AT GRAIVION.
On Tuesday afternoon, while some workmen were
employed in the formation of a drain in frLut of the
brick cottoges at V. arthe, iii-or Grunion Pe ir, they Cn°
upon a rudely-formed tomb, which, on :.üb,a Tient altars:ll:
nation, was found to contain the bones of two pers°ll'
The tomb was about five feet in length, and two feet ill
breadth. The stones used in the construction of th 2:
singular place of sepulture were brotp,ht from the 96
bedded rocks on the adjoining shore, and while they „,
peeredevident, at theh same time, that they had been fitted an
joined into one another-with something like mechanics'
exactness. The top of the tomb would not be more th°
eighteen inches from the surface ; and as one of tbdit
corner stones protruded some inches above the groulli.'
it is conjectured that it was intended as a mark to inul;
cate where the bodies were interred. All the intrrso
part of the tomb, except the space occupied by the bean
was filled with sand. One of the the
was bar':
with the head towards the east, and e other towards tPed
west. They were in a sort of sitting posture, the, !ta
being considerably elevated above the rest o
body ; and in the case of one of them the right
was raised above the head. The skeletons of 1W„to
were evidently very entire ; but as the workmen,
the first discovery of the tomb, did not use I°.'t
care in scooping out the sand, the skull and some
the principal bones of one of them were considersbfa
broken. The skeleton of the other body was roue
from its resting-place with more trouble and delibel:l3:
Lion ; and was of course in a more perfect
the inspection of the curious. The teeth of both wee
in fine preservation, and perfectly white. One of, es
skulls is a good deal larger than the other. The fate
of a rude and curiously formed ring and btit
having been found among the sand, which came °title
the tomb, favours the conclusion that the remains wfog
those of persons in a state of demi-civilisation. The on,
is apparently formed either of brass or copper, and,_fcly

more ingenious in its construction, af-d approsilna"o
very closely to those in use among us at the pre3eu
day. Mr. Howkias, the resident engineer at Grant°b's
is in possession of these articles, and we lia‘e no (Ouch

matters a look at them. The tomb must ori.inally 011

water mark, and is not above thrice that distance 11,000

when the remains were first discovered, that a 0u —o
had been committed, but there is nothing whatever„
warrant this conclusion. Indeed, the fact of the brill:
ing-place having been finished with such care ono.
()our, affords an evident contradiction to all such "
raises.—Scotsman.
