Jan Z4.ii- Singui.ak Discovery.—A singu lar discovery, says the London Globe, has Iteen made at the old Conciergerie, iu Paris. At the Court of Cassation tire had destroyed two out of the three towers, and a few days since, the work men engaged iu repairing that named alter St. Louis, came suddenly upon a mysteriously deep well. This was contrived curiously in the wall facing the quarry, and proved to he nothing less than the fatal dungeon of the old | palace of tit. Louis. Yet uone of the historians of the Concigerie mentioned it, and chance aud mischance only have now made it known. An open ing of two square yards in one of the turrets reveals shorrid tunnel reaching the level of the Jcine. There is forms ot a gallery sloping downward to the bed of the river. The attempt to pen etrate into this fearful dungeon was fruitless, as the interior is lined with sharp iron spears and points, which cross each other in every directi ju. When this tower of St. Louis was used occasionally as the dwelling of the Kiugs of France, captives of note were confined in its underground prisons, and when the powers that were be came anxious to get rid of any one of them, they led him through a passage formed in the interior of the wall to ward this newly discovered dungeon, secret door was opened, and he was precipitated into the yawning chasm, and there, transfixed by spikes, he iterished in slow torture. Of course, it may be easily imagined that it was only portions of skeletons that ever reached the bed* of the Seine.

The boy who forged his mother’s name on a shingle with a piece of chalk, and bought five cents of candy with the bogus order, now languishes and slumbers on all-fours at night. The mother got possession of the shingle. A Sunday School scholar, only eight years old, was* asked ; “ Why they took Stephen outside the city to stone him to death ?” The little fel low thought a moment, and replied ; “So they could get a better crack at him.” This is indeed turning the tables with a vengeance. None but steady and square whisky drinkers are allow ed to live in Pioche, California. Habi tual water drinkers are ordered to leave by a Vigilance Committee. A verdant young man from the classic precints of Dooly county came to Macon, and put up at the Lanier House. Locking his room and leaving the key in the door he sauntered down the stairs and walking up to the clerk, said, “ I’ve got to go out in town to buy some tricks and I may be late, but you ueedn’t wait dinner for me.” The Sumpter (S. C.) News gives us the following, which is the best we have seen in a month: As one of our fast traveling Radical citizens dashed through Main street, the other day, behind his gallant, high stepping steed, some one expressed his admiration (for the horse, not for the driver), and wondered where he got him. A ready witted old gentleman who overheard the question, replied promptly, that the animal was sired by 1 State Treas ury,’ out of the dam ‘Taxes.’ One of the Ohio papers tells about a brave little boy out there who found a broken rail on the railroad track and perceiving the peril in which the train would be placed if it should come dashiDg post without warning, sat out on the fence for five long hours in the bitter winter cold, in order that he might carry the first news of the acci dent to his fathe*, who is local editor of a paper published in the neigU ing village. For three hours did Mr. Nathan Hosier, of Davis county, Ind., stand out by the fence and rave and cuss, and fear his hair, aud dare his wife to dome out doors—all this with the chill winds of February whirling up his trowsers legs, and all because of his wife. Hosier was a milk peddler, and had just sold his farm and was going The Augusta Chtftmek has this: At the rodent session of the Superior Court of Hdrcounty, Judge Rice pre- sitling, orm-ofthe most important cases tried JWHttfujjhnction iortho case Qf some thirty citizens of Hall county, against the Ordinary and Tax Collec tor, to restrain them from collecting a tax levied by the Ordinary to pay the interest mi fifty thousand Bolters of bonds issued by the county of Hall, as subscription to the Air-Line Railroad. The Court decided that the Court' of Ordinary had no authority to. issue bonds for the purpose of aiding a rail road- That such subscription would have been null and void without an net ofthe Legislature authorizing it, and that the Legislature was expressly prohibited, by the Constitution of 1861, 1865 and 1868, from passing anv act authorizing su^i contract. TheCourt passed a decree perpetually ignoring the collection of the tax and the ne gotiation of any bonds yet unsold. This decision settles a question which has given rise to considerable feeling and controversy in Hall county. hour Thursday night quite irty arrived in the city and put'tip-at one of our hotels.

Three days after his wife, who was anxiously waiting, his coming, heard as she thought at the door the voice of a neighbor, saying, “Mrs. Weston, John is frozen to death.” She went at once to the door, but nobody was there. So, six days after, another neighbor saw the missing man stand- ing about fifteen feet from the stable! West into some well-watered region to beard. He addressed him with, “Why, g]- ow u p with his cows. He .had stored bearing a climbing rose with tendrils enough t<? go over a front door. The wind had the whole garniture stiff and straight in the air above her, the Dolman sleeves were like two immense qj^iTwings each side of her, and numberless ’ buds of rose-color finished the fly away '** picitrffe. are you here ? we thought you were frozen.” When the ghost answered, “So I am. and my body lies a mile and a half northwest of Hersey.” With this the ghost vanished.
