I know you have a hidden treasure: i wiii find it out.” The Marquis cast a look, in which sur- rise, horror, contempt, and pity seemed to e mingled, and than, without vouchsafing a word, withdrew {tom the room. We must now so back in our story to the worthy archzwlozist u ho we had left wend- ing his way tothe V it! a Polla. He had ar- rived there at the vet) time that the scenes above related were being enacted. He had written a note to the custodio Matheo, and had learnt in return that it was the Man uis’s orders that no stranger should be admitted to see the villa upon any consideration whatso- ever. But this did not drive our enthusiast away at once. To come from Rome to V0- rona,ans.l from Verona to Villa Polla, ex- presslv to see the sarcr phagus, and to return discomfitted‘? That would never do. S» he would stay and explore the approaches.-â€"- Taking up his quarters in a neighboring hostelry, he ascertained that the garrison was Composed of the barbarian Marquis, of Matheo, his wife. and daughter. He had endeavored to bribe the intendant, but found that that was not his weak point. He heard incidentallt‘ that ne was partial to the ex- cellent wine dispensed at Notre Dame de Pillar, as his hostelry was designated. So he adopted a plan of operations. Summoning the waiter, Beppo, to his presence, a kind of rustic Hercules, he offered to pay the ex- penses,and further to reward him handsome- ly, iiihe could overcome Matheo in a drink- ingbout. The proposal was one that suited Beppo’s inclinations remarkably. Even if he failed, and Matheo was known to be no unworthy adversary, he should at all events have his till of wine; so he closed at once, without troubling himself as to the why or wherefore at this singular request Our an- tiquary, however, got nothing b) the move “’hen midnight came, and our host had to close his house, there was, it is true, a long row of empty bottles, but neither of the champions had given in. Matheo walked away with all the honors due to so stout a drinker; and as to Beppo. he declared that he was ready to renew the combat the euâ€" sning evening. W'inckeimann was discom- fited. " I tell you what, Michel,” continued the intendant’s daugeter, “let him be here to- marrow night, at ten, with a dark lantern. I will provide the key and the ladder, and you shall show him the way, Michel, and we,” she added, with a little emphasis highly pleasurable to the headle's son, “ will have the reward.” Fortune, however, favored him the next evening where strategy had failed. He was walking around the park, seeking for some breach or practicable opening, when he heard voices within. He waited, listening. Sow a ladder was place against the wall, and a young man ascended it; then kissing his hand to some unknown below, he let himself down outside. Our archaiologist deemed it a fitting opportunity to present himself.

We can have no possible objection to the {naminer’s persistency in keeping the at- t rttion of its readers directed to the necessity of making a very extensive dismemberment of existing Counties for the sole, and obvi- ous purpose, of placing Mount Forest in a favorable position for a County Town, equal though it may be to an attempt to invert the order of nature: but, we do protest against his attempt to cover his purpose by insinuat- ing touching the dieinterestedness of others. Our contemporary is by no means insensible to the force of the reasons we urged to show, that the Townships in Wellington, Huron and Bruce, which are embraced in the scheme which he has undertaken to defend, have very little interest in common with Mount Forest. The counter-argument upon which he relies is that “the building of the County line of road between Grey and Wel- lington will do much to upset the fabric of his (our) argument.” We thought that this line was already built. “is have been in- formed that some six or more years since the part east of Mount Forest, which com- prises nearly the whole extent of the boundary, was placed under contract, in the hands of Mr. David Yeomans, of Mount Forest. Surely our contemporary does not desire to insinuate that this contract is not yet completed. Mount Forest must have had for several years, all the advantages which could accrue from the opening of the line. Why, then, does he tell a flattering tale? We say again, that instead of being envious at the prosperity of Mount Forest, we rejoice in it; but, if any consideration is given to the requirments and convenience of the public, it is utterly Incredible to suppose it will ever be the municipal centre of those Townships, which, to the imaginative Editor of the IExaminer, appears to be under the special protectorate of the venerable Palmer- ston.

We doubt not but that if the deputation from Mount Forest, designed to thwart and forestall the wishes of the people. should behonored with an audience of His Excellency, he may remind them in the spirit of David’s sonâ€"not David of Mount Forestâ€"that“ He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbor cometh and searcheth him.” THE S'l‘AN DARD. 15,000 Confederates troops are at Mobile.

At 2:15 p. m., the pedes- trian started, expressing the utmost confi- dence in his ability to walk the required dis- tance. Mr. Lovell,of the Westminister Ho- tel, with commendable forethought, had pre- pared the ground, so that it was admirably fitted for walking purposes; there was an elasticity and soundess noticeable. which in itselfwas enough to cheer the heart of any pedestrian. loseph Smith appeared in excellent health --â€"the severe cold and swelling m his face had vanished, and altogether he was in far more healthy condition than on Monday last. The “lap ” which he was to walk measured 110 yards, the pedestrian turning and retracing his steps each length; for this he was al- lowed half a second each time, but we have not included that in our score. Mr. F. Rich- ardson and Mr. Challoner accompanied the pedestrian, continually encouraging him and ministering to his requirments. From the moment he began to walk, Smith manifested more confidence and durability; his nerves seemed more powerfully braced, his eye clearer, and altogether those who were present appeared to participate in his pos itive assurance that he could accomplish the feat.

He ought to have three firings long and three short, three broad, three pure. The three long are the ears, the fore- ead, and the fore-legs; the three short are the bone of the tail,the hindlegs, and the back; the three broad are the forehead, the chest and and the quarters ; and the three pure are the skin, the eyes and the feet. He should have the withers high, the flanks fine, not fleshy, the tail well furnished near the root, the eye inclining as if to look at the nose, the forelock full, and nostrils wide their cavities entirely black, (if partly black it is a sign of inferior- ity), the fetlocks small, the hoof round and hard, the frogs hard and dry. He should be able to drink from a stream level with the surface on which he stands without bending i the forelegs. The colors most prized are a dark bay or chestnut (the latter esteemed the latest),fbrown or'black. Black are, however, ’thought less safe on rocky ground; white are considered soft. Roan, dun, and iron gray are little esteemed. A blaze, if all down the lace is approved; so are three white legs; but the rules on this matter are very fanciful. All these doctrines are supported by an infinity of proverbs, poetical quotations, and religious maxims, but it will be seen that they accord generally with our own ideas. Much impor- tance is attatched to a well lyingr shoulder: and to breadth of the chest, bUtll as a sec: urity against interfering and as giving room for the lungs. A pr ctical rule fortreccrénizing the developmentof the forehead is to measure the distance from the extremity of the bone of the tail along the along the back to the centre of the withers. then from that along the neck and crest, down the face to the up: per lip. lfthe two measurements are equal the horse will prove good, but of middling speed. .It the length is greater behind than ‘than belore. the 3":le wants p HVE‘T- if It is greater before than behind. he is excellent, and the greaterthe difference in measurement l the greater his superiority.

He pre- scribes repeated doses of a demotion of the root of this plant before the eruption has taken place. The effectwill be to hasten the breaking out which will follow in a few hours, when a second potion is to be admin- istered after an interval of five or six hours, a third dose which will cause the postules to dry up. Ifthe disease is far'advanced when the medicine is first given to the patient i will have the effect of reducing the fever, :1 second dose causing the pustules to tall off without leaving a scar.
