His family became alarmed at bis absence and “began search for him. Iu the search for ,him it was though* that he was drowned in the Newark sewer canal, also in a New York sewer, and search made for him u* ibotl- places. Last Tuesday his body was found in the woods ot Orange Mountain, New Jersey, near the summer residence ot -Geo. McClellan. Ilis ftiends suspected for a long time that his mind was diseased, lie never neglected his business, however, I und the popularity of the restaurant grew j under Itis management. He is supposed j to have wandered aimlessly about, suffetiug from cold, and to have walked off Irom the Jhighway, during a heavy storm ou Sun Jay last, aud fell iuto a gully aud diet from exposure.

The Texas Legislature met in extra ses siou ou Wednesday for the purpose, main- ly, of discovering some way ol cheeking Hie reign of lawlessness iu tbe State. The Governor has opinly nek now It dyed that j he in powerless to enforce the law, uud i ! give citizens the protection which they do- : ! mand and to wfiioh they are entitled. For I , six tirnihs or more neither life nor prop ; I i rty has been entirely safe in portions of j i the State. The troub e is about l’ouces. j , A certain class ot stock mum say that uo j 1 fiuces shall he built for the purpose of eo 1 j closing pasture grounds. They are per fectly willing that a fence shall le built i arouml a house or a cultivated field, but not around land that is used as a range Within the last few years wealthy men have bought large tracts ol laud iu the State, aud, as they they wanted the exclu sive use of their land, they enclosed it , i Stock men, who hold that grass is free whether on public or private laud, have determined that there eha 1 1 he no enclosed pasture lauds. They destroy the fences about as fast as they are built. Os course this produces conflicts und disturbs the peace of neighborhoods tSo great lias the trouble become that it is known as the fence war throughout the State. It is ini possible to tell how many lives have already been sacrificed or hew much property lias been destroyed. Tbe best cit.jgens of tbe Slate have become seriously alarmed at the condition of affiirs There are grave doubts whelhir the Legislature will tie able to deal with the difficulty satisfactorily. The prevailing sentiment seems to be lo | make fence cutting u penal offense, but as j I the f. nee cutters have a good many frieuds | in the Legislature it is questioned whether j a law of that kiud can be enacted. II there was such a law it is not probable that it could be enforced, particularly in counties where the “tree grass” party is in the ascendant. There is no doubt that it u nan owos land he has a right to fence it in. l.t is the duty of Texas to see that her citizens are protected in that tight. If she allows an irresponsible mob to make j the law relative to fences she will find that ! immigrants will avoid her.— JHuv. Neics. Au Act.

Mr. James Stephens, of the geological survey, has reported the discovery of several ruined cave and cliff cities in Ari zona. One village consisted of sixty-five underground dwellings near the summit of j one ot the foothills in tiro Sim ,) uau region, j 1 he hill crest termed the roof for the en- i titc community. Ihe dwellings are acces- j sible through shafts loading straight d wn. i | Foot-holes in the shafts gave means of de- i . scent to the inhabitants, and a slot opposite i egress to the suioke. ’1 here are four rooms to j | each dwelling. In these houses were found I stouo mauls and axes, decorated pottery, i . bone awls and delicately constructed | needles, stones for grinding corn, orna ments and implements ot wood, the uses I |of which are not known. Another village ! j built along a cliff, the face of which form- j led the rear wall for all the bouses, was ! louud near by. Amongst the relics there ■ found was a wooden spindle similar to ] those now used by the Pueblos Indians. ; Its reed shaft J\as also found, a split in it having,beenaeatly wrapped with a thread,! which under the microscope was found to ibe composed qf fine human hair. Perfect j grains of corn, walnuts, the bones of an elk, antelope and wtlf, portions of wearing j apparel made from an unknown material, ! | itutl many other perishable ar.teles were ! i found. Preserved as they were, they ■ j might elsewhere have indicated a very re- | coat inhabitancy? of the village, but in tli ■ i | high, dry atr.of the region round about i nothing decays.
