on her way, and a half a mile farther on was a dozen instead of 8 or 9 lengths ahead of her rival. The effort was the Columbia’s last. It had exhausted her men. Harvard made the three miles in 18m. 40s., and Columbia covered the distance in 19m, 53s. The crimsons here led the New Yorkers an eighth ef a mile and the race was practically over with. Both crews kept on, however, and entered upon the last mile with consid erable vim. The Harvards made a spurt on the last quarter of a mile and finished a good quarter of a mile the best of Columbia. Harvard rowed the four miles in 24m. 27s. and Columbia finished in 26 m. 22s. DANGEROUSLY ILL. Precarious Condition of Senator Sabin of Minnesota St. Paul, Minn., June 20. It is greatly feared bv the family and friends of Senator Sabin that he is straggling with a fatal illness. For nearly a week the Senator has-been indisposed; but continued his daily duties until last Sunday afternoon, when he yielded and took to bed. A physi cian was summoned, who after a careful diagnosis, warned the family that Mr. Sabin was dangerously ill, pronouncing his ailment to be inflammation of the bowels. At the re quest of the family the newspapers refrained from publishing the facts until it became evi dent that concealment was useless. On Wednesday it was discovered by the attend ing physicians that two abcesses were form ing in his side, and then he pronounced the disease typhilitis, a complaint in which re covery is very uncertain. Ever since his prostration the senator has lain upon his back in constant and sleepless agony, unable to take anything but a small amount of liquid nourishment, and has wasted sway until he seems a mere skeleton. Each day has found his condition still more alarming, and his physician yesterday in order to prepare Mrs. t abin for the worst, told her that there was little or no chance for her husband’s recov ery Every possible attention is being ex tended to the afflicted man and hit family. IN THE NORTHWEST. Gen. Middleton to Give np the Chase Alter Hig Bear. Fort Pitt, June 20. A Wood Cree Indian gives information that the Wood Creea had broken from Big Bear's camp and had taken McLean and other prisoners with them. They were en route to Fort Pitt to surrender the prisoners. Gen. Middleton arrived here tonight. The Indians have not yet arrived with the pris oners. Middleton says the programme in the event of the prisoners being delivered up will be to give up the chase after Big Bear, place a garrison at the main points and let starvation do the rest. GEN. GRANT. The Patient Gets a Refreshing Sleep School Children Pieseat (lias With a Boaqnet Which Pleases Bias Mach— No Appareot Change ia Bis Condition. Mt. McGregor, N. Y., June 20. General Grant did not sleep as well last night as on the previous nights, but was quiet and free from pain while sleeping. The General was as much refreshed as by sleep at any time, the intervals of waking being last night rather more frequent. Dr. Doug las was called only once, and then to clean the General’s throat after having taken food. Bis pulse then was 72 and his voice clear. When the general was aroused this morning his pulse was 68, full, strong and regular. The General did not appear to-day upon the piazza until noon. He had dozed through much ot the forenoon, and sought thus to re cover the sleep lost through breaks of wake fulness during the night. Almost as toon as he had taken hit chair on the piazza, a lad who headed a delegation of 20 children from the Saratoga high school, ascended the steps bearing in his bands a large bouquet, and ad vancing to where the General sat, the young spokesman delivered a carefully pre pared address of welcome and sympathy. As he finished he handed the flowers to the General, who rose, and bowing to the chil dren, fairly smiled, and signified a desire1 that Dr. Douglas should thank them for their greeting and their token. The physician did so in pleasant words, in which he said, the General would be glad to say could he speak them, but which was impossible in his condi tion. The general was not a little touched by the incident, as the interest of children throughout his sickness has more deeply af fected him than the more imposing remem brances ot friends throughout the country. The little party of children trooped down the the steps with pleased and gladdened faces and returned to Saratoga on the 12.30 train, that had waited just below the cuttage for them to conclude their presentation. Before leaving his room to-day the General further demonstrated a renewed interest in his book by writing a paragraph to be inserted at a point in the work which he indicated to Col. Fred Grant. The amount written was not great, but the family and his physician feel gratified to observe the return of interest on the General’s pan in matters