BOWLING GREEN. Nv. Nov %.


INDIAN ANTIeUIrlEs-Gen. Covington
has handed US some specimens oflndian
Antiquities which he has discovered at
his Salt Works on brakes Creek, twelve
miles from Bowling Green. As his
hands were digging away the earth for
some purpose, a few days ago, they
came to numerous fragments of salt
boilers, with the remains Of furnaces,
great quantities of cinders, Goals, SC.
There was every indication that our
predecessors used the spot for the same
purpose for which the General is now
using it.-Among the specimens which
ne brought us, are two pieces of the
boilers. They are made of clay, mixed
with shining substance, not unlike the
composition Of common crucibles, as
hard as our potter's ware and about a
quarter of an inch thick, and from the
curve of the pieces we should nudge
that the vessels were from two and a
half to three feet in diameter, with fiat
bottoms. The ashes, in vast beds, have
turned to stony substance, resemb-
ling pumice stone. Trees of the lar
gest dimensions grow upon the spot.

according TO the custom of the country,
were sung before the door; but at the
very moment; when they were going

was seen upon her skin, and in "a few
minutes it was succeeded by convul-
sive motion in the hands and feet In a
few moments, she opened her eyes, and
uttered a piercing scream. The faculty
were instantly called in, and in the
space Of few days, her health was
completely re-established. The ac-
count which she gave of her situation
is extremely curious. She said that
she appeared to dream that she was
dead, but that she was sensible of every
thing that was passing round her, and
distinctly heard her friends bewaiIine
her death: she felt them envelope hel
in the shroud, and place her in the cot
fin. This sensation gave her extreme
agony; and she attemptedto speak, bu
her soul was unable to act upon her DO
dy. She describes her sensations az
very contradictory, as if she was, ant

same instant. She attempted in vail
to move her arms, to open her eyes
or to speak. The agony of her min,
was at its height, when she heard III,

Power OF ELoeUENcE.-The President
O. college in the Western part of New
York, had, by a judicious division of STU
dy, so occupied the time of the week,
that the students found it impossible to
have any fun beyond the limits of the
college; to this was added two recita-
lions for Sunday, one in the morning,
and one at noon these being completed,
however, the scholars assembled after
church in the yard prevent this, the
President gave notice that he should lee
tnre on scripture subjects in the chapel
al o'clock every Sabbath, and dire eted
the scholars to appear; it was defermn,
ed by the students that whatever power
the President might possess, to cali them
to the chapel, they were determined that
they would be independent as it regard
ed the lecture, and accordingly each as
to take a book and commence reading as
soon as the President entered upon the
lecture. Our informant took volume

the destruction of Jerusalem, and almost

hat Briggs was entirely lifeless, and
no signs OF life appeared afterwards.
The body was carried in and examin-
ed. The only apparent bruises were
on his right jaw, and the neck near
the jaw. The jaw bone was broken,
and the brain near the right ear ap-
peared to have been injured. Palmer
was arrested, and ON Saturday last was
brought into town and committed to Jail.
He will probably be tried at the next
term of the Supreme court in this town.

ROBBERY OF THE GRAVE On the
night of Wednesday the eth inst. the
grave ola respectable young female in
the town of Orange, was opened, and
the corpse stolen therefrom for the
purpose of dissection. The friends OF
the deceased, after discovering the out.
rage, procured search warrant, and
repaired TO the Medical College in this
city, where, after thorough search.
the corpse was found: fortunately il
had not been dissected, and the body
was reconveyed 10 the place from
whence 1t was taken, attended by a
numerous procession of sympathizine
TRENDS. The next DAY inc Remains
were buried in the garden of the pa
sent, attended by nearly the whole
population of Orange, and several from
this city. The Rev. Mr.. Stebbins, who
assisted at the funeral solemnities,
made an appropriate address, peculiar
ly adapted to the mourDful occasion.
The civil authority have been bust
y employed during the week, in fer
reting out the perpetrators of this Of
fence; one person has been bound
over to the Superior Court, in a bond
of one thousand dollars to answer TO
the charge; and process we under
stand has been issued against others,
and no pains or expense will be spared
to bring the offenders TO justice.
We have never known so great an
excitement in the city on any occasion
as we have witnessed during the past
week. For two nights, it was nccessa-
/ ry for the civil authority and the exc
cutive officers to be employed, aided
by a detachment of the militia, in
preventing acts of violence on the
part Of an indignant community.

us velocity was great. and its course
norlhward. After it passed the city, it
exploded with noise resembling dis
liant thunder. From the time that O.
