Treasure-Trove—A Curious Re lic. —An ancient gold cross was found last winter in an excavation in the ruins of Clare Castle, in England, cf which the Queen de sired to know the history. As treasure trove, it became the property of the crown, and by the Queen’s command the antiqua rians have found out all about it. There is strong reasons, they say, for believing, that it formed at one time a port of the roy al collection of jewels belonging to King Edward 111, for it is recorded that he had among his jewels, kept for safe preservation in the ’lower of Lundon, ‘*un croysd'or double overe de trfliure quo cst de la croys Jhesu Crist, ct ne puit estre preise,”—“a cross of gold which represents the cross of Jesus Christ set with pearls and cannot be valued.” This description exactly answers to the cross found at Clare,lor that had fiur large pearls, one at each transverse section of the cross while the cross itself, with the figure of our Saviour upon it, was most beautifully foliated, and the chain, about two feet long was, of the richest description. How this precious royal jewel came to be found in the ruins of Clare Castle is thus accounted for: “It was the common practice of our sovereigns in former ages to bestow on their children and grandchildren, as wedding gifts,, rare jewels and relies ; and as Edward Ill’s grand daughter Philippa was married to Edmund Mortimer, the Lord of Clare and upon her marriage came to reside at the Castle, she in all probubi'ity had this jewel given to her on the occasion, and it was Ly her taken to the Castle, where it got lost. What confirms this history almost beyond all doubt is the fact that this particu lar jewel, before described in old French, disappeared from that very time from the numerous inventories which are extant of ike Royal jewel, which has been butied at Clare, lost fur five hundred-years, has once more come into royal possession. A Young Man Murders His Father. A day or two since we had the brief de tails of the murder of Jesse Rose by his son James Rose, aged nbuut nineteen, and the further fact that the young man had con fessed the parricide, and implicated his mother in the crime —The following are the particulars: “It appears that the father, Jesse Rose, has been in the habit of drawing the money his sons.had earned by their labor in the neighborhood, and said ho was going to oiaw* some sfo due the eldest son who is nineteen years old, on Friday last, liis son told him if he did he would kill him. The father went to a spelling school on that day, but it appears, did not get the money. The son, however, supposing he had got it, by his mother's instigation, and accompanied by his younger brother, hid behind a stump near some bushes by which the father would return. Before his fath er arrived the younger brether became frightened at the deed contemplated, and | fled. As Rose passed the stump tie oldest son struck him with the ax he hud with him, knocking h’s brains out, and then cut his throat with a butcher knife, leaving the body ly in"* until next morning, v. hen he gave the alarm to the neighbors, who found the body on Saturday morning, some three hundred yards from the house. Upon s 'arching tuc house bloody clothes were fouud, with some of the brains on them ; also the ax with which the deed was done They arrested the mother and both sons, when the eldest immediately confessed the deed. Rose was a lazy, shiftless sort of fel low and the mother hat; not borne a good name for some time.” The above facts are all that have so far been elicited.—Avrjus ta (Id.) Cor. Chicago Tribvne. The Late John Van Burcn. The New York Courier has the para graph below in reference to John Yan Bur en, whose death was announced last week : Certainly one of the most notable" men of New Yoik, has passed away from us in the person of John Yan Buren. As h popular orator there were none who was so able to seize and enchain the attention of assemblages; none who had the elements of power more developed in them than he. His intellect was vigorous and ripe ; he was a scholar of great acquirements ;he was genial in social intercourse; he had troops of devoted friends. And yet he achieved little comparatively. His lore of change, his lack of concentration of purpose, an(j his very good fellowship were obstacles in the way of his advancement. Men with a tithe of abilities passed him in the race of distinction, and achieved more for their State and themselves. "What he might have done in the [next ten years it is im possible to say, though many thinks he died just as his real strength was arriving at the first stage of an active development. Gen.