going on about him. Since mid-day the general has been sitting on the piazza, at times with the mem bers of the family near him, and at others alone, reading the New York morning papers. At 1 o’clock he threw aside a paper, arose slowly and made a round of the piazza, and then passed into the house to have his throat treated by Dr. Douglass, who at the moment was approaching the cottage from the dinner table. Mt. McGregor, June 21. “General Grant has slept 3 hours siuce he retired last night,” said Dr. Douglas at noon to-day. It was about one o'clock when the General made his appearance on the piazza. When a caller at this time asked how the General found himself when he arose, he was told that the General was decidedly better, and that all symptoms were decidedly im proved over yesterday. The General's voice was not so clear as when he awoke in the morning, but was quite audible. After list ening ten minutes to the conversation be tween members of the family, the General walked into the room used as an office and took up a pad of paper and returned to bis chair,put on his spectacles and began writing. While so engaged the family was called into lunch and the doctor haring wrapped a blan ket around the patient’s legs went up to the hotel. Gen. Grant was thus left alone on the piazza and he wrote steadily three quarters of an hour, until 2 o'clock. The General,though coughing a trifle more than yesterday, was having a peaceful Sun day, quite different from that which he spent in the city a week ago. After the family dined to-night the Gener al sat with them upon the piazza until nearly 8 o’clock, when he went within doors and didn't reappear. He had walked less than usual during the day. At 10.30 he retired. MARINE NEWS. Details ol a Severe Storm oa the Coast ol Newfoundland—Great Damage to Shipping and Other Property. Halifax, June 20. Mail advices from Newfoundland give the details of a terrible storm on the coast of that island last Sunday week, which show it to have been more disastrous than was at first reported. An enormous amount of shipping was destroyed and many lives lost. At Old Perlican all the fishing stages and other water side property was destroyed, and upwards of 40 vessels were totally wrecked. Two schooners only rode out the gale successfully. At Grates Cove the loss of property is said to have been considerable. Wreckage has drifted ashore, evidently of two schooners. One of the pieces of wreckage has stanchions and a roundhouse on it, painted blue, and part ot a name. A board has been picked up, painted black, with the letters “C-o-r-n” painted in white on it. The other wreckage 1s evidently that of a schooner of about 40 tons. It consists of broken spars and a part of a new deck frame and timbers. A second name board has been picked up, having upon it the name "Springbird.” A vessel loaded with provisions, bound from Catalina for Tivilin gale, and two other schooners were lost Three vessels at Little Catalina were driven from their moorings to sea. At Bird Island cove, three vessels and many small boats went ashore, and manv fish ing stages wcrc destroyed. Eight vessels went ashore at Brown’s cove and everything was swept away. Two schooners are ashore at Piate cove, and at Bona Vista five schooners were totally lost, and a great many stages and fishing jacks are also gone. The beach it filled with drift timber. Seventy-five vessels, large and small, were driven ashore at Bona Vista, and some were smashed. Large numbers of traps were lost; some were saved but rendered useless. All but four of the stages were swept away. The storm jy conceded to be the worst that visited Newfoundland in 40 years. Ths fact that most of the vessels lost were loaded with supplies for the fisheries is probably the worst feature of the disaster. Twenty-Five Years in Prison. New Bedford. June 21. Abigail Gardner died yesterday at the hodse of correction in this city where she was serving a life sentence for the marder of her husband, at Hingham, 25 or more years ago. She made a full confession recentiy to Bev. I. H. Coe, and was very penitent. She was nearly 77 years old. Attempted Wife Murder. Wbibs, N. H., Jane 21.

It is reported that 14 soldiars were wound ed by stones and two by shots. The street* are tranquil today. London, June 21. The following dispatch from Madrid gives a somewhat different account of the riots there “The riots in this city caused by opposi tion to the enforcement of sanitary regula tions, continue and far exceed in violence reports made by the officials. The latter ad mit that three civilians have been killed, but the number is really seven. The regular troops have been called out to take the place of the gendarmes, who have been sent into the country for quarantine and the streets are now occupied by military.” Madrid, June 21.

