e county; and by another son, Alexande
!. Lane, Esq. student at iaw--Who all say

. Mr.. Lane, the father, who is a man Of OBJ
seryation, gives it as bis decided opinion
that these are the skeletons Of adult per-
sons. He POUNDS bis opinion upon the so
Ilidity OF the bones of the heads, aud also
upon the fact, Of the sutures Of the scuiI'
being entirely closed aud solid.
| The trees growing where they were
found are Of as great size and age as any
lin The surrounding forest. Both at MIR.
Anderson's and Mr.. Lanes are many ex-
Etensive circular elevations Of earth, raised
1.-Two or three feet above the common sur
face, arranged 10 order, having the very
appearance of once popnious towns, upon
which are standing large trees; on one OF
them poplar of five feet diameter al least.
The small graves at Mr.. Lanes are ar
ranged; but at MIR. Anderson's there is a
large burying ground full Of them, with.
out any order as to position. That the
bones are human, Mr.. Lane says there
can he no doubt, aud that they are not
the bones Of children, be thinks unques-
lionabie.
