RALEIGH, May 26.
INDIAN RELIcKs. We are informed by
an intelligent gentleman, that in digging
for gold recently, in the county Of Burke,
crucible was found at considerable dis
lance below the surface. which bore evil
dent marks ofhaving been much used. 1t
is believed that the aborigines were aware
Of the existence of gold formations, and
doubtless the crucible found had been
put in requisition by them for the purpose
of fiuxing the precious metal. This be-
lief is strengthened by the fact, that in the
same place whence the crucible was TAX.
en- soapstone slab was found, with ex-
cavations Of various sizes, which had pro-
badly been used in moulding ornaments,
to decorate the ears and noses of the In
dams, from the gold which had been pre-
viously melted in the erucible.-Reg.

resident in that ely has absconded, leaving
behind him notes to the amount of at least
$4,000. against persons who declare that
their signatures are counterfeited. 1t was
reported also that he had forged an accep-

of $4,000 sterling, and that when he left the
city he had exchanged checks to consider