FROM WASHINGTON. A Noted OfScial Gives the President’s Views on Central American Affairs. Washington, June 21. The Sunday Herald today publishes an interview with “a member of the government who will have more or leas to do with car Tying out the President’s views” upon Central American affairs. The Herald says that the personage inter viewed is of the highest official rank and ton good a diplomatist to say anything that ought not be told. His remarks were in part as follows “Admiral Jouett’s last dispatches indicate that there will be trouble in Central America very soon, unless something is done to pre vent it. The matter has not come before the executive for consideration because there has been no occasion for it. The United States will not permit irresponsible persons in any country to endanger the lives and property of our own citizens by revolutionary organizations. Ths only thing I wish to state positively, touching the policy of the government in re gard to its foreign relations, is this It proposes to exercise a proper influence in the affairs of other States, wherever that influence ia required, that should he commu nicate with our position among nations, the circumstances will develope our foreign pol icy. It will be regulated by the necessities of the event, and will be guided and directed on the highest humanitarian principles of the Anglo-Saxon civilization. This is all that needs to be said.” A TERRIBLE STORY. A Young Girl Confesses to Poisoning Her Father, Mother and Sister. Chicago, June 20. Mary Kelman, a girl in jail here who has persistently aseerted her innocence of the crime with which she is charged—that of ad ministering poison to the family of Michael Freres, her sister, with whom she has made her home for a short time at Rose Hill, has now confessed to a reporter that the it guilty, not only of the attempt upon their lives, but of causing the deaths of her mother, father and another titter in Dubuque, In. Her mother died in July of last year, her sister Lena in August, and her father, Michael, in March of this year. She assigns no motive for her crimes other than that the was im pelled to commit them, and is evidently in sane. Mary Kelman ia less than 22 years old, slender, rather pretty, prepossessing in manner, and an invalid, having but partial use of her lower limbs and feet. She has an innocent expression, and looks even more youthful than she is. Her eyes have the strange, bright fixed look so often teen with a diseased mind. For the past two months the has lived with her titter at Rose Hill, to whom she came after the burial of her father in Dubuque. THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER. i A Jealous Husband Kills His Wile and Shoot* Himself. Pitts Brno, Pa., June 20. A special from Sbnusetown, Pa., says: Tbit morning about 8 o’clock, the people liv ing in the vicinity of John R. McKee’s resi dence in Logstown, near here, were startled by two pistol shou in rapid succession, and a moment later a five-year-old daughter ran screaming from the house: “Papa has killed mamma! Papa has killed mamma!” A crowd soon gathered, and upon forcing a way into the house the neighbors were horri fied at finding Mr. and Mrs. McKee lying on the floor in a pool of blood, the wife dead, but the husband still living. He was unable to speak, and it now in a comatose condition. In his hand he tightly clutched a revolver, two chambers of which were empty. No cause is known for the deed. It ia supposed, however, to be jealousy. McKee wee a pilot oa the river. FKOX WAftHHtSTOll. 1 «o v Plained Nukn-Wkat Ike BkiMa Herald dajre.

gxftg genttefctt founul Annate, Monday Morning, Jnnn 22. Democratic opposition to the proposed Illinois election law proved futile, sod it was passed finally by the Legislature of that Stale,Wednesday. The rascals are being turned oat, the latest to go being the colonel of the regi ment that captured Jeff Davis. He held a revenue ooliectorship in Wisconsin, but his conduct in the Davis episode showed that be was an offensive partisan of the deepest dye. The verdict of the jury in the Budden siek case will be received by the people with hearty approval. He stands convict ed of manslaughter in the seoond degree, the penalty for which is imprisonment for a term of from one to ten years, and a fine not to exceed $1,000, and though the usu al efforts will be made to reverse the righteous judgement, the prospects are good lhal this notorious and persistent of- i fender will at last meet with the punish-; ment he long ago deserved. The captain of the Old Dominion steam er Guyandotle, nays the New York Trib une, should hold an inqnest of lunacy on the two firemen who deliberately tapped the bottom of the vessel Thursday, and let as much of the North riverinassde would hold lying Jn the mud beside her pier, and then pul himself under examination to learn how he happened to ship such fools. Men who open twelve-ineh holes through the hull of a ship below the water line, and are astonished to see the water pour in. are scarcely tit to be seamen; they ought to work in granite qurrries, where the bottom is thick. The alleged Christian African chief, AI legogha, who caused his nine hostages to be cooked and eaten because the men who had assaulted him were not delivered up quickly enough, seems to entertain some what vague and mistaken ideas as to the responsibilities and restribtion imposed upon him by his new religion. In tact, he is as fur astray as was the New Zealand chief who being told by the missionaries thut as a Christian he must have but one wife, went away cheerfully and reduced himself to a condition of monogamy by cooking and eating bis superfluous spouses. The Announcement of the Conservative Ministry oi Great Britain has had a curi ously mixed effect abroad. Germany hails it as friendly, and so we must ex pect to hear that France execrates it as hostile. The one power whose sentiments upon the subject are most important just now to Great Britain is Russia, and in Russia the news is received as the newsof an attempt to reopen the question which was just about to close. Lord Salisbury himsclt is bated in Russia for some re marks which he was indiscreet enough to make not long ago upen the national char acter oi the Russian people. The appoint ment ol Lord Randolph Churchill