In digginga cellar in Braddock street,
during lbe present week, two human
skeletons were found in a state OF pre-
servation. Doe was standing upright;
the other was lying on its face, with
the right arm extended in the direction
of the head, and the other lying by the
side. The probability is, that the
skeletons are those of Indians, who
were killed during the hostillties which
proceeded Braddock's war. ftiskpown

From The Portsmouth (N H.) Journal,
Aug. 26.--Isaah Thomas, Esq. of Wor-
cester, Mass. the oldest Printer, and
one of the most respectable mechanics
in New England, made short visit to
this town the present week. Fifty i've
years since, he was employed ten
months in the office of Mr., Fowle, prin-
ter of the New Hampshire Gazette. He
then boarded on the point near New
Castle Bridge; but as he had not been
here for fifty years before his late visit,
he conld see no house bearing any re-
semblance to the one in which he for
merly lived. His appearance is veneer
able, but his age has notdeprived him OF
vigour and activity of body, and his en-
qulries after various persons and institu-
tons evince full retention of the fac
ulties on his mind.