as Sec retary for India is also regarded as an un friendly act. II a wild desire to do things and cut a figure should happen to take Lord Randolph, and bis colleagues do not unite to suppress hint, it is quite within his power to embroil Knglaud with Russia once more. The second report on “The Mineral Resources of the United States,” by Albert Williams, Jr., chief of the Division of Mining Statistics and Technology, United Slates Oeological Survey, is now in press and will shortly be issued, giving proba bly the most complete report In our min eral and metallic resources and products ever yet published. There are few sec tions ol the country destitute of such re sources, aud experience has proved that most of these can be worked with profit. The largest production from these sources in any single year was In 1882, when the grand total ol valuation reached the enor mous sum ol $155,216,689, of which $219, 755,109, represented the value of the metals produced, and $235,461,580 the value of the mineral products. The value of the combined product was $3,012,061, less in 1883, and in 1884 it was $42,112, 069 less than in 1882; but this decline in valuation has been due to a decrease in price owing to business depression, rather than to decrease in quantity, several of the most important metals and minerals show ing a decided increase in production, not withstanding the general dullness of trade; and the over-production, taking the whole field into consideration, has been less than was feared. Alleged liellc of the Savior. 1 whs present on Whit Monday at a religious ceremony of a very remarkable kind, which it celebrated every year in the parish church of Argenteuil, a small town upon the banks of the Seine, just outside Paris. For 10 days every year, from As cension Day to Whit Monday, a casket, con taining one of the supposed fragments of the robe or tunic worn by our Lord just before his crucittcion, is carried in procession along the aisle ot the church, and the congregation are afterward admitted to view it in the vestry. Many of your readers will doubtless be aware that what is said to be the exterior robe worn by our Lord it pre served in the church of Treves in Germany, but that at the Argenteuil is alleged to be the inner garment which the Savior wore, and for which the Roraao soldiers cast lots, the holy tunic it inclosed within a double ahrine. and ia only exhibited in its entirety at rare intervals, at it is placed under teal by the Bishop of the diocese (Verssillet), who alone has authority under the Pope, to break them. Thirty years ago the teals were bro ken by the then Bishop, as the late Pope had expressed a wish to have a fragment of the •acred garment, and at the same time two other fragment were cut out of it and placed in two small shrines, which the faithful are allowed to kiss, kneeling at the altar. The •eais affixed in 1854 began to crumble away about three years ago, and they were re newed by the Bishop of Versailles just before the Whitsun festival, among those present being the par ish priest of Argenteuil, who tells me that the holy tunic is made of camel’s hair, being dark brown in color, and very much like the garment which the Arab* of the present day wear next the (kin. He add* that it we* ex amined through a microscope, sad that el! who were present noaaimoutly agreed that they could detect net (tain* bat traces which they are eooviaeed ere of blood. Beyond remarking there is no inherent impossi bility in s earner* hair garment being pre ferred for 18 centuries. I do not feel called upon to express any opinion as to the authen ticity of this relic, which, however, is vene rated a* each by ail Catholic*, and believed by them to have been the mean* of effecting many tn’racnlon* cure*, amoog other* tbo»e I of the elde*t son of Lord Clifford, the Marqne* d'Harcourt, and the Comte de j Dams*, who was for many year* a companion of the Comp* de Chain bo rd —Cor,, London Daily .Veter. Ancient and Modern War. Th* only difference between ancient and modern armies it in the application of steam, gun-powder and dynamite—a very great one in appearance, but not *o roach *o in reality. Modern armies do not need to be *o large in the field ancient armie*; yet it i» very questionable whether fewer people are re quired for an effective war in modern time* than of old. The men who make the powder and dynamite, and the girl* who fill the car tridge* are quite as mneb part and parcel of a modern army as the roldierr who fire them off, and run pretty nearly similar risks. The methods of modern warfare are exactly the same aa of ancient warfare, and relatively not much more effective, though just as coarse and brutal. The long bow was quite as effective a weapon aa the rifle, and modern cannon do not seem to be any great advance on the j hatistoe and battering rams ol the ancients. I In nsval warfare we have actually gone back j again to one ot the moa( ancient naval l manosvres. that of ramming. The aeige train* of the present day are ju«t as cumber some as siege train* in times when, as the Bible tells us. "Mountains and hills were laid 1 low and valleys exalted when rough place* were made plain and the crooked straight.” Science has not yet said it* last word on the adaption of nature’s secret* to resistance against rapine, carnage and wrong whether, exercised by nation against nation or nations 1 against individuals. Even now substances are known to chemists which it only needs finer mechanical skill to make into efficient and invincible agent* for defending civilization against barbarism and savagery. What se crets may be, and no doubt are, hid in the womb of nature, and are waiting to be re vealed by the hand of science, can only be conjectured. But we may be sure of this much that the higher the civilization and the more developed the intellect of the future the more hopeless will become the attempts of needy and adventurous barbarians against the well-being of rich and highly civilized na tions. If the Romans had left to Britain with their civilization a body of physical knowledge similar to that even of today, the .Saxon conquest would have been imppossi Me.—The Spectator. General News. A watch lost in an Essex field four years ago was recently found and put in good run ning order at an expense of 92.50.
